    Mysterious Cities of Gold Boxset is being sold in Virgin or the shop formally know as
    virgin at the moment, as is a few of the old cartoons like Thundercats etc.
    I could have sworn I saw the Read Ghostbusters a few days ago.

    I bought a Rubix cube last week! Just for the laugh.
    Still selling and for 15 Euros!!

    'Storybook International' now there's a blast from the past! Isn't that the one where the fella sings at the start 'I'm a storyteller, and my stories must be told etc' and then a foreign fairy tale with a woman's voiceover telling the story?

    I meant to add- I bought the old Pink Panther whole series of cartoons last year on sale in 'virgin' at the time. Dead funny.Also a Charlie Brown collection.:)

    Rollergirl - Luv U More on CD.
    Now trying to track down CDs by other artists/groups, e.g. Alex Party, 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor....
    Damn but dance music from the 90's is a b1tch to track down on CD at times, it's all 12" vinyls!:(

    Nice! Is it just a stand-alone machine or do you have MAME etc running on it?

    Master of the Universe


    I'm sticking to original hardware with this one. As fun as MAME is, I just had to have the real deal.

    At the moment it has a 1 slot neo geo mvs. It's handy as the games come on cartridges rather than big PCBs. You just plug them into the slots like you would with a console.

    Actually I've been having more fun with it than any of the current generation of consoles.
