If that's the yujin gashapon, I have that mini Fami.
Its the true Contra. Stuff is for serious action gamers for real.
So Classic Game Fest in Austin is 2 weeks away, anyone aside from me going?
Think Dragon Warrior II for Adventure Island 3 is a fair trade?
I guess really Really long stages has always been a compile thing.
I'd never heard of it but checked it out and it's great!Heavy Barrel featured on the recent video from the Cinemassacre-channel/AVGN, get the game while you can before the prizes explode, pretty sure there aint that many copies out there of this one.
It takes place literally across the street from my apartment, yes. I am going.
I asked in previous page somewhere. Didn't notice any replies yet.
It's going up...you can't get it for under 20 bucks anymore even though I saw it under that not too long ago.Heavy Barrel featured on the recent video from the Cinemassacre-channel/AVGN, get the game while you can before the prizes explode, pretty sure there aint that many copies out there of this one.
Yep, I did see your reply a few pages back. That is pretty cool you live right across the street *lol* I'm still not expecting too much out of the convention this year even though it is going to be double the size. There's going to be more vendors but it seems like a lot of them aren't going to be selling more games, they are going to be selling game-related items.

So jelly.Finished another set that has taken years after finally getting a decently priced copy of Rockman 1. Still $100 but that's unfortunately a bargain for it these days.
The set:
I've been playing it as well, and hmm, never thought about that.Played a bunch of Zanac today. You can see the Compile formula all over it, from the way you get numbered powerups, the speed at which the game scrolls, even the bullet patterns feel similar, and it has the same sort of extra life jingles. Made playing feel super familiar, despite my never having played it before.
However, the game's missing something that makes it fun, though I haven't been able to put my finger on exactly what it is. There's no real give to make the player feel like they're having a good time. It's just constant action, and at times, overwhelmingly so. I thought someone in here said, or maybe I read it on Wikipedia, that it has some kind of dynamic difficulty system? I have a feeling that's what's throwing me off. I dunno, something about it feels off regardless.
Oh man, can't believe it happened already!!!Yep, and i got mine for 10 only a week ago.

May not be the most widely applicable option but I opened it, tore out the inefficient 7805, and rewired it to run on 5v direct. Then I use a (high quality) USB power supply with a USB to barrel-jack wire. Future proof and now my Fami doesn't generate any heat!For those of you with Famicom AVs, what do you use for a power supply? I should be getting my RGB modded system back in a few weeks, and should find a nice PSU for it.
Currently, my plan is to test it using my Model 1 Genesis power brick, which I believe should work. Anyone have any other suggestions? Would be interested in ordering something pretty soon.

And with that said, I've beaten the game again, after some 20 plus years since my last complete playthrough. Playing on a CRT with absolutely zero input lag was a major factor. I was catching too many silly deaths and game overs playing on a handheld emulator with the small amount of lag throwing me off.
Replacing the AC adapter on my NES stopped the buzzing when connected displaying RGB. Crisis averted.
Nice. I just ordered some new PSUs for my Genesis (3-in-1 including Sega CD and 32x), as well as AV Famicom. Don't have the Famicom yet, but I'm hoping the new one for Sega will get rid of the last little remains of buzzing there.
Did you get the Trio from Retro Game Cave? That's the one I have for my Genesis, 32X, Sega CD combo, and it works so damn well.
I love so much about this post, including the passing on of information discovered by a great player, like the school yard days. But mostly I love the affirmation of the magic and superiority of CRT play, and the lovely scan lines in this pic!
Thanks, Mega.
Pretty amazing that two years ago Nintendo released and sold new Gamecube controllers, and now this holiday will be selling new NES controllers. For cheap!
Only catch is if we want to use them for original hardware we'd have to track down a classic controller -> NES adapter, which probably exists or will soon exist.
just gotta re-release the SNES and N64 now. nintendo pls.
Actually, I bought the one from these guys based out of France: http://en.retrogamesupply.com
Looks kinda like a laptop cable, so you have to provide your own wall plug, but who doesn't have a million of those? This version has a few recommendations in the Genesis/Sega CD thread as well.
I would've bought the Sega Trio from Retro Game Cave, but it's always sold out!
