    I bet Steve Si has it!

    Feck it, for another 70 I can just buy a Turbo Duo and play them from that, as well as all the CD based games, will just build up fundage for that instead.
    Thing about the auction is, those convertors are, apparently, very rare, not just ebay rare but really hard to find, and this guy has 6 of them!

    What the frak is this and is it relevant today if you don't own such a monitor, like could the output be co-opted into something else and what would the quality be?
    Megadrive to Commodore Monitor Cable

    .

    Despite the price, a bunch of game like is akin in beauty to the coral reef.

    Oh wait their N64 games! More a like a big mountainous pile of Triceratops dung.

    Not really I'd say.

    And for the amount of effort involved you'd be better off just cutting one end off an RCA cable and soldering your own custom cable.


    Here's another strange thing in their shop:

    Did you buy it? I just went to click Buy It Now and it had gone. :mad:

    Says Post to UK so hopefully he ships here if someone did nab it.


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


    Yeah, I was going to use my UK address and forward it anyway.

    DAMN! Gutted about that one, would have loved to get it. Ah well, another day... :)

    it is nice all right.
    Pity its so damn pricey. Anyone here got one? Worth it?
    I'm sure pyongy is eyeing one up for its shmupy delights.

    Just wondering, if I sold a kidney, not mine you understand but someone elses, I might have the money for it...
    Anyone want to call over to mine?
    Bring a set of scapels will you?
    Mine are all dull with overuse!


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


    Hmm, Pantrylad is awful quiet.

    And Adultappleflavouredbeveragemale and Stefan Emmanuelle Ulysses SI are posting Darius and PC Engine stuffs in either a bid to a) throw me off the scent, b) butter me up in some odd way or c) all of the above.

    I think you three are in league with each other and one of you has bought it, or, to refer once again to the great Martin Prince, you all clubbed together to buy the game so the last one of you alive would have the honour of being buried with it.

    I smell a conspiracy!

    Thank ****!

    I was staying offline for fear I'd end up buying it as I just can't pass up a good deal. Thing is, even if it is a good deal, it's 70 odd euro I don't have to spend on games at the moment!

    Hmm... I think we need to strap you to a lie detector! :D

    Ah well, someone got a reasonable bargain there. I'm semi-glad I didn't get it either having an XBOX to glitch next week and buying Under Defeat HD (limited edition version with CD, Superplay and Poster) today amongst other things like booking hotels and stuff in Japan.

    That said, I am gutted. What a game Garegga is. What. A. Game.

    I'm surprised your not going for that sealed Darius Plus. It's sealed so it contains one of the required coupons for Darius Alpha :D

    I can't remember if I have this game or not. I do have Super Darius, not Super Darius II though. Darius Plus, I'll have to check. It's one for the collection though for sure but I'm not fussed about a sealed copy, I'll never own Darius Alpha and I'm a bit late to enter the raffle! :)

    Underdefeat HD?
    Will that be available here?
    Or is it a japanese only XBLA thing?
    Bugger it!

    Nope. Japan only. Are you telling me you never read my interview with G.Rev!? :eek:

    Check the SHMUP PORN thread for a super long gameplay video of it.

    It's a physical release. I've got the super duper limited edition one on the way to me which comes with the soundtrack CD and a superplay DVD. It also comes with a poster which is super limited quantities as it was handed out by G.Rev for pre-orders! :D

    Dammit!
    I will just have to play the DC version instead!

    A copy of Megaman 2 on the gameboy up on eBay. New and sealed budding jumped from €0.99 to €2440 inside a couple of hours. And here was me hoping to get it to get it.


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


    This is for K.O. Kiki

    I wish there was a Jim version though. :(

    It's gone up even higher. :eek:
    The thing is the box doesn't even look to be in that good a condition, there's a little bump on the top of it.
    I'm sorry, even if I had the money I don't think I could got that far.

    Oh, by the way, did anyone keep an eye on that World Chamionship Soccer 2?

    It didn't even have a booklet, and look what it sold for! :eek:

    Jesus Christ, wonder if I could buy a complete version of the greatest hits series and take out the front insert and see if I could get a big price for it that way :P

    If there was a high resolution scan of the blue label inlay then you could really rip someone off. As all you'd have to do is print it out. The cart label is exactly the same.

    You'll never find a high res picture of that game. I've tried, but am pretty sure one doesnt exist online anymore.

    I did see one a couple of years ago but the owner then took it down very quickly. Someone probably warned him that it would make it really easy to duplicate and devalue his game.

    Some sealed Dreamcast games in Da Rage apparently, including Crazy Taxi, House of the Dead and Jet Set Radio.
