I want to get Phalanx again for the SFC. The Gainax influence is so present!

Still my favorite cover art: The PAL version also has the Japanese name on it, Salamander, which I think sounds better.

Vrikkian posted:They should have gone with this... That is far less creepy then that second Starfox pic. That really freaked me out back when that game was released. A lot of SNES games creeped me out when I was younger. Lavos from Chrono Trigger gave me nightmares. Hearing that noise he makes for the first time really bothered me. I couldn't even be in the same room when he popped up again later on. There's also the Heart of Nova level and Marx from Kirby Superstar, but Hal topped that in Kirby Super Star Ultra with his new death animation.  Don't even get me started on Earthbound, either. I don't think I slept for days after that final boss.

It's not a ton and I wish I could give more (I'd be more than happy to give way above the spending limit if I had the cash), but I'm super excited to send it to them.

I've been working on getting stuff together for my giftee, I am the worst about secret santas because I just want to send tons of gifts. I have some good things, but I keep going "is it enough? Maybe I should add more...I'm gonna add more." I'm trying not to go overboard, though  Also, I know that the preferable way of shipping proof is a tracking number, but the guy at my local UPS store told me a tracking number would be something like $18 on top of whatever I'd already pay for shipping. I feel like this is totally ludicrous, is this totally ludicrous?

Yes don't use UPS at all, they're terrible. Are you asking them to pack your stuff up for you, too? Not only are they way too expensive but for that as well but they do a really questionable job of packing (gonna ask that pic of the Neo Geo doesn't get posted again) If you can't use USPS then use FedEx with insurance and signature confirmation. FedEx is good about getting you checks if they gently caress up your shipment

I'm doing some research for my Santee because I got someone who has polar opposite tastes and expertise. I am very excited and nervous. I hope they like what I dig up! Hopefully my vintage game stores aren't all cleared out after their crazy Black Friday sales Edit: also it might be worth updating the second post with the information from the SARGSS recipients who didn't participate until this new thread. I had to do a few pages worth of ctrl-f'ing to find my Santee's information and I know some people might be confused if the info isn't readily available.

I ordered my Santee's stuff and am just waiting for it to be shipped! As far as what shipping method people are using, I'm going to use USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation. I've never had problems as far as things being broken in shipment and under normal circumstances it's only in the system for a couple of days so it's not long enough for anyone to (hopefully) screw anything up.

I e-detectived my Santee to find specifically what he/she wanted. It was time consuming, and I wish I hadn't read his/her E/N thread about his/her cannibalism, but it was worth it.

Hell of excited for my santee's stuff to arrive. I really hope they'll enjoy what I picked out and I'm gonna toss some cool extras into the box as well. I know I'll never feel like I'm sending enough though! I just hope my secret santa doesn't freak out too much, hopefully my collection list will make things simple enough. In other news, I got to check out a local independent game store that opened up near me. $45 for a loose (filthy) Snowboard Kids 2.  They did had some TG16 games I would've liked to pick up, but after he quoted me pretty much the going rate online for Legendary Axe 2, I didn't even bother asking about Sinistron/Silent Debuggers. Ah well.

Gameboy games is best gift if you ship across the ocean, or get them weird (small) hardware or controllers or stuff. I'd be psyched as hell if I finally got an e-reader, those were never even released in the EU. *edit: My santee is also getting random merch and swag that I have acquired over the years just because I imagine people love finding that stuff.

This has been part of my strategy the couple of times I've done a Secret Santa, specifically picking up extras of things at conventions just to give away to people, throwing in one or two purchased items, and making something with my limited craft skills.

I'll be sad when I see all the pictures, but I couldn't really participate this time around as I don't really have the money to spend right now. All that money is going towards an xrgb mini right now.  Well that, and I recently picked bought a retrode and am now feeding an obsession of gamecube games. I swear, I have more fun buying stuff than I do playing the games.

Thinking about picking up a ps1 in the near future. Is there anything I need to look for model wise? Kinda like with a SNES you have to look for the one chip model? Or is it just get any old one?

The parallel port was removed in the 9000 models. I would look for a 5000-9000 one unless you need the s-video or rca ports.

I thought the cable that whent into the back was a generic one like the SNES, and the connectors on the end were what mattered. It has been a very long time since I have looked at a ps1 so I could just be mis remembering. I'd like an s-video one, if those are japan only, does that mean no english games? Sorry for the silly questions, I don't tend to pay attention much to things in moonland.
