    I've lurked here quite a bit, but I've noticed if there's ever been any meetups. Anything on the cards lads? Going a bit crazy without having anyone to talk retro with here in the big smoke.

    Well, there'll be a Halloween night upcoming at the end of October, there'll be a Proper Crimbo night in mine in early/mid December and that should be our lot until next year, unless something else comes up.

    What's the craic with Boards the last few days? Broken links all over the shop for me. Hit and miss whether the Touch site works. Full desktop slightly better. 'Last Post' links not working sometimes though.

    Be careful what you wish for, in generally starts out like this.

    You end up here,

    Then you meet the regulars,

    After dark things get really scary.

    Most beers are similar, playing bad games and sweeties lol. Since its Halloween it's probably gonna be all horror games.
    Follow the "Arcade and Retro forum beers! (AKA the night of the scandalously drunk retro geeks)" topic, it's usually there it's posted about.

    Playing good games at a beers is a rarity akin to catching a Mew in the wild.

    Just that it's gonna make people think "seriously?? That's ridiculous paying that much money for a game, & not even a good game!"...but it has a very special place in my heart, & to own it will mean a lot to me. I'll update again when I have it in my hands & I verify for certain it's a legit copy (I'm very superstitious!) :o

    I was mighty relieved to read things are back to normal today! Seller messaged me today to tell me it had to be posted priority, as the insurance for standard registered didn't cover the value. This is good on one hand as I'll get it quicker, but I'm surefire to get stung for customs now, & it'll be a big feckin' charge :(

    Hmmm thought it might have been that Snatcher game but not sure if you already have that. Doesn't fit the bill with "not even a good game". So presumably it's cartridge based if you're concerned about it being legit - did the seller not confirm that for you seeing as you're obviously paying a fair whack for it?

    And it's defo a game? Not an LP by some obscure Caribbean-based 70s r&b artist ala Pyongyang's post that time! :D

    Any tips on picking up one of these fancy broadcast monitors for gaming? Not pushed on the brand, as long as it can do decent RGB. Where can I find one in Ireland?

    There's probably about 50 of them in Steve_SI's house.

    Just get a clean 21" Trinitron TV. Not as tweakable but picture quality is excellent on them and also have RF input if RetroGamer ever decides to call over :)
