Over the last few weeks:

http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/7835/picturehp1.jpg

Sexy Parodius JP PSX with spine card.
Twinkle Star Sprites JP Neo-Geo CD without spine card.
League Bowling JP Neo-Geo CD without spine card.
Real Bout Fatal Fury Special JP Neo-Geo CD without spine card.
Philosoma US PSX complete.
Strikers 1945 JP PSX without spine card.

Total: Around $167 shipped.

Sexy Parodius and Twinkle Star Sprites costing me an arm and an leg. League Bowling and Real Bout I got from a trade, and both Philosoma and Strikers 1945 I got from ebay for a good price. Sexy Parodius is just funny to play, Twinkle Star Sprites is great on 2 Players. League Bowling is fun and easy, Real Bout might have long loading times, but it's worth it. Philosoma for getting it cheap is really great for a shmup. Strikers 1945 on the PSX is actually a great port of the arcade game. While the Saturn port was a little better than the PSX port, the PSX port can stand on its own two feet. The only odd part is that Strikers 1945 II plays horrible on the Saturn, but plays a lot better on the PSX.

how do you post pics on here?

[Joe Redifer]

You need you use magic. Unfortunately right now Sega-16's forums are not compatible with magic from Australia.

how come your such a wanker on these forums?

[Joe Redifer]

Huh? Dude, we're not here to babysit you. Try reading the FAQ.

[Knuckles-chaotix]

Ok thought this was more like a communal forum for us 16-bitters, well whats left of us! But you always seem to be a competitive person, not on here to help people..
Its a shame..Most people on here are awesome very helpfull and wanting to keep the megadrive alive.. You seem to have allot of knowledge on the megadrive but share it in awfull taste.

[VinnyT]

Um, I went on an eBay fringe the last few days....

Pirates! Gold (Gen) $14.49, cart only
Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters(GameBoy) $7.95
Fighting Masters (Gen) $6.25, Complete
Zero Tolerance $8.99, box
Clue(Gen) $5.00
Dynamite Headdy $5.98

So, yeah, not bad....

[Joe Redifer]

You seem to have allot of knowledge on the megadrive but share it in awfull taste.
That's an opinion thing, but I don't see where you get it from unless you count the fact that I didn't help you with a basic forum feature.

[108 Stars]

how do you post pics on here?

On the upper symbol bar, use the button right of the white smilie, then you can put attachements from your PC to your post.
Or use the yellow button with the mountains on the lower symbol bar to put pics from other websites in here.
I think....

And now for my haul:
Double Dragon and Shinobi, both complete for my beloved new Master System. Those games cost me 6,-€ including shipping.

[VinnyT]

Or just take the url and put [ img] before it and [ /img] after it, but without the spaces.

Oh, and some more games

GameCrazys 3 for $10 became a 6 for $20
Dreamcast: Unreal Tournament ( I want to play this online SO bad!)
GameBoy: Balloon Kid
N64: Doom 64
Genesis: Samurai Showdown, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine,Vectorman

Also, from another store
Muhammed Ali Heavyweight Boxing (Gen) Boxed
LoadStar (CD) Book, Supreme Warrior (CD 32X) complete
Total: $22

I'm worn out now.

[108 Stars]

So, what I bought now on ebay is quite a good haul I think...
All games are loose and without instructions though.
They cost me 13,40 € (including shipping and shipping insurement)

The games are...

-Tiny Toon Adventure
-Ghouls'n Ghosts
-Space Harrier 2
-Quackshot (japanese)
-Toki
-DJ Boy (japanese)
-Alien Soldier (PAL):D :D :D


You are allowed to congratulate me and envy me now...!

[David J.]

If you don't mind the lack of instuctions, that's a grat deal.

I'd buy a PAL Alien Solider for that much, heh. Want to sell/trade it to me?

[Joe Redifer]

I wouldn't want to play a PAL Alien Soldier on a Genesis. It would be sped up and too spastic, since that game was "optimized" for PAL when it was brought out over there. The Japanese version is the only way to go if you have an NTSC console and want to play the game properly.

[David J.]

So if you played it in 60HZ, it'd be really fucked up?

[Joe Redifer]

Well since it is a "native" 50Hz game in that region, then yeah.

[David J.]

Well, what I want to say is pretty vulgar. So watch the Tourettes Guy video where he's swearing at the TV when the lottery comes up. That is my reaction.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=GBMMIanNH0k

[Joe Redifer]

I could understand that if you had just won the game on eBay (or wherever) and hadn't gotten it yet and just found this out. But to my knowledge you haven't purchased any version of the game yet, so no worries.

[Melf]

Picked up Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the 360 today. :)

i have Alien Soldier (PAL) it plays great i have not seen any problems

have you ever played the pal version of Alien Soldier on a US system your self

[Zebbe]

I have Alien Soldier (PAL) and as Joe says, it sucks to be played in 60 Hz. I'm forced to play with squashed screen in 50 Hz. Otherwise I can get the Jap version, which is too expensive and not really necessary actually. I don't find Alien Soldier that important, so I'll just stick with the much cheaper PAL version I got.

what do you mean by squashed screen on mine it plays full screen

[David J.]

If he plays in 50hz... then it's a squashed screen. Play the Japanese version via emulation, and compare it to your genesis with the UK version. The sound is a lot faster. If you had the US version of Streets of Rage 2 and played it in 50hz, the audio would be a lot faster.

Anyway, I got Galactaic Attack for the Sega Saturn today. The case has some scratches, but the hinges are fine, and the game looks like it has never been played! $4.99

well that just the audio Joe Redifer makes it look like the game is just umplayable wane you play the PAL version on a US system :?

[Zebbe]

If you had the US version of Streets of Rage 2 and played it in 50hz, the audio would be a lot faster.

No, it would be a lot slower.

redrum666: The game won't be unplayable because you play it in 60 Hz, but everything will be too fast since the PAL version is optimized as Joe says, which means the PAL version isn't 16.7% slower in all aspects like many other PAL games are.

[David J.]

download the US SOR 2 rom, and set it to PAL right after you start the game.

The game is slower, but the audio is faster.

[redrum666]

i just saying Joe make it out as if the game is unplayable thats all

allso i play the PAL rom of AS it seems the rom is a lot faster then it plays on my genesis

Yes, you are right. It sounds insane.

ok back on topic i got in the mail today from ebay

technocop complete for genesis for $2.50
and books for some games for genesis, segacd and SMS

[Knuckles-chaotix]

I got alien soldier pal and its full screen, fast paced..i think its a crap title anyways.

[Joe Redifer]

i just saying Joe make it out as if the game is unplayable thats all
I most certainly am not. I think you are just a bit sensitive to the issue since you happen to own the PAL version. The game is a bit faster on your NTSC system, but nowhere did I say it was "unplayable". I just prefer playing games at their originally intended speed. Would you like to play a slow Sonic 1 in PAL? No, you'd hate it. But still, it's playable. :)

allso i would love to play Sonic 1 in PAL that dam Hedgehog is just too fast slow down where the fire you cant even enjoy the level a lot of people spent alot of time on them you blue punk

[Joe Redifer]

Sonic's attitude always gets him into trouble, that little punk.

[David J.]

Ary? I dunno.

[108 Stars]

I´m happay with my PAL-Alien Soldier. I find the game kind of mediocre myself, but I want to build up a good collection with most of the important games, and Alien Soldier is definately an important title. And...it was very cheap: Alien Soldier plus 6 other games (quite a few good ones as well) for less than 15,-€.:o

As for PAL-speed/squashed screen: it doesn´t really disturb you if you don´t know the games the way they were originally meant to be. Sonic is still very fast, and after a while you don´t notice the PAL-bars anymore (or you even like them for the cinematic feeling).
It´s nice to see that Sega put effort in some of their PAL-versions. NTSC is not generally superior to the PAL-standard. NTSC has more frames, PAL has a higher resolution. The best is PAL 60, a standard the European Dreamcast used and that combines both systems advantages.
Problem is that back in the 16-Bit games they didn´t put the effort into converting games properly to PAL. And since most games came from NTSC-countries originally, we Europeans and Australians had bad luck.
This is getting better today, although I almost cried when I first played my beloved Final Fantasy X in PAL and about one-third of the screen was black and Yuna seemed to have a serious weight-problem....
But in the last 1 or 2 years most games have been properly converted, so in the region-free future you Americans don´t have to worry about buying low-quality PAL-versions anymore!

[Knuckles-chaotix]

I have both system now and Jp megadrive is awesome but not as bright as pal!

[Joe Redifer]

Are you playing the two consoles on the same TV? That could be why. If you had a real NTSC TV, then there shouldn't be much/any difference in the brightness. Well NTSC video does suck, but if the PAL console was hooked up via RGB and the NTSC hooked up the same way (or component), then there shouldn't be any color or brightness differences. I keep forgetting how much NTSC sucks since I stopped using it for everything except the NES.

[j_factor]

Just got Time Cruise for TG16. Man, I really, really hate the packaging of the later hucard games. If TTI insisted on changing the packaging, they should've just made them the same as their CD releases (as in, jewel case only).

what i do for the latter turbo grafx-16 games is get some thin CD jewel cases and break off the peaces that holds the cd after that the game and book fit just nicely

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a10/redrum1116/Picture009.jpg

[Joe Redifer]

Naw, I gotta get real HuCard (or TurboChip as they're called here) cases. I'll buy a cheap game that I don't need if the case is in good condition. Then I'll print up a new spine label and I'll be in business! That's what I did for Air Zonk and plan to do with New Adventure Island.

This is why American companies = teh suk.

I also bought a used but complete copy of Ico ($8) at a pawn shop and a PC Engine Duo RX console from Ebay this past Saturday. A quick question. I was wondering if the Turbografx 16 controllers are compatible with the PC Egine/Duo consoles?

There's an adapter out there that allows you to plug a TG16 controller into a Duo. If you're feeling extra ballsy, you can do some modifications to the Turbo controller in question, as long as you have a spare Duo pad to swap parts with. There's more info here: http://overclocked.org/emuturbofaq.txt.. find the phrase "PcEngine and TG16/Duo Controllers."

Kickass Virtual Console picks, by the way.

Courtesy of the jolly holiday, I came upon Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2 (PS2), Cold Fear (PS2), and this awesome pixel art creator that I made a crude NES Donkey Kong Junior and Samus with which are now decorating my guitar amp.

Mega Drive 2 SCART Cable
CYP CSY2100 (RGB Scart -> Component Converter)

Although I play Genesis on a good compsite TV, I wonder if I will see a big difference?

[Joe Redifer]

You will if you have a good component TV. I assume you'll be using a Genesis 1 and a 32X with that, as otherwise you won't have any sound unless you do a small mod to the converter. You can also remove the 32X and just use the adapter cable that goes between the Genesis and 32X if you want.

Good games that show lots of difference between composite and component:
-Game Genie title screen (where the red genie is) - much less color bleed.
-Midnight Resistance (in the weapons select room)
-Batman (don't walk sign)
-Any game with the color red in it.

I have looked in to everything, so the only thing I need to do is purchase the stuff.. damn paypal taking forever to transfer funds, and going to radio shack to buy the adaptor. I have Batman and a Game Genie. And yes, I'll be using a Genesis 1 and a 32X. I already have the audio going out of the headphone jack, so I'm pretty psyched.

I've FINALLY got my grubby hands on a Japanese copy of Sparkster and Sonic 3. A cartridge slot expander's on the way, too, so I can slice a trace on that rather than fiddle with tape when dumping cartridges :)

edit: 32X too whoop whoop whoop

[Zebbe]

You buy both a cartridge slot expander and a 32X? You can get Jap carts into the 32X (not Sunsoft's though).

[Elusive]

You buy both a cartridge slot expander and a 32X? You can get Jap carts into the 32X (not Sunsoft's though).

I'm using a Mega-CD program to dump cartridges. To stop cartridges from running when you turn on the Mega Drive, you need to disconnect a connector pin on the cartridge - with the label facing you, it's the one furthest to the right. Right now I'd have to stick a bit of Sellotape over it or something to break the connection between the pin and the Mega Drive cartridge slot. The problem with this method is that it's fiddly, and could probably end up with bits of Sellotape stuck in the slot. If I get a cartridge slot expander and cut the right-hand pin permanently, all I need to do would be to plug the cartridge I want into the expander, which won't start as the pin is cut permanently.

A 32X uses the same power lead as a model 2 Mega Drive, right?

[Zebbe]

I see. Is it the Mega Cart you are using?

Yes, the 32X and Mega Drive II has the same power lead. You need one for the 32X and one for the Mega Drive though.

[Elusive]

I've won complete copies of Knuckles' Chaotix and Virtua Racing Deluxe for the 32X. It's kind of odd how the 'Free Run' mode isn't there, but VR is a pretty fun game.

[Zebbe]

Have fun with Knuckles' Chaotix, Elusive! I got my copy about 2 weeks ago and I hate it from the bottom of my black heart. Worst "Sonic" game for Mega Drive/it's three add ons. Read my full opinion in the next Reader Roundtable.

[Elusive]

I don't think it's supposed to be a Sonic game - more of a spinoff, like Spinball or Sonic Riders. Besides, it's about as close to a killer app as the 32X has.

Was Tempo ever released in Europe? I've never, ever seen a PAL copy.

[David J.]

Tempo was never released in Europe. Sorry. :(

[Joe Redifer]

Don't apologize. They got a lucky break!

Please advise on this haul...

Starflight (complete)
Shadowrun (complete)
Madden '93 (complete)
NBA Live 95 (cart only)
Mortal Kombat (complete)

for $17 after shipping

All I really wanted was Starflight, but according to digitpress Starflight and Shadowrun go for $20 and $25 respectively, so I figured this was a decent deal. However, I don't really know how well digitpress estimates translate to the real world...
Did I do good?

PS: watch for some of these titles to show up on the giveaway thread.

Shadowrun is definitely a keen find, especially complete. Mortal Kombat is at least worth keeping for the novelty alone. Madden '93 will circulate forever in collectors limbo, eternally passing from one set of uncaring hands to the next..

Starflight and Shadowrun make it a pleasingly undervalued haul, so right on.

£15.50 for this lot: (all Jap)

Got Master of Darkness in the Mail. Australian Master System games suck.

[Rodger]

jurassic park (scd)
bram stoker's dracula (scd)

only cost 10 bucks total, could be some good to stuff to review on here :D

[Joe Redifer]

Sodom
Isn't Sodom in the US version? I don't see why he wouldn't be, especially since Sega of America was located in San Francisco, one of the gayest cities on the planet. They would have loved a guy named "Sodom".


Australian Master System games suck.
Yeah, the boxes are slightly smaller than real Master System games, the manuals don't fit in the holders in the box and the cartridges have weird white lines on the stickers. I am beginning to think that Australia might not be a real country.

[David J.]

Well, there's not too many PAL Master System games I want... so I'll probally import from the UK or something.

I think I can count what I want on one hand. Thankfully just about everything I want is damned cheap... nothing stupidly rare like Power Strike 2, or Home Alone. But the suspense kills me. Power Strike 2 wouldn't be too bad to own, but I'd never really play it, and it's a lot of money.

Isn't Sodom in the US version? I don't see why he wouldn't be, especially since Sega of America was located in San Francisco, one of the gayest cities on the planet. They would have loved a guy named "Sodom".

I don't think he is. Sega of America removed the fag of Bare Knuckle 3, so why should Sodom have been spared? These games were sold to christians you know. Most christians seem to hate fags, which I don't understand since Jesus loves everybody.

[j_factor]

Yeah, Sodom's new name of Katana was in the Sega CD version. But all they did for the US Sega CD version was change names and add a little clothing -- unlike the SNES version, they didn't remove any characters or stages or anything. Also I think the dialogue was allowed to be slightly racier in the Sega CD version, e.g. "You son of a..." instead of "You fiend!".

In any case, from what I gather, Japan's not exactly progressive when it comes to gay rights, so I don't see why the gay thing is less of an issue there. I'm inclined to think that we're just bigger on censorship in general.

[Zebbe]

I think Jap folks are just "...whatever" in gay stuff, while the lobby of right-wing conservative christians in the USA are more working against it. Therefor, games with homosexual themes would cause bigger protests in USA. At least that's how I see it.

[Joe Redifer]

I thought that all of Japan was gay. Look at the ever-so-popular Final Fantasy "Male" characters. And some of the previous Castlevania art. They love gayness over there. They also have a series call Chew on Nikki or something like that. It's a shooter with naked men huddled together and an overall gay theme.

his name is still Sodom in the sega cd version he is only name Katana in the super nes version of final fight, final fight guy and Street Fighter Alpha 2

The Story of Poison

One of the most popular side characters is Poison, the scantily clad, purple haired dominatrix girl (also appearing with red hair as Roxy), who's also never been playable outside of Final Fight Revenge. She appears alongside Hugo in every game she's in, and she's at least reasonably popular in...ahem...certain Japanese fan artist circles. She's also one of the most controversial character Capcom has ever created. There wasn't any problem with her being in the Japanese game, but when importing it to other countries, the American divisions had a problems with players being able to beat up women. So, in a somewhat clever move, Capcom Japan decided that Roxy and Poison were both transsexuals (or "newhalves", if you want to use the Japanese terminology), so even though they looked like chicks, they were actually 100% dude. I suppose this makes beating them up more of a hate crime than regular domestic abuse, but I've never been one to figure out political correctness anyway. By the time Final Fight Revenge came out, the design team, completely separate from the original developers, had decided that Poison was in fact a girl and she had a crush on Cody. Her ending seems to suggest that she may go through the operation so she can be by Cody's side. Capcom's official stance is that she's still a guy, although that may be in question.

Poison was meant to star in Capcom Fighting All Stars, a 3D fighting game that was eventually canned and morphed into the mediocre 2D fighter Capcom Fighting Evolution - which had no evidence of Poison. She was edited entirely out of the SNES and Gameboy Advance versions of the game, replaced with spiky haired male bad guys, and while's she present in the Sega CD version, extra clothes were added.

Finally got Christmas Nights for a reasonable price. $15 for the US version with sleeve. Hooray!

While I was at it, I decided I was awesome enough to get The Terminator (sega cd) for $5, but not too awesome to pay $10 for Beavis & Butt-head (genesis).

My Megadrive isn't capable of playing Jap games though... should I sell up the copy of Strider or mod the md?

[David J.]

Strider WILL work, if you widen the cart slot.

[Zebbe]

No, use it through a 32X, Game Genie, Pro Action Replay or similar, so you don't have to deform your cart slot.

[Zebbe]

I dunno... So your cart slot looks like a wizard's sleeve, huh?

[Elusive]

Bought a Mega Drive 2 SCART cable from Chaoticjelly. The one I had before was complete shit.

Good move, that's the same guy I bought a ton of Dreamcast peripherals and Flux from.

I've finally won a complete copy of Toejam & Earl, too. Seems like this could potentially be an upcoming 'eBay darling' to rival Gunstar Heroes. I'm also pretty chuffed with the Comix Zone I won last week, it came with the 'limited edition 6-track audio CD' inside. Was this same CD released in the States under the Sega Tunes label?

I've been on a soundtrack hunt lately, too. Daytona USA: Circuit Edition arrived three days ago, to go with the two Sonic Heroes soundtracks, Shadow the Hedgehog: Lost And Found and Segarocks Live in Japan. Otaku.co.uk messed me around regarding an OutRun2 soundtrack, and I'd still give an arm and a kidney for the Daytona USA 2: BotE soundtrack. :(

[Chris Marsh]

Rambo III (Genesis)
Alien Storm
Rolling Thunder 2
Rise of the Dragon (Sega CD)

[David J.]

Elusive, a Comix Zone CD came with the game. It may be the same CD.

Yeah, I bought a MD1 SCART cable, just to see if my Transcoder and TV was complete crap (it wasn't) and I didn't buy an MD2 cable right off the bat, just to be safe. OH well, it'll be perfect for a backup incase I don't ever have a 32X conversion cable, or if I loose mine.

[David J.]

Just won Gekido in mint condtion complete for $4 something... Good deal, I think.

[Joe Redifer]

Bought the Insignia stereo receiver from Best Buy for my computer. I needed a cheap receiver because the amps on my old Pioneer were dying. The sign in Best Buy said that this was a stereo receiver... with Pro Logic 2! I laughed at their stupidity.

Anyway the receiver is OK. When adjusting the balance, it says the left channel is getting louder on the display when in actuality the right channel is (yes, I have it hooked up correctly). Also when you put it into standby and turn it back on later, the volume resets to very low and the balance settings reset, but not the bass and treble settings. Odd receiver, but oh well.

[David J.]

Oh, so you bought that cheap reciever I was talking about?

[Joe Redifer]

Yeah, that was it. I didn't have much choice, as I wanted sound.
