I got both Legend of Xanadu games and both Tenshi no Uta games
Tenshi no Uta apparently also has a final game on Super Famicom but I don't have that yet

I'll give this a bump.

Found these last weekend for a total of $20. The micro was missing it's charger, battery cover, and it wasn't turning on but I figured I'd take the chance for $5

[Anonymous No.4421248]

Rate?

Oh, forgot to mention that I found a charger and got it to work so that's pretty sweet.

I've been wanting to try Black, but I've never found it in the wild. And, sorry, but not retro.

[Anonymous No.4421262]

>>4418314
Be sure the cable is actually SCART, not JP21. The two use the same plug but are wired differently and are not interchangable.

MODDDDDS

[Anonymous No.4424773]

I bought a copy of Sylviana for FDS off Yahoo auctions, and the photo and description made it look like it didn't come with the outer case, only the disk case and instruction manual. So I was thinking I'd need something to hold it together and picked up a handful of these Famicom disk travel cases separately.
But then it turned out Sylviana came with the outer case after all.

[Anonymous No.4424779]

>>4424773
Still kind of a neat collector's item I guess.

[Anonymous No.4424849]

I didn't make the photo for this thread so please disregard stuff for my dick, and non retro games.

The artist who did the Japanese covers for 2 and 4 is really good. Love the style.

[Anonymous No.4428641]

got ONI II for gameboy, my only gameboy game this month
I got some Saturn, PS, and Dreamcast games but I'll take photos of those later

[Anonymous No.4429567]

>>4426612
I've got the original and was wondering if it's worth getting - I was curious what extra content there was (In any case, it's awesome that it's actually available again).

[Anonymous No.4429571]

>>4429567
Ok, didn't refresh and noticed you'd posted pics - sorry! thanks for posting the pics!

>>4428641
Nice! I just got a copy of that recently too.

>rogue squadron
That reminds me, Rebels semi-canonized World Devastators recently. Same general form and function but they’re called Ore Crawlers now. It’s fun watching the show just to see echoes of the old EU pop-up from time to time.
>>4421245
And that’s a damn good chance to take, I bought a white Wii in similar condition for $7 not too long ago except it turned on just fine.

It's been a damn while since I've played the Syphon Filter games, but I kinda feel like everything after 1 wasn't that great.

Is grabbing a Saturn worth it? I don't really know what are its best titles, but that Deep Fear game looks pretty cool.

[Anonymous No.4429661]

>>4429595
very worth it! it typically has the best arcade ports and is just a very interesting console in general, for the cheapest and most straightforward way to get into saturn is to buy a japanese model, you dont have to buy japanese games if you cant read/understand japanese, but they are the cheapest models to buy, and it is crucial to get the action replay 4m plus, because that lets you bypass region coding, so with your very cheap jap saturn you can play american versions!!

if you are a fan of resident evil, know that the saturn version is the definitive version with the most content, and so much addition stuff not included in any other version.

the saturn has some of the best shmups on any console.

i recommend these titles for you to check out:

quake, resident evil, deep fear, myst, solar eclipse, UKM3, area 51, strikers 1945, iron storm, gungriffon, deadalus, AMOK, Dragon force, Shining the holy ark, Command and conquer, Alien trilogy, Crusader: no remorse, Ghen wars, Black dawn, Wing arms Thunderstrike 2, mobile suit gundam trilogy, battle garegga

oops, a few spelling errors, anyways, cant belive i left out baroque!! im not even a fan of jrpgs or rogue games but baroque caught my eye, being very cheap (< $20USD) and its atmosphere, the game is very addicting to play. i cant understand the story, but man, just watch a walkthrough of the saturn version online...very cool game. reminds me of a post-apocalyptic DUNE world.

[Anonymous No.4429672]

>>4429661
>it is crutial to get the action replay 4m plus
About how much does that run? I almost wonder if it would just be cheaper (and more fun)to solder on a mod chip for it.

[Anonymous No.4429747]

>>4429672
30 dollars

you can get a jap sat for that much, so both the jap sat and the action replay 4m plus you get the whole package for the amount a US sat costs.

i wish i had known this before i dropped 80 dollars on a US sat, at the time i didnt find out about those 3 games you see in my pic, so i didnt think i'd be using the 4m plus. literally a week later i saw baroque and jap tittie simulator 1996 edition. man did i facepalm hard...then something else got hard...

[Anonymous No.4429775]

>>4429747
That's not bad, and apparently cheaper and easier to find than a Saturn modchip ($40-$60). Is there anything special you have to do to it or is it pretty much plug and play?

[Anonymous No.4429927]

>>4429775
plug in and play

you wont regret it. guaranteed

[Anonymous No.4430019]

How hard is it to play that game without knowing Japanese? It looks up my alley.

As far as I can tell, there's nothing new in it. (No mention of anything new on the Fukkan website description. http://www.fukkan.com/fk/CartSearchDetail?i_no=68326145

Just now went to the post and picked a box with these babies in. I don't know what Great Football is doing in there, but I'm gonna guess no one else wanted to pay for it either and I got it as a bonus. Thanks, guy!
It'll make for a nice doorstop

Oh damn, you got one without a 10,000 year patina of cigarette smoke and skin oils.

I managed to snag a complete copy of Tomba 2 for $40.
The disc needs buffing, badly, but it runs ok in my PS1, and a disc-to-image repair shows the disc is the same except for the main executable and version file (later release, I believe)

I never could beat The Ninja when I was a kid

[Anonymous No.4434113]

>>4431220
i have no idea since i never played kings field. its a good game, i can tell you that, its first person dark souls in a post-nuclear-fucked up mutated DUNE. you fight floating fish monsters for the first 20 minutes. you must die to progress the story in some parts. its a giant tower you must descend and you have limited health thats always very slowly draining, and you get a gun with 5 shots that one hit kill enemies, you are supposed to save it for tough areas/last parts of the game. you lose all items upon death but you have the option to leave behind some items for a next playthrough. its atmosphere is enough to buy the game. the opening area is large and fun to explore, i sunk an hour into it when i just wanted to test it out and see if it works. really fun game. very cheap. i cant understand the story but i dont care much for it as the gameplay is great on its own, and i got to level 4 pretty easily. (there are 13 levels of the big tower you must go down for some reason, and thats how you beat the game, getting to level 13.) dying at certain parts of the game apparently let you unlock certain doors or unlock dialogue options for all the characters at the beginning area

Some more PC Engine RPGs

[Anonymous No.4438492]

I got this from a thrift store, eight 5.25 floppy discs, dial a pirate, IBM reference card, booklet, and vol 1:1 of The Aventurer. It was stacked in with kids board games...
I havent seen the 5.25 floppy version before, any idea what it's worth or a forum where I could ask?
Cheers.

ok here's the Saturn and Dreamcast
I passed on Doukyuusei Mahjong back when it came out despite being a huge Doukyuusei fan, partly because I wasn't sold on the new character design, and partly because it's fucking mahjong. But now 20 years later I've decided to learn mahjong so here we are.
Gulliver Boy seems to mostly come up on /vr/ in PC Engine threads but the Saturn version looks to be a direct port with some minor upgrades so went with that.

Among some other things, got the last Cosmic Fantasy doujin fanbook that I was missing, the first storyboard book. The creator of the series sold these on his site years ago; they're good stuff if you like the series / weeb shit.

so much NTSC-JP love in this thread!


not really recent but last years AES pick ups.

[Anonymous No.4445441]

Just bought J. League Victory Goal '97 for the Saturn. Seems fun, but I can't read the Japanese and there are no manuals anywhere online. I think I understand the controls at least.
