:thumbsup: ah, yes. the memories come flooding back from the time I saw it in a store whishing I was rolling in money :-)Originally Posted by ave
Mh, that thought never occured to me actually. I've got a picture of the back that I saved years ago when I first saw it on Yahoo.

Could someone clear up for me what this is?... Looks like a fighting stick of some sort, with a screen, and a coin drop in (or what it's called in english).

a pachinko controller for Aruze Ookuke 7
Pachislot actually. I wasn't aware Hori made that kind of controllers, but since it's a "PRO"-model, I guess it must be high quality like their PRO-series arcade sticks. Looks like a nice piece of hardware, at least in terms of Pachislot. ^_^
<- can someone please make this as a repro and sell it so me?
Have no idea what a pachislot or a pachinko controller is?:redface:
Pachinko is a bit like pinball but with loads of balls and gambling thrown in. Big in Japan. "Virtual" pachinko has been around for decades, there are plenty of SNES pachinko games. Hence the controllers for those games, for many platforms. No surprise they never made it to the West.
Ahh, sounds very odd to me:)
You and me both mate. I threw in a SFC pachinko game once when I was buying from Play-Asia or Lik-Sang... can't remember, but it was a couple of quid and new old stock. Bunch of balls go up, then trickle down and get you points. I hope it's more exciting when you win things as it bored the crap out of me within minutes.
Everything you could ever want to know about pachinko: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachinko
Pachinko is a lot like the game you can play on the streets of Hong Kong in Shenmue II. You throw in a ball on top of a field and hope that it'll hit a certain area or hole on the board.
Pachislo(t) is more like a one-armed bandit.
Ahh, so that's what it is, still incredibly stupid game IMHO. Just as stupid as some of the new prize games by sega that's starting to come here in Denmark. Amongst others there's a shooting game, which in itself is a walk in the park, but to make it a viable business sega has built in the possibility to adjust how unprecise the shots fired should be. Never have I felt as stupid, as when I fed that sucker with coins:DOH:
In my opinion games and gambling should be kept apart, but it's of course a nice compromise, when gambling is prohibited, as in Japan.
I'm embarrassed to say, but I've never completed the first Shenmue, and therefor haven't played the sequel:redface:
But after reading the wiki, I now know what it is and conclude, that I haven't really been missing out;-)

Gimmick for Famicom.
You don't see this one everyday, and it's in pristine condition. Great game anyway, although if you just want to play it there's the cheap Sunsoft compilation for PlayStation.
Dreamcast Nadeshiko version ended at 40.509 yens...
not that I was interested :)

Never seen that before, weird there's no pictures of the actual unit, or any other box contents:shrug:
It's just a cardboard slipcase with a regular orange Dreamcast box inside. I'm not sure if the game is included, but it's not a coloured Dreamcast or anything like that, just the white standard model.
That box was apprently sold at Sofmap in Akihabara as far as I can understand the description. They often sold exclusive bundles, Megami Tengoku II PC-FX gentei bundle comes to my mind.
Ahh okay, thanks for the info.
Just like the slipcase on my PS3 box, sold in Denmark just before the end of 60gb stock, features covers of Motorstorm and RFOM.
Inside the regular 60gb box with a broken seal and the games threw in plus an additional sixaxis in bubblewrap.
biohazard things are so expensive. I have seen this limited edition dreamcast is used, and sold 200,000 yen, about 2,500 dollars, 1,800 euros
I've got loads 360 shooters up on Yahoo if anyone is interested. I could also bid for you since I have 2 accounts :thumbsup:

Likely way too late in the day for anyone here to nab. Shame, really hard to find title, and a great price too!

I was taking part to this auction but i finally found it through an other way.
The final price was definitly cheaper than what i used to see in the past.
