@“exodus”#p95855 What a cover! He does look like a tough boy!
@“Punzai”#p95906 I should make a jaguar recommendations thread now that there's finally an emulator!
@“exodus”#p95855 If I ever became a pro wrestler, this was going to be my ring entrance music.
I got this mailed in from EB ‘cause it was cheap. Since it’s from Square Enix I figured it's probably alright. Anyone ever heard of it??

@“beets”#p96051 I‘ve heard there’s a lot of simulated gambling in it
@“exodus”#p96052 The lootboxes are especially egregious in the “Edition Of Lig”
My partner and I don’t really celebrate xmas but we do end up buying each other gifts around this time of year. Yesterday she surprised me with this beautiful and ludicrously heavy volume:

This is a real old time favourite of mine, and even though some parts of it have aged very poorly I still love it!
@“exodus”#p95901 wow! Why tho? Don’t you dislike european games, especially UK!? Are you playing Body Blows and Elfmania?
I remember those amiga 1200 conversion adapters in the early 1990s. Amazing!
@“docky”#p96106 I saw a Socrates at a game store in the (relative) area and was compelled. Socrates is the official CD32 NTSC release (though nothing was done to it other than a rebadge), but it was released here as a dental kiosk with a disc that told you about your tooth health and stuff.
And now I can play the best(?) version of chaos engine and black viper and whale's journey and whatever else. Unfortunately it appears I am [more interested in the amiga](https://forums.insertcredit.com/d/2133-best-baddest-weirdest-hottest-amiga-games) than anybody else around here though.

OH AND - I don't dislike european or UK games! They're just fun to razz. And I was serious when I said Sonic R was one of the best british games of all time, sonic r got robbed!!!!!!!
@“beets”#p96051 since that's not the definitive edition (based on the Switch Port), you now have access to the higher resolution textures that were yanked out of the PC port and all subsequent “definitive” editions. congrats
@“KennyL”#p89585 After weeks of wrangling customer service and bank, Goodwill actually delivered the correct PS1!

Great condition. Only couple of small scuffs. Originally purchased from KB Toys. Feels weird connecting it with RCA jacks but working great! Can output via both RCA and PS port at the same time. I guess JP SCPH1000 with svideo can do 3 video output simultaneously? Audio is supposedly really good on this model but I don't have ears for that. It's also modchipped! Amazing. Laser is fine on real games but skips on burned games. Gotta get in there and dial some knobs.
Little brother controller is stout chunker with loosey goosey dpad kind of like Saturn pad, stiff buttons, bad shoulder button placement, turbo, and red light that lights up on every button press. I like it!

Got this in today.
@“tokucowboy”#653 sent me Namcot Fmaily Stadium Yakyuu, and I’m gonna send their buddy my extra copy of KH2

@“Karasu”#p96080 that is amazing! I have that book too, but never finished reading it. I really do need to finish it one day haha.
Have you read Grant Morrison's Animal Man also? I love that run as well!!
@“p3ters”#p96666 I have! It’s quite good! I’m also a fan of another series from the time that hasn’t gotten the Omnibus treatment, Shade the Changing Man. It’s worth tracking down (but again, with all the warnings about it not aging too well).
@“treefroggy”#p96619 Heck yeah, Ol Emile will be happy to get those big ol Kingdom Hearts shoes, enjoy the family baseball
Apparently this is the season of books for me!

Speaking of books, I got this after about a year and a half, maybe longer. I bought this right after the kicktstarter for it ended. Since then, I moved, and updated my address with them. They then sent me a shipping notification about 6 months ago, and it never arrived. I assumed it went to my old apartment, but the folks living there said it never had. Likewise the shipping notification never went beyond the “label created” phase. Since then I sent them an email once every couple months asking about it.
They finally responded a few weeks ago that they sent out a new copy (or possibly the original, since I see this is number 175/1000) - and confirmed that yes, they were indeed sending it to my old address. Blarf. Last weekend I happened to be in the neighborhood getting some new used tires for the rain so I dropped by the old apartment and knocked on the door. No answer - I took a peek inside and noticed... there's nothing in there. The last tenants had moved out! I looked a little further and saw the book just inside the door. The security gate was open (lol) but the inner door wasn't. But luckily!! My partner still had her keys. And they'd never changed the locks. So I went and got my package, and now I have it.
I have another thing about that apartment to post in [the outside kids thread](https://forums.insertcredit.com/d/1500-outside-kids-the-thread-where-we-talk-about-gardens-and-nature-and-stuff/43) so get ready for that!

A few things I've had my eye on for a while.
It is amazing how much better Daytona USA Circuit Edition is versus the original Saturn version.
Saturn Bomberman is a joy to look at.
