    Still remember my friend falling off the chair while playing ridge racer and using the controller like it was a steering wheel.

    Hey!
    Kerbdog did that back in 1985, playing Chequered Flag on the Speccy!
    He was on a stool in front of the tv playing the pack in game with the Spectrum 48k, you had to play on the keys as well, no joystick, and he was leaning into every corner, bear in mind he was only 4, and then over he went, it was priceless!!

    I remember when the chopper took off in Metal Gear Solid on PS1, I nearly creamed myself... seemed so realistic!

    Just bought one of these for my Dreamcast (and any future retro consoles I buy, *hint* PC Engine *hint*).

    Saved about €25 ordering it from the USA Inc shipping instead of nabbing one on eBay from the UK. I don't mind all these long delivery times while I get my set up together. Once the hard part of the hardware is done, the fun of game collecting can begin!

    SLG 3000 is next on my hit list!

    I think the PAL version is meant to be pretty hard to find. It's one of those games that isn't really recognised as rare though, so if it does turn up on ebay you'll probably get it cheap.

    Here it is for a tenner in Germany. Unfortunately he only seems to send to Germany though -

    €25 in Germany but he sends to Europe -

    I'm assuming though that the one for €25 is accepting offers. Throw him an offer and see what happens.

    Disc only copy for €12.50 Also in Germany. Maybe there's a secret stash of them there!

    That's the weird thing about ebay Germany. If you are ever having problems finding a PAL game, search it over there. Robocop versus the Terminator and Aliens versus Predator on the snes are NEVER on ebay.co.uk, but ebay.de usually has **** loads.

    Are Go's able to run home brew and are they region free? If any surface again at that price i might join you in nabbing one for a copy of Darius Burst and that schoolteacher game where he kicks kids heads in.

    They're actually not too expensive to buy secondhand, around the €120 ish mark. Of course a little haggling on prices can go a long way!

    Collected a modded SNES off o1s1n today, woo! Although upon plugging it in when I got home I remembered my power supply is fecked. Boo :(

    Turned out to be quite a nice fella just not much of a talker. Boxed Mario Advance 4 in excellent nick for €10, even had the original receipt with it!

    Yeah, I "got it", ahem, when it was launched and loved it before being distracted by something shiny in the corner of my eye.
    Now I have the 3DS and the DSi is with my son I want to play some of the better DS games I have only sampled thus far, one of the perils of having a very large collection of games for any format.
    Now I can dip into the DS back catalogue and pick up great games for next to nothing.
    Next up are New Super Mario Bros, 42 Classic Games (for old farts) and little bit of corduroy, sorry I mean Sudoku!

    Agreed, but I completed the 3d picross game, as well as the regular picross.
    I am currently playing Mario Picross on the GB Micro via emu, brilliant stuff.

    Wow doing better than me. Picross is still getting played by me years after I bought it. It's just great for long bus journeys and other long waits.

    May I recommend Ketsui Death Label? Admittedly it's boss rush only but it is great fun. Also Puyo Pop Fever and Tetris are great fun if you like the puzzlers. :)
