Came in the post yesterday..Atari 2600Jr Black.......:D Big Pics coming thru, sorry about the size......:rolleyes:.
Came with 5 games:

Missile Command, Kangaroo, Pole Position, Galaxian and River Raid.

Needs a good cleaning but all working otherwise.

Just a few bits from ebay and adverts.

Very happy with the GBA, got it quite cheap and its in decent condition. I never had one back in the day because the unit screen put me off, I was also out of gaming at the time, I was a student and was busy spending my money on ber, beer and more beer. The screen though is lovely in the right conditions and happily my kitchen as well as the smallest room in the house are perfect;).

The main reason I bought it was to play some old GB games I found at my Mother's house recently, has been nearly 20 years since they got played and they really feel retro.

What you can't really see here is the badly damaged DS case from an Ebay seller. If I may be excused a brief rant, the fecker used a wafer thin plastic envelope (which the game is sitting on) and then after being spectacularly rude, suggested I had no grounds for complaint because no one else had ever complained and that I was some kind of noob who didn't understand how eBay worked. Its all a bit pathetic for €9 worth of DS game but the whole thing has put me right off ebay completely. Rant over.

Ha, I got Henry Hatsworth in the post last week. Good taste! Have yet to get stuck into it yet though. I'd make a dispute against him and look for a refund. Nothing worse than a product you're not happy with, even if it is a good bit of hassle.

FFS! how much effort does it take to make a little square package out of cardboard? Lazy seller.

valleyoftheunos

He offered me a refund of the game but not the postage which was a ironic considering that was what I was complaining about.


Can't be bothered with a dispute claim, its all ended now, I left him poor feedback because he was so rude and unpleasant and he's blocked me as a result (not that I'd be buying from him again anyway).

It'l be cheaper and easier to buy something from the bargain bin in Game for a couple of euro and switch the cases.

I thought Henry Hatsworth was a good game. I never beat it though, it gets super tough.

As mentioned elsewhere I just bought Okamiden for the DS, looking forward to playing this one.
I was surprised to spot it in the preowned rack in GS, had some mental wrangling over if to get it or not, I guess my heart won over my head, seems the euro release is rare enough.

I got a game boy advance copy of Sword of Mana from ebay recently. Stated it was in perfect nick, not squashed, ripped etc. Got it and it was in bits like an oliphaunt sat on it. Mentioned it to him and got a similar reply. Hate ebay. Haven't even played the game in protest.

Damn you, I want it badly but not badly enough that I'd drive all the way out to Balbriggan to get it:pac:

I just paid 3.99 including deliver for an empty gamegear box and 5 empty gamegear game boxes. I dont know if i should be happy i have a box for the gamegear now or slapped for buying empty boxes..

Retr0gamer

For a moment there I thought you had fallen for the old 'Xbox box' trick.

Optimus Prime

haha this might be worse as i knew they where empty. :pac:

Ah the old buy an empty box trick, when you open it all it contains is air, hardcore retro air

Just got Dreamcast and N64. DC came without games but I've got Zelda Majora's Mask and two sh!te sport games (baseball and soccer).

I'm so excited, never had DC before, neither N64. Need to get RGB cables for both, pity that my LCD doesn't have VGA in.

Retr0gamer

The N64 doesn't support RGB unfortunately. If it's a NTSC machine and the right model you can modify it to RGB. For PAL models you are out of look. However you can use s-video which is pretty much the same quality as RGB. However on PAL N64's you'll need to get a modified s-video cable. I got one from consolegoods.co.uk and it was well worth it.

Thanks. N64 is PAL console, I can live with that.

Does DC support component out? I know that vga mod is possible, but as mentioned I'm out of luck on that as well.

Retr0gamer

No component. Also the VGA mod isn't a mod, all you have to buy is a VGA box. Well worth getting RGB or VGA for the Dreamcast, it really suits the visuals. The N64 looks absolutely disgusting in composite or RF, probably the worst console I've seen through these outputs so s-video is really essential.

This turned up the other day from eBay. It is in pretty good condition.

Picked up this yesterday, an HP DV6-6001SA and bought an extra stick of RAM for it, so it now has 8gb of RAMtastic goodness for pure, unadulterated Doujin SHMUP ACTION.

YES.

Good man! You'll love the DC! Make sure you mod chip it though!

@safetyboy I'd love a GB Micro! Can't find one for a fun price though. I'd really like the Famicom one, but any will do I guess so long as it's in good nick.

safetyboy

Picked it up on adverts with Mario for €20

Next stop - Gradius Advance!

Sorry about the Quality as my camera died on me, and had to use my phone ( without a flash ):rolleyes:

Pyongyang

Lovely stuff! Is that case brushed aluminum or plastic?

I picked up some titles I've been after for AGES on Adverts today. I got:

Mobile Light Force 2
Castle Shikigami 2
SNK Arcade Classics

Homura

Super duper.

Thanks! I'm going dual flash way with retail/dev bios. What else does the chip do? My dc reads backups anyway?

Nice! Risky..but nice! Doesn't matter though, a chap of your standing should be able to fit those boys in with no bother.

The chip you fitted for me allows you to play imports and backups. The region flash is the switch mod. However your double stack BIOS mod should sort you out nicely.

I'm looking at adding an SD card to mine at the moment!
