Damn kids with your... old games...

 

You only understand games that we let you run your simulation on. So get back to work you CS Go bot!

Here's some old pics of the Castlevania collection. Sold off LoS and Judgement, but the rest of still there: 

I spot a flaw in this collection, where's the arcade board 

(don't take that jab seriously, that is one amazing collection).

Suikoden. This one hasn't changed in years, thanks to those fuckwads at Konami: 

There was 1 psp game as well (***k konami for no localization, can't find much on a completed fan patch atm)

Metroid Metroid Metroid (3ds)

sometimes I feel like I missed a powerup I should have already but missed. It did happen onetime where I was missing the spring ball for a sizable amount of time. -.-

Ooo photos later but surprise package today. Surprise in mostly that today everything is closed due to holiday landing on Sunday (July 1st for Canada day) So I did not expect any packages today.

I got 5 neo cd games in but 3 are dups to what I have (the set was 980y before shipping and proxy fees). The non dups I keep are kof 94 and real bout ff. The dups are fatal fury 3, Sam sho 2 & 3. I’ll probably offload the dups to a local retro store. 

My neo cd collection is starting to get big, I’m at 17 games so far yet there is still so much I don’t have.

Lol that url, ice.gov/best

Yeah don’t collapse retro, I feel it has less to do with general game chat. We end up talking more about pickups and what we have then the games it self.

So here is my retro setup. I more try to keep my collection clean and out of sight. I tend to play HD stuff in the bedroom where the HD tv is.

I tend to keep the systems i'm not playing stored away in their box to keep them from getting dusty/faded (I caught my jpn n64 starting to yellow last time I left it out). Also since I try to keep my games grouped in plastic bins, I tend to take what i'm not touching down to my locker (so much of my ps3/ps2/psp/ds/xbox/saturn collection is kept there). I'll post photos of the rest later if there is interest. =P

I couldn't possibly afford this or even have the space for it but this would be a dream come true item I would LOVE!!!

 

$2,489.89

That is way too expensive for what it's worth. You're best buying up an old cocktail cab on ebay and restoring it. It would be far more rewarding and a hell of a lot cheaper.

I would love an Astro or other candy cabinet

 Jpn Candy cabs are the best...

 My wife keeps pestering me to sell mine since it sits in storage unused. It sits there because I need to work on it and don't have the time atm.

All the talk of Sega Mickey games recently made me decide to play my Castle/Land of Illusion games. I never really played these two back to back before but Land is a lot more polished then I remembered. I also played Moon Walker and bunch of other MS games afterwards. 

I kind of suck at mini series collections. I always want to do it but end up not following through 2/3 of the way through. =/

yeah as noted the international version is the black/grey unit. I'm sure someone will figure out how to hack the damn thing if you want the jpn one.

On a side note I came to my senses and canceled my preorder because I've gotten too many other things recently and need to scale back again. Plus I still want to one day build a mini table top cabinet instead and that will be far more worth having.

Surely if the protester had a gun then then the guy who pulled a gun on him would have been more courteous.

Good gets, I got both (and many others) on recommendation from castlevaniaNut18

Nice. all this master system love is making me want to boot up my system.

@CastlevaniaNut18 you should finish off the trilogy and pick up Legend of Illusion

Can we buy him and make him the boards mascot ？

so I've taken a dark turn. I feel like this is an old gamer's version of buying a Cadillac mid life. Sadly my games are still on the way but got held up in customs. I picked up about 6ish games but their mostly the dirt cheap gets (ie under $50). I'll hold off on saying what they are till they show up. I did at least give the stick a go last night on my Neo CD and man really the sticks just feel so much better then the pad (but that mostly is because I grew up on the arcade versions over consoles). If anybody is wondering I did get the unit for cheaper then normal for NG but knowing the fact it might or might not need some repair (but it did come from japan and not through ebay so these tend to have better odds of being just fine as some store resellers just post them as junk and don't bother if they don't have the power/av cables).

Robinson is in there because I happen to pick it up at the same place as the rest. 

 

 on that castle of illusion (I really need to find a copy, just waiting till I come across one locally that is complete in box). I spent so much time playing that game when I was younger. 

I find it crazy the OS side looks laggy and little janky. Yet when it switches to the actual games they run super smooth and look very responsive.

Not really. I've given in and called out some of her shitty views before. And she has quite a few. Then I kick myself for letting myself get sucked into it and getting angry. I'm in the minority there. Things won't go well if I make it a habit. 

You can always flee north. There is big demand for nurses up here. =)

The system went up for sale on Amazon.jp a few days ago but looks to be all sold out atm. 

https://www.amazon.co.jp/SNK-NEOGEO-mini/dp/B07DWGTHDJ/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1529894041&sr=1-1&keywords=snk

I actually do have a pre-order in. After shipping and pre-tax it's 14,470 Yen or about $132 USD.

I think $100 USD for the system (pre-tax) is a pretty good price for what it offers. I'll post my impressions when I get it.

-edit-

Here is a video of the unit from e3

We need an official white people being afraid of minorities thread. Then we'd also have a place to dump the story of a guy that was trying to protect a gated community from a black woman that lived in it.

 I'm glad the HOA is looking to have repercussions against the guy.

Pff you don’t even have to ask, chibi snake was put back up as soon as the site went live. :P

I'm aware it's the Euro version, I got it from Germany. Cost $25, after shipping. I don't really care about NA vs PAL SMS games. There were hardly any complete copies of the NA version and the PAL versions were a lot cheaper.

Good good, I've sadly noticed a few times some retro shops trying to sell pal releases at NA prices for a few games. =/

I do love that MS games are the same between PAL/NA. There are just soo many great games we never got that PAL has. 

Just some Neo CD stuff. I recently bought some grease to fix my Neo CD (it was sometimes not recognizing game disc when you first turned it on). Now with the rail greased up it works like a charm. =)

@CastlevaniaNut18 Nice pickups. I still need to grab Shadow Dancer some day =/

Also I hope you got that Mickey for cheap. I only say that because it's the european print and not the usa print (usa print goes for more due to late release). MS rendition is fantastic, I've got both mickey MS games.
