This Month's Haul - December 2013

[YellerDog]

Attaboy. The only way to shave.

[Josh]

I did it for a long time. I now shave a 3.5 x 3" section of skin, so I use an electric. On the rare occasion that I shave my whole face I break out the Fancy Blade.

Last box of Famicom games arrived before Christmas, finally got a chance to tear in.

Supersize from Namco and Jaleco. For the most part I don't care about complete games, but I'm probably going to seek out a boxed Splatterhouse and flip this one. No hurry though.



Technos was all over this (in Japan at least)



Konami and Nintendo titles





Some titles from lots I was interested in, had no clue some of the character designs from Bubble Bobble predated it.



Other lot oddities to check out



Boxed games, most picked as cheapies. Labyrinth was a interesting surprise, liked the movie when I was a kid.



And a few Mega Drive titles

Damn, that's a nice haul.

I'm guessing those oversized Namco carts won't fit in a domestic NES with an adapter or without taking the plastic off the games. I was originally planning on just doing the adapter thing for imports but with some larger cartridge casings and some games with fancy sound chips not able to run properly, I might need to get an actual Famicom.

My Boxing Day sale old-school haul isn't as impressive but I was still happy to get these for $40 -

Galactic Attack (SS)
Military Madness (TG)
Detana Twinbee (PCE)
Shanghai II (Gen)
Wildsnake (SNES)
36 Great Holes Golf (32X)
Streets of Rage (GG)
Ecco: The Tides of Time (GG)
Aladdin (GG)

The Namco ones fit, the Jaleco not quite. I'm thinking a Famicom is in order as well (converters are a pain in general) just waiting to see how the latest Retron revision pans out.


Love Twinbee PCE, nice port even with loss of detail.

lol Golf Magazine Presents Fred Couples's 36 Great Holes

I'm trying to work myself up into a frenzy and then buying a Sharp Twin Famicom. It's gonna happen soon.

Christmas present to myself! (someone else's pic, too lazy to get camera)

[A Robot Bit Me]

Whoa!

[MechDeus]

Approved.

[Tain]
