    Not even close. Above this is the MSX 2+ which costs a fortune and then after is the turbo r which is a rare beast but not many worthwhile games on it. The msx 2 will play near everything worth playing on MSX but even just playing space Manbow on it which is MSX 2+ enhanced there's a lot more slowdown and doesn't look quite as nice as videos on YouTube on a 2+ so that would be the one to go for if you were richy rich.

    Y'know what? I think I'm gonna keep well outta MSX-land...just seems too damn pricey! Great get! though :)

    Yeah seems like a good idea. Didn't realise how fecking expensive the majority of the games are.

    You should get that Multicart that Olli, your MSX pusher picked up, that looks fantastic.

    Snagged a wii for 25 , now for some emulation in 240p !
    I used to have an OG xbox but that only did 480i craic.

    Unfortunately the emulators on Wii don't output in the correct resolution, at least when I used them. There's some terrible resolution issues like doubling some pixels vertically meaning you get weird shimmering with vertical movement.

    Megaman X Collection winging its way from the US, a bit of a bargain, €11 posted, and chockablock full of the games from the franchise, up to X7 anyways.

    Spoke too soon. Maze of Galious and Konami Table Tennis arrived today courtesy of a banjo player.

    Mortal Kombat II for the SNES. Oh the memories of slicing someone in half or burning them to a crisp! :pac:

    Never knew the babalities were in MK II, back then I though it was MK 3 only.

    That was filmed out where I work.
    In fact the fun fair was where I typically take my lunch break, in the car park at Tower Bay, Portrane.
    True Story....

    Sonic Wings arrived for the PS2, and it's a nice package indeed.
    This is a series from Japan of classic arcade titles and this is actually the most recent game they've released.
    But though it is a PS2 release this is packed with extras
    Aside from the game and the manual you also get a game guide (in Japanese, natch), a mini soundtrack CD and a Superplay video on mini DVD, as well as a mini marquee card.

    Rather unusual find for a Sunday morning. An Asian (Hong Kong I think) boxed Mega Drive.

    I picked up a copy of Game and Watch Collection vol 2 for the DS in CEX just now.
    A game only available via Club Nintendo, comprising of Octopus and Parachute.

    I'd be more hooked if the game didn't keep dumping me out of games with a communication error :(

    Beginning to think it might be me after all, or rather the way the broadband connection here operates.
    I'll contact my tech support for assistance, my brother who installed it!
