Found these Super Famicom games growing in my garden. They looked ripe so I decided to pick them.

I found this for sale in the next province over, so I snapped it up for a decent price before they listed it on eBay.
It’s an accelerator card for my Amiga 2000. A GVP G-Force with a 68030 50mhz CPU and 8MB of RAM.

Looks like something out of Blade Runner.

That’s Hagane. Played through a handful of levels last night. Pretty cool!
So what’s the SFC version going for nowadays?

I grabbed that for $90 but it had free shipping. I got it from a US seller so I was willing to pay a premium to not have to wait for it from Japan.

Wow, what a beautiful piece. Looks like it came out of a time capsule.

Been a while since I posted. Here’s some recent pick ups!
I’ve always wanted to try some FDS games, so I picked up a Twin Famicom… love the box art!
… and picked up a few games for it. I heard good things about Joy Mech Fight so I managed to snag what has to be a NOS copy. It’s in amazing condition:
And of course some must have FDS games:
And just grabbed this - played it for an hour or so, so far so good.

Welcome back! Awesome pickup. I sold my Twin a few years ago and wish I wouldn’t have now. Such a cool looking system. A lot of people don’t realize just how many of our classics started out on the FDS.
As someone steeped in retro gaming and living through all these eras myself, my own knowledge of the Famicom Disk System is super limited. It was just totally unknown to us in the US in the NES era. No magazines I read mentioned it. Nothing.
I’ve only in the last few years become marginally knowledgeable. Same with all the Sega hardware that predates the US Master System release.
The Internet changed so much about my own knowledge of the gaming world beyond the US and I say that as someone who read a lot of gaming magazines growing up. I love that even an old man like me still has so much to learn about the formative eras of gaming even though I lived all of it.

This pickup reflects my very early importing tastes. I wanted all of the Japanese-exclusive first party Nintendo games on their original hardware. I didn’t get very far in that goal (there’s just too many games!) but I did manage to snag a CIB of Joy Mecha Fight and SMB2 (Japan). Both are excellent games.
Congrats on grabbing them and the Twin! (And congrats on getting the superior version of Metroid too.)

I teased it in another thread today but I spent a lot of $$$ the last week. I think I still got a reasonable “deal” for everything shown below…
The Sega CD was on Ebay. I made an offer before it got a bid and the seller took it. He was the only owner and it shows! It’s not mint, but it’s very nice. The box and all internal contents are excellent though. It even has all the plates! When I pushed the button to pop the lid and it was newish, I knew I had a winner.
The non-HD Graphics Genesis came with it so I wasn’t satisfied with that as its mate. I have never owned a Sega CD model 1 or 2 and never owned a Genesis Model 2. As some may know, @Danexmurder is working on my Sega CDX so given that it seemed like the right time to rectify the Sega CD and Model 2 as a fan of this console over all others.
The Model 2 Genesis is from Complete In Box in Ephrata which I highly recommend if you are ever in the area or see them at the conventions. Spenser had them snag me the nicest one in stock. Very happy with that.
Finally, NHL ‘94 was just a decently priced pick up and I was Jonesing for early PlayStation arcade fun so that’s why Ridge Racer and Air Combat snuck in there. Asciiware controller came with the Sega CD! Another fun addition to the package. NBA Jam was thrown in that package too. Sewer Shark of course was a pack in! IIRC, UPC codes got you a rebate back then… possibly if you bought a Genesis at the same time you bought a Sega CD? Hence the many boxed Ebay listings with missing UPCs!
The Babbage’s price sticker is a cool bonus. This may be the only thing I own that came from one of their stores. I was an EB guy (management from 1993-1995).
So yeah, lots of stuff and lots of neat history here and some hardware finality for my 16-bit collection. This will get a 32X on top of it that I already own. It will be connected to a Sony KV27FS12 CRT via composite because I’m livin’ like it’s May 2000 when this CRT was new…
SEGA only pic without that Sony stuff muckin’ it up…
