Have Jags gained in value?
Have Jags gained in value?
they are sought after. so id say yes. bought a new one a few years ago for $350 I think.
Picked up a weird controller that I'd never seen before. It's a touchpad-style that is a six-button Genesis controller, but with an adaptor that's conveniently attached to the cable it can also be used as a Super Nintendo controller. $3 for this oddity.
recently picked up a 3do fz10 model with goldstar controller and cib madden, fifa, and wing commander 3 and disc only gex....then ordered a few more games....namely ssf2 turbo, way of the warrior, star control 2, blade force, those are the better ones.....also got cib hover strike on jaguar for $30
I bought a Harmony Encore cart from Atari Age during a "Covid" sale. I haven't had a chance to really play with it yet other than a test.
What totally kills me is that every game store I go into nowadays (especially Game X Change stores) have loads of 3DO titles. Back when I got my first 3DO it was next to impossible to find any games, now I can find them just about anywhere. I have to wonder exactly where all these games came from. Because every location of Game X Change I've been to in the last year (probably about ten to twelve stores) has had 3DO games in their glass counter cases. And they always cost way too much.Originally Posted by ncman071
After getting woken up early (I couldn't tell if my neighbors were doing yardwork or having a chainsaw duel) I decided to drive down to Waco, TX for the hell of it. Picked up a Wii-U game for whenever I break down and buy one, and some more PS3 games that were cheap and interesting looking, but the coolest items were these: Akai Katana (new) for the Xbox 360 for $19.99 and K-razy Antiks for the Atari 400/800 (complete) for $7.95. There was also a weird PS3 visual novel/dating sim made for women about a lady traveling with a bunch of historical samurai characters and she had to "find romance". I didn't know the PS3 had anything so utterly and completely foreign like visual novels here in the US, let alone kinds made for women. I might have bought it for the weirdness factor but just wasn't interested in paying $39.99 for it.
That'd have to be Hakuoki. It's not worth dropping $40 for the PS3 version, so I'd say that was a good call. I think you can get even the limited edition for less than that, plus there are better and cheaper versions of the game. It's not the first game of its kind to be released in the US, but it was the first otome game (games made primarily by and for women; they're usually visual novels and usually involve romance) to see a lot of success in the West and was the first English otome game on something other than PC. It first came out in English on PSP, but then it got released on PS3, 3DS, Vita, PC, and mobile too. Because of its success in the West, the genre as a whole has gotten quite a few English releases since, mostly on Vita, Switch, and PC. English releases of visual novels in general have been taking off on non-PC platforms too in recent years. They were still rare on PS3 and its contemporaries.

i remember seeing these in magazine ads, only i remember them being black and yellowPicked up a weird controller that I'd never seen before. It's a touchpad-style that is a six-button Genesis controller, but with an adaptor that's conveniently attached to the cable it can also be used as a Super Nintendo controller. $3 for this oddity.
That's a Turbo Touch 360+. The black and yellow one was the regular Turbo Touch 360, which was a 3-button controller and only worked with Genesis (though there were other versions designed specifically for the NES and SNES).
Yeah, the Turbo Touch 360+ is yellow on the Genesis - I have one someplace, bought a long time ago out of curiosity. This one is by a different company, and the dongle looped on to the cable is a big bulky adaptor that will convert it to a SNES controller. And now I'm wondering if the adaptor will convert any Genesis controller for SNES use, and how would it map the 6-button layout to the 4-button SNES.
Yesterday I went to a Movie Trading Company store and found a PS3 version of Doctor Who - The Eternity Clock. It's always weird to find European import games in the wild like this. I quickly looked up on my phone whether or not the PS3 was region-locked, and bought it. It was $39.99. I would post a picture but (a) I just bought the newe iPhone SE 2020 edition and taking a picture of the cover is giving me some really weird facial ID markings all over the image which never happened on my old iPhone, and (b) ImgBB which hosts my photos has decided to barely work so I can't upload a picture with a little box drawn around the Doctor's face that labels it FaceID:3.
Spent the day dropping by game stores on my day off, looking for oddball PS3 titles. I also ended up buying some Wii-U games, since I hardly ever see a decent collection in any game store. There's not a lot of games on the Wii-U that I really want to play, and if I come across one I know I need to grab it up because I might not see another copy for months. Anyhoo, I picked up Puppeteer, Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk. 2, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, Magus, Natural Doctrine, and Ragnarok Odyssey Ace for the PS3 (Magus and Natural Doctrine still factory sealed) and Shantae, Steamworld Collection, and Rodea the Sky Soldier for the Wii-U. And I still have not bought a Wii-U console to play those on.
never see that control only i see the 3 button version
today I found some Genesis boxes
Rocket Knight Adventure
Skeleton Krew
Shining in the Darkness
$2.99 a piece
i havent been able to find any games lately as living in a town of mostly raisins there isnt much open still and not much in the way of yard/garage sales
so i bought a 6th car:
yep... 6
i recently started buying cheap cars to tinker on over the winter. last one was a mercedes, a fairly rare but rather worthless one. Bought it non running, got it running (quite well for 320k/mi) and supposedly theres a check in the mail for it from some one in pittsburg that really wanted it. but until that gets here.... yep 6 cars
Any way
1993 Volvo 240
2.3L Injected 4 Cyl
Auto
New tires
~115k/mi (odometer broke recently)
looks like hell but its truly a "low milage" volvo
Never Garaged
Occasionally Repaired
I bought this from my work, when i started working the ODO was still working and at 90 some thousand miles, its stopped at 110k/mi and although its sat a lot since then its probably close to 115k/mi at this point
also i can do this to it!
