Topic: Your latest retro purchase

I got a Genesis model 3 with sonic 2 in case but no manual

@Fiyaball mmmm didn't know about this abnormality. Thanks for the heads up.

I'd think speedrunners would only count times when playing identical versions.
I know awhile ago the TAS community stopped counting it when people played Japanese versions of western released games solely for shorter cutscenes (as they consider the English (NTSC if available) the "primary" version and only allow others if there's significant changes between versions. But even then they'd count it separately.

@KingMike I'm not looking to trade with speed runners but it's nice to know if I have a less common variant.

Want to my local disc replay and got blue and grey official n64 controllers for $30,and SNES yoshi's island for $17. I also ordered a purple n64 controller on ebay ($17), so now I'll finally have 4 working N64 controllers.

@ogo79: Just chillin’ man, what is up with you?

@WaveBoy7: Tomorrow is moving day! Leaving the overcrowded suburbs for the small town country life. It will not be a commune but I will have a mini farm! That is crazy that you have so few games left but at least you got some classics. I remember back when I was buying retro games some people were saying that retro gaming was hitting its peak. Well, taking a look on eBay, I would say my retro collection is a pretty solid investment.

Thanks for advice on the Vizio for whenever I am in the mood to upgrade to 4K.

CAD sucks man, that stinks that it is so much more for you. I would try replying from your email receipt and see if you can cancel you order that way.

You could always just go for the $449.00 Analogue NT Mini!

My battery button mounts finally came in. Soldered them on last night. Couldn't be happier!

Went to my local Disc Replay and got 2 first party n64 controllers (blue/gray) for $30, and Yoshi's Island (Snes) for $17. Now, if only I can get my retron 5 to work...

@Ryno
trying to take over the world and trying to be a gentleman
the last one is very difficult for me, it makes me hurt inside.
i could be spending more time taking over the world than holding doors open and lighting candles over dinner. the only thing i do with candles is attack them with whips, this is getting way out of my character.

Not so much bought yet but next week I will have acquired copies of Baroque and Magna Carta for the PS2.

I usually buy my retro games after the 15th of each month so I have too many to count. But my most recent purchase was a copy of Shantae from the US

How much was it? My sister almost bought one for $200 once, but the 3ds VC version was coming out next week.

@Fiyaball I spent £400 on Shantae. While extremely pricey, it will be a cornerstone of my collection and a game I personally love. Also I had to import which ramped up the price by £100.

Well worth it for my favourite Genie (Aladdin's genie, I prefer Shantae )

Sonic CD was my latest retro purchase but I bought the steam version for it so...lol

@Grandpa_Pixel 500 bucks is quite a bit of cash for one game. Is it sealed?

@faint Sadly it would have been another $300 for a boxed. And god knows how much for a sealed.

Shantae is getting more and more expensive. Soon it will be impossible to justify the cost. The only reason I did is I really like the franchise

Saved this guy, $20 shipped. Took out the board, cleaned it up, replaced the battery and put it in my JP Yoshi's Island shell for my SFC.

Also picked up a non glob Starfox cart

And finally a horrible looking SNES controller for cheap to use for parts.

Only thing i've gotten recently is:

Star Wars Jedi Arena (CIB)(2600) - On my current list of random/sporadic 2600 collecting is CIB copies of the Star Wars games for 2600. I only have this one and Empire Strikes Back so far; Death Star Battle and The Arcade Game are a bit harder to find CIB at a good price, but they'll be gotten soon enough.

However, on Saturday there is a small retro convention in my hometown (the glorious Rockville Centre) at the same hotel that i used to go to for monthly comic book conventions back in the late 80s (ironically, when many of the games that will be there this weekend were new). I will be hitting it up with a fat wad of cash and hoping to get some good pickups, so stay tuned!

Got a copy of Might & Magic: Gates to Another World for the Genesis. Didn't realize there was a Might & Magic game for the Genny. Guess I'll give it a spin while I wait for Hyper Light Drifter to download...
