New Get City, post here when you get something new

Yeah and the destruction was really good for the time aswell, later games like RF: Guerrilla had amazing destruction, damn good game actually, still pretty much the only game Ive ever played where you could knock a building "properly".

Wasn't one of it's selling points destructible environments or something like that? Was a bit of fun but fairly average overall. My first Half Life experience was the PS2 version, bloody brilliant that was.

Yeah there's been nothing else like the destruction in that game. It's still rather impressive. The big problem was that testing it would be a nightmare so the only place that has crazy amounts of destruction is the first area of the game. You can blow up a bridge to drop a tank and that was touted as one of the selling points but it's only for show. After that the destruction is extremely limited and most areas are filled with indestructible terrain.

Looks like I'm picking up a single player Tankstick this weekend for not much money.
It's an older one, pre USB, and I'm in two minds what to do with it.
Either I use it to house the Raspberry PI Zero and it work as a classic games thingy or I butcher an old crappy Saturn controller and reconfigure the Tankstick into a Saturn arcade stick.
What you think?

Star Lord

Which way do you think you'd get most use out of it?

I'd be inclined to say put the pi in it personally.

CiDeRmAn

I'm trying to find something for the PI but the Saturn stick might be cool, seeing as I don't have an arcade stick for the Saturn yet.
The issue with the PI in the stick is I'll wind up with a HDMI and power cable out the back, plus I already have an arcade cab.

What type of connection does it have?

Is it an X-arcade Tankstick or are you using the term loosely?

Maybe ask Kerbdog nicely to make up a converter cable for the Saturn!

CiDeRmAn

It's an XArcade device, but older.
It has a PS2 connection only, but that's okay as it would be easy enough to take the leads from each button and plumb them directly into whatever I want.
Or I could buy the upgrade kit from Xarcade themselves.

Edit: turns out the Xarcade people didn't use the typical ps2 pinout and so a cheap ps2 go USB adapter, about €3, won't work without altering the ps2 wiring.
Just as easy to rewire the think, either direct to the gpio on the RP0 or to the innards of an old Saturn pad, depending on which is the way to go.

I got AC Amiibo Festival. It was a fantastic price on Amazon for the game, Amiibo cards and 2 Amiibo

So, now I own a Tankstick....
Single player and the guy threw in the serial to USB adaptor as well, confirming it works, so it should be even simpler to get this working with the RP0.
Happy days.

Got this in the Funstock Easter sale. Refurbished NTSC version but is brand new. Read a little about some PAL games working a bit funny on them but thrown at least 15 at it today and all work perfectly. Can't go wrong for 30 quid, thanks to moxie for spotting that bargain.

Sad to see it go, it's a cracking example of the GBM

They do get a bit hand-crampy during extended sessions, but they are undeniably lovely!
Mine is the same colour too, got it from Ciderman a couple of years ago!

I've got a pink one

CiDeRmAn

I've got a black Gameboy Micro, plus a fairly hard to find official set of new cover plates and the little tool to swap them.
I also have a perfect nick box and inserts for a silver one, might try and pick one up, unboxed, cheapy cheap and sell it all as a minter complete one... pay off the mortgage, maybe buy that gold Nes!

Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, the game Elite Beat Agents is based on, and it's sequel.

Elite beat agents is such a gem on the ds.

The first Ouendan is even better. I prefer EBA to the second Ouendan though.

got these two just now.
I had 3 game and watch as a kid. The 3rd was was Popeye.
I owned octopus for about 12 hours in 1982. It was given as a bday present in St Malo and played it to hell as we sailed overnight to Guernesey. I was so excited to show my friend when we arrived that I dropped the game and watched if sink to the bottom of Guernesey port in slow motion

I loved St Malo, and Mont Saint-Michel, nearly a year ago already!
Gorgeous country you come from Ollie!
