    Ahh man thats beautiful, and an absolute steal. Fond memories of paying that in Tramore years ago :D

    Not sure if you saw the update on it down the bottom, but it's free now. Do it! :D

    I did... really tempted but i have zero places for it :( and i would not be allowed back into the house if i brought that back with nowhere for it

    Somebody needs to go and prevent the confusion in the city!

    I remember this in quirkeys, it wasn't the leap from 1 to 2, but cool all the same. I thought that beating "fool" was nigh on impossible without getting hit until I witnessed some psycho beat the game, I swear he had an epileptic fit with the trigger but he did it :p

    I've dropped prices of a few items, just incase there's anything of interest:

    Selling a NeoSD MVS on Adverts if anyone is interested. These would be pretty expensive to get now since their move to Andorra, what with the VAT and duty nonsense.

    Flashback on the Switch is less than a euro on the eShop at the moment.

    nice looking cabinet, not bad price considering some are going for 3x the price

    It's a good price but I don't think the Asteroids cab goes for big money, given it's comparatively poor starting place for a hack.
    I've got one and Asteroids Deluxe is a terrible omission, as is Gravitate.
    I did install a better spinner though, which was not a cheap upgrade, but essential to play Tempest properly.

    Edit: Actually, the device has Asteroids Deluxe and Gravitar installed but it takes hacking to activate them, a task I have yet to try out, needing soldering skills and familiarity with command lines to get them onto the menu to play.

    Might have a look some day

    Me too, but be warned that the monitor in those things does no favours for vector graphics, especially when compared to the sorts of things better emulators can do in terms of visual processing to make more realistic and, worse still, compared to the likes of the Vectrex.

    Still, it is nice, just a pity it doesn have Asteroids Deluxe from the get-go

    The scanline option is a nice little detail.

    Pricier than the Arcade1UPs though.

    It's a really interesting one, would have to be officially licensed?

    Seems like a strange move from SNK if so after they only just released a mini system themselves.
