    I do indeed :D My walls are covered in Kerrang posters (not Calvin Klein ones as ciderman seems to think). Bought it every week (or 2) for over a year then stopped as I needed the money to fund my gaming habits :(

    Heh, seriously man, you'd be crazy to open that 32X if it's sealed.

    You may be right, I might just sell it and buy a crappy open one for cheaper and pocket the funds.

    Resident Evil 1 fer PSX.

    I got a couple of GBA games during the week. The reason I got them was the cool boxart. The games are all in mint condition too which is a nice bonus.

    The Jap GBA game boxes always look amazing and tend to have amazing artwork too.

    That really does look lovely!

    I take it they were ebay purchases? Not exactly something you'd find at a carboot sale :D

    Yep, from eBay. I came across them randomly. I was looking for something else and just clicked on the link to see sellers other items.

    Picked up a few things today off that guy I met at the car boot a couple of weeks back.



    DSCF1153.jpg?t=1277641553

    A couple of Ps2 memory cards.
    Ntsc copy of Devil May Cry 2.
    A Nes ,which turned out to have Castlevania inside ...yahoo:D
    Forza Motorsport for the Xbox ,which turned out not to have the disc inside ...Boo:mad:

    I also picked up a few more PS2 Promo discs again... nothing outstanding though.
    DSCF1154.jpg?t=1277642074

    This time I got...
    Legaia 2 - Promo
    Mortal Kombat : Deadly Alliance - Promo
    Onimusha : Warlords
    Metal Gear Solid 2 : Sons of Liberty - Demo
    All for €20,so a good morning overall.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,162 ✭✭✭Augmerson


    Wow, great finds Dark well done. The first Castlevania was always my favourite. Is DMC 2 an NTSC version?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 276 ✭✭Dark Savior


    Cheers Bud.Yeah,it the Ntsc version alright.I already have the Pal version but the artwork on both the cover and manual is waaay better on the US copy.We really got shafted when it came to artwork compared to the US/Jap releases :mad:.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,162 ✭✭✭Augmerson


    Thought so too. Even from the side on view where your looking at the spine it's much better. The PAL boxes are just bland, boring white with black text whereas the NTSC cases are unique to the game. I only ever saw one PS2 game that looked like an NTSC title, Super-Bust-a-Move.

    I suppose it really depends what consoles you're talking about. We did get shafted with the ps2 artwork. However for the Megadrive it was the Americans who got particularly done. Not only did their console get a ****ty new name, many of our covers were closer to the Japanese ones. Plus the US got those damn cardboard cases at later points. Ugh!

    Great find anyway. Nice to see those promo discs being given to a good home and not just chucked :)

    I just got a PM from one of the guys over in the airsoft forum saying he found his Megadrive stuff in the attic and was offering it to me before it was chucked. Score!

    Anyone out there with a Dreamcast stick or Saturn Virtua stick they want to get rid of? I've been trying to hunt one down for ages but the postage from the UK and Europe is just too much :(

    Actually, I did finally find one about 5 months ago. But it got lost in the post. Argh! I'd forgotten about that.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,162 ✭✭✭Augmerson


    Fairly sure a DC Arcade stick was on Adverts within the last 3 months?

    Dreamcast stuff always seems to sell in seconds on adverts. You really need to be fast to get anything there.

    I just really need it for Ikaruga. Feel like I'm not reaching my true potential with that game using a D pad!

    Ooooh, pretty!

    Are you looking for swaps or to sell? Actually I think I may remember you mentioing before that you were looking to sell that.


  • Posts: 0 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I'm not looking for much to trade at the moment, unless it's a PCB I want, or a new Polo monitor chassis! So I suppose it's to sell. In any case, PM me if you're interested.

    If you use ebay, look out for a seller based in Canada. He usually has a few. Costs 25euro delivered. Well worth it.
