Finds (All Others)

[Protoman]

Bought Umihara Kawase boxed for 5000 yen from Yahoo auctions. It usually goes for 7-8000 in stores

[UglyJoe]

Wife got me this Namco collection vinyl for our anniversary. It's clear with color splashes and looks pretty cool in motion. Also the Splatterhouse ending music is great.

[fcgamer]

Very nice UglyJoe!  I don't have any vinyl, but that is something I am probably going to get into next, and what better than some classic video game tunes?   

[Retrospectives]

He is going to hook it up to his old PSX and play Vib Ribbon to that tunes all the day! That's exactly what he will do 

[famiac]

Yoooo is that an SL-1200?

[linkzpikachu]

Got this little gem from my local dealer. He had anouther but times are tough and I could only pick up this one for now. Has the "Pockemon" platformers from some of the Korean famicom pirate carts

My #SuperSmashBros Melee Japanese store kiosk demo came scratch free. There are 2 commercials For Melee, Pikmin and demos for both games. A Gamecube promo video as well. Feels so weird playing this in 2018. I remember getting Smash the first day at #Blockbuster for the holidays.

No new videos yet, possibly tomorrow. I also got a ton of FDS disks but I haven't finished sorting them out yet.

[nintendodork]

Cool. I wonder what the balance changes are between that and the Japanese retail version of Smash.

Cool. I wonder what the balance changes are between that and the Japanese retail version of Smash.

I'm no sure. It may be based of 1.0's engine or possibly an earlier build. I did find this page which give more information and a marginal examination of all known releases of Super Smash Bros. Melee.: https://www.deviantart.com/connorrentz/journal/A-List-of-Every-Known-Super-Smash-Bros-Melee-ISO-745931005

I still need a few more versions to complete my collection but I have the extremely rare versions including a few demos already.

*surf music plays* oh man I forget how long it was since we owned this game. Also finally Alien Syndrome! Time to immerse into fun. Hope I don't crash and burn!

And yesterday, from the Retro Gaming Convention I went to (I have some videos as well) I picked up NES Qix for 15, Klax for 5 and Cool Boarders 2 for 3.

[UglyJoe]

Wow, FuncoLand dust jacket.  That takes me back

[nensondubois]

Wow, FuncoLand dust jacket.  That takes me back

I saw a yellow Funcoland box and inside was Qix, a game I really wanted for some time. Finally got it for 15!

[FamicomFreak]

Here are my latest additions!

I got as much as I could at Surugaya and Ojamakan in Kyoto, especially Surugaya had lots of good games. A few finds at Nara Hard Off but their game section is small and prices slightly above Kyoto.

Anyway, Akihabara has the tourist prices I expected, but Trader Hq had good prices on some games. I can recommend any Surugaya outside of Akihabara, the one in Shinjuku had a good stock and almost Kyoto prices.
