    He'll simply ring the Retro Escort Support hotline, and this nice lady will call to his door,
    and offer him an alternative but naughty solution:

    Two boxes of games greeting me at home when I got home, oh gawd redundant writing what well the tutor say?!
    Now that all I ask for in life from now on, that the girlfriend greets me with two boxes of Nintendo cardboard protected games every Friday. Is that too much to ask? And also no hangover in morn.
    Have to say that a wall constructed post despite my inebriation. Praise corrective spelling texting.
    Pics to follow tomorrow following sleep, Cheerios, fig rolls, massive cappuccino and enormous cookie, followed by a stress free day that peppered with fit rolls and black current Rubens and toast with jam and tea. And a fire beside a tv followed by sleep. That's Saturday sorted!
    Final Fight is kinda crap! Much prefer Streets of Rage. I want Kid Icarus 3D! Sleep

    Loved Max TT Superbike, back when we forgave the graphical limits and loved the fact we were playing the arcade game at home!
    It's more fun than the PS2 Manx TT games anyways!

    Well, Mobile Light Force 2 (Shikigami no Shori) arrived today, the worst cover art ever, bar none, well aside from Mobile light Force (Gunbird), which was a completely different game with the same cover, aside from the addition of the all important number 2 on the cover...
    Looking forward to playing it though.

    Played it last night and found, to my horror, they took out the Tate mode option!
    Why?
    When they expend so little effort in releasing these things why do they frak about and take it out?
    There's a space in the Options menu where it used to be, it's even detailed in the German instruction manual!
    Bugger!
    May have to pick up the Jap version, Shikigame No Shori instead, just so I can play it properly...
    Does that make me a 'Tate snob?

    It's why you should never buy PAL and only buy [OCD-SG-NTSC-JAP-OMFG-TL;DR] games.

    Picked up a Williams Whirlwind Pinball to restore, its been sat on a shelf in a warehouse for 10 years.
    I will start a new thread on it tonight when I make a start on cleaning her up
    Ive a full service kit including elastics, bulbs, etc due to arrive during the week
    Please ignore the mess in the background, the Machine was alot bigger than it looked in the warehouse so everything had to be thrown into the corner

    Just got home today and found a packet waiting for me.

    It contained this:

    And it's begin. Having stumbled upon an N-GAGE I unlovingly discarded into storage many years ago, I've somehow been compelled to collect each and every game for this digital testement to mediocrity. In one short week I've gone from owning one game to nine and I can't stop... someone... anyone... please stop me. My wife already thinks me as insanely ecentric for my NES and 3DO collections, how can I possibly explain to her my compulsion for collecting Nokia memory cards of all things?

    I heard Pocket Kingdoms is supposed to be great on it.

    To be fair there are a couple gems to be found, Pocket Kingdoms I hear is indeed one of them. Despite some framerate issues, Sonic N is a decent game as is Puyo Pop. Though there are no real killer apps for the sytem, my love for the N-gage has been somewhat rekindled, and as there was only ever 55 game released, compiling a complete collection is certainly achievable. Wish me luck :)

    Well well well, the cause of so much pain and suffering finally turned up eh. The least you can do is throw up a YouTube video of some gameplay on your tasty crt, when you get the time. :)


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


    I'll do a Raiden-style superplay using both 1P and 2P at the same time then. :D

    For goodness sake don't be seen making a phone call on it! The side talking looked ridiculous at launch, can only imagine how one's cred would suffer now!

    As a series 60 Symbian phone there are some decent emulators out there, gameboy and the like, the screen is the wrong orientation but it is still nice.

    Sweet mother of ****ing christ, this is the best thing I have ever bought and will ever buy in my entire life. I'm currently lost for words.

    Just a grey tshirt? So what?

    Terminator2.jpg

    TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY
    (1991)

    This grey t-shirt, with elasticated collar, was worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger as the T-800 in the
    1991 hit movie 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day'. This particular shirt is a 'stage 1' for use when he gets
    the outfit from the bar up until the Galleria, when the Terminator and the fake cop are searching for
    John Connor and encounter the shoot-out. The T-Shirt remains in fine condition and accompanies the
    original certificate of authenticity from reputable vendors 'ScreenUsed'.

    Yeah from a prop seller on the bay. They'd originally sourced it from ScreenUsed, a prop website over in the US. It'll be coming with a ScreenUsed COA.
