searching mandarake for フロッピー (floppy) apparently returns a lot of dvd covers with women pooping, and/or smearing themselves with poop. does this word double as some fetish term? 😅

speaking of things named "Internet", this gem just popped up on mercari lol

AV idol Ai Iijima (飯島 愛) transformed into Time Gal at the Tokyo nightclub 「ジュリアナ東京」"Juliana's Tokyo" during the Wolf Team new product presentation event, "Wolf Manjack Party," on December 1, 1992.

this castle better be fucking excellent

friday night auction finds

something i really didn't need to get, but did

wondering about those totally trashed and shockingly overpriced computers you often see on suruga. did they really pay ~50% of their asking price when buying those in, as per their normal kaitori system? no chance in hell, right? cos they'd be grossly overpaying for absolute junk that never sells

this is a great one. generally been hard to find under 10k (if available at all), but a few cheaper copies have popped up recently. here's the best one i spotted www.suruga-ya.jp/product/deta...

i always find this cover interesting. you'd think it's a flight sim or an addon campaign to some established series, but no, it's daisenryaku, the first one. does that english sound cool enough to forego the need to include the *actual* name? same thing on spine and back

#駿河屋 のことを「はやお」または「パヤオ」と呼ぶ人っているかな。もしいなかったら、僕のオリジナルネタということで、異議はないな

things you wouldn't think to find in japan, but you do, for a great price: x-com terror from the deep, 3600 jpy www.suruga-ya.jp/product/deta...

the ultimate meta: buying warez of warez-making software (wizard 98)

now that the exchange rate is better than it's ever been, and just keeps getting better, it's important to understand the party won't last forever, cos it never does. if ur thinking about starting to collect jpy denominated stuff, don't wait - do it now. throw all ur money at the screen. i'm serious

no notes

if people don't look at you funny, are you even living?

yo this one is *really* difficult to find: (not sure if there's a bit of fade on the spine, though) jp.mercari.com/item/m170337...

within 24 hours, this link will restock with a CIB copy (no marked defects) for wildly cheap 13200 (if the new year's sale price is still on, or 14800 otherwise). how do i know? well let's just say i'm good at this 😉 praise the krug if you grab it www.suruga-ya.jp/product/deta...

if by "pills" they mean google's apparent ideological shifts after dropping their original motto, "don't be evil", then yes, i concur - they're a constant source of headaches

go get a job, a wife, and become HUDDAD

crazy good price here for what looks to be CIB three sisters story (no marked defects) www.suruga-ya.jp/product/deta...

latest in Reefer Madness at Suruga Warehouse: they restocked a rare game that says in the back that it doesn't come with a physical manual. then they somehow missed that, marked the game "manual missing", and gave it a giant discount 😹 my copy from YAJ had trashed disks, so this saved my butt lol

may i take this opportunity to remind everyone that neko project 2 is free, and provides (nearly) unlimited anime tiddy?

i just found a rare ninja text adventure for fujitsu FM-7. it gives zero results in a closed auction search that goes back to 2008...

only 4 likes? dont be such prudes

an import game store (of dubious legality) sold urotsukidoji 2 vhs to my friend who was 11. ah, the 90s 🤣

suruga-ya's end of year discounts are nuts, btw, and so is the pricing of new arrivals. santa's little elves are clearly smoking crack at the warehouse again...

yeah no, チョット ヨッテ イカナイ makes zero sense to me outside of a flirtatious context. if they wanted to avoid that connotation, they could've picked *any other phrase* 😹

1990s had its issues, but wtf is all this dumb shit going on today? i want absolutely none of it, and there's zero signs of anything being about to get better. great fucking century, hitting the shitter in 2008 ps. last i checked, people are still being racist

man this screenshot gave me the "only available as a download from our webpage that disappeared in 1998" vibe, but it turns out it's included on disk 1 of shuwa system trading's doujin shuusaku collection 1, rofl 😹 instructions to run it in the comments:

Yakyūken type in game by T. Sano for the Sharp MZ-700 has been preserved by @thestacks.ca. Enjoy! www.gamingalexandria.com/wp/2025/12/y...

Here's something I found quite a while ago, but forgot to upload: Poko & Poko - It's Yume Station! for #PC98. What can you do with it? Well, uhh, all sorts of things, apparently!! AFAICT previously undumped stuff (as per usual), so have fun checking it out! ✨ archive.org/details/poko...

Subtle hint to go spend time with your loved ones, instead of uploading hentais

porn is a legitimate cultural object and interest, and a meaningful artistic pursuit!

Which 4 Fighting Games mattered the most to YOU growing up? 1. Samsho 2 2. VF3tb (i play a mean jeffry) 3. SF2 4. Gekka no kenshi series

Anybody else remember when - occasionally - something cool or good used to happen? I swear this is real

interesting,so the reason mercari has become unusable without checking "show only individual sellers", due to suruga spamming their entire catalog there, is bc suruga is planning on selling to the world through them. i wonder if this means rip suruga-ya.com,as it wasn't mentioned once in the article

the amazing thing here is that this predates floppy disks (not to mention big box games) by several decades

ok i'm gonna call it 20/20, but with three caveats: 1) i've only watched from the side as my exchange student application papers were faxed to japan. that experience was actually quite traumatizing, as it started from the teacher(?) screeching "WHO ARE YOU HOW DO I KNOW YOU'RE A STUDENT HERE?"

yoooo check what i just snagged: mariya takeuchi midi files on 3.5" !!!

got this on black friday for €6.90 (i swear), just arrived 🕺
