Topic: Your latest retro purchase

@WaveBoy7 Well of course if it's a clone system, they can't put the Nintendo logo on it or they'd be sued.

@WaveBoy7 @Ryno Yeah I got to see that system last year when at the Portland Retro Game Expo and it was indeed as awesome as you guys think. Definitely looking into getting that one.

And as always it's good to see you guys. I don't spend much time here neither, just something with this community doesn't click with me anymore. It just seems that NL has changed alot (community wise) the last few years and these newer members just annoying me more often then not. Now a days I spend most of my time over at Push Square.

Since I've last posted, I've gotten a Game Boy Advance SP, a reproduction cart of Terranigma, and Power Stone 2 on the Dreamcast.

My town's annual yard sale is coming up in a couple months, looking forward to that.

I recently bought Goof Troop on SNES and a Reproduction cart of Marvelous: Another Treasure Island (really wonderful game).

I currently have 2 SNES consoles (the original and the Mini, which was a recent purchase) and both have recently caused save data on my cartridges to be erased after the games did not turn on properly. I know there are many reasons why a SNES cart would lose data, but I'm wondering if a newer clone console i.e. Supaboy or Retron5 may solve this problem. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

@antipop621 It's probably not the console but the battery inside the cartridge itself. You can find videos on YouTube on how to replace them.

Just picked up thunder blade and cyborg hunter for the master system and feel the magic on ds.

Bit the bullet at Play Expo Margate last month and bought a copy of Terranigma for the SNES.

Also picked up Micro Machines Military for the Mega Drive but selling it on to a friend as it wasn't my cup of tea. Loved the toys though.

Does this count? I'm adding battery holders to my SNES carts

I'm guessing it's a reproduction; I'm the only one around here crazy enough to buy an english pal copy ($140 well spent)

@WaveBoy7
pretty good i guess, trying to take over the world as usual.

Pickup Azure Dreams for the gbc and super monkey ball touch and roll for the ds yesterday.

@Pianomanfreak how is monkey ball ds? I really enjoyed the fist two on the game cube.

@faint haven't really played it yet.

sorry about that

Some obscure Game Boy puzzle game Bubble Ghost.
According to youtube it can be finished in like 10 minutes but maybe that's just if you already know all the solutions? Probably spent more than I should to get it with manual but oh well.

Apparently it was originally a PC game with a creepier title ghost.

Not really a "purchase", but I went "dumpster diving" on my attic and found yet another NES game: Pin•Bot.

If only I had a working NES...

How come I find so many NES games but not a single SNES one. I wonder what happened to those.

Picked up transbot and global defense for the master system.
For the ds monkey ball touch and roll.

From a local store:
Pin-Bot for NES, Magi-Nation for GBC both loose
Wetrix for N64 and Burning Rangers (Japanese) for Saturn, both CIB
Haven't played the last one, hope it's something fairly playable without needing to pay the insane US version price.

Just picked up a bunch of nes carts
Bubble bobble
Festers quest
Section z
Platoon
Xevious
Rad racer
Dragon warrior
Tiger heli

Nice, Bubble Bobble.
Also, you check if your Dragon Warrior Cart says "thy hits" instead of "thy hit points". Speedrunners might be willing to trade you (or pay more) for that copy, as it saves a ton of time of speedruns.
