Post here every time you get something new!

o1s1n

I saw this idea on another forum and thought to give it a go here. Title says it all. - Any time you buy some new arcade or retro goodies post about it here so we can all admire/drool in jealousy.... (And plan to raid your house :pac:)

Pictures optional...but better!

Not quite with me yet but I got this http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260496932187&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Nice one. Looks to be in good nick. Lots of them seem to have the Neo Geo logo partially worn off due to use. Tis annoying!

I took some photos of stuff that has recently come in the post. Apologies to anyone on dialup/slow connection. Must hate me with the amount of photos I've been taking



Symphony of the Night. German/French instructions but the game is totally in English




Future Cop LAPD. Haven't played this yet but it's in perfect condition.




Sub Terrania (Always forget how to spell that!) and Target Earth






Probotector for the Megadrive. Newish..no box though. Going to have to make one for this I think


Virtual On. Cheers corblimey! Also in mint condition.




Pedobear loves MUSHA.

AV cable for N64
Classics Collection for the Sega MD - Gunstar Heroes, Altered Beast, Flicky & Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle

Some stuff does seem to be getting through despite the strike in the UK!

NeoKubrick

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Xbox). It amazingly has VGA support, and it has a replay function that the PS2 version didn't have. It was a bit steep at £10, though.

Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon (Xbox) for £2. Always heard good things about the series. No backwards compatibility, though, which is a shame.

Atavan-Halen

Got Halo 2 and Gran Turismo (which I'm very happy about due to a non working copy I have) today.

o1s1n

Finally got Kurushi in the post. And Galaxy Force 2.

Just after winning a working Gamegear with

-GLOBAL GLADIATORS

-SONIC

-SONIC 2

-COLUMNS

-ECCO THE DOLPHIN

-LEADERBOARD GOLF

for a grand total of €12 including postage

CCCP^

Was well happy with that alright

7 euro of that is postage. The auction ended at 5.00. Was another example of the great bargains on ebay.ie!

o1s1n

Got Moonwalker for the Megadrive. For a decent enough price actually given the silly money it has been selling for since his death.

Supposedly it's another game with a couple of different revisions. First one has the Terminator in it.

corblimey

Not a game, but retro-related, just took delivery of the RetroGamer eMag DVDs 1 and 2, 55 full issues of RG. I'm using them to decide if I should get into another retro console (PC-Engine anyone?) or eat.

Tallon

Got a megadrive II today, along with 10 GB game cases, alleyway (excellent game) and Deadheat scrabble (terrible terrible game)

All for €6

Also picked up another one of those space invaders plug-n-play things for a friend €2

o1s1n

Won a nice little Gameboy lot on fleabay -

Gameboy
Gameboy printer (With some paper!)
And a few carts.



After getting the printer I thought I'd need the camera to go along with it! Managed to get one for next to nothing.



(Pics are screens from ebay)

Going to have to bring it along to this beers and take 8-bit pics of everyone

Tallon

I hate you

o1s1n

The gameboy lot was only 6 euro . Camera was 4.50.

Seems you can get them crazy cheap on ebay.

Next step is to try and mod it with a backlight!

Atavan-Halen

Wow-ee! Those are some great purchases o1s1n! I'm armed with babysitting money ATM so I'm trying so hard not to spend it on gaming but with such great prices on ebay, it's not easy.

Ronan|Raven

Neo-geo 1 slot aquired from this forum and a 111 in 1 multicart purchased from arcademachines.ie on ebay,( yes a multicart look upon me with disdain but my current financial woe it is the best for me until I get cash for the individual carts!) Just wish my supergun would bloody arrive!

CCCP^

Quake III Arena for Dreamcast, which I will attempt to play online if possible.

Ronan|Raven

I fear to think how one could play quake with a joypad!

I'd join you, but a) I long ago disconnected my house from the feens in Eircom and 2) I'm rubbish at FPS, but let us know how you get on, on the interwebs.

New games, but retro console. Still counts, right? DUX and Wind & Water Puzzle Battles for the DC.

o1s1n

Oh ffs.

Won a gamegear tv tuner auction. Was all excited. Until I went to pay.

The guy doesn't accept paypal. To add to that, he's based in Austria.

Who doesn't accept Paypal in this day and age?!?!

:mad:

Just want to watch tv on my gamegear


Here's a pic anyway!

What's DUX like? Was considering getting that.

Atavan-Halen

Got some MGS disc 1, TOCA touring cars, Die hard trilogy and Destruction Derby 2 on PS1. Also got Shadow of Memories on the PS2. And GRID on the 360 but that doesn't count :P

I've played it for about 20mins and am not a huge shmup fan, so not the best person to ask. It looks and plays alright to me, though.

Gameboy Micro - Limited Famicom edition

The edges are a bit worn due to use (Explains why it was a fraction of the cost they usually go for)

Nice, picked one up brand new and sealed in a gamestop in the middle of nowhere in the states during the summer, best part of the trip! Had been sitting there ignored for years.

"New" (see other thread) steering wheel and 3 DC games - Space Channel 5 and Ecco are sealed, but you can betcha I'll be opening them this weekend (although I also just took delivery of MW2 so might go for a bit of non-retro for a few days)

Would you not sell Space Channel 5 and Ecco on ebay as sealed games and then rebuy them? I'm sure there's a Dreamcast sealed game collector out there who'll give you a decent price on them.

You think? I've actually got quite a few sealed games (inc my pride and joy, a sealed REZ, mmmm), but I've always wondered if they're actually factory sealed or just really well done home-made versions

A few ebay deliveries today. Got Mega Games 2 (Golden Axe, Revenge of Shinobi, Streets of rage), Sonic 1 and Desert Strike for the Megadrive. Still waiting on Starwing for the SNES.

I had gotten Jet Set Radio from eBay which was sealed and I was sure it was done later on by somebody else to increase the value, it was only about a tenner mind. I did get a Typing of the Dead recently which was an original seal, it even had DC product registration flyer still inside and was mint.

Got Silpheed and Soul Star for the Sega Mega CD today. Just the discs, no original case, but don't mind at all.

Boxed or unboxed? I have extra copies of most of those games in one form or another!

2 unboxed spare copies of Mega games 2, 3 unboxed Sonic 1's a boxed Sonic 1 and an extra copy of Starwing.

God damn it I need to start selling my doubles! :pac:

Been holding out for the trading forum but I might just give in and stick some up on adverts. But ..ack..the allure of trading sounds more fun.

All boxed, Sonic and Desert strike also included manuals. The Desert Strike box was EA Classics branded. Building up a nice Mega Drive collection now, considering I only started it a few weeks ago.

Actually Starwing isn't boxed, don't bother looking for Nintendo boxes as they are only cardboard.

I'd be up for trading some stuff too. I have quite a bit of DC stuff thats duplicated or orphaned, some GameGear stuff I haven't quite decided on yet, and a solitary SMS Teddy Boy that I don't know whether it works or not, as I never had a SMS.

Any reasons why there couldn't be trading?

Atavan-Halen

I can't see any. Quick to the Gen. discussion thread before this gets OT! I always feel bad for bringing threads OT

Actually, I'd take it to the trading request thread in the forums forum. Good to keep her alive and going.

Right, to get this back on topic, some tiny almost irrelevant purchases -

Sega Nomad replacement screen cover
Scart f to f adapter (For my Mega Super Gun project..going to allow me to put a female scart connection on the Megadrive shell)
GBA flash cart & charger for the GBA micro.

Bought Double Dragon 2 for the nes and ghost pilot for the neo geo

Have a load of bids in the pipe line so fingers crossed

Found an Irish ebay seller flogging a few games cheap. 2 euro piece.

Valis - Sega Megadrive (Boxed)
Robocop 3 - snes
F Zero - snes
Robocop 2 - Nes
Kabuki Quantum Fighter - Nes

Really happy getting Valis for that cheap. :pac:

o1s1n

Bought this today - (Note, this isn't me in the video, it's the ebay seller )

He has two for sale. One was a normal auction, the other had a buy it now of 150 sterling attached to it. I checked this morning and the buy it now one had been sold :O
So I thought all hope was lost for me on this one. Apparently not. Got it for half the price the other person paid. yay!

corblimey

Finally arrived, I've been waiting for this little beauty for a few weeks now. Beautiful. What's got 2 thumbs and won't need to mess around with bloody DC-X anymore? This guy.
