Aww that's a curse.Maybe a friend would buy it for you if they have paypal.I've done it for friends lots of times.

There's a "wanted" section where you can request something on adverts.Trying that might be better than just looking through ads.Good luck.

...... sign up for it?

They can draw from a bank account, or you can get a credit card, or you can just get a 3V card and top that up https://www.3v.ie/
They cost nothing, E2.50 top up charge, and topped up in a few places, nothing is out of your reach if your willing to look hard enough :P

I agreee, would be cool to be able to go in and see all the old-school games/consoles and buy them there and then.

But when you can get games as cheap as you can on Ebay it's too easy.

I picked up Goldeneye (probably best game made for N64) and V Rally delivered from UK for £2.50. Bargain:D

Cheers Magnus, looked in Gamestop in there, they dont do N64 games anymore, don't think there is another Game store downstairs. Theres HMV, Game on Eglington St, Smyths, Xtravision, Tesco and Argos that do games and none do N64 anymore

Oh and wooo 1000th post

Well hopefully the Galwegians here in Arcade & Retro will point you in the right direction.

I'm pretty sure I've a second copy of mario kart 64. I'll have a look for you. Can't get you a controller. I've 3 mysel but only 1 has an analogue stick you don't have to fight with.

do not fret about not having a paypal account,some sellers will accept postal orders/personal cheques as payment,so check the listing for payment methods...
