It's like an alco falling off the wagon, isnt it? Same thing happened to me in January. I ended up spending a fortune. Had been good for months and months.

What you pick up anyway, anything tasty?

Exactly like that

Nah nothing out of the ordinary, some cheap £1 2600 carts, snes, Mastersystem Zapper, Sonic Spinball [yes, Sonic Spinball] etc. Oh I got Aladdin on the snes, really loved that game.

Sonic Spinball?! Do you not remember the childhood trauma, no?

I think it was £2 for a boxed copy...for the sake of completion and all

The discount code makes it ridiculously hard to talk yourself out of it

Something absolutely disgusting just arrived in the post today. I'm ashamed. I also lost something today, any shred of dignity anyone here had left for me.

I couldn't take a picute because just pointing the camera at this... thing melted it with pure evil so I'll use one stolen from google images:

well this has been a one of those weeks for me, lots of new things but nothing to show for it, car parts for a service and bills just to name some of the exciting things! I did get a new kick ass frying pan though!

Well I bought some car parts, ok and tractor parts too...I am a farmer sure, that all came to like 150, not so bad right, but then there's was the classic line "And with the VAT that comes to...."

bastards!

Sometimes I really enjoy not having a car

The hour commute I'm about to embark on is not one of them

Having a car is worth if, if nothing else, not to have to endure public transport.

Shudder.

Best thing I got this week is an email from MS confirming my cancellation of my xbox live sub. Hopefully no more email spam from them about it too. :pac:

Jesus Christ, he fixed a CD-i & gets Superman 64 in as many days.

I know, I'll have to buy something legendary like Super Metroid or Link to the Past to counteract the pure ****tiness I've recieved.

You seriously have to. There's a disturbance in the force.

Shudder.

The worst part of it is waiting for a bus on Abbey street every day. Sometimes I think I've accidentally wandered into Raccoon City.

Woah wait a minute.

You don't own Super Metroid or LTTP?

But you own Superman on the N64?

...

GTFO!

Retr0gamer

Once you get a car you'll never want to take a bus again. The lack of junkies and youths smoking 'adult cigarettes' at the back while playing **** RnB or 'dance' music on their phones is bliss.

Retr0gamer

I own both although LttP is the GBA version :P Have a PAL copy of Super Metroid and I stupidly bought it on virtual console as well.

Aye. A nice curio. There's a couple of official Photo CD's for the Saturn. I don't think there's any SHMUP smut though...

Nice, I'm about to get serious with my Saturn collecting over the next 6 months. Any recommendations are welcome.

I plan to get a few different and rarer Saturn consoles and then start collecting the games properly.

Should be fun(and pricey).

Not sure what Saturn consoles you have, however I adore my Model 1 NTSC-J Saturn. If I was to buy another Saturn, I'd love a Victor Saturn.

Some nice stuff in there. I've got a couple of Saturns already, an NTSC-J one and a standard PAL one as well as a dead one. Have a good few games including the obligatory Radiant Silvergun X2(3500 yen each a few years ago in Tokyo, the games not rare by any standard over there) but haven't really done much in the way of collecting.
I did pick up Panzer Dragoon Saga last year.

Isn't that the game Pantryboy got too? Definitely get a Victor Saturn if you are going to collect the consoles. I believe it's the Victor (aka JVC) console that has both the photo operator and VCD card built in.

It's more expensive than a standard Saturn, but it's very cool and looks great. I think Goldstar and Toshiba made Saturn consoles too.

I picked that up over the summer alright. As close to mint you can get it without it being VGA graded really. Had to after playing Retr0's copy, absolutely amazing game.

I have Zwei but haven't played it yet. My Saturn is set up, yet I find myself playing RefRain Prism Memories instead...

Is Saga that rare across all regions?

o1s1n

Funnily enough, Zwei is the only one I don't have

It costs a bomb in English. The PAL version is by far the nicest. It's also the rarest. The Japanese one isn't too hard to find, but doesn't go for a lot like all Japanese RPGs.

The source code of the game was lost, so it aint ever going to see a rerelease. Only way to pay it is to shell out for an original english copy or get yourself a some dodgy pirate discs!
