More miscellaneous pickups.

The Last Bandit

Picked up a bigbox Amiga eventually, its a basic enough 2000 at the moment but have a few extras on the way for it

Surprisingly usable as it is though, spent a few hours with Delux Paint 3 (badly) drawing dinosaurs trying to keep small ones entertained !!

Haven't bought any retro games in a long time. Got these off of a lad on Facebook.
Anyone notice the font for Everybody's Golf 2 is the exact same font as the original GTA?

Got this converter for the AV Famicom, to play NTSC NES games on it.

A little disappointed because unfortunately, the only game I have so far is Strider and the contacts on the PCB do not stay the full width most of the way towards the edge, unlike all the PAL games I've checked so far.
Saw a post on reddit pointing out the narrow ends of the contacts:

https://i.imgur.com/0ObvF8W.jpg

The converter has these 'shelves' in the sides of the top, which block being able to fully seat a NES game. It's not a problem for games with the full width contacts (Tried a bunch of PAL games) but seems to block the Strider board from fully connecting.

If I use just the converter board, then the game plays.

If somebody has some NTSC NES games and wouldn't mind, could you check a few of them and see if they have the narrowing contacts? Particularly Mega Man 6 if you have it.

True, loved that game and keep forgetting about it.

I don't know why it doesn't get more love, it was a solid brawler, looked good for the time and was based off a cult classic movie. Whats not to love.

The Warriors looked pretty good too, the face mapping looked pretty close to the movie for the era.

Retr0gamer

I think Bully looked good. Renderware could look stunning but think as open worlds got bigger the uglier they had to be to run well.

I certainly enjoyed GTA3/VC and Read Dead Revolver but there certainly was a "look" to them.
That was also the middlewear behind the early, and magnificent, Burnout games.

Retr0gamer

The PS2 version of Max Payne was always bad and looked ugly.

As for Manhunt, it was never a good game and outside of Bully all those renderware games from Rockstar looked awful. It gets a lot of love now but I think it got a free pass at the time being a Rockstar game and being controversial because I played it at the time and thought it was garbage as did a lot of publications. The exclusive review was taken from a UK magazine because they were prepared to give it 3/10.

Max Payne is one UGLY game!
I remember seeing the original PC version, at the time of it's launch, and it looked amazing!
But, a couple of years later and on the PS2... rough as a badgers @rse!

Still pretty fun to play though. Manhunt on the other hand looks woeful and game play wise is not fun to play. I downloaded it on PS4 having missed it on PS2 era and couldn't get past the first hour. Camera is very poor.

Continuing with the theme of cheap pickups, a few more for the "I'm not collecting for the PS2/PSP" collection.

GTA3 is presumably lost in the post somewhere and unfortunately LCS was a Platinum version, I try to go with original versions.

Thanks to Cosmic Smash I'm the proud owner of a well jailbroken Nintendo 3DS LL, and a decent collection of Japanese 3DS games to go along with it!
Now I'm only missing a New 3DS XL, my Ninty collection will be complete, well, mostly...

I keep meaning to keep a look out for the 3ds with the changeable covers or the SNES ones, I've a copy of Corpse Party that's ntsc so can't play it
I also know if I got it tomorrow it would still be in the backlog for an age so...

And online play is freeeeeeeeeee! Remember that?!

I do, but I would still get PS Plus anyway, so I didn't feel the jarring effect of it costing money to play online.

I was more of an Xbox 360 lad during that generation, so I'd be used to spending money on a sub lol

Grabbed this in a Cash Convenience in Kilkenny.

Kind of annoyed over the gloss finish being practically wiped off, but I can't complain too much when I paid €50 for it, and the gamepad and cables. And, of course, the most important part - it works.

Been using my brother's PS3 for a few years now, 'bout time I repurchased one for myself.

Nothing tested yet, need a few bits and bob's. Sonic championship and virtual on going by eprom labels, but that's no guarantee

Any interesting PCBs in this lot or have you had a chance to test them yet?

No pictures, but I picked up a bunch of boards recently including a bunch of Sega model 2 games. Not sure what they are yet, waiting on bits and pieces to setup a rig for them.

Hoping for virtual on amongst them, always loved that game. Mega popular in Japan. No idea how I'd play it without twin sticks, but one step at a time

Actually do have a picture after all

Shapey Fiend

I love MD Eswat. Think I read a while back a lot of the Revenge of Shinobi staff were on it. Level design makes it feel like more of a sequel than MD Shadow Dancer or Shinobi III to me.

DaveyDave

Bit of a spending spree now that I'm finished saving for a mortgage. NHL and Chinatown Wars are new to me, Jet Set and ESWAT never saw than a demo/rental. The rest are just some favourites.

I don't have plans to collect on PS2, just threw in NFSU and The Suffering for the hell of it. I'll probably stick to Silent Hill and Rockstar stuff for now.

Kidchameleon

It would be a tad wasteful IMHO to have the 6 button pad included with just two games out of 42 utilizing it. The Megadrive was all about the 3 button pad. I think it was a brave and correct decision on Sega's part.
