    I'm slowly working towards a collection of ntsc-j Zelda games released on cartridge. Few more to get though, but the artwork is amazing. I'll post a picture of the story so far when I get my arse off the couch.

    My Everdrive N8 for the Famicom arrived today. Not happy with the blue case so will find something a bit better I think.

    Let's know how that Everdrive works out, thinking of picking one up. What colour shell are you thinking of getting?

    Will let ya know how it goes. I'll either get a nice clean game cart and install it in that or get shapeways to print me up something funky on their high end 3D printers. My 3D printer isn't good enough to print out a finished product I'd be happy to display.

    I might grab this 3D model, change it a bit and get it printed.

    Any examples of anything you have ordered from shapeways before? I would like to see them in the Gets thread.

    You've been awfully quiet about that 3D printer too btw! :p

    Not much to say about the printer really. I've had it a couple years now and use it for some of my non retro projects and general messing about. the print resolution isn't high enough for anything fancy so you need to sand down print jobs to get a fine finish to them. It's a makerbot replicator.
    I'm hoping to replace it with a Form 1 later in the year if I can confirm I won't have issues getting the print material(it uses liquid rather than plastic rolls).

    Not really videogame related but definitely retro related.

    10174861_10204600578957220_8810501812031853354_n.jpg

    Got the red ranger delivered and have the stand from an older purchase from Dublin City Comics.

    These Figuarts figures are expensive but well worth the money... they are so articulate! These are grown up big boy toys for display... or so I like to tell myself anyway.

    If any of you guys are into collecting toys for display I definetely recommend that you check out the SH Figuarts line, they do plenty of videogame related stuff too.

    Like this Mario:

    Not sure if reference 'Green with Evil' arc, or the fact that Frank never misses an opportunity to diss St.John publicly.

    So I somehow remembered the other day that I had a few sega's and an NES in my grannies house and since I only got into collecting recently enough I gave them a call and asked my grandad would he mind having a look in the attic and he said sure no problem. So I get excited as a little girl at the prospect of finding all my old games, I had so many Rpg's from a massive lot my dad bought me that I never played as a kid. I definitely recall a few megaman games and I had so many sonic games on the sega that Im itching to play.

    Anyway he calls me back and says this is all he found.- https://us.v-cdn.net/6034073/uploads/attachments/515526/314879.jpg


    They gave the lot of it away to my cousins. Ive never hated my cousins more in my life. Damn

    Picked this up in Argos for €7. More a tech demo really, but again at those prices I'll buy. This would have been a €45 launch title...madness.

    More to the Evil Green Ranger eps as opposed to real life drama.

    Or y'know... cus it looks cool. :-)

    Picked up just one more in Tesco today.
    Transformers Cybertron Adventures for the Wii, not supposed to be awful, solid little game and worth the 5 euro and the energy to dig through the games piled up behind the regular game shelf.

    I googled that site... and then promptly deleted it from memory, for the sake of my wallet.

    Actual, it is an awful, not solid little game and it is not worth €5.
    To CEX!

    Smyths in Blanchardstown have the whole set, Yoshi, Peach, Luigi and Mario, they are full price though, €44.99 a piece, so there's the guts of the price of a WiiU right there for a set of controllers!
    But they are wonderful....

    Actually, I know exactly how much fun you're going to have.
    Not much at all is the likely answer. ;)

    I got these one's off cdjapan cost me 65 for the two including delivery, think delivery was 15 with a tracking number and insurance etc, there was a cheaper delivery rate but it took longer to arrive and not insured.

    How does Mad Dog Mcree play on the CD-I?


    Looks like one of the better games there.

    I noticed you pulled a Steve SI with the few games to the right of the pic! :)

    I assume its a ball of crap like all the rest :)

    But for £1 each I couldn't resist. Will sell off the dups later on - don't all rush as once.

    Also picked up a GCW Zero console today but need to play around with it for a while before posting further on it.

    It's pretty much broken. Every tie you take a shot the ame pauses for 10 seconds to load the next animation. It's not even playable. The later laser disc conversions are a lot better.

    I'm doing something similar. I'm working towards a complete Zelda collection, from start to finish (carts & discs)...everything boxed & in good condition.
