    I'm almost finished the AV mod on our resident alcho's Famicom. Wiring is done, just have to drill three holes for the rca jacks.

    City Connection? Could you not have given me Mario 3 or something to test it with? :D


    Ooh my sexy little famicom is almost there!

    Sorry, it was dirt cheap and I needed a game :o

    I'm picking up my new TV tomorrow, 21" Philips, should be grand.
    But I set aside some space for it and popped a crappy 14" in there to see how it goes...
    I ended up spending 2hrs trying every shmup I could find, to see if it had Tate modes and, it turns out, I've tons!
    Fun times ahead!

    I charge about €25 for the mod, so it's reasonable enough

    Ah, I didn't realise that. If possible, I'd rather go with you (ooh err), if that works?

    Of course, not a problem :)

    Gent! I'll drop you a message when I stop being eBay sniped, and actually own one of them.

    Anyone know where I can get a Commodore 64 Y/C video cable in the UK or Ireland?
    I know I can get the cable from http://www.vesalia.de but the postage is more than the cable.

    Picked up a very nice condition C64 today but it came with the below cable and no adapter box thing for it.

    I cant test out the c64 until I get a cable now(I thought I'd at least be able to hook it up via RF just until I got the Y/C cable for my commodore monitor).

    This is the monitor I have, the 1701.

    I found this one on ebay but not sure if it will work as it comes with 4 connectors and the monitor only takes 3.

    Pardon the broadness of the question, but any arcade recommendations in London?

    Well there's always the Trocadero. But its not what it once was.
    Still worth a visit I reckon though.

    Casino! They have Darius Burst! (amongst other things) will post directions later, but it's a five minute walk from Tottenham Court Rd. station.

    I have a C64 S-Video out thingy that goes into the cassette port,
    you're welcome to it if it's any good to you.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,698 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    FML. Playing Link: Faces of Evil and really enjoying it. It plays very like an old Dizzy game in how it's structured and you know what **** the haters it's really good. Then I get really far in it and it crashes. Not sure it's a bad iso dump (most CDi iso dumps floating around don't even work) or just a glitch but since I can't save my game all my progress is lost :(

    No it really isn't. There's absolutely nothing there now. Only about 5 machines there, all modern games and a bunch of chavs playing pool.

    Appreciate the offer but its the Y/C cable I really need as that's the type the monitor takes.

    More a case of
    "NINTENDO, Y U FCUKING NOT MAKE POKEMON RED/BLUE/YELLOW SKYRIM STYLE!!!!!"
    /kicks nintendo repeatedly in balls

    Seriously. If they did this Id by everything.......repeatedly.....and the consoles.......repeatedly.....

    What? Like a 3d pokemon? I think that the new wii and 3ds need an open world pokemon with cross console bits such as the battles and trading, and definatley a mmorpg style mode

    Well what can I say, was really enjoying it there once I'd gotten into it. Only big complaint are the jumping controls that are awkward but that's not the game, it's down to how the CDi controllers work. The game does compensate for this though with plentiful continues and checkpoints. It's also got a really nice super metroid mixed with Dizzy vibe to the game.

    I rarely get worked up over posts by someone who purposely bought Superman 64 :D

    It may be a somewhat ok game, but it's as much as Zelda game as Shadow The Hedgehog is a Sonic game.

    It's actually a pretty damn good game. I tell you what, it's also better than zelda 2.
