I got a studio monitor for free works perfect, it's the Sony pvm-2030 :love2:. Only minor cosmetic damage :thumbsup:. And a got a 'broken' ps2 (for 15$) slim to replace my old and (actually) broken ps2. I just needed clean the lens, and it works flawlessly too! :-)

Please let me know what you think to bullet soul, as it's been given a rather savage review...

Yeah, it's getting slagged but i don't know why. I love it. Think of it as a 16bit shooter with modern graphics. It really does remind me of batsugun.

After many problems with my post office:

Um, I thought 'バレット' was pronounced 'buritto', which would be pretty close to the surname Bullitt. Saying '弾丸' (dangan) would be just wrong. Or am I misinterpreting what you said?

'バレット' is pronounced "baretto". Buritto would be ブリット like on the movie poster of Steve McQueen's "Bullitt".

I'm not saying they are supposed to translate all the foreign names to the Japanese counterpart (like in France... where it ends up sounding ridiculous sometimes! :p), a correct katakana-form isn't the most difficult thing in the world.

Zeneraru sounds awkward. Maybe they want to avoid "hybrids" that are unusual in actual Japanese as much as possbile, like ジェ? They rarely use the un-Japanese "Va" for "Virtual" either, but sometimes it happens.

Beavis & Butthead Virtual Stupidity:


Also Virtual Hydlide and some other games. Maybe the Western companies translated those on their own?

Ah, yes - good point. I read it off the poster, and then copypasted what you typed without paying attention. :-P

Some genny controllers, multitap, power plug, and a GGear.



The games are from a lot of random games I bought long ago and were coming in in parts, this is the last part of that lot.

Flash Back.

Persevere with this one, it's a gem.

[graciano1337]

Been gettin' into SNES stuff lately. These two came in the mail today.

Had it for the amiga when I was about 6/7 but found it too difficult. Looking to give it another shot now. MD conversion looks fantastic.

[3do]

Just picked up Lotus Challenge 2 and Skidmarks for the amiga even though i don't have one right now. I used to love the intro music in Lotus Challenge 2 when my dad had an amiga back in the day.

Now all i need to do is find Formula One Challenge, lemmings, the settlers and lombard RAC rally then i'll have all the Amiga games i can most remember playing as a kid. will need to get an amiga to play them on eventually.

[Alchy]

Contra 3, aww yeah. Love that game.

[Jackhead]

Bought today this on ebay: Saturn PsyQ Kit, a real bargain :drool::

pretty much 99% exactly like the usa version. only a splash screen and occasional text in Japanese. this game is so amazing. too bad the controls suck.

[sayin999]

Honestly if you want a good Japanese version to get a of a us game shadows of the empire is one, better camera and item placement, and a very easy mode.

Got some dreamcast games this past month. Samba de amigo with maracas was probably the best score since i got it for a really good price with shipping. Plus it is the US version of the maracas which is even better. Also got capcom vs snk, daytona 2001, and tokyo xtreme 2. I think I might get an official dreamcast steering wheel for these two.
