I would have been of the same opinion, i didn't expect much. However, gamecube games don't look pleasant on a big LCD through RGB, blurred edges, washed out colours, etc. On component, it looks excellent, F-Zero and Mariokart are sharp and the detail shines through.

Did some reading about the operation of the custom IC chip within the component cable, but i've forgotten most of it, interesting that they would go to that degree with a cable though.

I actually don't think the Gamecube is fully suited to lcd. It's on a knife-edge, but the gamecube for me looks best @ 60Hz RGB on CRT.

I feel the same way about the Wii. I don't think its suited to an lcd at all.

I got the official component cables and hooked it up to a few lcd screens and it just still looked pants. Grabbed an official rgb cable and hooked it up to the crt and it looks great.

A bundle of new additions for my collection, all acquired from Rage last week. My apologies to anyone who may have ventured there after my retro-shopping spree, I did leave the NES section looking slightly spartan

The SNES version of Alpha 2 is a collector's item, not for any reason relating to its gameplay. It shouldn't exist, the SNES was dead at the point of its release, the first Alpha never showed up on the SNES and the game itself really shouldn't work, at all. Bit surreal waiting for a SNES game to load.

Retr0gamer · 29-08-2011 07:18PM

It's also a rather good conversion as well.

Here's a real collectors item:

wow! what a collections...

James Howlett · 29-08-2011 09:37PM

Just picked these up this evening.
My Zelda collection has only 2 gaps now, that is both of the NES games. I am of course not counting the CDi games and Four Swords Adventure.

But his writing career kinda went quiet, but then the large format fiction novel kinda lost popularity around 30AD or so...

CiDeRmAn · 30-08-2011 09:38AM

My new GbaSP arrived this morning, ags-101!
It's a bit scuffed and battered but the screen is immaculate and games look better than ever, possibly better than even the GbMicro can muster.
Plus this will play every game in the Gameboy series, while the Micro only plays GBA titles.
Nice!
I may pick up a replacement casing at some point.

Zombo, a waste of Henry Flint if you ask me! Was a fun novelty at the start but I've grown well tired of it at this stage.

Although if he did turn out to be a modern zombie jesus my interest may perk up again!

Excellent purchase dude.

/Edit: It's not cheap but the VecMulti is well worth the purchase if they are still available.

o1s1n · 30-08-2011 01:01PM

That slantyness you have on the bottom copywrite MB 1982 is the problem that's developed in mine. The vectors are merging and misalligned.

However the rasters (or whatever the vector monitor versions are called) appear to be fine.

Do they look kind of scrambled on yours? I thought it might be something to do with the pots...you think it might be the caps though?

alpahaeagle · 30-08-2011 01:04PM

Tell you what ....I will take a couple of photo's and you can see what I mean.......

katharinewheel · 30-08-2011 03:11PM

Newest additions:

Haven't gotten round to checking out 1945 yet but the GB Micro is proper aceness.

Mr.Saturn · 30-08-2011 03:19PM

Is that the twelve euro one off adverts? If so, I'll give you 12.50 for it.

Actually got it off one of my brothers mates for €40 with spiderman 2 in it.

Wait, there was one on Adverts for €12? :eek:

Mr.Saturn · 30-08-2011 03:32PM

Yup, coupled with the 15 euro copy of Gamecube Twilight Princess, ranks amongst my greatest adverts misses.

No one is ever going to beat that bargain you fuc...
Sorry, jealousy got the better of me there for a minute:).

o1s1n · 30-08-2011 04:03PM

That was one of the best adverts deals I've ever seen alright. Jammy git indeed

I think Sera's FREE Steel Battalion kit is another contender for best deal ever.

Wow, that really is a steal. And everything boxed too.... :eek:

Yeesh, that copy of zelda alone must be worth almost twice the asking for the lot.
