Post here every time you get something new!

Dr Bob · 07-03-2011 10:47am

I got these on friday but only got a chance to post today.
The SMS II was one of the infideals ones, the later sonic one (I missed out on the Alex kid version!), and the SMS games were pretty cheap so I nabbed these 3 (yeah World soccer is doubled up on the master games cart as well, only copped that afterwards ..still it was only a quid!).

Steve X2 · 07-03-2011 10:58am

I got the Equalizer cart working now. Opened it up and could see that the solder had come off from a tiny section of it. I'm no good soldering but i used a hot needle to melt the loose solder and fix it up. Did a decent job considering I had no soldering iron.

Works perfect now

CiDeRmAn · 07-03-2011 2:35pm

Just got a cart only Moonwalker for my MD from ebay, cost 12 blips, not sure why, perhaps the viewing of Captain EO in Disneyland Paris has affected me more than I know....
I probably start blowing bubbles next!

Optimus Prime · 07-03-2011 2:43pm

I bought a perfect boxed copy of that off a guy on adverts a week ago for 7quid, i checked ebay and the prices for it are crazy, is it even rare that game or are they just inflating the prices because he is dead now?

on another note, you know that poster you get with a megadrive of sonic and all the catelogue of games on the back, did that come with a megadrive or with the sonic game?

o1s1n · 07-03-2011 2:48pm

I'm pretty sure that poster came with Megadrives..but I'm not 100% sure. Recently enough I got my hands on a lovely CIB Megadrive and that poster was under the cardboard. I think it had been there all these years and nobody had found it. The thing is mint.

Which reminds me, I really have to frame that poster!

Oddly enough, Moonwalker always sold for more than it should...but Mr Jackson's death made the price sky rocket.

As a matter of interest, you should play up to the graveyard level and see if you have the rare version with Thriller in it

Optimus Prime · 07-03-2011 3:07pm

I want to frame one myself, i only ask because i bought a megadrive off adverts a while back and it had two of them in it, both perfect so i wasnt sure if it was from the game or console.

Is there a way to tell if moonwalker is the special edition from looking at the box?

alpahaeagle · 07-03-2011 3:20pm

I think it came with the Megadrive. As I have included in the box when a bought a boxed megadrive from Augmerson. Still in perfect condition.

o1s1n · 07-03-2011 3:20pm

You got two? That's interesting. Would it fit in a game box when folded up?

When I got my very first Megadrive I only had the one poster..but the console came with Sonic. Maybe later versions had a poster in the console box and then one in the cart box?

Only way to find out if Moonwalker has Thriller in it is to play up to the graveyard level and do the special move. If it does, Thriller will start playing while they do the dance. If not, it's a different MJ song. ('Another Part of Me' I think)

Optimus Prime · 07-03-2011 3:24pm

haha cool ill have to give it a go, i was only playing it last night!

Yeh they both would fold up into a small square, they both where in the plastic bag with the megadrive manuals, maybe you get it with Sonic and the megadrive i dunno. one of them anyways had never even been unfolded. Thinking about putting it in a frame but i dunno how it would look with all the lines on it! I might have to get her to Iron it first.. :pac:

pdbhp · 08-03-2011 6:16pm

CiDeRmAn · 08-03-2011 9:44pm

Does the hanging tag on the Demolition Man do the recently discovered clicky thing when folded down?

Optimus Prime · 08-03-2011 9:53pm

Ha, I just checked there and this one doesnt have the little thing to hold it down. must check my other ones.

James Howlett · 08-03-2011 9:54pm

I found a game earlier today with that little piece of plastic (I think it was Comix Zone)..ironically, some moron had cut the hanging tag off!

Optimus Prime · 08-03-2011 10:02pm

Sonic 3 has it i just checked there, and some other game i have but have instantly forgotten between my games room and bed room lol. Both have that blue style box.

Steve X2 · 08-03-2011 10:29pm

My Datel Gamebooster arrived for the N64 today. Works fine but that god damn song it plays all the time is driving me mad.

.

o1s1n · 08-03-2011 10:55pm

One problem with the Gamebooster is that it doesn't play any sounds from the Game Boy game in play, instead plays a tune over and over, being one of the main problem with the game cartridge.

Hahahaha!

For that reason alone I want one. Sounds too odd to be true.

Were those posters only enclosed with the console or did you get some inside game cases too? While looking at this clip phenomenon I noticed a few of these posters inside some games. Found an Eternal Champions one and a couple of the Sonic ones, the US version of the Sonic looks nicer, in-game pics on the back rather than artwork.

DickyC · 09-03-2011 12:19am

These are the latest additions to the family, the bad news is that I had preordered Death Smiles but my 360 died before I got a chance to play it:mad:. Don't know if its worth trying to fix it or not.

Now that you mention it, I do remember there beong a poster with Eternal Champions.

Is this the poster you found in the games?

http://cgi.ebay.ie/SONIC-HEDGEHOG-INC-POSTER-SEGA-MEGA-DRIVE-COMPLETE-/360327540664

So I guess it did come with Sonic..the people who found two must have gotten one in Sonic and then one in the Megadrive box too.

Sorry I meant the poster was of Eternal Champions, can't find what game it was inside now. Yep that's the Sonic poster alright, actually have 3 of them it seems, 2 PAL and one US. The US one has a different back to it.

I've always liked the wider japanese boxes, street fighter and megaman look awesome.

DickyC · 09-03-2011 1:02am

Why is Japanese cover art so much nicer.

was it Wonder Boy in Monster World? the megadrive one(with a rubbish SMS port)?.. or Wonder Boy in Monster Land (the WB sequel which was in the arcades and had quite a decent SMS port?)

CiDeRmAn · 10-03-2011 2:08pm

Well, its the followup to Wonderboy III, and that I also have.
Looks like fun, it'd be cool to find a repro of Wonderboy VI with the english translation, is it anywhere I wonder?

ghostchant · 10-03-2011 2:15pm

Just got Mega Man X for the snes in the Rage there, just missed out on getting Castlevania IV though

Well they have the rom translated, stick it on a flash cart and happy days. Just apply the translation to an original Jap genesis .bin rom.

Retr0gamer · 10-03-2011 2:59pm

If you want a rom translation then the only place to go is here:

Don't buy repro's, they aren't worth anything.

Do they sit next to the dilithium crystals in the warp core? Or is that the flux capacitor I'm thinking about.

They turn a white horizontal line into a glorius full sized image

It's what was wrong with te Ridge Racer monitor, I just got a a few of them just incase. Apparently they're fragile enough, & my other monitor has the exact same chassis so handy to have spares I guess.

I was holding off spending too long on the cab due to the type of repair I had to do. The old one had thermal laste all over the back of it, & it sits flush against a metal casing so I presume they get a little toasty. My botch-repair didn't really allow for proper cooling so I limited play to a few games, but now I can play until my arms are sore from opposite locking :rolleyes::P
