Score for today:
new NES 72-pin connector. Now installed and I can finally play games without 15 minutes of battling the console!
And also, Kirby Super Star for the SNES.
Wow, the contents of this post feel wrong to post here. Meh. Too bad.

That's why I went and bought me AV Famicom a couple of months back. I just couldn't stand that blinking NES screen anymore! The Famicom carts are much smaller and no blinking screen whenever I power it up. The NES has to be the worst re-designed Japanese console ever!Quote:

That, and unless I found a converter I'd be stuck with FC games which may or may not be in Japanese. I'd go for an NES 2, but they're RF only so no way.
Totally non-sega related, but picked up some uber cheap retro PC games...

Shining in the Darkness
Zillion
Eternal Eyes ( it was cheap)
nights (saturn) and shenmue 2 (xb)
Awesome haul, mick. Classic PC games rule. I've been trying to find a copy of Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis myself, as I've heard so much about it. The "making of" feature in Retro Gamer #51 just made me more eager to play it.
Battle Royale manga: 4-6 book $20
Azumanga Daioh soundtrack $13
I'm sure that came (in the UK anyway) on a dual format Amiga/PC disk, dunno it's been a long time!Quote:

And for 5 bucks I found this little thing. Probably not anything special to you guys but to see one randomly here in Tucson was a bit surprising. I'm almost positive it's a pirate bootleg but as its the first one I've seen in real life I could be mistaken.
Also, does this game really have no continue credits on it? It's not especially hard so far but a shmup without any credits thats unreal.
the jungle book (gen)
That is a bootleg... and that game is so simple that you don't need any credits to beat it.... at least I didn't.Quote:

Well, more non-Sega haulage. I think I'm going to have to find a new source for Genesis stuff, as the store I have been going to hasn't gotten anything new in my last 3 visits, each spaced about 2-3 weeks apart.
But other than that, they seem fine for Nintendo related stuff! They always have a different selection for those systems.
Today's haul:
NES:
Mega Man 2
Mega Man 3
N64:
Bust-A-Move 2: Arcade Edition
Star Fox 64
GB Advance:
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
All loose carts.
You might want to establish some sort of connection with the store, it's possible they might have sold some near stuff.
I've done that in the past, and have made out like a bandit.
