February 2010 Finds

What's so special about the import version of X4? SAR?

The JPop was removed in the US releases of X4, and the English voices aren't exactly great. I'm noticing a ton of little details that seem better in the original, like the "Ready!" voice. I'm not sure why something like that was redubbed, since it's in English to begin with! The localization of X4 never struck me as amazing, so playing the original is just something I've always wanted to do.

I have the US PC version of X3, which is a port of the Saturn/PSX versions. Sound effects and overall audio seem better on the Saturn version, and the JPop is intact. There's also sidebars that change from level to level, possibly to compensate for a different pixel aspect ratio (?), while the PC version went fullscreen just fine.

Super Adventure Rockman was never released outside Japan.

Yeesh, 50% of the finds on these threads are from Half Price Books. I'm jealous that there aren't any down here.

Kicked off the month with an R7 (and it's a game I've wanted for some time):

PlayStation:
In The Hunt (longbox, complete with foam block) - $9.95

I've been to one Half Price Books, but it's up in Ohio. Doesn't do me any good here in Florida.

...did you really pay $8 for Barbie on Xbox? Please tell me it's some kind of little-known rare title.

Cool, I have the same game and never knew it was an R7. It's worth searching for too, great game!

I'm glad I found a longbox copy - to me, it stands out a little more than a jewel case (and looks cooler).

Wasn't aware that game was an R7, I guess I need to pick it up from a store that has a copy. It'll go nice with my Saturn copy.


I did a little thrifting today, a lot of driving around but not a lot of finds to show for it. Most of these were from a couple Movie Trading Companies, the copy of Pitfall II was from an actual thrift. They had a bunch of other Atari games, but I was on my last couple bucks because I kept forgetting to go to the damn ATM. Besides, I already had the other games, even though they weren't all that common.

The weird "Cars of Fury" box was something I picked up in a thrift for $3.99. It's a Mac-compatible game with an included USB analog controller shaped like a race car to play the game with. It's pretty rare for me to come across any Macintosh games in the wild, so I bought it to see if it sucks or not.

Leave that In the Hunt for me man. I know the store in Ft Worth that you are talking about. That is my turf

Both of you guys need to be slapped upside the head with a wet trout! Even a lowly Wacoan like me knew that In the Hunt on PSX is an R7!


Pffft... Silly DFW/Metroplex guys

Alright, man. I don't really need it, I'd just like to pick it up for when it's harder to find years from now when I start getting interested in collecting for the Playstation. At the moment, I'm not a PS1 kind of guy.

Thanks, I didn't really know too much about the comics. I only found the first issue at a thrift store so I picked it up(I also got a couple of Batman: The Animated Series comic books at the same time). I should note that the comic series came out before the SatAm TV series did, there's an advertisement to look out the TV show "coming this fall", or something like that.

I'll look into the archives, I still think it would be pretty expensive to get all the archives as they come out as there's a lot of issues in the series. I really don't know how many archives would need to be made to get caught up to date with the recent issues.

[Flashback2012]

Great price on that Return Fire. That game is excellent. I play it every now and again and pick the tank just to hear Mars: Bringer of War by Gustav Holst playing in the background.

today's finds

YOU BOUGHT BARBIE HORSE ADVENTURES?!?

May I ask why?

[DigitalSpace]

(Instantly thought about that strip and couldn't resist.)

[wingzrow]

YOU BOUGHT BARBIE HORSE ADVENTURES?!?

May I ask why?

Because it sells for 3 times what I bought it for, that's why. Don't ask me why, I really don't care. All that matters is it sells for around $30 on ebay.

Wow barbie horse adventures really dropped in price too, it used to be worth about $50-$60 a year or two ago.

That was the range for a sealed/new copy. I don't recall CIB ever going for that much.

Sonic the Hedgehog #1

Nice finds. Is that really a #1? I have a #1 but it has a different cover.
