Yeah I found that about him as well. When he sold me Megaman X and the Mega CD I felt bad and told him it was worth more than what he was looking for and he said he got them cheap so is passing the price on. Totally sound guy.

I'm friends with Retro on facebook he's on the level, he get stuff cheap and hate to ask Crazy , so if he asked 20 he sold it for 20.

I know, I'm simply a cynical git from Adverts type shenanigans. I met him, nice bloke and bought a few things from him.
He says if he comes across another he'll let me know, so no worries.

Prices seem variable tbh

It is to a degree, it looks/sounds like a a shelf ware game but its quite well made, how wide an audience does a digger game have? It build like a kids game for 20 something .

It many be more obcure then rare, but I've only seen 1 copy lol.

Here's a really interesting joystick for a good price.

It works with both the PCE and the Megadrive.

It's a clone of the Neo Geo AES stick (apparently it has microswitches too!) and oddly, the buttons are modeled after the Megadrive arcade stick.

I had an offer of £24 but withdrew it as I just don't have the space for another stick.

I can't find any info about them online anywhere. Oddly, there's a compartment at the bottom for batteries and looks to be a wireless indicator light on the front of it. I wonder did it originally come with a wireless receiver too?

One down side, the cable has a bit of a break on it. It works, but requires some fiddling. Easy fix though.

Nah they've been selling off their gaming stuff a long time now. there was plenty of 360 and PS3 stuff in there too along with things like VCR to DVD kits and the like. Most of the stuff is unofficial though. I bought the headset to use with the 360 and pc and schtuff

although thats just to make myself feel better about not owning a wii u

Very low volume on these make them hard to recommend based on the already low volume of the gamepad (and 3ds!) turtle beach m5's are a great alternative way to go for a cheap set of headphones for the wii u.

If it came with Mario 3D World and a Pro controller then it might be mildly tempting. Will wait til Christmas and see how it looks then I reckon.

o1s1n · 28-01-2014 11:42am

So it's 275 for a WiiU with Mario 3D World? That's very tempting indeed.

I'm really starting to warm to the idea of this gamepad screen. Just kind of dawned on me how much I'll probably enjoy it as I really do love Nintendo handhelds (and it could more or less be viewed as a fancy handheld)

Only the limited edition Zombi U bundle came with it I think?

I tell you what it's great for, proper, proper Snes emulation. The vc stuff on it is class, & honestly, as a controller itself, it's perfectly fine. I have yet to use my pro controller, over a year on.

I use the pro controller a fair bit with Mario 3D World... Land or whichever it is.

It's a bit annoying that it doesn't work with Sonic: Lost World though as the battery in the WiiU Gamepad is shockingly bad.

I can't have a PSU connected to it as I game either as the charger is wired to a docking station beside the TV.

It was my birthday some time there after Christmas, horrible time, and my other half done me up a lovely card and its centrepiece was T-Rex eating George Contanza. As one of my favorite lines in any movie comes from Jurassic Park and its, 'when you gotta go, you gotta go.'
Anyway that movie scared the crap outta me as well when I was younger, just the bit where the Rapter opens the door. Couldn't sleep all night, fun times.

Yeah up until that point I was safe in the knowledge that if dinosaurs ever came back to roam the earth again, we'd all be safe behind our locked doors.

Give them a few weeks and they'll be picking locks too

But its crap apparently. The HD port was lazy and half-assed.

The only time I saw a 100% legit gold cart for sale was when Pat the NES punk got his. He bought it from someone who had gotten it from a competition winner and he had proof of the original purchase and Nintendo official list of winners.

Did Pat pay mega bucks for his?

Jack burton · 28-01-2014 6:43pm

He never said...I'd say around the 15'000 mark. They seem to usually go for around that.

He offered both of them on pawn stars for 35'000...grey and gold carts

Let me guess... *cracks knuckles

Pat walks into the store, & says he has some rare Nintendo games to sell. Gives the shpiel on them, & names his price.
The guy behind the counter more than likely just so happens to have a buddy who knows about these things, & will come in and advise.
The buddy comes in, verifies the carts & puts a value on them.
The guy behind the counter then sticks in a low ball offer, & explains its a business they run & they can't offer retail prices
Pat concedes slightly
The guy behind the counter goes up a little
They're both miles apart & call it a day.

It will of course, not have been a complete set up from the beginning, & had nothing at all to do with generating publicity or discussion

Chum Lee - I'll give you 25k for it.

It's nonsense, with all due respect to that chap, he's only there as a tourist attraction as he's part of the tv show. He shouldn't be anywhere near big dollar deals like that, & I very much doubt he ever is.
