Post Your Recent Purchases!

[Sikleflaming]

Hey all, not actually a super recent purchase but I realized I've never shared the SFA3 machine I put together earlier this year. Bought an old Dynamo, fixed it up, and stuck Alpha 3 in it, runs beautifully.


Also modified the control panel to take Sanwa buttons, I know I'm gonna get shit for doing that to an American cab but I just can't play without my Sanwa buttons.


More recently I picked up this for a steal

Which is maybe the most beautiful game anyone's ever made for the CPSII

I'm seriously desperate for people to play this thing with, trying to organize a JAMMA tourney but if anyone is in the NoVA area and wants to play I'd love you forever

Nice touch to that dynamo! I think thats my next project fix mine up as well! Good job!

Machine looks nicely done.

Where did you get the sticker/overlay with the capcom logo?

Thanks dude, super proud of it!

Got the overlay from http://www.arcadeoverlays.com/capcom-diamond-plate-control-panel-overlay/, it's a repro of the original Capcom. It's super pricey but the old one was torn to shit and it was important to me that the panel looked good!

Believe it or not Gohanx the guy who did babylon 5 wrote a chunk of the script's for the show.
It was pretty good for a kid's cartoon.
I've not seen it in year's, be a kick to revisit it and see how it's held out.
I liked a lot of the 80's cartoon's like battle of the planet's, star blazers, thundercat's, cities of gold, transformers, i've got fond memories of them.

J Michael Stracynski's name keeps popping up in random old obscure children's shows I keep hearing about, he was also a script writer and developer of the live action post-apocalyptic children's show Captain Power and the soldiers of the future

CAPTAIN POWER WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!

My first taste of anime was from those VHS tapes you got with the vehicles. Nothing but space ships and explosions.

I've never heard of captain power, that's one that's slipped under the rader for me.
My first taste of anime was a show called marine boy that was aired on a saturday morning on bbc 1 over here in the UK along with champion the wonder horse and casey jones back in the mid 70's.

i think my first exposure to anime was with samurai pizza cats, which was also on bbc 1. if i remember correctly, it was shown very early right before timmy mallett.

Congrats on finally finding one!

How much longer until you lose your Garou again metroid-esque and have to get it all over again.

Nice!

A big thanks to Gyrian for selling his loose Mega Drive Covers and manuals!

I recently picked up a loose Gleylancer cart on ebay to complete the case and manual that I got from Gyrian.

Although a bit on the easy side (on the default Normal difficulty) Gleylancer is one of the best Shooters I've played on the Mega Drive / Genesis.

I seriously love this game.



Someone here bought Gyrian's cover art and manual for MD Twinkle Tale. Have you matched it up with a cartridge yet? If not, let me know if you ever want to part with it.

Congrats on completing the Gleylancer quest and presumably the game itself as well! Hands down one of the best MD shooters What's left on your wanted list?

Gleylancer is one i've been after for a long time, it's a fab shooter.
I've only played it on the xbox via emulation.
Such a shame a lot of these class games never saw the light of day outside of asia.

Love the artwork on those Japanese MD games.

Absolutely fantastic. Congrats on those pickups.

What are you gonna convert it to?

Needed more games for an upcoming winter/holiday themed game party:

Thanks! It's good to hear others are getting their hands on Gleylancer too. How did you score yours? Did you get crazy like me and get an original? Repro maybe?

I did beat the game this weekend. Even though the levels are short there are lots of them. I must have played it about four time before I cleared it. When I did that last session took me about 50 minutes.
I think anyone who is still playing retro games would have no trouble with it.
I also tried it on Hard mode and man they really cranked it up a bunch of notches. It still felt fair but true to the modes name, it's bloody hard.

I bet my wish list for Japanese Mega Drive games is very similar to anyone else who's also into the MD:

Alien Soldier
Battle Mania 2
Pulse Man
Twinkle Tale
Snow Bros.
V-V

I read your blog post about this. Very very cool. Congrats Duder!

Awesome! Yeah, imagine getting Gleylancer for $135 USD. Man, that would have been sweet.

Emulating the 8-bit and 16-bit era is done really well for the most part. I bet your experience with Gleylancer was just like on original hardware.
I think the Genesis was still around for about 5 years after Gleylancer came out. I'm surprised that it was never released anywhere else.

Love the artwork on those Japanese MD games.

Absolutely fantastic. Congrats on those pickups.

The Japanese really nailed the artwork on MD games. I'm a big fan too. I also like it when the cart gets different artwork than the case. Feels like they went that extra mile with little details like that.


All you guys are great at helping me justify this habit! You rock! lol
This is a much different reaction than what I got from my wife.

Does anyone know how to spell Gleylancer? I've see it spelt as two words (Gley Lancer) a lot on the web. But in the manual and in the end credits of the game it's show in a plain font all upper case (GLEYLANCER). Which makes me think it's one word.
