Retro related.

Just took delivery of a Ryo Hazuki's jacket that I had custom commissioned by some crowd in China (I assume) made to my measurements.

The fit is a bit tight and it doesn't sit very well on me with the jacket opened but it's still pretty awesome.

Cost me €100 and it's made out of faux leather.

I won't be wearing it too much and might use it as part of a Cosplay for this year's Dublin Comic Con.

Pretty impressed with it though.

It's much better than one I took delivery of last month:

Material on this one was some kind of faux suede, the colours were all wrong and it didn't fit very well. I didn't spend as much on this one though and came to regret it.

Thankfully I was able to forward it on to a fellow local Shenmue nutcase.

Y'know... one of the reasons for getting this jacket is for a YouTube comedy skit that I have planned. ;-)

The latest Gollop, the basic, in more ways than one, start to the wonderful Rebelstar series. Released in 1983 for the ZX Spectrum.

Here's the latest arrivals this week. I have one more package on the way but this should be the last of them for a while. Need to put some extra money into savings first.

Shaq Fu isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I know it can be gotten cheaper but it was a bit of an impulse/novelty buy. All games are complete. Unfortunately Virtua Tennis and Tony Hawk's are quite battered, the cases were listed as being 5-6/10, but I reckon they got worse in transit as they were shipped fairly loose in a reused envelope.

I got this today. I actually had the sega saturn version of this back in the day. See how it measures up.

Prepare to be very pleased indeed.
Certainly the PS more easily applied transparency effects and well supported software libraries results in most of these games looking much better on the PS than the poor old Saturn.
The Sat could do some great things, but needed talented hands to bring them forth, Quake for example.

I had the PC version of that which I got with a gfx card. Looked stunning but the lack of the licensed tracks was a real annoyance.

Could you not have swapped out the audio files for the right ones?
Kept the file names, but swap Cold Storage for Leftfield, something like that?

They played off the CD and the game wouldn't let you swap music mid game. This was also 1998 when it was much more difficult to pirate music!

Just received my Neo-Geo UniBIOS v4.0 chip from Razoola. The new PICKnMIX feature is great awesome! with the 161-in-one cart.

@MrVestek you're probably happy with what you have now but an alternative would be to find yourself a brown leather jacket you like and are happy with (I don't know if there's still a plethora of leather jacket shops on Liffey St... Unique / Hairy Legs etc) and take it along with the badges you want made to Diffney on Mary St. Upstairs they have a stitching / branding service that specialises in branding workwear and sportswear. Would be able to do you whatever you want I'm sure.

Another way would be to pick up a jacket in a 2nd hand shop/charity shop/Eager Beaver etc and just do some painting.
Nothing there that couldn't easily be painted on, and it might look pretty good.
Not a fan of the franchise though, so waaaay too much effort for me!
Maybe Ollie can have a crack at it!

MrVestek

I mean... I wanted a jacket that looks exactly like the one in the game down to the very last detail and this one definitely does.

Besides the patches and tiger logo on the back are practically impossible to get by themselves.

So yeah the new jacket cost me just over €100 but I'm happy with it.

DaveyDave

My last arrivals for a while (I *might* get a Bandridge switch, Saturn/Dreamcast RGB cables and Saturn Action Replay but that's it!)

House of the Dead probably isn't worth anything with a spine card but it's nice to have. I'd like a Pal copy but can't justify paying €80, especially considering HotD2 is much better. HotD2 was practically free due to a £5 voucher.
I love the aesthetic of Japanese

Few new NES games. Really looking forward to playing Bucky, never played it before, I've heard it's very good.

I was up in Limit Break games in Drogheda today.
Nice place, a good selection of modern and retro stuff at reasonable prices, nothing for me today though, aside from a new power supply for my N64.

Mr.Saturn

Be interested to know your thoughts on House of the Dead on the Saturn. Is it as disappointing as some reviewers have suggested?

The only home version I've played is the PC port, which is actually just a rapid-fire point and click exercise.

I really like the whole series.
I have the Saturn game and it's not bad at all.
Not sure where this disappointment comes from.

DaveyDave

I had both the Saturn and PC version of it 10 years ago, I don't remember any issues with them but as I said I prefer the sequal so didn't put much time into them. Stupidly sold off my Sega collection shortly after!

Once I get an Action Replay I'll give it a run through

That's going to be a fantastic little gizmo for when Retroarch/MAME lands properly on the Switch, for vertical shmups

Jeremy Parish is involved as well as fangamer so you know it's not some bull**** artists running the project.

Ya he mentioned it on a podcast awhile ago, is a low priced item anyway so even if it did go titsup all its not the end of the world...

Unlike Vega+

Curious about that Master System book, €36 isn't terrible if it's a proper coffee table book. Must have another look at it.

I wonder when we'll reach peak 'gaming coffee table book'? My own coffee table is verging on collapse at this stage!

Just on the bitmap ones alone !! Also the Artcade one is cool too.

There's a few vertical grips for the Switch on Thingiverse. Might 3D print one and see how useful they are.
Printed in ABS or more likely PETG and it'd be plenty strong.
