Thanks! Unfortunately, once I cleaned it all up and turned it on, I discovered the right paddle has that glitch old analogue paddle controllers have where it gets super jittery onscreen. Left paddle is fine tho so maybe it just needs tinkering.
Weirdly enough, it can take D batteries to power it, or you can plug it into the wall with a “battery extender”(what they called an ac adapter back then).
Do you have a photo before it was cleaned? It looks great though - I’ve always been fascinated by the materials used back then, that sort of craftsmanship must have been hard to produce at scale back then, which correlated with the lower unit sales from the period.
Was randomly looking for Japan-only Saturn games and stumbled across this. I don’t know anything about it so it should be a fun discovery.
Received the remainder of the parts I was waiting for to complete my NESRGB. Installing this week hopefully!
Awesome, good luck with it! My NES RGB mod has been my favorite project in this hobby so far. Careful desoldering the PPU!
I really wish I went with NESRGB instead of the HiDefNes. Kevtris has abandoned it entirely, I wish he would just open source it at this point.
I wouldn’t say he abandoned the HiDefNes kit, he hit a point where there is literally nothing more that can be fit on the FPGA. The last update was that, and he explained it.
Yeah, but in that last update he broke existing features (FDS audio) added some useless palettes (x-ray) and got rid of interpolation. I’d be happy if he just fixed the FDS audio, added interpolation back in and fixed the palettes even if it meant removing some.
Picked up Alundra for $60 couldn’t pass on that price.
Did they do two printings of alundra? I only remember it in the fatter double disk case even though it was one disk. Fantastic game, still miss working designs.
From the look of the box I would assume someone “compressed” the game into a single disk case. The “spine” appears to be the back cover of the dual cd case it originally came in. Can tell because it is the normal backing artwork and not the standard single disk segmented artwork.
Something I’ve seen done before for PS1 games that came in 2 CD cases when they only had 1 CD.
Ah, the manual had different art from the cover art then. That’s what was messing with me because I remembered a different cover but it had the North American ESRB rating.
Yeah it’s the manual as the cover and the back of the box of the 2nd disc section as the back.
I wonder if the manual isn’t damaged. It Is really thick and hard to imagine it fitting a regular jewel case.
PS - What is your CD variant?
I bought Alundra when it first came out and it’s one of the oldest games in my backlog…I really need to fix that.
It’s the full manual no damage. Didn’t know there were disc variants, this is the one I got
Thrifting still treating me right! $40 for this N64 stuff. Needs some TLC and cleaned up but a bunch of classics. Got a PS3 and a few games + two Dual Shock 3s for another $40 too.
That’s a neat acquisition, even if “compressed” haha. Unless you absolutely care for having your games in their completest form, it was neatly done and keeps the essentials, the front and back original presentation, the manual and the game itself. And this for a fair price.
It’s a very good game but also a very tough one. You really need to take your time through the levels.
