    I can look at the game boxes of the 80s and 90s era of video games from Japan all day. Such works of art 😊😊😊

    Wow! That Salamander Deluxe Pack was a steal @ 2,000 yen 0_0. I just got that game a few days ago to play Salamander II and it's awesome :) That was a fun hunt; thanks, Jim!

    massive yikes on that 'friend' I'm sure we all knew a guy. definitely recommend giving MGS another try though, I go between it and SOTN as my favorite PS game ever! Galaxian 3 I got to play at the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz it's quite an experience. as for the pickups I'm definitely in the market for the 'deluxe pack' stuff love me some konami shmups so between gradius, salamander and parodius (hell maybe even twinbee) I'm definitely looking forward to being in shmup heaven!

    Out of the Ranma fighters on SNES, Chougi Ranbu Hen is decent because it has the standard controls of pressing up to jump, etc…

    When it comes to 70's horror there's not much that I like other than Dawn of the Dead, Zombie, and the Blind Dead movies, I dunno if you've ever seen those though.

    • @MadPanicGaming
      @MadPanicGaming  Рік тому +1

      I'd also throw in stuff like Suspiria, Black Christmas, Halloween, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre to name a few. Now that I think about it, the 70's saw a wealth of great horror films.

    The MSX 2 machine even though it looked in decent condition, was tested and came with accessories was a bit expensive, especially for that model. You can get MSX 2+ machines for that price.
    Salamander Deluxe Pack on the Saturn is awesome - hard games though you need to be in the zone.
    PC Denjin is a relaxed good fun shoot em up. PC Engine is a shooters paradise!
    Don't actually have Jacki Chan for the PC Engine.

    Pop quiz hotshot: Which was better Tiny Toons on the NES or SNES? Unlike the Lion King debate I don't know of any devs who came out and gave us an answer about which of those 2 great games was better.
    I screwed up: I visited Japan and didn't try Cocos. I went to Go-Go though, for some great Gorilla Curry

    • @MadPanicGaming
      @MadPanicGaming  Рік тому +1

      Hmm, I like the SNES Tiny Toons game, but I think I prefer the straight forward platforming of the first NES game

    7:50, that’s crazy, I just spent that much on a damn Magic the Gathering card even though I promised myself I’d stop. Damn you Silverback Elder why you so sexy?! (Also kinda cool you said 7 50 right at that 7:50 mark)

    Capcom would add the name Ex to PlayStation versions of their fighters since they were somehow gimped or significantly enough different from the arcade versions and Saturn ports.

    This Hard Off seems to have a great selection of awesome games at a really great price! I noticed a few Game & Watch and a few what seems like Playstation Vitas. Curious on the price of them at the Hard Offs? Was your PC Dengen and Jackie Chan for PC Engine? Both looks like fun to play!

    I am still on a hunt for a Saturn and PC Engine. I tried to get a couple through Buyee, but lost a few auctions and the youtube referral coupon expired. :( That and the new user coupon expires WAY too quick.
    Seeing you go through the Playstation games just makes me wonder what were they thinking with those spines. SO bland.
