  1. I've got a package coming in the mail, just checked its tracking to see wher it is. It arrived this morning in Sunnyvale. Shame its not something Atari related, that would be a funny place for it to pass through if it was.

  2. Got confirmation that my Duo-R shipped this morning. C:

  3. I can not believe how difficult it is to find the SNK collection for the PSP locally. Called every game stop(yeah yeah I know) within a reasonable distance and a few that weren't as well as my local retro stores. Most had a copy but of course they were all loose with no manual which I have no desire to buy. :/ Oh well looks like I'll just have to drive down to the taco shop and play their MVS to get my much needed Neo Geo fix until the copy I'm about to order arrvies. :P

      I'd prefer a physical copy. Unless its like a couple of bucks I'd rather pay a little more for a real copy.

      mmmmm...eating tacos and playing MVS

      Can't get much better then that can it? :P Unless I was at home playing my own MVS and eating tacos. Someday. lol Gonna go get food likely around 7 when I do I'm going with a pocket full of quarters. :D

  4. Attempting to figure out how to play hanafuda cards online, I'm totally baffled by whats happening but I'm winning so far. lol

  5. Thinking of picking up one or two psp collections tomorrow. Thinking maybe the Sega Genesis collection, SNK vol 1 or maybe the Metal Slug Anthology.

    1. Crazy Climber

      Crazy Climber

      Slug and genny collections are fantastic! I bet the SNK one is too but I have yet to find a CIB one local...

       

  6. Anyone havea clean Neo Geo Pocket Color with a decent selection of games they'd be interested in trading me for my copy of Eye of The Beholder? If its an ocean blue would be a huge plus. :P

      Zedex

      Eye Of The Beholder for what system?

    2. A_Locomotive

      Oh sorry, for the Lynx.

    3. Zedex

      For the Lynx? Sounds neat.

  7. Was a flash cart ever made for the Neo Geo AES? One has been for sale on my local craigslist for over a month now and its always tempting me but I haven't yet bothered to even contact him since I know how crazy expensive games are for them but if there is a flash cart option maybe I might. :P

      Of note, I've only seen (and own) MVS flash carts, so a converter should probably be on your shopping list too.

      ...err, I meant multicarts. in that last comment.

      I don't think any flash carts were ever made, only multi-carts.

  8. Just sent payment for my Duo-R and now the painful waiting begins. :P

      From D-Lite on PCengineFX. Found his site while trying to find listings for them for sale. Great guy, he is also doing a region mod for me so I can play my TG16 games on it as well.

      cool, they are nice looking consoles :)

      I agree, the Duo-R I personally think is one of the nicest looking consoles ever made.

      Haha yes but I'm paying a pretty penny for the privilege

      . :P

  10. Just did my registration for comic-con 2012. Almost forgot about it, glad my friend asked me about it, Dec 2nd was the last day I could have before my money was refunded. :P

  11. A couple new items up on my for sale thread as well as a request for a very unlikely trade. :P

  12. Found a baby turtle outside of work on the way home. Baffled on how it got there. It was a little green turtle only about 2 inches long. Walking frantically across the cement outside the costco. Snatched it up before it could get stepped on or run over and took it inside to find a box to take it home. Ended up finding a home for it with another co worker. :P

      That's awesome. One time I found a frog in my kitchen sink (must have hitched a ride in with some veggies). We have a little wetlands preserve thing down the street, so I took it down there and let it go.

  13. Haha I want this game so badly!

  14. They should turn making computer viruses a capital offense, first offense and you're executed. My computer was crippled for the last 2 hours thanks to a "Windows 7 Security 2012" Thankfully my brother knows everything there is about fixing computers and was able to get the bastard off my computer for me.

      There were trogans, several of them. I just re ran my antivirus on a full scan again to make sure there were no stragglers and there was still one left.

  15. I love Bill Cosby's old stand up. Listening to 200 mph right now. I miss his stand up, to ba he became a crazy beligerant old man. :/

  16. So close, I only need 80 more points for Nintendo Rewards to get either one of the game and watch collections or the hanafuda cards.

      I wish they would just put the actual Game & Watches back on the market for a retro thing. I'd definitely buy some!

    2. A_Locomotive

      A_Locomotive

      Sadly that will likely never happen since it would be such a limited market. :/

      Might as well buy the Ball G&W on ebay. It'd be much much cheaper.

  17. Just won a brand new copy of Rygar for the Lynx for $7.99. :D

  18. Listening to the awesome reissue of Sunn O)))'s album ØØ Void. Lucked out when I ordered, was able to get one of the first copies which comes with a bonus collaborative album with Nurse With Wound.

  19. Combing through a list of PC Engine games, trying to decide which to get, have a massive selection to sort through, I can't wait to complete this deal. C:

  20. Hope everyone enjoyed/is enjoying Thanksgiving! Got to see a bunch of cousins I haven't seen in a very long time. After eating we all sat down and played Donkey Kong Country. :)

  21. Ishido: The Way of the Stones any good? Thinking I want to add a game or two to my lynx library.

  22. Obi Strips bug the crap out of me. On the one hand they are almost always really cooly decorated and on the other they are freaking loose pieces of paper that are a pain in the ass to keep with the album unless they are in a sleeve together. Just got a new album with one and am debating just throwing the damn thing away.

    1. 20ohm20

      20ohm20

      Don't throw away the OBI if you ever plan on selling that album. I threw away some I had as a teenager which are now irreplaceable.

    2. A_Locomotive

      A_Locomotive

      Yeah I know it lowers their value. But it wasn't a very expensive album nor is it limited in anyway. Came out in 2003 and is still in print. I've kept all my Obi's for my limited print stuff since pretty much all of them came in a plastic sleeve to keep them together. This one came with a shrink wrap bag on it that should keep them together fairly well. I'm keeping the bag to protect the case since its colored and would be impossible to replace if it got damaged so I'll ke...

    3. A_Locomotive

      A_Locomotive

      ...ep it in the bag with it. I actually recently lost a good majority of my obi strips. I had them in a stack on my shelf and my cat some how managed to knock the entire stack into a glass of water destroying them. I think there was 30-40 strips total that got destroyed.

      I saw a guy who wanted 100 bucks for a "rare" Sega Genesis.

      Call and offer him $5 then listen to him lose his shit.

      If I had a 5200 I would, not gonna waste my time since even if he saw reason I couldn't play it. :P
