Weekdays are usually a no-go for me, but since my time zone is so much different from most people's, I may be able to join depending on the time...
By the way, I have my gift in hand. Just waiting for opening it.

Just started the hunt today!
Make sure you have your Wish Lists up to date! I'll try to finish shopping early this year.

Sorry for not being very participative in the forum recently, but I'm still here.
Thank you for your message, dhaabi! I'll be happy to participate this year as well!
Looking forward to go shopping!

Just noticed that this category's name has one too many L's in it:
It reads Phillips Odyssey when it should be Philips Odyssey, am I right?

Thanks, dhaabi
I was considering buying that one. I had never seen a power cable connector like that! Looks like a phone line or something.
No wonder why the CDi was such a hit! Haha

That's quite the gift to send, koemo1! Hopefully you can try it out soon. This may be the right power supply cord? Although it's not exactly the cheapest, it was the only one I was able to find. Maybe cheaper listings will appear in time.

I finally had some time to open and contemplate my gift today and I gotta say its one of the most amazing video game related presents anyone has even given me!
I wasn't expecting it AT ALL.



I had never even seen one of these in person and receiving it as a gift is absolutely insane!
Now I need to find a power suply unit for it though... Haha
If anyone can help me in finding one compatible with a this specific model (CDI450), please let me know.

I'm so happy for being part of this community!
Happy holidays to everyone! And a special one to my Secret Santa koemo1 and to dhaabi for organising everything this year again!

I had sent out a message to you and koemo1 a few days ago about time availability for this weekend, but I never gained a reply. I'm not sure what the status of the situation going on in koemo1's personal life may be, so they may not be available during that window. But after this weekend, I won't be available for a meeting, so I'll be opening my gift regardless by Sunday night local time.

Sorry, dhaabi.
I had seen your message, but forgot to confirm my availability.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to join you, so I'll probably open my box when I get home later today.
I'll make sure to post a photo and my impressions here!

Sorry again.

Very clear that woke feminists have taken over the industry.

As a woke social justice warrior feminist commie myself, all I can say is "I wish..."

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound really got my attention and since Sega is bringing back Virtua Fighter, it made me wish they'd do something with Shinobi as well...

I guess this means December 14th 11h00 AM in Japan, right?
If so, I'm in!

I would be interested but it depends on if my package arrives by Friday. If it does, we can do something at 9 EST like we did last year?

Hi everyone.

Previously, I had some other stuff to do on the 13th (14th in Japan), but my appointment was canceled, so if eveyone (or anyone) is it up to it, we can do a get together on Friday!
What do you say?

Sorry for being absent of most of the discussion this year... Sorry, but December 13th doesn't work for me...
How about the next Friday (December 20th)? My giftee should have received their package by then ass well.

I'll try send the package to my giftee so that they'll receive it by mid-December as mail tends to become a little bit chaotic as we get closer to Christmas.

As for my wishlist. It's not very long and I'll try adding some stuff to it soon, but as always, I appreciate all Sega games from any region (no need to be Japanese). Also, PlayStation 1〜5 struff is always very welcome!

Looking forward to shopping for this person this year!

Classic Video Games / Re: PriceCharting.

« on: June 24, 2024, 06:15:55 pm »

I rarely (if not ever) use PriceCharting as they have a VERY limited archive of Japanese games (which constitutes almost all of my collection).
That said, as far as pricing may help a liiiiittle bit in discovering whether a game is authentic or not, it is far from being a reliable metric.
For example: many "repros" released by PCE Works are close to indistingable from the real thing both in looks and price, so...
