    Not really retro but finally got Donkey Kong Country Returns for a non-rip off price of 33 euros. Arrived today. Also got my first 3DS games, shinobi :)

    Such a brilliant, brilliant game, save for a few waggle-related woes.

    I should mention I'm in no way wealthy. I'm just terrible at managing what funds I do have :o

    Pay the rent? Nah, there's a 64DD and FM Towns going for a steal online :D

    I have spent, most months, around €100 on gaming bits and bobs, and most of that is a steady trickle of DS games, Snes and MD, for a while some PS2 Shmups and other bits and bobs.
    Not a major spend but enough to keep the collection expanding gently.
    The GBA collection isn't bad, and I have most MD games I've wanted, the Snes collection needs some work though...
    I also have some repairs needed on the Colecovision, just haven't found anyone to open her up yet!

    I do know of a guy with an Odyssey for sale, the first one, with rifle, but it was way too steep for me.
    I bought a couple of bits from him years ago but he emigrated and left his stash here.
    I emailed him last year and all his unsold stuff, including the Odyssey, is still there.
    Must give him a shout again...

    Ciderman, just because you might have all the regular consoles, doesn't negate the need to show off a gamesroom. Heck, I've posted mine up a few times & I wouldn't consider myself to own anything out of the ordinary either.

    People appreciate the layout & set, just as much as the consoles that are in it. So charge up that Nikkon there & make with the damned goods already :P

    I had to put a load of stuff in the attic last night including my beloved Neo Geo. I'd sell off a lot of my stuff for a games room where I can have all my stuff displayed and can play it easily than my current situation. Be proud of what you have ciderdude.

    This arrived just now. After literally months of waiting for the perfect, complete copy to show up. Looks like a previous Japanese owner has written down some possible cheat codes? Found those little slips of paper tucked in to the back of the manual.

    Delighted with this, been after it for ages. :)

    I'd have thought you'd have had this years ago as your such a big fan.
    Is it hard to find in minty condition??

    It's been high on my list for ages, I made do with the awful Taito Legends 2 version while waiting.

    If it's going in to my Darius collection it has to be in perfect nick. A mint copy isn't hard to find, it's just the price for it is a little silly and keeps escalating (recently it has anyway).

    Got this one for the price I wanted to pay for it and it can now sit proudly next to my Darius Gaiden: The Movie Laserdisc. I suppose for the hoot I could store them in my Darius Burst: AC EX tote bag too. :D

    What about Darius Gaiden (PC Version)?
    Worth getting for the collection?

    Nice. Some amount of disk swapping. I remember SFII for the Amiga having 12 or 14 disks or something, although it was dire on that format.

    I don't miss the disk swapping days to be honest. This is for the collection, floppy drive emulators FTW :D

    Yup, that's me, although I would like to point out that I am not the oldest poster in these parts, and it's good to have a few people here that actually owned some of the consoles when they were new, my Difference Engine for example....

    I've always wanted a decent Fallout Shelter sign for some reason after playing the Fallout games.

    There are loads and loads of mint unused ones on ebay, but where's the fun in that? I wanted one which had been on a wall since the 50s.

    Finally got one! Even still has it's capacity sticker on it.

    Interesting piece of history attached to this one.

    Very nice example came from the sub basement tunnel of a local Knoxville hospital, just 20 miles from Oak Ridge's "Manhattan Project".
