I always wanted a Toshiba Libretto, little paperback sized PCs, running full Windows 95 as well, always thought they were cool.

Bit of an ebay splurge there, Ducktales caught my eye. As did one or two others.

Pyongyang · 02-03-2012, 18:21

These arrived today:

1. Complete set of Bomberman Nintendo DS styluseseses and a set of pry tools for iPod, DS, PSP etc.

2. Zero Wing and Hellfire [NTSC-J, Mega Drive]

**EnterNow** · 02-03-2012, 18:23

Pyong, where did you pick up that SFC Super Aleste that time?

Parawind · 02-03-2012, 18:25

+1 for the Hellfire love!

Picked myself up a copy of Blinx: The Time Sweeper in Rage today, not too retro but a game i had always meant to try out.

**johnny_ultimate** · 02-03-2012, 18:26

A non 'All Your Base Are Belong To Us' copy of Zero Wing? Shameful stuff

**CiDeRmAn** · 02-03-2012, 19:01

Talking of Toaplan, I have a mind to pick up Fire Shark for the MD.
I always loved it on the Spectrum and it feels, at times, like a proto Raiden, not sure why, just does! It goes for about a tenner or so, postage extra.
Did it ever get an EU release on the MD?

Andrew76 · 02-03-2012, 20:57

Nice shmups Pyong, they CIB or cart & case? Artwork on the Zero Wing box is cool. Damn those ebay "Make an Offer" buttons, picked up another board today not expecting my offer to be accepted.

@Ciderman: Not familiar with Fire Shark, was that not a bit late for a speccy game though, 1989? Had a look at a youtube vid of the pcb and it does have a bit of a Raiden vibe to it actually, looks good.

Fire Shark was the western name for Same! Same! Same! by Toaplan. Awesome game, one for my collection in future.

Hellfire is CIB. Zero Wing is cart and case unfortunately. But the price was beautiful so hence the purchase. I'll buy the manual or buy a CIB another day.

The meme is grand but I'd rather have the original as God intended.

**atavan-halen** · 02-03-2012, 21:20

Picked up the NR reader this evening. Haven't looked at all the discs yet but I'll throw up pics when I can sneak it into the house without the mother noticing. If she knew how much I spent on it well let's just say retr0s mother wouldn't have **** on her!
