edit: Oh yea, new digicam too. Office Max is selling some Panasonic camera for 99.99, that is regularly 249.99. I think it's in store only until the end of the week. Might be tough to find though, I had to go to 3 stores to find one, and even then, I bought the display one. Just a heads up.

[Starcade]

uhhh...call me clueless, but what exactly is that?

[buttasuperb]

You know the game Pocket Fighters on PSX and Saturn.

This is the CPS2 arcade kit.

[Starcade]

What does CPS2 mean?

[buttasuperb]

I think it's Capcom's Play System 2

Basically you get a motherboard that each game connects to. A US motherboard can play Japanese games and vice versa. Kinda like Neo Geo MVS, but the carts are a bit bigger.

CPS1 was some of the earlier Capcom games, including all the SF's up to SF2 Turbo. CPS3 is what SF3 and a few other games are on. Here is a list of the kick ass games that are on CPS2.

Awesome link, I had no clue 19XX ran on this system, that being one of my arcade all time favorites!

[IGotTheDot]

I just see a red x. I had one of those once.

[buttasuperb]

Yea a red x is quite rare.

Anyways, the link is fixed, at least until geocities fails.

CPS2, yep, Capcom Play System 2. All the Darkstalkers/Vampire Savior games, 19XX (!!!) and some other good stuff. Strider and that sort of thing belong on the original CPS.

I would like to get one of the Vampire Savior kits myself. Still, I can appreciate a good arcade puzzle game...and this is one of them :)

Actually this is the fighting game. But I plan to get Puzzle Fighter as well, but probably not the full kit.

[Ed Oscuro]

Darn, I thought I read Puzzle Fighter, yeah, I see it now :/

Oh, and I suppose the long insert with different characters on it would be a clue. I'll blame it on being tired :p

I've never played this one, though, emulated or otherwise. Gotta check that out.

[maxlords]

Nice, Butta! Now all you have to do is rewire it so that the suicide battery won't die in 3 years

[Ed Oscuro]

Rewiring, unless they're doing it w/o solder now, is a good way to lose some value on that board. Your board, your decision...I wouldn't do it.

Oh, and I guess I'll put this up already:

Have I told you lately that you suck? :P

Ahh...enjoy that shit.

[Achika]

Can I come over and play? I'll bring my own supergun.

[Videogamerdaryll]

Sweeeeet!!!

Shows how much you know Ed,so get off my back!!

[EnemyZero]

Out of curiosity butta how much did that run you?

[buttasuperb]

Cost me 129 after shipping. I have no idea if I overpaid or not, since there is no price guide for CPS2 stuff. But, you don't see full kits every day, so I don't care if I overpaid, as this is a kick ass game. Plus the Capcom stickers will come in handy once I get a cab set up for CPS2 games, and the controls stickers I will probably use once I get around to making my own controllers for a supergun.

Can I come over and play? I'll bring my own supergun.

hehe, sure, it would be better if you brought your supergun. I have a Mas Supernova that I got relatively cheap and I only have regular video out right now, so the screen can be kinda wavy. The only way to get the S-video cable that fits the jack on the Supernova is through Mas themselves, and they can be tough to get in contact with sometimes.
