You could have googled it in the time it took to type that sentence. :P
Lol it wasn't really a serious question :lol:

But really, sometimes we all have to make some sacrifices. My budget was $20 and dammit, I stayed on that number with some iron fisted self control. I also don't usually buy things with the intent of flipping unless it's truly a steal. In the case of this game, it was resurfaced I'm pretty sure (which while not a big deal, lowers the disc quality to just acceptable). There's also at least two dozen copies on Ebay right now, so I might make $10 at most after shipping costs.

If it's there next check, sure. But gotta pay them bills, yo.

It's like Tetris, but with more ninjas, and purple flowers...

And you have to play the game with only one hand...
Ah, you went and ruined the surprise he would have had!

When I started to act like that, like a killer, people liked me, girls and them, but, I really wasn't that person. It finally caught up with me. I'm sorry you got caught in the middle.

I bought a Neo Geo CD (Japanese) from an ebay seller the other week.

It arrived today. I was planning on testing the system with an audio CD and then buying some games at another time. I open the package, and to my surprise, the seller tossed in ten games!

I got the following (all Japanese):

Art of Fighting 2
Fatal Fury Special
Fatal Fury 3
The King of Fighters '94
The King of Fighters '95
The King of Fighters '96
The King of Fighters '97
The King of Fighters '99
Real Bout Fatal Fury
Samurai Spirits RPG (!!!)

Not bad, seeing as how I thought I was getting just a console!

Lucky Bone! All are common in Japan, but that's sweet. Plus, those 10 discs add to shipping (or maybe they didn't, since the unit weighs so much). Nice guy you bought from!

Now, hurry up and get Windjammers!

Just do the simple region mod on the NGCD and all of your games will magically be in English! With the NGCD the region was handled by the console, not the disc, so any game will play according to the region. I put a switch in mine in case I wanted to go back, but I never needed to. Very easy mod to do btw, especially if you dont want to put in a switch.

SamShoRPG will still be in Japanese, though.

Don't the games with blood in the JP version appear a different colour when set to English?
