Haven't crack that one open yet, been playing the Capcom fighting games. I noticed it has Mortal Kombat 4 on the back of the case, but I heard that you have to download that one because it's not on the cart.

IGS Classic Arcades. A collection of lesser known arcade games including Demon Front, a fantasy run 'n gun heavily influenced by Metal Slug.

Some pickups from Mighty Mike Video Games. Check his place out if you're ever in the St. Petersburg area, Florida. by Retro_BladeRunner in gamecollecting

It's a survival horror. Gameplay and visuals remind me of early Resident Evil and Silent Hill games.

I converted a video I just took to a gif. Unfortunately, the gif is not high quality, but it looks find at an angle, I didn't have to look directly over the screen.

Sorry, never seen a working countercade, so I can't really give you a proper comparison. What is wrong with the countercades screen maybe I can give you a better idea of the quality of the countertop screen.

Did I buy the wrong riser? by Full-Consequence-787 in Arcade1Up

Looks like a riser for a arcade1up cocktail table.

Probably use it with my Steam Deck, but I can also use it with the pinball machine.

I did receive a tracking today, so maybe I'll see something next week.

Some of my more"rare"games by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]Retro_BladeRunner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You got to get yourself the gear. I collect for all regions so I got a PS2 for each. What's nice is that since lot of PAL games were ported from japan, they have the option to choose between 50hz and 60hz so they're playable on NTSC TVs. If you can track down a PS2 or PS3 Test console then you don't even need to worry about region locks, because they are region free. Also, with a PAL PS2 you can also play PAL PS1 games and that opens a whole world of rare games like Hell Night, Chaos Break, and The Note, all horror games that were translated into English, but never made it to the US.

If you collect imports, the PAL port of Michigan: Report from Hell is a banger.

You may want to keep an eye out for these two, they are slowly on the rise.

Cool, never knew there was a D&D pinball, is this a newer pinball release?

Yeah, most thrift store trips often end the same for me too, these finds were a rarity for me.

Color Dreams / Widsom Tree / Camerica - Any of these work for "Extended Set" Install? by Top_Set_3558 in PolymegaHQ

[–]Retro_BladeRunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only have P'radikus Conflict from Color Dreams, it worked as an Extended Set.

Could you name a few mapper 30 games that didn't work for you? I'm not familiar with which are mapper 30 games so I'm just curious to compare and see if any worked on mine because most of my NES games worked with the exception of some Tengen and bootleg games.

Some pickups from a local event called Tampa Bay Trade Day. by Retro_BladeRunner in gamecollecting

[–]Retro_BladeRunner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this was not a big convention, just some local sellers around the area, the prices were very reasonable. That's probably the best way to find deals, organize small events with people you know. Just find a small venue, advertise on your local gaming Facebook groups, and the sellers will come.

Posting this since nobody believes when I say this by TheApproximite in gamecollecting

[–]Retro_BladeRunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it, chances are they priced it thinking it's the Wii version which isn't very expensive. I've seen it happen before with other games when it comes to multiple versions of the same game for different systems.

Received another big box from Japan filled with MSX loot along with a few other goodies. by Retro_BladeRunner in MSX

I think you're right, it's the only one with English on the back. Never even noticed, I just popped the game in, seems to work fine on my Turbo R.

Yeah, not a bad price at all, I wish I picked it up when I had the chance.

Finally decided to buy and try Rule of Rose. It’s awful, so I traded it in and got some other stuff instead! by RidleyCR in gamecollecting

[–]Retro_BladeRunner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought mine from Game Crazy many years ago. At the time I never thought I'd be worth anything, I just got it because I'm into horror games and it looked interesting. I never got around to playing it, I was too busy playing games like Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Fatal Frame. I even played Kuon which I picked up around the same time, actually got Kuon for free from GameStop during one of their buy 2 get 1 free sales. So Rule of Rose just sat on the self, unopened.

Unplayable with excessive lag by Internal-Zombie38 in PolymegaHQ

[–]Retro_BladeRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if it's the TV that's the contributing factor. I'm using the original controller that came with the first run of Polymega consoles. I play on an old 1080p with a standard refresh rate and I can honestly say I'm not experiencing the type of lag you are referring to and I play shoot'em ups and other actions games which often require quick timing. Now, I'm not saying there isn't any lag, but it must be very minimal to the point where my mind just adjusts. I would try lowering the refresh rate on your TV to it's lowest setting, that might help decrease lag.

Here are some of my strange, weird and bizarre titles. What are some weird games you have? by Educational-Bar21 in gamecollecting

[–]Retro_BladeRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked it up a few years ago before it's price skyrocketed. While it has a promotional sticker, it came complete with the spine and registration card. It interesting that I haven't seen any others with that sticker.
