QUOTE(Dark NT @ Aug 30 2009, 12:58 AM) I visited the Ampang Point Cash Converter today and bought a number of PS1 games - Biohazard 1, Kagero, Eternal Punishment 2, Saga Frontier 2 and Tenchu ( thanks faidzal and gnusmas for the tip) One game RM4... its just unbelievable. they have about >100 new & sealed ps1 titles there. most of them are not well known titles except for the above. There are however only a couple of ps2 titles. anyone has any idea what are the titles available in other branches in Klang, Sunway and SEA? Plan to visit these branches maybe next week if there are interesting titles. Just wondering ... those games all are in Japaneses (NTSC-JAP) or in US (NTSC-US) ?

Most are NTSC/J.
Those who own R3 PS3s can play NTSC/J games though, so its not all bad.

Did a tour of duty at Sunway and Taman Sea Cash converters branch, nothing of interest there (in terms of Retro gaming)  Did found some PSP and Xbox 360 games in Taman Sea branch though (all titles selling for RM 69.90).  Maybe will go take a peek in Ampang branch sometime.

I only saw a gameboy color at Sunway branch. In SEA, PSP, xbox360 (as seen in my last photo) and a few loose game gear carts. Well I went to Ampang branch today  Still lots of PS1 (NTSC-J) around, didn't see any PS2 games though...  My pickings  Anyone to the Klang branch yet ? Klang is a bit far to go there empty handed ... This post has been edited by LiangZhuge: Aug 31 2009, 07:37 PM

I wonder where they get all these ps1 titles. could it be some Sony authorised dealers closed shop post-PS1 era and sold everthing off to c-converter..

QUOTE(hansapkuay @ Sep 1 2009, 12:59 AM) wow,this is heaven. anyone here finished all the street of rage trilogy?any review?sof vs final fight? What's sof? Streets of Rage you mean? I finished all 3 back then. On emu though. Only SoR2 was played on a MD. As for SoR vs FF, I prefer SoR mostly because of the variation in selectable charaters. They're not too different, but unique enough to have multiple playthroughs. Also, there's a slightly wider moveset in SoR, as you have 3 separate buttons to make use. FF only has attack and jump, while SoR has a 3rd special button. I played only the arcade version of FF btw. It was the king of scrolling beat em ups during the day. Huge sprites, 3 selectable characters and amazing backgrounds. The fight with Rolento on the elevator is a highlight for me. Now, if we're talking about the Super Famicom version? That's the gimped version (no Guy! no co-op!) I read about so much. It looks and plays like Final Fight alright, but is neutered to the point where it should be called Final Fight lite or something. Even NES games had co-op! Strictly speaking about the console version, this is the reason why I prefer SoR on MD over FF on SNES.

That's about RM43 after discount, with free delivery. I just want to know whether the game is good?
