Nice! I'm not a big fan of the ps1, but am jealous of Einhander and Tobal no1. Also, Bloody Roar 2 is one of my favorite fighters, best one in the series IMO.


Yea this makes my second copy of Einhander and Saga Fronties, but they were in good condition.

Been at Arcade Expo 2011 all day. Mostly playing games, but here's what I picked up.

The Qix marquee is actually a glass one. Admittedly I'm not a Moon Patrol superfan, but I've always loved the artwork on the marquee. I should probably make them into nerdy lamps. Two shirts. The Yellowbeard is a CED, not a laserdisk. It is completely useless to me as a movie, but I picked it up for the novelty since it is full of Monty Python members.

I've got a friend that was there. Sounded pretty cool, but most of the people I know were at the Twin Galaxies Festival which sounded way cooler. Wish I could've gone to either of 'em. :(

US$4 is awesomenessasaurus. Did it all work fine? Any bad scratches? Did you also find hookups and controllers in the junk bin?

I'm sure you'll find some decent CD games around for cheap. Sonic CD, Final Fight, Bari-Arm, Musha Aleste (whatever the MCD version of Robo Aleste is called), Soul Star, Silpheed and even the MCD version of Earnest Evans are all cool games you need. None should be much higher than 2000yen in any shop, if you look around (or 105yen if you luck out in junk bins!).

I think there were only maybe 18 32X games released in Japan. The 32X versions of Virtua Racing, Space Harrier and After Burner are all very nice, and I find them better than the Saturn versions since there is no load times on them.
