Post any time you get ANYTHING retro 2

Sounds like she might have been talking about Sean Kelly's two Videogames and Then stores... and yes, they are pretty US centric.

In Chicago at the moment and somehow got talking about old videogames with a girl yesterday, she's told me about a place with a big retro stock that I'm going to have a look at later in the week. Look hopefully being the operative word, but there IS plenty of space in my bag!

You can always post stuff to me...you know, if you want to...

Thats one of them and I'll be heading there in about an hour, still have a pile of US currency left and fly home tomorrow night, so might go on a spree if it's any good. I have another seven days off when I get back so can fit mucho gaming in!

A shop full of **** games in even ****ter condition, total waste of a trip. Only things of any note were some sealed lynx games at $5 each, and they had a couple of those retron 5 consoles that worked out about ?85 new. Was going to just grab one in case someone wanted one, but wasn't sure anyone would. I asked if they maybe had a nice boxed SNES tucked away in the back, as I knew someone here would want that, but was told it was very rare for them to get nice boxed retro systems in stock. Utter pish!

If you want to see a real Retro games store you should check out my video I just added to YouTube. http://youtu.be/3jkXgwr3nRc

More PC Engine love this week.



Super CD-ROM - Slime World
Super CD-ROM - Ray Xanber III (Quite possibly the finest shooter on the system and that's saying something!)
Arcade CD-ROM - World Heroes 2
Super CD-ROM - Cho Ainiki
Super CD-ROM - Macross 2036
Super CD-ROM - Psychic Storm
CD-ROM - Wonder Boy III Monster Lair
CD-ROM - L.Dis
Hu-card - The Ninja Warriors
Hu-card - Cadash
Hu-card - Final Soldier

That's it for PC Engine buys for a while I think. I must have spent a small fortune on PC Engine stuff in the last month. Ray Xanber III didn't help either. Man, that is not cheap.

I dread your posts in here, Yakumo, you always have so many shiny shinies.

I have a real soft spot for The Ninja Warriors. Maybe it's from being wowed by the triple-screen arcade cab as a kid.

A potential Battle of the Ports, maybe?

[Baseley09]

Urrrgh supreme haul Yakumo well jel always wanted to get that Macross game.

[Yakumo]

@Quality Chimp. Indeed, there will be a Ninja Warriors BOTP in the future. Maybe in 3 shows time. I've never actually seen the arcade machine

Baseley09, be careful when buying the Macross game because there's two of them. One is a strategy game which you don't want. The one I bought is good but the SFC Macros game by Winkey Soft is still the ultimate Macross shooter IMO.

Yakumo that is a lot of retro awesome, I'm halting on the PCE stuff since I have to source it all from eBay (turbo everdrive turned up the other day so that'll keep me going til a Japan trip)

[Yakumo]

PC Engine is a very dangerous console to own. After checking out World Heroes 2 I instantly went on to Yahoo Auctions and bought myself Art of Fighting (660 yen with shipping) too. I wonder if it has the zooming screen? I love that game despite it being a bit cack as far as 1 on 1 fighters go.

[Colin]

It doesn't exactly zoom, it just jumps in and out of near and far views. A bit jerky really, but when you consider the system it's on I still think it's impressive, the SNK games on the PC-Engine were great in my opinion. Nice to see people picking up stuff for the system, I still keep an eye on what's for sale out there and it seems to me that prices are going insane, it would cost an absolutely ridiculous amount to rebuild the collection I had at my peak.

[yesteryeargames]

Picked up can anyone tell me what the games are as in not familiar with the labels and I can't read Japanese, all I can spot is shining force and royal blood , vermillion ect
Are any of them worth anything ?
