chakoo

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.

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.

Finally, I can post this here!!

I've got some more Neo Geo love on the way 

-edit-

The game is actually pretty good with the Neo CD pad. It plays less fidgety. 

I should try getting some more updated photos of my stuff but not much changed recently (just odds and ends).
