Monroe-A-Palooza 09 Official Thread

[Womp]

Yaaa, It showed up today!
I hooked it all up and it looks great on my 40" Sony.
Tried out all 3 games, Virtua Fighter 2, Daytona USA, and Virtua Cop.
Virtua cop is actually pretty fun. I spend a good hour or 2 playing it.

Time Date keeps getting lost. Does it have internal rechargeable batteries? Just leave it plugged in and I should be all set?

Yeah, try leaving it plugged in for a day or two and see if it 'charges' it up, otherwise you should be able to replace it via Radio Shack or something. Either way it won't hurt your enjoyment of the system.

Glad you like it.

I actually have a Stunner pistol for VR Cop around somewhere but it is playable with the controller.

It uses a standard CR2032 watch battery, probably cheapest at Walmart. You just remove the cover on the back, left side, of the Saturn and the battery is right there easy to replace.

Yup, there you go.

All "retro'd" up as usual for me the week after Monroeapalooza, I decided to check out a few game shops in the area to see if I'd find anything interesting today.

On the way home, I stopped by Goodwill and I hit the jackpot. A new-in-box NES system (the one with the zapper and smb/duck hunt), looks like it's barely been handled by human hands hehe. $15 later, it was mine.

The controllers still have that "new styrafoam" smell too hehe. I love that feeling you get when you find something like this at Goodwill or a yard sale--it's pure adrenaline hehehe.

Yeah, I'm impressed my name is even spelled correctly.
