That's everything I got recently. Still waiting for the pocket to come in. I'm replaying Pokemon Crystal right now but I think I'll be finished everything before the Pocket gets here. We'll see. If I go for a complete dex then I guess I'll get to play some of it on the pocket.

>Shin Shinobiden (Saturn)
>Saturn Bomberman
>Saturn Bomberman Fight!!

This thread died fast

>>10304084
I didn't expect it to live for long when I made it but damn only 7 replies is sad. Oh well, it can't be helped.

>>10304084
>>10304089

>or no one here really plays games

Recent killer finds
>boxed TI-99 4/A for $30
>Apple IIGS with a fully loaded GS RAM Plus, $220
Also with that
>MGS3 Subsistence, $5
>CS extended battery for my DSi, somewhere around $25

>>10304112
>boxed TI-99 4/A for $30
These are commonly found as TI had boatloads of unsold stock and nobody gave a shit about the computers so many are NOS that were used little or not at all.

>>10304105
>or no one here really plays games
Either that or everyone is afraid to post because they don't want to be seen as a collectorfag. If it's the latter, just remember that nobody cares unless you only buy shit for the sake of buying it or as an investment.

>>10304119
you make decent points.

>>10304115
them and Timex Sinclair 1000s

Buyee weebshit has been super cheap lately:
Really recent:
Msx2: in box
Wochenrider: some Saturn game with the dude from King crimson and the artists who designed lain
Roomania 208
Baroque guidebook
Semi recent:
Xbox clear(japanese)
Otogi
Spikeout battlestreet
Nude in box
Panzer dragoon orta
JSRF
Ninja gaiden black

Im going to get the carnivore flash cart because the game i want is a little to expensive and the emulation doesn't work on my machine for some reason.

>>10304112
>TI-99 4/A
It looks neat but what can you do with it in 2023? Does it have any games that are worth checking out?
>>10304119
There are two types of users on this board:
>Collectorfags
>Those who want to be collectorfags but don't have either the space or the money to be collectorfags
>>10304128
Please stop importing
>carnivore flash cart
What's that?

I picked up two CRTs off the side of the road recently
They are both 20" Panasonics with built in VCRs, white plastic. They only have composite input but they look pretty nice.

They will both go to different friends of mine who each want a CRT and don't really care about S-Video/Component.

>>10304210
>built in VCRs
>white plastic
>only have composite input
They sound perfect. I don't know why anyone would want to use anything besides composite anyway. Everybody used composite back in the day.

well I bought it three years ago but just got the setup working today

How so, Dr. Dipshit
>Please stop importing!
Importing will never vanish entirely, dear Berne Convention simpcuck!

>>10304246
impressive. very nice.

>>10304256
Please never stop importing! And if you're not already importing a massive collection for the sega saturn, Please start!

>>10304256
>How so, Dr. Dipshit
Type 1 is people who have collections. Type 2 is people who want collections but either don't have the space or don't have the money so they cope about it and shit on people who do have collections.
>>10304259
Please stop.

>>10304291
I will continue to purchase sega saturn imports from BOTH the US and Japan itself, especially sealed games that are surprisingly very cheaply priced.
I will own what i want, and i will be happy.

Gundam vs Zeta Gundam PS2 and loose Turok 1 and 2 carts for N64. Quite happy with all three games. Few months back I bought a nice little Famiclone as well as a loose copy of Blaster Master NES. Hoping to get cheap copies of MK1 (SNES or Gen), 2 (SNES), Trilogy (N64) and Monster Hunter (PS2).

>>10304550
Is the original blaster master good? I've only played Zero.

>>10304592
I played a rom long, long ago and while I don't really remember anything of it, I liked it enough I bought a copy recently. If that helps. I need a NES to Famicom cart converter, sadly.

>>10304210
you fuckin bitch kek
i paid $100 for that white panasonic last year

>>10304592
one of my favorites as a kid
i used to let the intro music run just so i could rock out in my room

>>10304592
It's a classic.

>>10304210
thats a sought after model anon, you did well.


i havent bought much hardware lately. i did grab a copy of mario 3 nes from a guy for $15.

>>10304084
One could watch the slow decline in these threads over the years, because of prices I suppose
For me personally, I got basically everything I wanted already so I'm just not buying anything anymore
I still come to these threads to see what other people are doing

>>10304119
I love these threads im just trying to buy a house, recently got married and we’re really focusing on removing any unnecessary expenses for as long as possible. I’m emulating whatever i don’t have until further notice unfortunately. I love these threads though, I fell down the absolute fucking rabbit hole of YouTubers who repair and restore these micros and just /vr/ stuff, it’s crazy how many of them there are it’s a whole community basically. You think I’d get tired of watching people continuity test and resolder speccys but here we are.

>>10304084
I've just gotten sick of the greedy scalpers. Occasionally I will find games in a charity shop/thrift store or something, but I'm not encouraging people who want an exorbitant amount of money for a 10 hour game.

Luckily I have enough in my collection to last me a lifetime. I was thinking of just modding some of my consoles too.

>>10305190
>Just trying to buy a house

Good luck on that. Buying a house in 202x is a fucked scenario

>>10305190
>removing any unnecessary expenses for as long as possible.
Like payments on a high interest negative equity mortgage?

FINALLY snagged a copy of Outrun for Saturn at a sort of reasonable price.

Bought:

** Atari 400 comp
** The Atari tape cassette reader
** A bunch of cassette games (one might be word proc?)
** Basic cartridge

Best part is that the comp has a real keyboard, not membrane keyboard which was common for Atari 400.

>>10309105
>Atari 400 with real keyboard

That sounds cool as fuck, is it a mod or some rare variant? Also could we see a pic?

>>10304246
Ohh now this is actually legit cool

Haven't been able to buy anything cool because I'm in college and don't have the space or money. Left my collection back home and just brought my consoles and flashcarts so I could still play most of my collection.
Sorry anon, shit's just been dry for me.
