Visited Balbriggan market this morning, looker pretty poor but then found a saitek snes fight stick, tunnel b1 for the ps1, the Go Ape music cd from around the launch of Donkey Kong Country and, the best of the lot, a perfect Nes Four Score multiplayer adaptor, all for a fiver. Saw some PS controllers but they were very grubby I'll get some again.

Feck it, strolled back and got two grubby PS controllers and an Xbox memory card for 3 euro. I couldn't resist!

New purchases:





It's being shipped out tomorrow to me. It's brand new and sealed. No idea what the 2nd box is though! And not a bad buy at £22.98 posted. Also should be collecting this:



At the weekend so lots of Japanese pokémon goodies

So, what the heck is that in the last photo? A pokemon game before it was called pokemon? A knock off? I am entirely ignorant of the whole field so forgive me, please...

It's just the Japanese version of Pokémon green. We got Blue and Red over here and instead of Blue, they got Green in Japan! It's the exact same game though

A bizarre case for sure How the hell did the documentation survive & the box didn't?

It's a weird one. I bought a Snes in a charity shop years ago with about 20 games. All the games came with their booklets and any other documents which were in the boxes...just no boxes.

You think if someone was freakish enough to want to keep every single bit of paper that came with the game then they'd have kept the boxes too?

Anyone into Jag stuff? This guy has a pretty amazing collection he's selling off -

For $899 you could own one of the two known Atari Jaguar 2 prototypes!

I'd quite like to buy one of those AVP sample carts.

Yeah, A bargain indeed

I have the Catbox at home but it looks different than the one he's selling.
My one is stealth black in colour instead of the metalic silver on his one.

Did they make more than one type?

Haven't a clue about your Catbox. Is it made by ICD?

I didn't realize those things were so expensive.

That's not freakish at all.

I did that as a kid (still would if games weren't DS-small/optical discs).

You keep the manual because it shows you how to play.
You discard the game box because it's just worthless nuisance.
And you keep the console box because it's big & you can store all your crap in it

Yeah, They were the only ones to make it I think.

Nice! I loved Starblade. If I remember rightly it had a gimmick cabinet screen no? Wasn't it 3D or something? I forget. Not like the Sega Time Traveller hologram game I mean.

Something about that FZ-10 design I love too, one of the better looking consoles I think.

Congratulations on a fun purchase.

Picked up a mint copy of Shadow of the Colossus in GameStop for €11 might just stick it up on adverts or fleabay since I already own a copy of it.

A few nice items this week

First up, most recent purchase at the car boot sale this morning. Not much at all at it but did come across a lady who was selling a bunch of random controllers and accessories so picked up a Dreamcast VMU, SNES controller and Rumble pak (I think) from her for €2. She had lots of DC controllers and a few GB games but I didn't really want more.



Not really a purchase but was clearing out my nanny attic for stuff she wanted to sell at the car boot sale and came across a honeybee MD adapter that I thought was throw out long ago!



Then picked up from a fellow boardsie the Jap Pokémon green. It's in great condition and every leaflet it with it! Also the Jap GB game boxes are amazingly cute.



And then finally the Jap Pokémon channel. It was brand new and sealed but I want to play it :P Comes with the game disc and then another disc that has something to do with pikachu. But the actual plastic case is in this cool translucent yellow Also comes with some e-reader cards inside too! Anyone know if the cards are region locked? I've a US e-reader.



So yeah! That'll be the extent of my purchases for a while :P

used to use a honeybee adapter for mercs on the MD, jap version:)
