I also want a copy of Most Wanted, despite it living on my hdd.

The new one? It's highly enjoyable although rather short.

Just pre-ordered this on ebay. Hoping to feck it does actually arrive and is legit!





It's the limited edition, pokémon centre exclusive 3DS LL. Comes with Pokémon Y pre-installed on the system. Cost €260 all in all so wasn't too expensive really. Considering it's €300 on play-asia and pre-orders sold out very quickly.

lly dislike that the games come pre-installed, held off buying the fire emblem due to that.

Now that my computer collection is starting to fill out I have begun work on the SNES..
Got 2 games yesterday - my wallet fears what's to come!

If you're only starting out on the snes go the NTSC route. PAL games seem to go for stupid money these days, it's a lot easier to find ntsc games in good condition at a reasonable price.

I'd be reluctant to pre-order from ebay, you've already cut 2 weeks off the cut off point for a paypal claim.

Aye, I'm quite nervous about ordering it but I'm nearly sure it says that for pre order items you can make a claim from when it ships. Seller contacted me and said they'll ship it tracked and insured straight away too so hopefully it's ok.

A few random cheap bits from today and yesterday:

Got this in CEX for €6 mainly because it's got Haunting starring polterguy on it and I've been dying to play it since seeing it on Bad Influence.



There were 3 for €10 in the rage. The one that interests me most is the Chinese Elevator action. Never knew there were Chinese region Gameboy games but after some research found this article which gives more info on them.




And finally got these in Gamestop in Carlow while visiting family. I think MAG's servers are being shut down in Feb but it was only 99c.

Nice haul, Lego Rock Band is supposed to be excellent.
I like the Felix the cat Halloween game, if that is what it is.
The EA collection for the PSP is very nice, don't have it, must pick it up.

How could anyone say no to a Lego Rockband game? It doesn't even matter what tracks are on out. It would be cute as feck.

Anyways, got myself a copy of Shadow of The Colossus so now my friends can finally get off my back about the fact that I've never played it. It's in fairly good nick too. Slight tear at the edge of the case, but apart from that, it's grand. It's still got it's postcards in it too. More importantly though, I've finally found a mint condition copy of DMC3's special edition.

No pics but on a golf buzz at the mo..
Pga 1, pga 96 and arnold palmer on the meg..fiver for the lot in rage. Picked up a 3rd party snes controller there as well fof €2. There's a few left. .. cybertiger on the ps1 from a charity shop as well..

Neo Geo is actually a 24-bit system :pac:

Neo Turf Masters is brilliant. I've never had so much fun playing a golf game.

Leaderboard on the Amiga with multiple players was incredible fun back in the days .

It's 24-bit the same way the jaguar is 64-bit. It's got a 24-bit sound bus I think but it's a motorola 68000 based machine. It's more like a souped up Megadrive/Amiga.

The early PS and Saturn golf games look terrible now though,
Actua Golf, PS

Virtual Golf, Saturn


At least Mario Golf on the N64 is still good

Neo turf masters is class. During the summer when the weather was lovely I used the ngpc quite outside playing this game.

Apologies, the rom was much appreciated, thank you, would never have considered the job but ye suggested it, or am I insulting someone else now?

No, saw it on Adverts, it was previously at 30 but it was dropped to 25. I threw in an extra 2.50 for postage.
No online pass but, as I'm a billy mates, I don't mind.
