    After searching for three years in car boot sales and the likes, I finally gave in and bought Tombi! on eBay:

    It did set be back €61, but I don't mind that. There is a story behind that game that I'm not going to type here :D I'll just say that it's going to bring back a lot of memories, like most retro games do.

    Congrats! Great game. For 61 I take it it's in good condition?

    The picture looked good anyway. :) PAL version, Original box and manual included, and the seller has a good reputation, so it should be alright.

    Only problem now is that black cloud over England which is stopping flights. (The seller was from England). I'll have to wait a few days for it to arrive. :D

    Just got Garfied: Caught in the Act and Toughman Constest, mind for the MD today :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 351 ✭✭Warren3


    Bought night trap on the mega cd. Got the same game on the 32x last week just so i can compare the 2.

    Picked up a version 1 MD on ebay. Supposedly it's powering up but displaying a snowy picture. I am hoping it's just the guy unable to tune it in on his TV with a crappy AV cable.

    One RGB scart connection may do the trick.

    Plus it's one of the early 'high def graphics' models with the best sound out. Fingers crossed I get get her working :)

    I saw that auction, but I figured it would be broken. I would like to have a version 1 MD console, those are the best.

    Is that a fact or opinion? I wouldn't know.

    Yep, best sound and video. As the consoles became cheaper, so did the parts used.

    The best of the best is the one I just bid on. It has 'high definition graphics' written over the cart slot. They're the very first MD consoles released and by far the best.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,162 ✭✭✭Augmerson


    It's my personal opinion and only for MD consoles. I really like the look of the Mk I, plus it has a headphones input. Mostly it's because I had one as a child and got great mileage out of it.

    The Mk II is a bit more sleek, think it weighs less too but feels a little flimsy to me. There is nothing really wrong with either version, it's just a matter of taste.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,315 ✭✭✭✭amacachi


    Yeah I had the 1st one back in the day, given up hope of finding it at this point alas.

    There's actually a huge difference between some units. Some are muck.

    I'm not going to get into it here for fear of derailing this thread, but for anyone interested, read this -

    +1, MD1 "High Definition" version is the best IMO

    Just picked up a CIB copy of Zombies Ate My Neighbours for the MD from Ebay Germany. Finally found a price I was happy paying. People are looking for silly money.

    How much did that set you back? Saw it in a bundle earlier, thought it seemed underpriced altogether.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,798 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    Great game, and a great one to add to the collection.

    Got a few new games myself today too :P

    7.50 for the game and 4.50 for postage from Germany. So €12 in total. Not too bad compared to some of the other prices I've seen.

    What games you get Jack?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,798 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    Ah i got about 21 MD games and 4 MCD games

    I take it you're mr 6 feedback

    :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    If it wasn't for me bidding 15 euro on those Sega CD games you'd have gotten them for 1c!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,798 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    yep :D well I was at a wedding last night, got back around 8 this morning and i was headin off again at about 1 to a BBQ so I couldnt snipe it and just put on fairly big max bid this morning.

    Put 55.50 on the MD games and 25.50 on the MCD games, didnt expect to win at all but came home and checked it. They went for a bit cheaper than that too

    I is a happy boy!

    No he wouldn't, I put in a €4 bid at the end. :pac:

    You got a pretty good deal on all that. I'd be happy too :)

    I decided not to go near the MD games in the end. Put a cap of 15 on the Mega CD games as the only one I really wanted was Night Trap.

    Anyway, enjoy! Take lots of pics!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,798 ✭✭✭Jack burton
