100-120 for shipping. It's like he's not happy mugging you on the price of the thing and want's to twist the dagger a bit more before he pulls it out.

Comical, considering that stupidly large VGA console case must be adding a large chunk to the overall weight.

What was the name of the helicopter game from the 1980s where you rescued people?

You know you're old when you have played a proto of Angry Birds, on a Babbage Difference Engine!
Had to be careful though, the gears could take your finger off!

Speaking of the 19th century, I would be more of a Tesla fan than that hack Edison, just speaking the truth!

I wish I lived in the US sometimes. I keep seeing stuff like this from my US facebook friends commenting on the retrogame stores there:

Famicom games in this instance. Duck Tales 2 went for $35 dollars and I've love a copy of samurai pizza cats, Joy Mecha Fight and SD Splatterhouse. You won't find them in RAGE.

They are all crazy shapes and colours. It's a great machine to collect for.

That actually does more harm than good, it's not advisable.

To answer your question, take a look at the opening of japans most popular retro games show:

Yes. A GC RGB cable however won't. It's weird, the only difference between the two is some resistors which if you remove make it work on both a SNES and GC. I think nintendo were just trying to make money on proprietory cables.

Quick question, anyone familiar with Castlevania Chronicles for the PS? Just wondering how much one should pay for the... cough cough, PAL version?

o1s1n

It cost me about €15 two years ago but seems to be climbing in price.

Hi Lads, I'm buyin a few gamecube games off a lad on paypal. The boxes manuals etc are in Spanish but he says the games are all 100% English language. They're Pal obviously. This sound right? I would have assumed the games would be Spanish too but he says since they're Pal there in English

o1s1n

Lots of European PAL games are multi language and you select which language you want when the game boots.

As Oisin said about the lanuage menu as an option. With the Spanish manual they should cost a lot less than the English one.

"The boxes of Nintendo games (GameCube, DS and Wii) from PAL territories all have a little coloured triangle on their spines, but in each territory it's a different colour (to show the region that copy of the game came from), Some common ones are: Green = UK, Pink = Spain, Red = France, Light Blue = Italy, Dark Blue = Germany, Brown = Australia. There are 49 different colours. As well as geographic region it is also to do with the language of the box art & booklets, though PAL region Nintendo games are made in Germany, the Triangles show the region that the game is shipped to."

Ok so I just came across this game called "Vanark" on ps1 whilst browsing YouTube. Looked on eBay and there was only an NTSC version available. Did it ever hit Pal?
Looks class. I'd never seen it before. Is there any other games like this out there for ps1/2?
Cause I loooooove starfox/Lylat wars!
