These are some recent purchases, some of which were recently found on a trip to Japan.
Link Figure (Sold in North America with a price cut at GameStop. The Adol figure comes from the LE Chinese PC version of Ys Seven in case anyone is interested in searching for it.)
Found in Japan of all places. I guess it was imported from the U.S. I decided to re-import it back to the U.S.
PC-88 Version of Zeliard, a fun Faxanadu-esque Action-RPG. This is what the American DOS version cover looks like.
Wizardry Playing Card Set
DragonSlayer Chronicle + Xanadu Complete Collection + Bonus Xanadu Clock
A second copy of Wander Wonder for PC. I was surprised to find this, so I decided to get it again. I've already reached out to a friend to see if they would be interested in this copy, but if they are not, I'll edit this to indicate if it's available for sale.
Sorcerian Original, which I've been told is a superior version of Sorcerian for PC and better than Sorcerian Forever. I got this in case we should decide to look into a translation project for it.
Slayers for PC-98. There is an English translation project that has been in the works for this for sometime, although sadly it appears it's not quite as active anymore.
A newly released cartridge for the Famicom that contains kickass chiptunes. Can't wait to try this out later.
A place in Akihabara called Beep Shop, which is truly a heaven for anyone interested in retro Japanese computers and Falcom games sells some keyboard dust covers for the MSX. They have MSX, MSX2/2+ and Turbo R versions. They are of an extremely high quality and will make any MSX exhibit look even more sleek.
PC-9801-86 (YM2608) C-BUS expansion board for PC-98 machines. It's most useful for machines that do not have the 6-channel FM OPNA sound of the YM2608 chip built in, and it also adds a joystick port, which many machines did not have natively.
