RegularGuyGamer | 2,019 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) I got this at an auction my neighbor was working. They had a ton of commodore & classic computer stuff. 2 CBM 8032, a 4040, Apple II, serval c64/128 consoles. But the second an Atari 2600, untested with no power supply went for $90 I knew I wasn't going to get anything without paying price. Everything was untested, not even for power and it was going for big numbers. The 8032s went for $300 each. Mind you, I personally live beside one of the people hosting the auction who told me nothing was tested at all and there are absolutely not returns for any reason. Anyway, I threw a bid down on a Commodore 1702 with a C64 without a power supply for $50 and no one even counter bid! Took it home and it fired right up! This has been something I've been looking for forever, literally a decade. I tried to win some CIB before COVID hit bc shipping TVs is such a gamble. Anyway, here it is. Now I just have to fit it into my setup... Just trying it out Foreal tho. Edited November 22, 2023 by RegularGuyGamer 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avatar! | 1,831 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 iam8bit is having a big sale, and I splurged and got this -- Overall, this is one of the most unique and beautiful collector's editions I have ever seen! It comes with the game for Switch including the DLC all on cartridge But, the real star is the marionette which is hand-made and beautiful -- https://www.marionettes-rici.com/en/ That said, wow, it was a pain in the rear to set-up! They do have a video which makes things look easy -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWjHv9D-rg8 But, it was not easy. The numerous strings got entwined and it was a bit of a disaster. At the end, I did a bit of finagling to get it to work. I honestly think, they should have just sent the marionette not strung, this would have been so much easier! I imagine the vast majority of people just want to display it, and it looks great. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renmauzo | 1,205 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 3 packages showed up today, one from LR, one from VGP, and the last from my box in the US. I ordered the LR stuff so long ago, I'd forgotten all about them. I'm a sucker for the shadow boxes >_>...and the STGs, lol. I'm really curious about this new version of Super Mario RPG, but I'll have to save that one for later...too many other games on the go right now. I finally found a fully complete Firepower 2000, and for a good price. Midnight Resistance and Q Billion go to show that patience pays off because I got each one for a song after biding my time over the past 2 years. 2 Genesis and 4 SNES (and 1 SFC) games to go before I'm done with those systems! Good look out there, everyone! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyree_Cooper | 777 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 at least the japanese release copies the sfc boxart straight up lels. i guess for the outside of japan markets they wanted to keep the spirit, but also make it more modern? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankos | 467 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Just picked these up. I've wanted a copy of Trip World to play for a while (not an Aliexpress repro, those are made of paper mache and smashed up pachinko machines), so this was pretty cool to see drop. The flashcart is also kinda neat, though sadly this just has the default blank ROM on it, and I don't have a machine that can reflash it. It's got a switch at the top, something pretty unusual for Gameboy carts. The switch appears to be for toggling the memory bank controller, which is something I haven't seen any other flashcarts use 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it was a collaboration between Nintendo and Square, my only guess is that Square did all of the production and designs while Nintendo did the publishing. Next thing I know is that you guys did not know that Samus Aran has a cameo appearance in the game (click here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyree_Cooper | 777 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 wohhhh i got a great price on this. this was only sold with the limited/complete box in japan. someone kept the rest and didnt care about the soundtrack so i snagged it. if someone wants to outer fake-carboard box, i will be listing up for cheap soon. this is 5 cd of capcom arcade ost. they are just reprints of existing albums but it's a very nice set, i especially like the king of dragons. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect it as the SFC but I honestly thought that was a fan mock up. Good for them for squeezing every penny out of nostalgia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so that is not the official box art for the jpn release for the Switch as far as I can tell. https://www.play-asia.com/search/Super+Mario+RPG#fc=prc:1.0000000000 Edited November 26, 2023 by RegularGuyGamer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackVega | 583 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) This is some stuff I just got recently: Power Glove CIB Famicom version PC-98 notebook- now this unit doesn't work but this is no surprise as many of them don't work after such a long time. Maybe it is repairable and this is sometimes successful Some SCSI connected CD-ROMs for retro computers- bought as tested and working and let's hope they are- testing them soon Edited November 27, 2023 by BlackVega 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyree_Cooper | 777 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 The screen looks done for... Not really the same but I keep my dad's Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 in amazing condition. Was his travel pc when it was top of the line. Great stuff with top speakers, cd rom and floppy. Put win 95 on it and you are back to dos and early windows gaming just right. Its currently running xp with no issues! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
