Got Backyard Wrestling 2 on the xbox for 2 euro, XIII and Dead to rights on the cube for 2 euro each and a brand new PS1 multi-tap for 15

Tomb Raider: Legend out of Game. Played Anniversary and loved it, excellent game. Not so gone on Legend, alot more shooting involved. It's like TR 2 in that respect. In the first TR you didn't have many human enemies, but in this one, you kill more people in the first 3 minutes of gameplay than you did in the whole of Anniversary. Still it's early days yet.

Picked up Killer7 and Zone of the Enders last week too. Had Killer7 on the Gamecube before but didn't play much of it, ZotE was the same, ended up selling it off before giving it a proper try, heard alot about it after so willing to give it another shot.

Picked up a fair few Ps1 games today, will post up a list tomorrow as they're all still in work. One that caught my eye was Final Fantasy IX, is this rare?

It's not rare but it's desirable. Late release ps1 game. Lots of people didn't like VIII so didn't bother with it.

Usually sells for between 20-30 euro.

Finally i got a complete copy of streets of rage, should be here in a few days

'Oh sorry, you just missed out. Some guy called Oisin dropped in and bought it all yesterday. He was cackling on the way out and mumbling something about the band Van Halen. Was actually quite strange now that you mention it...'

*Camera zooms into Halen's eyes as the light reflects off the metal of the samurai sword*

"Oisin...."

Got Jaguar XJ220 for the SCD during the week, nice to have a racing game on Mega CD but it's not very exciting unfortunately. Good soundtrack though.

It might be the Dreamcast random reset problem.

If so take a look here for easy fix:

The DC is noisy but not too bad.

Cheers Jonny.

I was trying to play a game earlier and kept reseting itself, over and over.

I followed the guide and now it definitely seems to have improved. I'll give it a few days before saying that it's completely fixed, but it looks good.

Atavan-Halen

Got all that stuff in which I mentioned in Gen. discussion

o1s1n

Got a Dreamcast arcade stick. Good price too!

Should hopefully do much better in Ikaruga now.

Edit - Got a VGA box too. This is going to be sweet. I have a spare 22 inch monitor. Going to hook up the DC to that, rotate the monitor and have some nice full screen shooting action!

Managed to get Capcom collection 2 on the ps2 for 4.50.(I bought the first one full price when it was released)Thankfully like all the other retro compliations I have (atari/Midway1-3/activision) It runs fine on my Ps3:))

that was a pic i found on net,too lazy to upload them,you could join the world of spectrum forum so you might be able to revive the machine,although from the sound of it,it sounds like its gone to silicon heaven,could try get an 48k speccy and load games from mp3

****! I never thought of looking to see if he had some games.

I was trying to snipe that auction and exactly when I was about to press 'submit' at the 10 second mark my girlfriend decided it would be funny to grab my hand away from the computer. Had to dive across with the left. Lucikly I made it just before it ended!

So now I have two Gamegears. Hopefully this one won't have buggered up caps.

suppose could always put in million euros in the max amount your prepare to pay on ebay,although it could happen someday!
