It's not balsy if you work for a living. One day you'll have a real job and know what it's like to spend a lot of money on something.

I don't dare say what I dropped on my competition skeet gun...but I earn enough money to afford it so I don't need to be "balsy" I earned it, I spent it.

^^^ This.

[Joe Redifer]

Wow, Déjà vu! From over 4 years ago:

Yeah evildragon didn't do a very good explanation. Plus he said they're easier to wire up. WTF? Easier than the shitty Guncon 3, maybe. But more of a pain than any other Light Gun outside of the Super Scope and Menacer. I also never felt the "increased accuracy" of the Guncon compared to that of the Stunner or whatnot. Granted, I point and shoot, I don't use the sights.

Except most people have said $650 is a huge chunk of change, even for a nice CMVS made in a real wood shell... It's not just me you know. I don't see why you need to drag personal jabs into this, I can do whatever the hell I want... Much like Lan Di. I'm sure he's gotten lots of complements about his purchase. Kudos to him...

[Tanegashima]

I can do whatever the hell I want too. Personal Jabs: Engage!

got neo geo pocket games:
Pocket Reversi, Cardfighters SNK version, and Fatal fury first contact

[MrMatthews]

Thanks, man. I actually already have a GBA that I'm totally in love with; a black-on-black Game Boy Micro, which is incredibly slick. But I like Game Boy handhelds in all varieties (DMG, Play it Loud, Pocket, Color, GBA, GBA SP, Micro, w/e), so if I find one in decent shape (for a decent price, anyway), it's really hard for me to turn it down. That's pretty much what happened there.

I'm a sucker for the old GameBoys, too. Right now I have 10 original DMGs and a red one, along with 5.5 GameBoy Pockets. Eventually I plan to have every color available for each model (including that sweet DMG-themed Pocket that never got released to the States). I don't really care too much about the GameBoy Colors or any of the GBA models, but I'd love to find a reasonably-priced GameBoy Micro.

Edit: Oops, almost forgot to mention what I found today.

No games, but I found a pair of really nice "Lazy Susan" style shelving units that were probably designed for VHS tapes or DVDs. Each stands about 4 feet tall and holds about 40 boxed Genesis or NES games on a side.

P.S. The reason the Guncon has the Composite Video plug is that it
uses the far more frequent (and therefore more accurate) Horizontal
sync, which occurs 262.5 times more often than the Vertical sync's 60
times per second, or 15,750 times per second. Pretty spiffy, huh?

Rep to you for some GunCon love.

I love my original GunCon and consider it one of the best supported peripherals for the original Playstation. People also say that they can't tell the difference, but I play a lot of lightgun games and there is definitely a difference. If you tried to play a Point Blank game with another gun I would believe that there are stages that would be impossible to finish.

Now if only I could locate a golden Guncon

FINALLY this actually arrived! (Well, I picked it up - it was in the post office. So I'm not sure whether to blame Italian Post for it taking a whole month, or Royal Mail. I think... both. )



Also finally bought one of these. It's much nicer than the regular GBA (doesn't cramp my hands), and has a backlight. Cost £13. I played the Spyro game a bit. Like the style, shame about the isometricness.

I love Galaga and Gaplus. Is Galaga 2 just Gaplus repackaged? I cannot imagine playing it on a small handheld though. For me, the optimal way to play Galaga was on the clicky arcade stick back in the 80's. One day, I will have a clicky arcade stick to properly play Galaga again.

It's a (somewhat dinky) port of Galaga '88. I've only played the arcade version on MAME and Gaplus on Wii, so I'm not really familiar with the various ports. I'm really liking the GG version though, it's simple, addictive and runs fairly smoothly. PAL version's a git to find on GG, if you're interested you'd be better off going for '91 (the Japanese version) - though I suspect most people could live without it

$23.00 Out the door.

I also bought DoDonPachi Resurrection for the 360 but that probably won't be here for another week. I can feel another shmup summer coming on, and I like it.

[Lan Di]

Akai Katana for $23.00? Where did you get it. At that price I gotta pick it up.

[AD2101]

It was at Gamestop, but I used a $10 off coupon and an employee discount. I paid around $40 for DoDonPachi and even though I've only put an hour on Akai Katana so far, I think it's worth the full $40. The ability to download top player's replays on your 360 blew my mind, and I'm really digging the whole vibe it has going for it.

[green.eyes]

Just gotten for 3DS: Naruto Shippuden 3D The New Era
DS: 4 Elements
Saturn: Mega Man 3, Mega Man 8 and Minnesota Fats Pool Legend.
Amiga: Crystal Dragon
Also DVD American Dad 7

[M4R14NO94]

Oh man, I meant to upload all of Minnesota Fats: Pool Legend's cutscenes months ago to YouTube but never did it because I don't even know how to convert Saturn Cinepak files.

Still, it's a pretty good game.
