Mate of mine is doing a big clearout of his games consoles, passing them onto me, along with his games.
Why is this important?
Well, firstly, I'm going to try to shift the stuff I already have on Adverts...
Secondly, he is giving me his Gamecube as well, together with Zelda: TP, I bought it for him as a gift back on release and he never played it, planning to hang onto that one for myself!!

Let me know if theres a Saturn in that lot, sold my one a while ago and need to get back on track with it

CiDeRmAn · 21-03-2012 2:16pm

Nothing so exotic, a megadrive, N64 maybe, Gamecube, a few games, nothing mental...
Lets not have the vultures circling just yet...

From a sound guy(stigsgameroom) who gave me a shout via the youtube channel...

Pyongyang · 21-03-2012 10:56pm

This arrived this morning. Andrew76's incorrect guess.

This is the super rare widescreen CLV edition of Gunhed (the movie of the manga of the PC Engine game, in that order I think too). NTSC-J, CIB. Never produced with an obi (apparently, according to extensive research). Still in it's original cello bag I think too. 100% crispy minty fresh.

Andrew76 · 21-03-2012 11:00pm

I take it that blue looking background on your monitor is actually green in colour?

Another good day, Tengai and Sol Divide arrived, a mere three days after posting from France, which is nice.
Both horizontally scrolling Shumps, both by Psikyo games as well.
Tengai was originally Sengoku Blades and be careful googling that one at work, there are some definite NSFW model kits available of one particular well endowed character.

ghostchant · 22-03-2012 1:17pm

Neat, I picked up Sengoku Blade for the Saturn when in Tokyo last year, the two-disc one (actually don't think it was released without the bonus disk on the Saturn). Haven't had a proper chance to play it yet though.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy · 22-03-2012 1:56pm

Will have to post a photos later, spend about €20 on these including postage for everything
*Kaeru no Ehon: Adventure for the Lost Memories (it's about a guy who gets turned into a ... frog!!!

CiDeRmAn · 22-03-2012 2:17pm

Hooray!
Two more packages arrived at lunch time!
Castle of Shikigami 2 for the PS2 and my beloved Fire Shark for the equally beloved Megadrive.
I always felt my PS2 was one of the most productive consoles in terms of the amount of gaming goodness that it gave up. But now, with all these excellent shooters, my love has increased manifold, despite most of that generations Shump kudos going to the Saturn.

So, with all these games coming across my desk, I must say sense a certain thrill...

This must be how Pyongyang feels all the time!

Andrew76 · 22-03-2012 2:22pm

You're building up a nice collection of shmups Ciderman, excellent stuff. Got a couple of PS2 shmups this week too, will throw up some pics when I'm able.

Two that I've gotten recently. Very happy with Super Off Road as the box is in excellent condition and I love the game!

Anything game marvel game is usually a get for me as well, despite a lot of them being poor.

Myrddin · 22-03-2012 2:29pm

A red Meg cart? Nice, never seen one of those

Optimus Prime · 22-03-2012 3:22pm

I finally bought one of these light\sign things, ive been meaning to get one for ages, came in the door today. Im gonna get another couple of them, probably zelda one for sure. its a pity they dont have any arcade style ones. went with the SEGA one first.

Cool, the Zelda one is nice as well.
If you get any that are red it will actually be pink by the way.

Yeh I was looking at the nintendo one comptemplating get that too and remembered you had mentioned that before on here. Im gonna go for the Gold Zelda one next i think.

Hank Scorpio · 22-03-2012 7:39pm

Winter gold boxed + complete on the snes came this morning from a chap on adverts, only one of 3 super fx 2 games along with doom and yoshis island. All in good condition, cost me a tenner. Isn't well known and wasn't released in NTSC regions. Game is ok bought it more for collection reasons, but the graphics and especially the menu animations are damn impressive for the snes

The Last Bandit · 22-03-2012 8:04pm

Collected this tonight, now to fill it with old stuff

Pyongyang · 22-03-2012 8:06pm

This finally arrived today. A minty clean Gekirindan Taito F3 cassette and a Japanese F3 motherboard.

The motherboard has been modified to accept cassettes from all regions.

Quite surprised at how bloody enormous the cassettes/carts/whatever you want to call them actually are. They make Neo Geo MVS systems look like a Neo Geo Pocket!

EDIT: Might as well add this one in as well. I'll have this later tonight, Darius Burst iOS in pupil-smashing retina display colour!

OwaynOTT · 22-03-2012 10:23pm

Oh, found this hidden away in the front hall. Was a nice surprise when I was looking for Climbie the cat.

Sorry about the crappy photos. I finally ticked off another of my videogaming bucket list enteries. Massive thanks to appleflavouredalcoholicbeveragedude for this one. I'll eh, give you the 50 I owe you later and owe you a drink:

o1s1n · 23-03-2012 12:21am

Nice one man!

Welcome to the SNK club. Leave all your sense and money at the door :pac:

Retr0gamer · 23-03-2012 12:38am

Have to play it with headphones for now, my TV is a bit crap but going to get some passive external speakers for it tomorrow. It's a thing of beauty. Only problem with it is that it looks gash on an LCD without scanlines. I'd love a CRT but until I move home I can't get one. I've been lurking on the neo geo forums, the games are surprisingly nicely priced... shipping of course is a whore on these carts.

Atavan-Halen · 23-03-2012 1:06am

Just the one purchase from me!

It's actually entertaining. Has 4 different card games on it including a video poker thing. Can't go wrong for €4ish

Hey, stick it up on ebay as the ultra-rare DKC3 that was printed upside down!
We'll include you in Dreamer of the Year!

The Cat in the Hat!
I wonder if, under the hat, is another cat, cat "A", with a hat on, and under that hat is yet another, cat "B", and so on down to cat "Z", they say he is a whizz at getting rid of pink snow...

Myrddin · 23-03-2012 9:55am

@Retr0: How the hell did you smuggle that into the house?

@Atavan: Did you just buy that cart because it says Bottom Up on the bottom?

CiDeRmAn · 23-03-2012 10:54am

Just picked up the well reviewed Kid Icarus Uprising, haven't played it yet.
It's in HMV for 39.99 and that's with the 3DS stand, a piece a plastic that comes with it's own instruction book, together with warnings, some game owners must be pretty thick...
Anyhow, comes with a nifty set of cards, presumably for AR functions, tis a good day today!
Should have Twin Hank for the MD on Monday as well....

Just picked up Kid Icarus in HMV too. I'm not even home yet and I've managed to drop the HMV bag on the ground twice. Made a noisy thud. Hopefully the silly plastic stand cushioned the fall

Just picked up a megadrive from Steve, couldn't resist it for €10
Thanks again steve, good to meet you.

CiDeRmAn · 23-03-2012 7:03pm

I was rather disappointed to find out that the circlepad pro is only used to allow lefties, satan worshipping goat shaggers they are, to play with a circlepad, instead of the lesser option of the buttons on the right side, which is only as good as the deviants deserve.
I had hoped that the extra analogue controller would've allowed the targeting reticule to mapped to it, avoiding having to use the damn touchpad, alas it was not to be.
Luckily the stylus controls are ok, looks amazing by the way, very nice.
Has a very Super Smash Bros feel to it, with the presentation, manner of unlocking bonus etc all lifted straight from the latest edition on the Wii.

o1s1n · 23-03-2012 7:09pm

You can't control the game with both circle pads? what?!

So Nintendo felt the need to release a horrible black add on to get around the problem of not being able to dual analog stick control, release a game which everyone has been waiting for (and is billed as using the add on) - but does NOT use it's primary function?

The mind seriously boggles. That's really after pissing me off :mad:
