    Not really. I've picked up a bunch of MVS carts on the cheap (only two of mine are pricey - Blazing Star and Sengoku 3 - the rest I've picked up for under $10 each). I've gotten a few Naomi games quite cheap as well. There aren't as many PCB deals to be had as cabinet deals, unfortunately.

    Just got Valis 2 and 4 in the mail. I bought both for under $25, so not a bad deal.

    The bleach didn't damage the blues, writing, etc of the shells? I like the white pce hardware, but it seems NEC went cheap w/ the plastics. So many of them yellow badly.

    Yeah on the MVS... Even complete kits seem to go for very reasonable prices. Ah japan... stores where you can just walk in and buy arcade software/hardware. Man!

    The design turned out fine, I'm not sure I recall, but I think I spread vaseline on the grey area where all the writing is before setting it in the bleach.

    Here's a link worth checking out.

    That's what I did for my Duo R controller. it too was once yellowed.
    Any idea of how to get rid of the yellowing on a grey Saturn?

    Yeah the guy I used to buy japanese cabinets from would tell me how much he'd get them for in his trips to Japan to acquire stock. Doesn't help when I know what he's charging me. He also imported skylines too. His warehouse was a tiny little universe of all things awesome.


    .
    I found a Street Fighter 2 Turbo PCB for 10,000yen (about $100) for sale near me. I think is was Super Turbo... it might've been CE' for all I know. It's still for sale, AFAIK. I'll check again next time I'm in the shop that had it. I don't know much about PCBs. The kit seemed to include the game board, a 2-player joystick and I think a bunch of labels. I'm not really sure what an arcade kit is supposed to include, but it looked pretty cool. I might be off somewhat on the price and version of SFII, but it definitely was cheaper than I thought it would be.

    It's ok. You posted a pic of the white PCE with Salamander in it. I'm happy.

    I've loved that game since I first played Life Force on the NES in 1988 or '89. I don't remember exactly. My friends and I abused the Komami code so much in that game. Lots of people loved Contra, but I'll take Life Force any day. Contra still rocks, though... just not as much as Life Force.

    My first game purchases in months, really. I've gotten selective in my old age instead of buying any old thing.

    I got two art books - one for Okami and the other for Persona 4:


    Also, got two steps closer to finishing my Bandai Vectrex collection! Boxed/complete Starhawk and Hyper Chase (both R9s):

    Just picked up Final Fight Revenge and Capcom Generations 1, 2 an 4 for Saturn off eBay. I know Revenge is awful, but, even though it's not cannon, it takes place in the Street Fighter universe. It's also kinda hard to come by.

    The Capcom Generations were picked up to complete the set and they were in a lot for a decent price. Just need 3 now, already had 5 of course.

    Next two Saturn imports I'm going after are Elevator Action Returns and Crows. Anyone got either for sale?

    I've been back for a few days from my vacation to Tokyo and finally got over my jet lag. So I figured it was time to post photos of the games I bought.


    One of my main wants were some PC Engine games. I got a pretty good haul, but did pass on a few I wanted since I didn't want to spend all my vacation cash on games. It was really hard to set limits on myself since your like a kid in a candy store in these game stores in Akihabara. It's pretty overwhelming to say the least.


    Another goal of mine was to fill some holes in my Puyo Puyo/Madoh Monogatari collection. While these do turn up online sometimes, I've had a hard time finding complete copies. I found just about everything I was looking for too. I really need to post some photos of my Puyo collection one of these days.


    I also found a PC-FX for a good price and ended up grabbing it even though I didn't think I was going to buy many systems this trip.


    Another thing I definitely wanted to come home with was a AV Famicom. That way I can play my Famicom games in comfort with standard US controllers with nice long cords. It did end up coming with a couple Japanese dogbones with the short cords though. The Densha De Go controller, the Famicom games, and Frame Gride were all found in the discount "Junk Boxes" of different stores I visited.


    Only Einhander and Devil's Crush were games I specifically wanted, the rest all came from the ever friendly and awesomely cheap Junk Boxes. I've been wanting to try out the Gundam Side Story games since they are compatible with the Virtual On twin sticks. For 100 yen a pop who could refuse?


    I didn't intend to buy a Super Famicom system or games, but they were cheap and extremely plentiful so I finally caved in. I also grabbed some games from various Junk Boxes and discount bins. I think the complete games were 250 yen, while the loose ones were 50 to 300 yen each. The Super Gameboy was around 900 yen.


    I also grabbed a Rockman 20th Anniversary Complete Works art book, and a MGS4 iPhone case at the Apple Store. I didn't know there were MGS iPhone accessories. Pretty cool!

    I also grabbed a bunch of gaming and anime t-shirts from the Uniqlo UT store in Harajuku. Puyo Puyo, Street Fighter, Xevious, PaRapper, Densha De Go, Sonic, etc all for 990 yen each. Once they are out of the laundry I'll post some pics if anyone is interested.

    I hadn't noticed that before. It's nice to see a local on here! For sure, maybe we can raid the Goodwills and Allieds sometime over beers.

    I put the stuff I was most worried about getting beat up in my carry on and put the rest of it in my luggage. Both my wife and I brought a second bag along which made bringing everything home much easier. We brought back a bunch of other stuff besides games too.

    This is my first post here so I thought I'd share my most recent AND FIRST import title ever. I bought SPRIGGAN for PC Engine CD-ROM2. This is one seriously cool shmup!
