    That is a nice set up. I take it the Master System was his console of choice growing up?:pac:

    First time on boards, Kkv's brother, yeah I loved the master system, still do, Alex Kidd in Miracle world was the first console game i completed, Its only two weeks ago since I fitted the room out, id been threatining to do it for a long time!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,565 ✭✭✭✭Tallon


    Alex the Kidd is my fav game of all time, I played that thing for hours.
    If my mam would take away my games, I would play it since she didnt know it was built in...

    I still need a master System though :(

    Anyone got one?

    Wasnt hard, the room was just full of consoles, dvd's cd's etc.. with no storage, it was a big mess, at one stage you couldnt open the door to get in! So, as im not working much at the moment, I got off my ass bought the materials and spent one long saturday fitting it out, shes much happier now because its neat and tidy, i even gave her a press (with a door) for storing make up etc:)

    Wow, some very nice stuff there! I'm loving the boxed virtual boy, Famicom + Disk system and the little old school crt :D


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 53,290 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Bet you are afraid to use that disk system in case the elastic belt goes! I wish I could post up my collection but it's juat a complete mess at the moment. Most of the stuff is in the attic with a bunch of consoles left in a plastic container and games littered absolutely everywhere.

    Afraid? Try terrified! Have the box with the inserts and all, will probably pack it back away at some point, scared of even knocking it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    I don't think the belt is too hard to replace if you know what to do though.

    Ima tidy my room today and if I can find my camera (which has run away somewhere) I'll pop up pics.

    It's actually a total bitch. Being nintendo it's a custom proprietary part that's a different size to most elastic bands and standard elastic bands don't have the correct elasticity for the system to work. You'll see a load of the disk systems lined up in shops in Akihabara awaiting repair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Ah right, I thought it was the opposite =/


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 53,290 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    They break very easily as well. It was the japanese version of the RROD but in the 80's :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Oh I know they're easily broken :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 95 ✭✭MvsC3


    Some very tasty stuff there ghostchant, Do all the Nes's and dreamcasts work or is that how many you've gotten through!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,750 ✭✭✭ghostchant


    My original NES needs a new 72-pin, though the other two work fine (although most of the NES games need a good clean!)

    And the Dreamcasts all work fine, 2 are PAL, one is US and the black R7 is Japanese. Need more tv cables though, only have one (excluding crappy rv cables). Will have to invest in a vga box, or at least a couple of RGBs.
