    Hey Kev, your plenty cool with your full arcade at home :)



    I can ask, but I don’t think the seller is looking to post. Just wants a call to house and collect I think.

    It might be best for me to ask them to arrange to get an ad posted in the marketplace as I really don’t want to be involved too much in this as it looks like I’m almost a reseller here :)

    Where is the seller based?

    Thought it would be more expensive elsewhere, not very rare so. Surprising.

    I like the way the kill screen comes after you and changes from the standard one screen idea.

    Edit : Highscore 3817 , poor performance

    I never posted a link to a shop before but I find this chap an honest and reliable seller. His name is Steve Bailey and he's based in Japan, he's selling on ebay years but is getting disillusioned with scammers and all the red tape that goes with selling on Ebay. Most of his stuff is listed on his fb page first, then moved to his online shop or eBay. Everything arrives very quickly by tracked post, he was good enough to track down specific games for me.

    I'm fussy about the condition of the stuff I buy and I have yet to receive anything that dissapointed me in this regard, sales aren't limited to games either. I think it would be great to have a sticky thread of recommended sellers or shops to give people options outside of eBay. I have nothing to gain financially from sharing this but I have got some sweet stuff from him over the last year or so, everybody needs ntsc-j goodness in their lives, just don't mess him around.

    it's a pity though that he's selling in £, the € is in the toilet right now, and the only currency worth buying in is the Yen itself.

    You can get the pcb for about 70-80, which is what makes it extra insane :eek:

    Been that ridiculous price for a while, no?

    I recall being very happy with a cart for €35ish. Now a boxed version goes for stupid prices but then of course we all know how important that SNES cardboard is.

    I really hope the prices drop at some stage over the next 20 years. Would be nice.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,844 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I'm baffled by the price of Sunset Riders as well. Firstly it's not a rare game at all, every rental place had it and it sold well. It's also a very pared back port of the far superior arcade game. There's also the fact that it's a good but hardly amazing run and gun game, with Contra 3, Hard Corp and a few other similar action games like Rocket Knight Adventures being far superior. It's a good game to have in the collection sure but it's hardly a classic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,014 ✭✭✭✭Corholio


    Classics and price don't often match though. None of the very rarest SNES games are classics in anyway, the very opposite in fact, the likes of Cool World, Whirlo, Brawl Brothers, Space Invaders are all rare for their own reasons. Sunset Riders has been high enough price for ages now, it's popular and people like to have the physical copies of it. It's also a Konami game which in the retro collect world stands for a fair bit. The likes of Castlevania, Turtles in Time, Adventures of Batman and Robin, Sparkster etc all fetch pretty decent prices. For what it's worth I love Sunset Riders, not near as good as the arcade version of course, but still a good game.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,844 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Yeah I think it's a case of what happens to Nintendo games and FF7. The more casual buyers remember it and buy it driving up the price and demand to silly levels.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    It's probably no harm to be honest, to see such non outstanding games reach such epic prices while decent solid and brilliant fare on the Snes, like Cybernator, goes for €15, delivered free (not including parcel motel fees). link

    Loved Cybernator, but all that dialogue....it actually takes you out of the game at times.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Well, I have always loved that game, for a long time the only game I had played that made you feel like you were in control of a mech of tonnage, with it's momentum and inertia preserved,


    at least until this!



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,844 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    They cut the anime portraits from the english release and an enemy commander that commits suicide from the western release. The portraits make the characters a lot more relatable. It's worth playing the fan translation.

    It's worth checking out Gunhound EX on steam if you like Cybernator. It's a japanese doujin game that absolutely nails the cybernator gameplay, so much so in fact that the developer is developing an official sequel in the Cybernator/Assault Suit Leynos series.

    I have the Snes version, but I might pick up the PS2 version as well, looks pretty nice.
    Target Earth or Assault Suits Leynos looks a bit ass compared to Cybernator, so much for blast processing!

    It looks like ass and plays like ass. Half the difficulty of that game is just how much ass it is!

    I love Assault Suit Leynos 2. Best out of the bunch I reckon.

    Super Famicom art book, I really want this book and hope it makes it out this time. Steve told me about a similar one but it got pulled from kickstarter, I'm not sure if it's by the same people, but it looks really nice. I may actually do a Steve and order two.

    This looks fantastic, reminds me of the Sega Mega Drive book that came out a while back.

    Pity they're not doing a Famicom version first, especially with Pat Contri coming out with his NES book soon enough.

    I would love a dedicated Subset Riders cab. Never even seen one in Ireland


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,844 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I played on one in Court town in Wexford years ago. It's the same as the TMNT 4 player cab with sunset riders artwork. It's a thing of beauty. Any other time though was on a generic 2 player cab.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,790 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    The simpsons is the same cab aswell?

    Turtles in Time has the best artwork of those cabs anyway but id settle for any of them

    A multiboard cab with Sunset riders, tmnt & turtles in time and simpsons would possibly be the best thing ever

    Fun Palace in Bray had a Sunset Riders machine. Can't remember if it was just a generic jamma cab or the real deal though.

    Yeah a dedicated 4 player cab loaded with 3-4 player PCBs would be amazing.

    Controls would be an issue though as you'd be pulling player 3 & 4 from the kick harness...still, one can dream!
