    So far:

     

    Tomb Raider Legend

    God Hand

    Metal Slug 4 & 5

    WarioWare (if you can count this :) )

    Rayman Rabbids

     

    And, thank god, just tonight, after over a decade of playing it in the arcade on and off, Magician Lord! I just about threw my AES stick across the room when I found out I had to fight all 8 minibosses and then the final boss in one run. :x

    Going for FF12, Jade Empire, RType Final, and Super Spy next.

    So, I picked up (NIB) copies of Final RType and Gradius V for 5bux a piece. RType is pretty much the same as the very first (memorize, memorize, memorize) and I blew through Gradius V on normal on my first go through.

     

    Can anyone recommend any other shmups for the PS2 / Xbox / GC? I've got most of the standards (Ikaruga, etc) but I'm hoping I might have missed a few US gems.

    I think you might have hit the nail on the head, I wanted one of these so f'ing bad during my youth, I think I somehow turned it in to the holy grail of gaming.

     

    But, I actually really do like the games. :D I'm hoping to finally get past the corridors of hell in mag lord and find another joystiq so I can actually beat Nam 75 :x

     

    I have to admit, there is something about the AES that is cool. Even though I own an MVS and several games I still do think about buying an AES with a few games now and then. I think it has something to do with how bad I wanted one as a kid but couldn't afford it ($600 is a LOT of money for a teenager, not to mention the $100 price tag on games) Now I could actually buy one if I wanted to :ponder: I think my MVS will do just fine though.

    Shock boxes are nice, but it'll get really expensive really fast, and in the end, the cartridges still look like shit, and you have no manuals... so I really don't see much point myself. Just get used to the idea of having MVS cartridges on the shelf and you'll save yourself a lot of time, money, and headaches in the long run.

     

    sigh. i guess i'm going to cave in on this one and just try to pick up AES carts as I can.

     

    so, does anyone have anything negative to say about the MVS Converter II?

    i don't want to pay 250$+ for a POS.

    So, despite the best efforts of the community to deter me from collecting for this beast, I've been slowly amassing the common carts (Magician Lord, Nam, etc).

     

    So far, I've purchased all my stuff through NeoStore (which is one of the best places I've ever purchased VG stuff from!), but they're running out of interesting stock I can afford/justify. Besides eBay, does anyone have suggestions of other stores or communities that carry reasonably (ha) priced US AES carts?

     

    My wife told me just to buy the MVS converter, but I just love the AES carts so much. :(

    For trade (or free), have a 2600, 3 - 4 sticks and 6 games (pacman, night driver, stampede, combat, freeway, donkey kong), hoping someone local to the area will pick it up.

     

    Comes with the power cable, but seems to be missing the adapter that connects the prong to the tv.

     

    Haven't tested any of the gear, but I'm not an Atari fan, so if anyone in the NoVA / DC area wants it (I'm in Ashburn) it's theirs.

     

    If you'd like to donate something small for it, I'm looking for those damn bits for the Nintendo screws/nuts, or a handful of loose NES/SNES/Gen carts.

     

    Let me know! :D

    This is an interesting question you pose. Often I finding myself reading about games, hanging out on here and /v/, or watching Cinematech more than actually playing games anymore.

     

    I have mild, mild anxiety about what to play sometimes. I'm pushing probably 300 games now out of storage. I'll pop in Mega Man 2 and wonder if I'd rather play Klax, etc.

     

    I've thought about this before, but never came up with a good answer.

    raindog151:

    Some advice that's already been said several times yet needs to be reitterated, sell the stuff and get something that you enjoy or like to try out. I'd suggest selling everything individually on eBay at decent low starting bids AS a last resort. Check around forums and ask if anyone is looking for anything you're letting go, you may make some extra money and new friends, maybe they can trade too.

     

    Thanks CF, I'm hoping I'll be able to do just that:

    Wish me luck. Hope I'm not overreaching. :D
