Nice haul. What's the DVD sized Shenmue stuff?

Guidebooks from the look of it.

What I acquired on my first trip to Japan

Congrats... not sure what some of the stuff is but looks like a successful trip!

Looks to me like Shenmue 1 & 2 guides, Cosmic Smash, VMUs, Shenmue 1 & 2, Segagaga, FFVI on Sufami, CvS Pro, SFIII 3rd Strike, MvC2, a Touhou game, Trizeal, Roommania #203, Outrun (OST?), Street Fighter II` Hu-card, Christmas Nights, Gale Racer, Detana! Twinbee Yaaho Deluxe Pack and finally Virtua Fighter Kids.

Outrun is the PC-Engine HuCard version.

Yup! Thats about it. Couldn't be bothered typing it out. You have good eyes.

Both the guides are for Shenmue 1.
OutRun is also for the PC Engine (its quite funny when you split routes at the end of each stage because it flickers between the two.
The Touhou game is Imperishable Night.
Shenmue 1+2 were just for the collection. S1 isn't the limited edition but was the cheapest thing I bought in the whole of Japan - only 80 Yen! (actually, those Saturn games may have been cheaper...)
One of the VMUs is this carbon fibre-esque look which matches my Anthracite NeoGeoPocketColour.

That was a Dreamcast Direct exclusive, they did a matching controller which I think I have.

Got a slightly unusual question here (and it's not a techie matter, so I didn't feel it belongs in that particular sub-forum) but I've been thinking about picking up Front Mission 5, with the recent translation having been raved about on HG101.

Anyway, just wanted to check if anyone had experience of this seller: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PS2-Front-Miss...eo_Games_Games.

He seems on the up-and-up, but the stock photo and multiple copies of the same game are putting me off somewhat.

Without a doubt the greatest item i'll ever post about in here. My new baby arrived today!!!!





I'll write more about it in a bit!!!!

[nintastic]

Not bad , though I think it needs enhancing

It's in the post buddy and should be with you tomorrow

[Neil]

I'll be down tomorrow Colin, you got Bubble Bobble yet?

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

You could at least put a decent game in it!!!

[J0e Musashi]

Nice. Where's the select button?

If you complain about this one you can get lost!



J0e, It doesn't have one, all the other settings are done from inside the CP and from the test set up.

Lessons learned so far, I need to go out and buy some lower stools before the lads come round. Sitting playing it on the ones from my breakfast bar, you sit too high and it knackers your wrists after a bit.

Neil, no bubble bobble yet, still hunting!

[J0e Musashi]

So what you can't switch games Colin? You can wire up your own switch you know, it's pretty simple. Infact I might have something for you. I'll go see.

[Colin]

Yeah, it has other holes on the CP as a provision for it, Steve talked me through it. But it only has a one slot MVS board, and I like the look of the cab as it sits. Thanks anyway though.
