That sega power strip is what we all needed back in the day, since trying to fit all the gaming ac adapters on a normal power strip was like playing RL tetris

[@JRPGLife]

Right? Sega had some wild ideas

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

It's always been a pricey $50+ item. I sold the one we had as kids, since it was a power strip with no surge protection.

[@tennisace06]

The slo-mo Elisa at the end killed me, LOL

I gotta say yous make some great Content! I look forward to it every Sunday! This week definitely helped me a bit because my car recently got totaled and I just got laid off today as well. So thank you for turning a not so good day into a better one!

We are so sorry to hear about all of the recent misfortune 😞 happy to hear our videos provide a bit of solace 😊

[@cvlt94]

that snes racing game brought so much childhood memories of watching the show as a kid, it's actually about rc cars and there is huge market with model kits.

[@filbert910]

I love bubblegum crisis. Priss is such an underrated protagonist. That anime doesn’t get enough love.

[@jimmyju76]

saying Priss is underrated is like saying Akira is underrated, todays kids will never know

[@PeperonyChease]

I need to rewatch it. 2040 was the first Anime I ever watched back when I was probably 13 or so. Too moody and slow-paced for me back then but I think I would appreciate it more now.

[@yellowblanka6058]

Lol, was about to say "are you kidding me?" at the beginning until it was clear you were being facetious....the crazy thing is that somebody WILL pay that. The "retro" market is insane.

Love seeing all of that vhs, sega cd and laserdisc freshness

[@happybuttersblast8334]

I had that Sega CD model and traded it to my friend for 100$ in Magic The Gathering cards. and he gave it away a year later and with the price it goes for now, we are both smacking ourselves letting it go over 25 years ago. My favorite game for it was the RPG Strategy game Dark Wizard.

[@TheJackelantern]

Reminds me when I used to mine bit coin and had managed to get 10 bit coins and ended up spending it on pizza.. Back then we considered it a gimmick or joke... Only if you could have traveled to the future and back lol.. I know your pain!

[@ryandann9362]

Some Advice: When your buying your games, especially cd jewel case games, do these steps! 1. Check the manual and back art for water damage. Remove the manual, look it over. Pop the cd tray out and look at the back art, especially for expensive games. 2.) Check for sun fading. While doing step 1, do this also. Pay special attention to the spine of the back artwork. Most games if they're faded it happens to the spine facing out on the shelf. 3.) While doing the above, Check those staples!!! I have seen countless times rusty manual staples. The outside of the manual is easy to spot, but this is one of the main reasons to remove the manual and look it over. Specs of rust on the outside manual can be missed while inside the case. Also, I have seen the staples looks shiny and new on the outside, but open the manual up to the middle page and the staples are so rusted and staining the reg card or pages. Save yourself the headache of discovering this stuff later and do it before buying. A little rust on a staple can and will likely eventually get worse. If it's a little rust. It's easy to switch a staple from a donor manual if it's an expensive game. So it's not always a deal breaker. There's nothing worse than putting a dreamcast game with your collection and then seeing the swirl mark is completely faded compared to the rest!

On the subject of standees to keep an eye out for, one I think is very nice is the Final Fantasy 9/The Bouncer lenticular. It's maybe 4+ feet tall, has a wide triangular base that reads, "Pick a world, we'll take you there", with the bulk of it being the lenticular ad/ads inside an oval stargate-looking portrait frame.

Final Fantasy 14 just as mainline as any other Final Fantasy. The company put in the time and money to save it. Now its doing well and a very good story and experience. It even brought back the Pictomancer and Astrologian Jobs from older FF games.

That Xbox 360 sales rep case is pretty rare... Which reminds me that for my 3DO collection I have a 3DO Fz-10 "New How's" home interior design sales kit / portable Kiosk.. Extremely rare. 3DO's were used in many different ways as portable sales kits and kiosks ..., especially in Japan. Most got scapped or junked so they are very very rare to find now. I personally would have bought that Xbox 360 sales rep kit..

[@IowaRetroGamerDad]

Need that dang Sega Power Pack to plug in the three power adapters for the Sega Tower of Power. lol

[@JustinYates]

Funny, I just borrowed that Dreamcast/neogeo pocket cable from a friend. Only used for a few games it’s absolutely a time saver. I borrowed it to link Capcom VS SNK. Doing this instantly unlocked all characters on my neogeo copy. Literally saved 400 hours of play time lol. Only a few games benefited for the cord but it’s awesome.

[@JRPGLife]

PCFX is fun, if you can understand Japanese for the most part. Nice to see one of those in the wild at a game store. I have also wanted to get into collecting for Sega CD... Small Library but very challenging to collect for and I love consoles that are hard to collect and complete.

Those discs are unrelated to the CPS2 game. The blue cartridge you showed is the game board and there is a separate motherboard that attaches to it.

[@sonicichigo5962]

One game i loved playing last year for the first time was cyber citizen shockman zero i own (1, 2 and 3 aswell all on ps5)

[@oagre]

Just a random note. The owner is probably cool with it and maybe you have permission but when I ask the store worker if I can browse the trade in/non processed inventory at the Henderson store I am always told they would prefer I don’t. I still ask even though I always see people digging and it’s kind of a flaw of the store layout, unprocessed inventory is always backed up there imo and it’s easy to assume it’s okay to dig through. Anyways. Congratulations on your pickup and happy 2025.

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks for watching! We did ask first, of course, and Antonio is always very kind 😊

4:55 the interesting thing about barnyard blast is that it's actually a parody of castlevania (see the subtitle "swine of the night") it's... not very good.

[@JRPGLife]

😅

[@Kwstr42]

i have the playstation glove controller, while awkward, you can change the mode to change how it works and theres a mode i used all the time that was more comfortable and didnt use your wrist for moving around. i bought it for RPGs because it lets you play 1 handed allowing you to flip through the game guide and snack. it was actually pretty usefull for menu based games once you got used to it

[@JRPGLife]

Very cool!

[@ronaldelmore1834]

Great ending

[@cotton5433]

Huh, CAVE fan and I've never seen that sticker paper thing before. It had KETSUI Kizuna Jigokutachi, Mushihimesama Futari, DeathSmiles and Espgaluda II Black Label in order. It seems to indeed just be a sheet of stickers for your PC, but these games are all from before 2010 so that has to be quite old. Nice find!

You forgot to add the overpriced shipping on encore. I really dislike that they won't let the sellers combine shipping.

[@JRPGLife]

We placed text at the bottom that we ended up right around $100 once shipping and taxes were added in. As far as "overpriced" is concerned, we ended up paying about $5 each for shipping. That's less than we normally pay eBay for shipping 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Diablo20069]

@JRPGLife I was talking more about overpriced when they won't allow to combine shipping. Like the other day, I bought 4 xbox games from one seller, and the shipping came to $25 total. Even the seller was kinda upset that he couldn't combine.

Totally understand, and I believe it's a feature they are working on in a future patch
