Misc notes (misc ramblings found at the end of this listing)

Mostly older games this time, with a few exceptions. As always, games are ALWAYS the Japanese version when not stated otherwise (meaning every game in this listing is Japanese). The "JPN version" notation is just to let you know when I know of there being a US version of that game as well.

Misc. rambling by Matt

Been watching a *lot* of the Japanese TV show Game Center CX, where someone named Arino tries to beat various old (and usually really tough) games. He's only average as a player, but is expressive enough to be interesting.

Here's a youtube vid: Game Center CX Makaimura Part 1

Its the first part of the show where he does really bad at FC Makaimura (Ghosts N Goblins).

Anyhow, here's the amazon listing 4th DVD box set of them (and unlike for games, they ship these overseas, though they are region 2 encoded): Game Center CX on Amazon's JPN site

DVD Box Sets 1-3 are linked to Amazon's page as well. Side note: Unlike a lot of sites linking to Amazon, Wolfgames get nothing out of that link, I have no partnership with them. They're just the easiest place to buy them from I know of.

Anyhow, the DVDs are not full episodes of Game Center CX, but are collections of his challenges trying to beat games and visits to various arcades (often his challenges of a particular game would be spread out over multiple episodes and interspered with interviews and the like). Each box set is between 5 and 8 hours long, feel free to ask about the show if you have questions about it.
