That's mighty impressive! Just how did you find boxed Famicom games at good prices anyway?
90% of my stuff I get from 'yamatoku-classic' on Ebay, they more or less have an infinite supply so just be patient, there's no need to win a bidding war except for a few high profile games, most boxed Famicom games should go for less then $10. Just for reference, I won the boxed Mario Golf and Dr Mario for 10cents each (lol), boxed Super Mario and Mario3 I got for $8 each. Mostly it's the boxed Megaman(Rockman) games that goes for high prices.
Great Stuff especially that CPS Street Fighter II Original cabinet. Can you do the Guile shadow throw on that?
Yup That's the sole reason I got SFII in real CPS hardware, I actually just got it 2 weeks ago and finally I got the timing down and can pull off shadow throws consistently, super stoke about that
Shadow throw was like a legendary myth where I grew up, kids used to talk about it but most have never seen it in action. I've only seen it once growing up; I remember there was this guy playing at some random liquor store one day and he was doing shadow throws left and right, chaining them one after another.. It was like seeing a unicorn out of blue..
I wanted to be able to do that, it was always on my bucket list ever since, so it's pretty cool that I got the timing down and can do it consistently now that I have my own game. Another cool bonus is that I actually scored a really early revision of the game where Dhalsim still has his invisibility glitch(they patched that glitch right away so only the first batch of SFII hardware produced has that glitch), so that's really cool too.
also you can get those acrylic stand or stairs so you can display more boxes rather than just displaying the side of the boxes.
yup, I need more space so I can display them with stands, I'm actually considering the 'Rose Colored Gaming' stands, those are the nicest stands for displaying retro games, but really pricey. I'll probably get a few for selected games.
