Raycrisis PSX, finally have all 3 Ray games in 1 form or another, a Taito G-Net game in arcades, they had to cut it down to 1 player only for the PSX version.

Star Ten Billion? That the "Billion Barrel" puzzle? Whatever you do, DON'T mix that up, as it's damn near impossible to solve, unless you have the James G. Nourse book "The Simple Solutions to Cubic Puzzles"...

[importaku]

Yeah it's the same puzzle as the billion barrel, nintendo just updated the shape for club nintendo. I had a quick play with it but i didn't mess it up too much as i know it's never going back if i get it too mixed up lol

[Steve W]

I picked up Gunstar Heroes for the Game Gear at the Oklahoma Video Game Expo.

[Bloodreign]

Went out for a regular game hunt today, came home with a fresh from the wild Rockman Complete Works 5 in very nice shape minus spine card. I almost missed it, then the guy who owned the Game Over (who has some stiff prices, but good lord, the selection of retro games is phenomenal) almost didn't want to sell it but hoard it instead. He remembered me from his days at Play N Trade and knew I go in with guns blazing, so he sold it to me for $30. First of the series on the PSX to just be stumbled upon, a nice nice find.

[Lord Contaminous]

Another day I've waited for for a LOOOONG time.

I picked up a loose Undeadline for the Mega Drive at a local game shop for $6.95. It's the kind of shop that refuses to sell the box with the game. :angry:

[buzz_n64]

Finally bought Wrecking Crew '98 for the Super Famicom. :) I've been wanting that title for a long time, and I finally found one at a reasonable price point of $34 total. I'm closer to my dream of owning every platform style Mario game.

[nensondubois]

Gimmick! (Famicom CIB Excellent condition... $250)
The Mahjong Tohaiden Complete 4$ and $11 for shipping (This game usually goes for $150 complete:-D)
Pro Powerful Yakku 94 and 93 Complete from same seller of Mahjong Tohaiden
SF Memory Cart with Wrecking Crew 98 ($25 plus an unreasonable shipping charge. I want to write games to this flash cart, so I don't have to spned ridiculous money and/or use donor carts on an expensive flash cart)
Alleyway Game boy (The picture was misleading as I thought the cart was the Nintendo Power Color version :( )
A few other things I'll list when I get them.

[buzz_n64]

Nice find, complete in box or cartridge only?

Cartridge only, a boxed one goes for at least double that. I like having boxes, but they're not necessary. (limited space)

[PSony]

Last Blade and Samurai Spirits RPG for PS1.

Last Blade seems to actually be an Asian version. However, the instructions are entirely Japanese, despite what the back of the case says.

Is there a list or site anywhere of Asian PS1/PS2 releases?

[fahlim003]

Boxed copies can go for that much too just not often or outside of Yahoo Japan. Agreed in full on the box non-essential point.

Hey PSony, I might have an answer regarding the missing instructions. I recently found an Asian version of Brave Fencer Musashi, and it came with a Japanese instruction manual, and a seperate bilingual manual in English/Chinese. So maybe the previous owner of the Last Blade lost the second manual.

Payed $66.00 at bin cib for the xe-pro 1 he pce joystick.It is one of the best you can get stock that,or the hori fighter joystick for the pce.Though i've seen some fans build there own pce joysticks that do look sweet.

Bought these at a Movie Trading Company store today. Left behind a different Dragonball game, that one priced at $9.99. I like finding imports in the wild, just not enough to blow ten bucks on a Dragonball game that I'll never play since I haven't got the slightest amount of interest in either Dragonball or fighting games in general.

Recent imports:

Parasol Stars (PCE) - complete

[Brianvgplayer]

Devil World, Nekketsu Katukou Densetsu, Twinbee III, and Rolling Thunder arrived recently, all for Famicom. unfortunately, i broke my wrist (and my right one, the one I write with, to too) roller skating before the latter two arrived. I just had surgery, but it will take some time to recover and I have to wait a couple days for the smaller cast.

[Zama]

Since this game is from another region, I think it deserved a post in this topic ^w^

I haven't seen many copies of this PAL version carrying this special sleeve from HMV so it was worth adding this to my collection :lovin:

[nensondubois]

2 unopened new copies of Nekketsu Beach volleyball (not sure if Game boy games were ever factory sealed with wrapping in Japan), THe Mahjong tohaiden SFC Complete for practically nothing for what it is known to go for, Mario & Wario complete, Mario no Super Picross complete, Pro Mahjong Kiwame GB complete, DX Mahjong Kiwame II Gamecube complete and Neugier complete SFC.

Got a bunch of stuff, but this is my personal highlight and win of the day: a super clean JPN SFC repro of the officially unreleased "Knightmare Busters". Not 100% sure, but I think I was bid warring against the "infamous" adol for this one... haha

[StealthLurker]

No idea. Heard about the coming repro, but most likely the packaging would be US style (which is fine). However since I mostly collect japanese boxed games nowadays, this one was more up my alley. Came across it while casually looking for those all-in-one CRT TV + super famicom units.

This is a fairly lacklustre affair, especially compared to the improvements made in Astro Boy Omega Factor (US/Europe). I cannot see a reason why anyone would get this version over Omega Factor, unless it's for a collection. Omega Factor is also cheaper so my advice get that in the future if you find TA to not be too interesting.

[Nico87]

Yeah, I've heard the same, but I refuse to believe that the US/EU version is THAT much better. I won the JP version in an auction, and $9.99 is a good enough deal for me. Besides, I'm only getting US versions of games that I really need in english, like the Summon Night games, Final Fantasy VI Advance, DemiKids, and some others.

[Yukima]

gahhhh... I haven't been back here in AGES!! ^^;

I think I've imported so much stuff in the past 2-ish months I've been away from this forum, I can't remember it all!!

These were from Nekocon last month:

AV Famicom
Cat Ninden Teyandee (Famicom)
Macross 2036 (PC Engine CD)

I'm also in the process of getting a boxed Satellaview unit for the SFC (yay!!) ...and wondering whether I should bid on a boxed copy of Famicom Tantei Club II on YHJ (a SFC Nintendo Power memory cartridge!)

I've wanted to own the Japanes version but have since been talked out of it. You can still get it of course, but many consider the western release the definitive version. (From the gameplay perspective, at least.)

Thats not a bad price, especially considering the system by itself can go for $100-150. I'm always on the look out for one in the wild but I've only seen two TG16 games in the last five years and no systems so I doubt the Japanese versions will be popping up anytime soon. It would be nice though.

[SparTonberry]

Terra Cresta (Famicom version). $10 loose seems like a good price. More than the NES version on amazon, but the NES version appears to have wrong-sounding music. :P (comparing the FC ROM to both the NES ROM and a youtube video that appears to be captured from a real NES)
Artelius (FC with first-person shooting battles). Last time I tried to buy this the seller responded the cart was damaged. Hopefully not this time. :)

I'm assuming it was shipped from within your country, not from Japan?
