    Pick up a rare PAL Megadrive blue label variant last night from an Irish ebay seller. (well I at least think it's rare, I've never seen it before)

    Here's what F1 by Domark usually looks like in Pal, there are usually a good load of copies on ebay. (As far as I know it was called 'F1 World Chamionship in the US, but just F1 here)

    Here's the one I picked up (No manual unfortunately). A blue label version with the full title of 'F1 World Championship'.

    http://www.ebay.ie/itm/220934335712?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

    Ebay ended auctions only has one other one of these sold.

    Must look into this one more!

    Nice little charity shop find today.

    No manuals and both games were filthy. Soul calibur had what I can only hope was peanut butter complete with hair stuck to it :( But after a quick clean they look acceptable now. Can't really complain for €2 a piece.

    Dublin City council just called to advise me they'll be delivering a skip filled with GET's! on Monday (actually my 'deliver to' app said so).

    I'm on vacation on Monday and I'm not going to be in work to collect them. Some decent GET's! at that. :(

    In fact please take away the internet should he begin to mention frame rates and/or how something has aged.

    Also are you single? ;)

    Hello Mrs Retr0,
    I met Retr0's dad once, seems like Retr0 v.05 tbh....

    Also, has she seen the context of the images?
    The fact that Retr0 is trying to be as sneaky as Mr Sneaky the Fox who has just obtained 1st class honours in sneakiness from the Dept of Sneakiness in Trinity College?

    Slipping things quietly in the back door again, have we Retr0?? ;)

    Playing my new Wonderswan with some nutty Gundam game, I'll figure it out eventually.
    There seems a lot of WS games on ebay but the price seems to entirely depend on how understandable they are to english speakers ears!
    I have some more games on order, all in all it's a cracking little machine, pity they didn't launch it elsewhere.

    Been meaning to grab my copy on the iPad. Is there much of an article on Metal Slug or is it just a page or two?

    I was worried it'd just be a bog standard retrospective, full of info I already knew. But it's more interesting that that. It's an article more to do with the games origins and tracing it back through one guy who's come forward as being a member of Nazca (who pretty much just went by their alias in the credits)

    Really nice spread too. There's a two pager full of sprites and original artwork.

    If you clck to buy a mag in the Retro Gamer app, you can preview every page of the mag before you buy it. Albeit in a super small window, but enough to make out if you want to buy a particular issue.

    Checked out the Metal Slug one, think I will buy it as a celebration of adding a Metal Slug X MVS cart to my Metal Slug collection this week. :)
