My collection (everything)

**Breetai** · 06-10-2009

Is most of this stuff coming from Hard-Offs? I've got 4 locations near me, and not one of them has this much quality PCE stuff. All I ever see is F1 Circus, Fire Pro, Momotaro Densetsu games, baseball games and the other usual stuff. Only one of the Hard-Offs near me ever has more than that, but it's not much more. In a couple years... I've seen one PCE system there, a CIB Duo for 5000yen which is now mine, one CGII coloured controller, and a the usual assortment of PCE games that nobody wants. That's aside from the 2 worthwhile games I found; Poping World (CD) and Twinbee.

Likewise, I rarely come across any decent Mega Drive stuff.

GC & GBA Player for 10 bucks. bought it only for playing GBA games on TV :)

My Homebrew Channel on the Wii is currently taking care of that for me. I usually just play Astroboy: Omega Factor on it anyway. I love that game.

yeah..most of the stuff is coming from hardoffs and other recycle stores i occasionally visit with my bicycle, but not so the decent pce stuff i have. altough here and there i found a good pce haul as the new records of lodoss war taikenban mook i found the other day for 5 bucks. here and there i also find some cheap bomberman '93 or '94 as well r-types, beside the usual rejected stuff which nobody likes to own (as described from you above).
good MD stuff is rare. lately i find more good markIII stuff than good MD.

in which regions hard off do you visit?

OMG! YOU ARE MY GOD!!!
I love this insane PCE stuff an ofcourse, the sega digioXD!
How much did you spent 4 it?

**Jamtex** · 06-14-2009

The Sega Digio is a fun little camera, although I also have the PC kit so I can vaguely use it (for it's QVGA images....).

Hard Off stores vary a lot in what they have, In the last three months, I've been to over 30 of them on bike (and cycled in excess of 2000km in doing so), although I normally find something worth buying in one of them. They don't have a central price structure as you can find things varying a lot in price, one shop sells Gamecubes with PSU for Y500 whilst another sells them for Y1500, another sells PSOnes with pad, AV cable, Power lead for Y500 and another wants to charge Y2500... games vary too some sell games for peanuts whilst others charge prices that would make Super Potato look like Bargain city.

Especially loving the first two pictures of your room. When looking at them I just want to lie down right there in front of it, rolling right and left drooling and ejaculating.

Well maybe not the last two, sticky Hardware is no fun.

I like to think that would be my hotel room in a case where I'd be filthy rich to afford buying all that in a month or two of vacation, lol.

How come they called the 3DO Samurai Spirits Samsho in Japan?

And BTW, your room looks so classically overcrowdedly Otaku-style Japanese, it's amazing. That's probably a compliment to you :110:

But how can you live with all that stuff on top of your shelf? Aren't there lots of smaller earthquakes in the Kanto area?

I wish I could find good MarkIII stuff! I found a MarkIII system online for 3000yen I think, which looked like a good deal to me. I'd have bought it, but I never see games for it unless I go to Akihabara where they're always overpriced.

I think I've been to every Hard-Off in southern and western Saitama. Best finds was my boxed PCE Duo, boxed Neo Geo, and Neo Geo CD front loader. Each in the 5000yen range. Dentana! Twinbeee on the PCE was 105yen at a Hard-Off. A good deal on that game! There's a Bare Knuckle II near me for 1000yen... but I haven't bought it becasue I keep thinking I'm going to see it for under 500yen eventually.

One of the Hard-Offs in my area has Yoshi's Island for 4200yen (WTF!?!?!). Another one, about a 30min bike ride away, had it for 300yen. Guess which one I bought. If you want a Super Street Fighter 2 PCB/2-player stick setup, a Hard-Off near me has it for 21,000yen. A great deal! It's got component hook-ups, so you can plug it into a regular TV and play. I'm always tempted to pick it up... but... I'm afraid of my wife. :D

Lots of small ones, but they aren't so bad. I never have stuff fall, and I've got stuff on top of shelves. It has to be a really big earthquake to knock stuff over. Big enough that it will make international news. I've only ever felt one earthquake in 4 and a half years of living in the area that was big enough to knock stuff off a shelf. Fukuoka in March 2005. My first weekend in Japan and I felt the biggest earthquake I've ever felt in my life. Welcome to Japan!

ah lol..yeah. dunno why. i guess since most of the soft came from america rather than japan directly, so they brought it back to japan as kind a american product.

i know about the room style, and i have to change it soon. probably will put all things into the wardrobe and just leave the 3~4 main systems outside hookec up.
