[Xexyz]

not the greatest finds but hey its stuff:



the ps1 controller has me a little confused, when the ps1 was first released my friend bought the system with toshinden and two sony brand joysticks that were the EXACT same controllers, however these ones clearly say ascii on them, is there any interesting story behind this?

That is the official PS1 stick. ASCII manufactured them, and Sony licensed them as the official stick, kind of like how they license the Hori sticks (JPN only) for the PS2. It's a decent stick IMO, especially since the joystick uses arcade switches.

And btw, what's your opinion on the 6-button Genny controller? I have both the 3-button and the 6-button official controllers, and while I prefer the sticks throw on the 6-button one over the 3-button one (it has a wider range), the face buttons are utter shit.

hmm but that doesn't quite explain why theres one that says sony and then the one i just got says asci and doesn't have "sony" on the connnector, if I can find my old ones i'll take a picture.


as for the 3/6 button sega controllers, I don't recall having a problem with the 3 button one, but i noticed yesterday when I was playing bloodlines when i tried to whip too fast or make too many quick jumps the button would "Stick" so you couldn't press it too fast, I don't beleive the 3 button did this, but otherwise I like the stick.

my one complaint on the ps1 stick is its so CLICKY, ever try playing a fast paced action game with it ?

Yesterday I went to Gamestop and bought a used copy of MLB '06: The Show. Returned it the same day because it kept freezing on me constantly during menu changes. So I returned it and got Dragon Quest VIII. And then this afternoon on Ebay, I won a near complete (no manual) copy of Dragon Warrior VII for $16.50.

That's exactly why I like the stick. ASCII used real arcade switches for the stick, instead of crappy carbon dots that you find in the NES Advantage, Sega Genesis sticks, and all controller control pads (they're fine on controllers though).

Took a road trip to hit up some thrifts and SA. Came away with the following:

Genesis:
John Madden Football '93
Judge Dredd
NFL 95
PGA Tour Golf 2
Team USA Basketball
Truxton
Games were $2 each. All but Truxton are boxed some are missing manuals, but I've got the missing parts to make them each complete.

Dreamcast system & controller - $5

The SA really came through for me.

Saturn:
Earthworm Jim 2
Guardian Heroes - Loose - Price $1.00 Even though it's not complete I'm quite happy finally finding the game itself. Both games were buried in a box among the books. What caught my eye was the end of a PSX A/V cord sticking out of the box. So I decided to see what was lurking in it. Glad I did.

Playstation:
5 Lightspan games. All loose.

Flea Market..

Vendor I know had a pile of around 30 PS2 games and PS games..$2.00 each if I bought the lot..It would of cost me $60.00
I didn't feel like spending $60.00 bucks.,most of the PS titles I have already...As I was looking through the games a guy walks up and asks how much for the two PS2 games (that I have in the picture)..Vendor says $5.00 each but noted that they may be sold to me....
......I told the guy wanting to buy them to go ahead and take them,that I'm not going to buy any..The guy only wanted to pay $1.00 each for the PS2 titles though..(how about $1.00 each)..I looked at the vendor with a laugh and the vendor said F him,he's crazy..
I leave,I think it over,come back and grab those two PS2 games and a PS title for $12.00..(none of the discs have any scratches on them and I don't own them already)
