Took him forever to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a ton of shit, but this is most of the game stuff. There are some additional small figures, trinkets, etc. but this is the big stuff. We went crazy on game CDs. And as you can tell, I focused a lot on Kirby and Dragon Quest because there's just so muich of it easily found. oh man I missed this stuff, I’m definitely going to need to send back home or something too, amazing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't know about this YT channel and it's PC-88 Paradise series, I think he will enjoy it as it covers falcom games and their history.

He was oogling sadly over retro PCs at a Hard Off there. Really expensive and too heavy to reasonably transport back home, though. Some even had the caps replaced.

If he was possibly wanting an X68000, the company who worked on the genesis mini (zuiki) did just put out a mini X68000Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the PC-98 he wanted. But it was like $1500 or so at Hard Off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw as a side question, did you two go check out any arcade stores (think super potato but just arcade pcbs). I know some retro stores have a few arcade PCB but I remember there being one in Tokyo that is just arcade PCB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some retro stores have a few arcade PCB but I remember there being one in Tokyo that is just arcade PCB. The best ones we went to were on the outer limits of Osaka and Tokyo, took a decently long train or bus ride to get to. Book Offs were even better when it came to retro games. I know they wanted to go to some in the smaller cities, but we weren't able to fit them in. A lot of them were a downright pain in the ass to get to. Didn't go to any of the retro arcade stores, didn't even know it was a thing. But maybe for the best because we wouldn't have had enough room to bring them back.
