there's some more stuff he knows he has but couldn't find, makes me wonder how much his room represented a Super Potato store.
So my friend Yuki from before was back in Texas for a while and dug around at his parents' place, and tells me to come over because he found "the shoebox":
Full spread:
Holy shit. I'm gonna miss him (he's already on his way back to Japan) but I've been playing the hell out of the games he gave me before, now I'll be playing even more.
I think the first game I'm gonna play is Ikki, just to be ironic.
I really oughta set up FDSLoadr, I told him that there's basically an "elaborate R4 equivalent for the FDS" and he was really glad I'd be using the disk system in some capacity. Still gotta replace the belt on it...
Also got two PVM 2950Q monitors recently, bought one with burn-in then another popped up without any, each was $40. The burned-in one is going to a technically inclined retrogaming friend of mine from out of town, the hassle of ending up with one extra is gonna be worth dragging him out of his home to come get it and visit me :)
Nice deal
I think I have you to blame Dan for starting my fascination with the famicom:eek:
I have picked up original Famicom and an FDS since you last posted your Famicom finds I just love those crazy color carts and how some games have additional sound programming over the NES. I love that thing
FC carts are kooky, I don't think doing your own shape and color for cartridges at will would work for much else than an old 8 bit system.
You're not the first preson I've made want to get random retrogaming stuff. I have a friend who got bitten by the retrogaming bug hard, once he saw some of the stuff I had. Thing is this guy tends to be kinda indecisive (for example buys/sells PS3s and 360s all the time since he can't decide if he wants either/both/neither) and I felt a bit of blame for seeing random old consoles join his rotation of stuff he bought and then wanted to sell.
Hopefully soon, I'll throw some wall shelves and some random IKEA stuff into the gameroom, and will have an entire (small) room to post pictures of.
Of course, Wico is long gone and ALL officially US-manufactured parts are long out-of-print -- hence, collector status and very short supply among parts vendors --, BUT Paradise Arcade Shop does have the old Wico red balltop handle in production. It's 38mm diameter with a different thread than Japanese balltops but they do sell it with an adaptor compatible with Seimitsu and Sanwa joysticks. (Your red "Wico" plastic may vary from the Seimitsu and Sanwa shades!)
Just sayin'.
Oh, and long, long ago I had TWO Wico joysticks that were made for the Atari systems way back in the early 1980s. I had the bat handle and the "Famous Red Ball" joysticks. Back then, I preferred the ball handle, too.
And yes, those Wico joysticks ARE stiff.
You know they're going to the cemetery when they get as loose as a Sanwa JLF. These are NOT supposed to be the loosest joysticks ever made!
Recent buys (electronic) -- X-Mas Gifts =>
PS2 - Samurai Shodown Anthology (US)... I was NOT going to go a third year skipping this title because of the fluctuating prices on NEW condition discs;
PS3 - Lollipop Chainsaw, Super Street Fighter IV AE, Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, and Persona 4 Arena.
Very good deals... All 5 for around $100, new condition.
BlazBlue CE and AquaPazza are definitely on the queque for the future along with SF vs Tekken.
Lots of flightsims slated for buying, too. I have to have multiple reasons (more than 3 games) to justify getting the Hori PS3 Flight Stick! (And there are at least 2-3 good WWII games this generation plus 2-3 decent jet fighter games.)
Game prices were around $15-$20 cheaper on average online than I would have paid in-store except Samurai Shodown. I've NEVER seen that title in-store and I always had a feeling that distribution on it was spotty. Heck, I spotted the God Hand and Star Trek Encounters games in-store but NEVER saw SSA in any game store in my area.

Oh, okay then. I was just making sure they're supposed to be like that out of the box. In that case, I'll leave them be until I can find a proper use for them..
For any one who has Soul Caliber V they need to go to Gamestop and pick up the Official Hardback Strategy its Huge awesome very very detailed everyone on Amazon gave it 5 stars saying it was almost too much info.That's with them paying retail at 24.99
I one up you with a purchase of this guide from Gamestop for $2.49 only. :)
And I traded by copy of The Adventures of Sophitia's spoiled children err I mean Soul Calibur IV to Game Stop.
And that should let you know what I think of that terrible game, only other fighting game I ever sold or traded off was Super Street Fighter IV (because I got Arcade Edition) and Brutal Paws of Fury (cause it sucks liek SC 4 did).
Soul Calibur IV still has Sophitia and Cassandra in it. I guess I don't get the comment about "spoiled" children in SC IV since they weren't in that game. Besides, it was the "Jedi" game... ( = Aargh. The last few Star Wars games haven't been great aside from the great Lego series and the two Rogue Squadron games on the GameCube.)
I've only played SC V a time or two since I got it but if anything SC IV is truer to the series than SC V. SC V feels... weird. Just like SF III did. Without more of the familiar cast from the past entries in the series, it feels like going back to your high school 5-10 years later with everybody else from your graduating class moved away from town.
To be honest, the last really good SC game was probably 2... (I went with the "Link" edition. Didn't own a PS2 at the time and am not crazy about the Tekken series.) The only reasons I kept interested as long as I did in SC III and SC IV was because of character customization. Aside from the sidequest games in the first two SC games, I've never felt that the SC series was the deepest fighting game series.
Picked up Sony brand component cables for PS2 at my local GameStop for $5.77. I was about to spend $18 for the shitty GameStop brand component cables then checked the other side of the display where they put the used accessories and found the Sony cables.

Those would be really nice to find, right now all I got is a Monoprice 3 in one cable.
Though I've been lurking here for awhile, this will be my first post and I can swear I've seen this thread before. However, I couldn't find it, so I'll have to earn a knowledgeable moderator's ire from the get-go.
I bought my SFxT TE stick on craigslist a few weeks ago from a guy who bought it, used it 5 times, and wanted to let it go for half price. For some reason, I still make my rounds to the manufacturer and retailer websites because I guess deal hunting was too much fun.
I know that getting into this community is a bit steep, especially since the flagship controller (MCZ TE) is a staggering $160, so I wanted to share my prowlings with those of you out there debating buying a stick. Trust me, these deals only come around every few months, so unless you want to wait for some of the other majors this spring or EVO, I'd look into these bargains.
Effective 01/27, 12PM EST: Newegg.com:
MCZ SC5 Soul Edition- $80 (Currently Out of Stock)
HORI DoA5- $100 (In stock, ends 01/28)
Most MCZ pads- $20
Thengeance, the Madcatz/Gameshark site has more than just those two sticks. Also has the MLG stick, SFxT PRO and VS.
Personally, I had no idea the difference between those madcatz sticks, so i saw the buttons were more curved on the SCV one (and i liked the picture better) so i bought that one. hopefully thats a dependable stick .xD
I apologize for mass amounts of ignorance and stupidity in the preceding post.
PSN: KlawwG hit me up anytime. :3
Just came in today, gonna get wrapped in another layer of bubble wrap and back into the box she goes. Gonna look into getting an acrylic display case thing for it. Very happy this came in.

Posted this in the COMNAS thread sorta by mistake, so reposting here because excited.
Hori V3, scratched silk screening, Sanwa Black OBSF 30s and a black balltop for £22 shipped on ebay. Stuck in some Dark Hais, a JLF and some carbon fibre vinyl. This is a very comfortable stick, needs a bit more weight but size and layout are perfect.
