    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

    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. :D

    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! :D

    Nice one man!

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

    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.

    Just the one purchase from me!

    78df1128.jpg

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

    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...

    @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?

    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.

    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.

    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:
