I think we had two in Sauron's house.
I think the first was in town in one of the regulars house. I beat mega man 2 at it and then got extremely frustrated with Toki and never managed to beat it as my tactic of credit feeding couldn't be applied to the final level.
Also remember walking back from that with Dinorex and I think o1s1n with a x-arcade stick wrapped in a bin bag. Looked like we were carrying a body. And a prostitute still propositioned us. Must have been a very slow night for her.

That was CCCP^'s house alright, jesus that's a long time ago now! Haven't seen him around these parts in years. I think he changed his name at one point. Probably quit the forum when he heard we were soliciting prostitutes outside his house. :pac:
Were you there for the one before that? I think that was the first, we went to the Bull and Castle and huddled around my Nomad playing multiplayer Micro Machines.
It kind of turned into a Saturday night/Dublin club type of thing half way through and we didn't really notice, had a few chung uns come over wonder wtf we were all staring at. (Coined the phrase 'Bitches love Nomads')

Was CCCP the one who always fell asleep? He looked like the Good Guy Greg meme.
If it was him, thought he changed his name or icon to something Transformers. Was living near me, we were meant to have coffee and just fell off the planet, was doing photography in LSAD.
Jack Burton ever think of a Bitches Love Nomads tee? Jkjk0 -

Looks like EU import Duty rules will be changing 1 January 2021 - import duty will be removed from goods under 150euro...but the 22euro exemption from VAT will be removed so everything will be liable for VAT. Ideally if a shipment comes the much loved/hated stores like Aliexpress they would pre-load this charge so as a EU buyer of cheap/nasty electronics you have no worries of incoming items

Shipments with a value of €150 or less don't have duty levied anyway, the only difference is the removal of the low consignment of goods threshold of €22.
This will make zero difference anyway as customs are not allowed to collect less than €6 from a shipment giving you a value including shipping of €26.08 before tax can be applied.0 -

Might be a long shot but would anyone know of any shops around Dublin/Wicklow that would sell a 3.5mm to single rca cable? Like the one in the Amazon link below. Or failing that would anyone here have one they aren't using or could sell? Any of the normal shops like Currys/Argos/Harvey Norman only seem to have the 3.5 to stereo rca.
I've already ordered the below but really wanted to test something out today/tomorrow if possible. Figured you fine folks would be my best bet.

So, some intrepid coder has remastered SFII Champion Edition for the Megadrive.
Or rather, they have improved the existing games visuals and gameplay to better twin with the arcade original.

I'm still bitter about buying that.
I mean how could they do that! They knew that all the poor kids like me were still rocking 8-bit home computers like the zx spectrum and C64 (or an amstrad if you were really unlucky). They knew that we would be so envious of our Megadrive and SNES owning mates versions of street fighter 2. And yet they released that game to rub salt in our wounds. Then rubbed salt in our eyes because it was a 12 pound boxed release.
