Topic: Your latest retro purchase

@ReaderRagfish
dont forget to leave me positive feedback

@ReaderRagfish
no returns,
thank you come again.

@ogo79 Prepared for the new year by ordering a copy of Outrun 2019, though the graphics seem to have reduced in quality from Outrun 2006. This new one feels like a Genesis game.

Played some Volfied on MAME (eh, I'll say owning a Taito collection somewhere is close enough to owning that) and then I remembered Classic Game Room's review of the Genesis version Ultimate Qix, and especially it's soundtrack and decided I had to buy the game as well. WHOOOOOWHOOOOWHOOOOWHOOO

@KingMike
i am not responsible for quality control over my games/systems.
im not paying anyone anything to make sure my products actually work.
this is america

Decided to hit my local game store to celebrate my birthday, and ended up paying $100 for Contra Hard Corps, Trouble Shooter, and Mega Man 6. They had Mega Man 7 for $160, but I need an actual job before I'm able to throw around that much for one game.

@Fiyaball Woah, those games must've gotten quite spendy.
I've learned to not even think about getting Trouble Shooter's Japanese sequel legitimately. That was like $150 loose when I looked last, and Japanese MD prices have only gotten more frightening each time I've checked.

@ogo79 I was thinking about a particular building around me where the floors were Floor "1", "2", "2A" and "3". "Floor 2A"? I now wondered... did Capcom design that building? Where's Floor 2 Super Turbo Champion Edition X?

Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 Remix collection. Idk if it's considered retro or not.

...we uh...kinda redesigned that building...

I bought mortal kombat trilogy and duke nukem time to kill for ps1. Also dragon ball Z budokai 3, jak and daxter: the precursor legacy and wipeout fusion for ps2. Last but not least I replaced my psp and it came with lumines, puyo puyo fever, ace combat X skies of deception, syphon filter dark mirror and... passport to barcelona XD.

Now That I have a working psp again I can finally finish symphony of the night in the dracula X chronicles.

just bought a gameboy pocket now i just need to either try and find my old games or buy them again

@ReaderRagfish same although i am considering getting a different shell for mine

A nicely looking complete Shenmue for Dreamcast, a game I was after since 2006 give or take.

@RETRO_J love Banjo games, so much fun! We need a Banjo on the Switch

I am thinking of setting up a business, which will re-condition NES games. Do you all think that people would purchase, for example: a special edition legend of zelda, with original PCB, professionally replaced battery, new 24 carrot gold electroplated NES shell, wooden foam lined presentation case and reproduction instruction book and map? It would look the business, but likely need to sell for around £350. Not sure if the market would be big enough? I will also sell cheaper reconditioned games, with original PCB's and new shells, labels, box, instructions etc for much less.

So you want to sell a loose Zelda with bootleg box and manual for hundreds of dollars essentially?

Not bootleg. Original Zelda PCB, taken from a used donor game. Battery replaced professionally, and everything else as per my post. It is essentially a re-conditioning (and then some) of the original game. No boot leg whatsoever. I think it would make a nice present. I know that games like Earthbound (with a custom shell) from rose colored gaming sold for $150. Mine would be actual gold.

Got a cheap PS2 Slim to play some KH and Katamari, but the disc reader is sounding a bit too loud for me...

Speaking about Retro games, before i buy, i want to ask which is Better.

I want to play Famicom, SNES & GBA games on either SupaBoy SFC or Retro Duo Portable.
Which machine can play Famicom & GBA (With Adapter) in Handheld Mode ?

Hello fellow gamers.

May I interest you in any discount coupons?
