Check out the games that look like pirate copies -

They're not pirate games. They're unreleased prototypes!

Thread about it here -

Damn! Lucky guy!

Most awesome thing I've seen all day:

I don't recognise most of the music, only the ending theme to suikoden and Megaman 2 wiley theme.

I don't want to go into details on what happened when Wiley's theme came on, but I'll be needing a change of pants

A bargain like that only comes once in a lifetime!

I think I got True Crime when it was relatively new for €10 or so.

If you paid over 10 euro for all 4 of those games now you'd get laughed at.

If you're serious about it you need to go around to every single one and ask if they have any consoles stored out back/upstairs. You'll get lucky eventually. There are bloody n64s everywhere. That, the Megadrive and the ps1 are the consoles I've come across most.

See the thing with charity shops is they're not allowed sell electronics I don't think because of the WEEE legislation or whatever. I've only come across an Atari 2600 in Rathmines the once. I passed on it even though it was a tener.

If there are indeed N64s everywhere I must follow you around someday and see if I can't find an expansion pak in one of them

. I would ask in the charity shops what they have in the back/upstairs but in most of these places it's either foreigners with little English or people with mental health problems ie. not very good at communicating so I don't bother. When you get some of the aul dears that's your best bet I suppose. I got chatting to one in Rathmines and she said she'd have a root around.

FFS!! That kinda thing pisses me off. Watch, I bet if I offer a tener for God of War he'll get all uppity and say "can't let it go for less than €45". Bleedin' chancer.

Gamestop curiously enough are charging €10 for GTAIII, Vice City and San Andreas as well as MGS3 Snake Eater.

Josey Wales · 08-05-2010, 17:50

I recently got GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas and Vice City Stories for €16 in total on eBay. All four are in excellent condition.

Got Little Kings Story for 12 euros in HMV on Grafton Street. Not retro but supposedly its an amazing gmae and I think it might become valuable since like all good Wii games, nobody knows about them and they don't sell well.

A friend of mine says it's a great game so must try get it at that price

Raystorm HD coming to PSN/XBLA:

http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/rays...rst-10-minutes

I won't be buying it since I already got the PS1 original off the jap PSN store but it's a fantastic shooter (despite the idiots in the comment section on eurogamer).

weeder · 10-05-2010, 01:32

just made a discovery, Pal snes games are the same width as cd cases, happy days there anyway my cd rack can get some use.

**o1s1n** · 10-05-2010, 14:13

That's pretty interesting to know. They've always been a pain to store/display. All mine are boxed away at the moment as I just don't know where to put them.

I was going to bid on this but the postage to Ireland is 53 dollars

Think I'll pass. Really want it though!
