Some crazy stuff in there, lots of prototypes.

And magician Lord is a great game, always associate that, metal slug and nam 1975 with the neo geo, probably from ads back in the day

got a new cart for the Jambo Safari cart. Couple of wires to swap/connect on the controls to enable the drive/reverse gear and it's all good to go. Now I just need to source artwork

That's shoutime. He is responsible for a ton of rare games being sourced, dumped and added to mame over the years.

Not a great time of a "raid", but picked up a few pcbs. Haven't gotten a chance to test anything yet. One bizarro game called "sanrin sanchan" from Sega, board looks a bit messy though. The 1943 is the official revision b going from roms, so that's good, and the xmen is sparkling clean. Not bad, but not a steal either!

beejee

I thought that Sega board was all messes up and hacked. Well, maybe it's not terrible after all...

some hope for it yet

They all Irish finds again?

That's a weird looking Sega game, you have to wonder how titles like that end up here.

Yep, all from here.

Slowly but surely I'm building up a picture of everything in ireland and how it got here, some weird stuff! More in the pipeline on the way, as excruciatingly slow as it seems sometimes

We'll see how it goes! I can compensate with more raids

This was one of the things waiting for me when I got home today, along with a nice bloody bill from customs (turned a great deal into an "okay" deal). This is an "asia region" grey cps2, an original on battery, but all in English.

Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara. One of the best arcade beat-em-ups, even a few rpg elements thrown in. This stands out to me due to the sheer length of the game, very unusual for the arcade. There was a prequel, Tower of Doom, which is just a mini step down from Mystara (would really like to get that too

Multi-branching pathways, lots to find and discover, and multiplayer too (still only have the two player cabinet though). Cool stuff! An there was a conversion for the Saturn (only in japan) of both dungeons and dragons games...but I never got it due to the language problems. Looks like an excellent conversion though. This is my Friday evening ahead of me!

Tested the 1943 game, all good! Gunsmoke working too, tough as nails game. Xmen is DOA, a large capacitor had been ripped out (would that cause it not to boot at all??), but its a spanking clean board otherwise, theres hope yet. Realised I need a separate adapter for 1942, and the sega system 1 adapter to test sanrin sanchan...cant find it!

Great pics, ollie has some fingerboards I think.
Saw some guy selling a load of adapters on AO also or was it UKVAC

The dreamcast has a boatload of great shoot em ups. Always liked zero gunner 2

One of the great things about the Switch is the sheer amount of shmups on the system, including Zero Gunner 2.
It's really shaping into a fine console for shmup lovers

Good game, with better (far more expensive) sequels.

I received the excellent Arkanoid from Banjoguy Ollie this morning, complete with the "Vaus Controller", the excellently names paddle controller for the NES that Taito produced.
Playing it the paddle wouldn't make it's on-screen namesake go all the way to the right, shock horror!
Luckily, this is normal drift and the controller has an adjustment screw under a little cover, a quick quarter-turn to the right and it's all working as it should.
The box is pretty cool too, all very 1987, it's year of release.
So, thanks Ollie, a nice addition to the range of interesting games I'm also terrible at!

Man, I used to play arkanoid a lot on the commodore. Very good game.

So I looked up arkanoid commodore on YouTube and found this, very cool

waiting for another chance to get smashed by the game listening to this

Arkanoid was a great game and the sequel revenge of doh, I used to also love it on the c64 ,Beejee you brought back some memories I used to have the above pack all great games and good conversions for the commodore loved them .

CiDeRmAn

I think I have the Famicom version of Arkanoid as well, and there's a sequel out there as well.
Must look for that one.

Great compilation, Arkanoid on the Spectrum was great, but Batty was better (free cover tape on Your Sinclair magazine).

I've just bought my 3rd copy of Laser Squad by blade software for the Spectrum. They're all the same, I have a problem, if I see it, I have to buy it. There is another release by a different publisher, which I only have one copy of, for whatever reason, the draw to that version isn't the same.

Taito on a roll it seems, with successful releases of Darius and The Ninja Saviours, now with Bubble Bobble 4 Friends.
It arrived yesterday and seems to be pretty good fun.
The classic game is still simply perfection, the new game not so much.
I mean, it's still fun but it lacks the visuals that made the original the business and they left out a lot of the secret little mechanics that made it fun.
And you only realise these are missing when you try them out, such as blowing and popping bubbles against the level walls, used to accrue you points but not anymore.
Nor do you gain all sorts of bonuses for bubbles for having the second and third digits from the right the same, the bonus fruit just appear, regardless of score and bubbles in the level.
No real payoffs for gaining "EXTEND" either...

But, at least having classic Bubble Bobble is nice.... maybe they'll patch it better...

Decided I'm going to get an AV famicom. Received this game the other day for it. Some of the famicom games can be had for a pittance!

An AV modded Famicom is also a great thing to have, plus it has that classic design.
But you are right about the games, you can find job lots on auction sites with equal classics and junk.

Finally managed to nab something I've been after for an age.

There was an East German company called Volk und Wissen that made educational charts for schools back in ye old Communist occupied Germany. Some of them look fantastic and are basically pieces of art in themselves.

I've a lovely one of an atomic core over my cabs.

The atomic core one was actually something I stumbled across while looking for their CRT diagram. After a long time waiting, the CRT one finally showed up on Ebay Germany and I nabbed it for 20 quid.

Needs a bit of a clean up but should look pretty cool over the CRT corner!

Famicom arrived. One of the game sellers sent an origami shuriken, :pac:
