Very nice stuff though I don't reall recognize those 2 Switch games the art looks interesting. I bet that Wii game could either be fun or frustrating so I really do need to see what's on there. That said, love to find DQ4 DS again sometime, still my favorite. Feeling like I should explain myself then! DQ9 and Ultimate Shooting Collection were via @Richard Kimmel, been wanting those for my collection for a while. Ultimate Shooting Collection is a compilation of 3 shmups: Chaos Field (the one that was on GameCube), Radio Allergy and Karous. None of these are Ikaruga-tier but who cares. The Play-Asia titles are Gigantic Army (a run-n-gun style game with mechs) and Ninja JajaMaru collection (which has a new game in this series as well as ports of the previous entries). I think this is the first Ninja JajaMaru game to be localized in English in physical form (some of these games have appeared on virtual console before). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, when you change the channels it sounds like a grenade just exploded, I miss that sound I forgot how much suck is contained in the NES Cabal cartridge...such fond memories of the arcade version though I had to try it again, meh....pass... Nothing more visceral than changing the channel and feeling it in your chest :P. Change the channels rapidly and piss off every grown up in ear shot!

Galdius | 1,514 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Well, I got something that I wanted for a long time: a MVS arcade cabinet. This one is also ready to play CPS2 games. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is also ready to play CPS2 games. Welcome to the club. Are you planning on changing anything with it to make it more stock or leaving it be? It looks like a normal cabinet, but someone swapped out the CPO area with a street fighter style layout and just a black top instead of the candy cane stripes stripes it's known for. Either it was refreshed or (like my 2 slot) the previous owner kept amazing care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will probably put a sticker with the candy cane stripes and I also want to change the buttons for better ones. The owner took amazing care of it. It's in amazing condition considering how old it is. It could be better, of course, but it's amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner took amazing care of it. It's in amazing condition considering how old it is. It could be better, of course, but it's amazing. Sounds good, but I'd be wary of stickers. I wish I had the link, but I do know there are people who make repop or still sell original CPO for the big red you have there. The repop though can be aligned to have added buttons such as yours because in the end the NG is just a lightly off spec JAMMA setup, so if you did a little tweaking internally you could effectively stuff popular fighters like the SF2 franchise in that setup and it would be of use then. IF you choose though to go stock neo geo, you'd need to replace the entire plate, or just get a CPO that's got the cuts for your 4 buttons and leave the other two just covered up so the holes aren't seen. I would not go with a sticker, the repop thing is the similar style riveted down piece of plastic so it lasts and take the beating hands make on those things as stickers rapidly fade and rub off. The site is dead, but it can pop up from using the web archive, HARD MVS had some great stuff to look into which was at:http://www.hardmvs.com/index.htm Also to get a good taste of the system, get the cheapo 161in1, see the list here:https://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/MVS_Multicart THough if you do, see about sourcing a couple caps to fix the audio problem, I need to do it on mine, but that one cart, dupes aside, gets you most of the MVS library. If you ever buy games, use this to verify legit boards: https://www.mvs-scans.com/index.php/Main_Page This won't fit you without a new drilling for the buttons, but this is what I'm talking about for a new CPO, it's cheap. https://www.arcadeoverlays.com/neo-geo-mvs-control-panel-overlay/ If you need more help, two pieces of advice. Facebook Neo Geo For Life 100% excellent source for help, tips, parts, games, whatever. 100% avoid neo-geo forums as they're as awful and vile as the stories you can find online say so unless you are a masochist into being abused and enjoy it, just don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galdius | 1,514 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 @Tanookimy biggest problem is finding those things here in Brazil. As for the games, luckily we have a lot of available games here since the MVS was really popular so finding original games isn't hard but it's always good to know how to verify them. And my lastest pickup is a sealed Ghostbusters 2 for the Phantom System (NES clone made by Gradiente in Brazil). i don't think this one is very rare since I found a few available on Mercado Livre. It's probably an old stock found somewhere. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californication | 1,477 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Biggest surprise - Super Nova is a top 5 SNES shoot-em-up for me. The enemy patterns, music, difficulty, the weapons seem diverse and solid, and you really have to earn them. Biggest dissapointment - Battle Princess Madelyn. Tbh I turned it off after about 10 min. the music was so annoying I couldn't really play the game. Also when you die it restarts you in the same place with I think unlimited lives.

TrekMD | 1,408 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I finally assembled these boxes. I have all the games but they did not have standard boxes. They came in CD cases or flimsy plastic cases. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got Sin & Punishment and Bangaioh here so I keep the adapter around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,934 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Recently tracked down both vol1&2 of that book for the set. A whole lost five year mission between the first two trek movies. Then I got a complete and basically minty PCE Macross 2036 there which I’ve not had since the earlier 2000s. Good times. I’ll have more in the coming days or week depends. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
