5 years I've been after NITD, finally I have it, crossed swords was another unexpected pickup, the price was right

And the cherry on the cake, after 5 years of having one game in my collection with a ripped label (Garou MOTW) I now have a minty Garou MOTW, which is why I have the Garou twins currently, interestingly one has Toshiba printed all over the shop, one does not.

Just got this today. Didn't realize Watermelon still had new copies and ordered it last week, got here fast! Can't wait to play it on Mega Drive finally.

Got mine about 2 weeks ago. Pretty fun so far! Hope you like it!

I know where I'm gonna hide...OK City!

I recently received the Twin Famicom that Lem modded for me (RGB, Audio, Controller Ports) and was finally smart enough to order the right cable to use it => awesomeness
(The Picture of the shirt is just that of a pal who insisted on playing every Wrestling game we find on that console, on the image with the controller it's also his hands )

[Electric Grave]

It does look way more awesome than the red one.

Man, that black Twin Famicom looks great! Congrats!

I like the read one better... but holy crap I'd love either one, especially with RGB. Another nice addition Berry!

I had one, and I gotta say I much prefer a A/V Famicom and a Disk System. Controller lengths, less modular repairs/upgrades...idk I prefer the look of it, but not the execution.

Finally got the last few needed to complete my SNES region unlocking mod. Lifting the tiny pins off the board wasn't as bad as I was fearing, but I did have to count my way to the correct legs numerous times, just to make sure; I had a hard time keeping my eyes focused on something so tiny.

Showed up just in time for the weekend.

Not exactly video game related but since a lot of people here collect Lego, I got this set today:



Haven't built anything out of Lego for a while and was looking for a good set to get the ball rolling - the above Technic 8110 set, now officially discontinued, but still available, seemed to be generally recommended as one of the best Technic sets ever so I decided to go with that.
Will probably take a while to build, especially with all those stupid things such as work, sleeping and eating getting in the way

owww, I thought that was our little secret.

It's ok, I think it's time to come out, different times.

You're right, it's one of the best Technic sets currently available, congratulations.

Well the wait is finally over, I have been after this game for years and years. I completed it on an emulator back in 2000 and nearly got the cart around 2004/5 but wasn't really into retro games until more recently. Pardon the pun but I finally pulled the trigger for Chrono Trigger!!!!!!!!!!!

It is boxed and complete with original registration card, mint condition posters, full colour manual and a cart that looks like it is brand new. The box is nice and sturdy but has signs of wear, but overall I'm very pleased. This sure beats playing the crappy iOS version that I have on my iPad.

Not taking chances playing an epic PRG with a 20 year old battery for my save games, I installed a battery holder and a new CR2032 battery

Now equipped with a fresh battery to look after my saves, lets rock!

 

[Reclaimer]

Nice get Larrs. Chrono Trigger on SNES is a treat to be savored. Good call on replacing the battery.

What kind of battery holder are you using in there?

Hi Shadowkn55,

I buy these from Hong Kong via eBay, I have replaced over a dozen batteries in SNES carts using these. You need to mod them slightly, you bend both pins downwards so they fit through the holes in the cart's PCB, the pin at the top needs to be trimmed down a little, I use a pair to nail scissors to clip it but its also worth putting a glob of super glue on the back and let it dry to stop the connectors raising up when you bend the pins.

This video is handy for members looking to do something similar:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYFXNEH_vvk&spfreload=10
The holders are these ones: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-Pieces-...893?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2c70d66d45

Hope that helps

I was either considering doing the battery holder or replacing the sram with fram and forgetting the whole battery issue till the end of time.

Now that sounds like an awesome plan, if you manage the mod I'd be interested to see how you got on. I never have come across a completely dead battery on an old game so far but don't want to take chances. I really need to replace more for my original GameBoy games but since the carts are very shallow I have not found a holder that is low enough.

Very nice! I spent so many hours play Chrono Trigger as a kid and I still play it from time to time. Glad I kept all of my SNES stuff from when I was a kid.

I have girly man post syndrome. There, you happy?
