    LET ME HERE YOU SAY YEAH!!!!

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!

    Every time I hear that song I imagine a 90's night club where people are stuffing their faces with pills =/

    I do love a bit of 90's everything though

    You dont need to go to the 90's to see that, its still there. Just the music is different now

    I know, but I was reading a book on ecstacy in the 90's and that song came on itunes. Thus there is a connection!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Also, this song brings back memories



    Back when my mam worked in microsoft she brought home a burned CD with "property of Microsoft do not remove" stickered all over it with that song on it. The CD was gold instead of silver on the back and all!

    fyp :P

    Somtimes that random button seems to just know exactly what to play, wonder if theres ever going to be a usb device that picks up the mood in the room and plays the according music

    Think this might be on repeat in my house

    I suppose you have to be as ancient as Adultappleflavouredbeveragemale and I to appreciate, and even remember this series!

    Not sure if it was broadcast in Ireland though, maybe just the UK. Sheesh, I'm that old I remember when BBC1, BBC and ITV all had 'closedown' in the TV listings.... and I very vaguely recall the launch of Channel 4. :o

    More interesting info about this proto. I chanced my arm and asked the guy where he got it. (I'm a total whore for knowing where things like this came from)

    He said he got it at a car boot along with a load of dev stuff years ago.

    If you think about it, this means it hasn't been dumped. As if someone knew it needed to be dumped, they wouldn't be selling it at a car boot. Plus the fact that they HAD it at a car boot to sell it, probably means they're close to the source.

    I r excite.

    You can't beat a good dump!

    You like shmups. I'll dump this all over you if you want?

    Here's a song to celebrate the occasion



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,328 ✭✭✭Pyongyang


    Ah but you and I are in agreement. You won't dump your proto, I won't be ripping my Darius laserdisc. :)

    Was dead early for dinner with the lads tonight so popped into Rage not expecting anything. Ended up finding one of those legendary games in there for a good price. A game I never shut up about. To think that Edge only gave it 8/10 as well. Image attached:

    That's mad alright,I thought you guys were still in National Mourning. Ya see, the Irish postal service could learn a lot from the North Koreans


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,328 ✭✭✭Pyongyang


    North Korea is truly a cornerstone and leading example in efficiency and a shining light in how our 'dear leader' built a postal service with his own hands and formed it in to a benchmark in quality deliveries that other countries strive for (excluding Russia, China and Cuba. Who are all amazing).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,328 ✭✭✭Pyongyang


    These landed this morning. No use for the RPG Maker due to the Nippon text (but it came as two cassettes in the lot), Dezaemon on the other hand... :)

    Oh forgot to say I noticed a japanese SFC parodius cartridge in rage for 17 euros yesterday, was thinking of picking it up but sense prevailed. Not enough sense to not buy overblood though. Thought it might be of interest to some people, not sure which parodius game it was.

    My guess is it was Gokujo Parodius. And €17 is ridiculous if it's a loose cart. Any of those Parodius games on SFC, if they are loose carts, are worth no more than €8-€10 each in good nick (for a loose cart).


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 53,260 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Glad I didn't buy it then. I know it was very big with importers thanks to super play so not even that rare outside japan.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,328 ✭✭✭Pyongyang


    I stand to be corrected but SFC-wise I 'think' Chatting Parodius would be the most valuable loose cart, but I could well be wrong on that one.

    €17 for a loose Parodius cart is way too much though. Well done for walking away.

    Right I'm off to lunch, might take a walk up to Fade Street... :D (I jest! I jest!)

    Had a good day today,
    slipped away to Game in blanch and picked up the following,
    Operation Flashpoint: Red River, for 9.99! discounted since yesterday.
    LA Noir, for 6.99!
    Prey, for 6.99 as well.
    Bulletstorm, for a tenner
    and
    Dead Space 2 for 9.99 too.

    Not sure what's going on but Game are heavily discounting their preowned stock.
    I was there last night at 9pm and most of those games were more expensive, especially LA Noir which was around the 20 mark.

    I was looking for Deus Ex as it had been 16 euro but they were sold out.

    Love that game. One of my favourites of 2011. Also without a doubt the best soundtrack of 2011 by a country mile.

    Enjoy it, it's brilliant. :)

    I'm in two minds about it. Can't decide if I like it or not. Maybe it needs more playing!

    Finally ordered this on play asia.



    Been wanting it since it came out! Also might have a Korean PSP go on the way too.

    I used to do night duty as a student nurse in 1990 and the tv was awful!
    As it was a residential unit I was in you'd have to watch something and all you'd have would be UTV, the only channel that broadcast all night, unless it was the night you got "selected pages from Oracle" or something :(
    However bad tv was at 1 in the morning, nothing would prepare you for the utter mank that was on at 4 or 5am....
    There was this awful british/spanish soap opera and, I sh1t you not, I'd rather watch a documentary on stoma care again than watch it....

    In the UK, every channel would close with God Save The Queen played over a flying Union Jack over Buckingham Palace.

    You'd see the flag flying for a while, then the screen either cut to black and a test signal would play, or it would cut to yer wan with the doll and the chalk board and some 'light Jazz' would play over it.

    On ITV, C4 and occasionally BBC2 you would get 'pages from Ceefax' (on BBC) and 'pages from Oracle' on ITV and C4, again, mixed up with some 'light Jazz'.

    As a kid I remember sneaking downstairs a couple of times to see what 'Closedown' was in the TV listings as I thought it was a show where you saw everyone in the TV studio turning things off! :o
