    Thought I'd take a few piccys.

    Few new games that came in the post -

    Perfect combination! This stick is actually pretty nice to use. I thought it was going to be crap.

    I was originally planning on taking a picture of my four ps1 analog pads..but one of them is missing for some reason..I'm fairly sure I bought four..?!

    While looking for the fourth one, I unearthed the rest of my ps1/ps2 controller collection. Seriously, why the hell have I so many of these controllers? It makes no sense. I'm fairly sure I have more of these in a big bag of controllers back in my parents house too.

    What's with all the controller's O1s1n?

    Well I was buying up those original ps1 analog pads (The pre dual shock rare ones)because they go for cheap when people don't know what they are, but sell for a bit when people know what they are. If you get me.

    I dunno, you know how I am with rare cheap things. Like a magpie :pac:

    As for the rest...I think what happens is whenever I salvage a console from somewhere it comes with one or two controllers. I have almost 10 ps1s about, so if each has one controller it starts to add up.

    One thing I'd really like to do is seriously cut down on controllers. Have way too many. They take up room that could be filled by games!

    Edit - Going to try and remember them all.

    Atari 2600 - 5 controllers
    Nes - 2 pads
    Snes - 3 pads
    N64 - 3 pads
    Gamecube - 1 pad
    Megadrive - 2 six button, 4 three button, 2 light guns, one arcade stick
    Neo Geo - Two arcade sticks
    Saturn - 2 six button pads and a 3d pad
    Dreamcast - 3 controllers, 2 light guns
    Playstation - 12 controllers, 4 light guns
    wii - 4 wii motes, two guitar hero guitars, a mic, drums, wii fit board
    360 - 2 controllers
    PC - 1 USB pad

    That's 60 that I know of from memory..I would imagine there are more.

    Jesus christ.

    you bastard, this is revenge on me for winning the ebay stuff isnt it!!! :P

    since its you I can only assume you got a great deal on it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,390 ✭✭✭✭o1s1n

    56 euro for the game CIB, 10 for postage from the US. Weird, being a hard to find PAL game, the last place I thought the copy I'd end up buying would be is the US. Was convinced I'd get one from Australia.

    Anyway, 66 in total. Expensive for a Megadrive game (Most I've spent on one), but a good deal for a complete copy of Alien Soldier.


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


    yeah very good deal, my hitlist rigt now is for that, megaman, probotector and shinobi III

    Try to get your hands on Mega Turrican too. It's a fantastic game and you won't get it cheap, will probably cost the same amount as Probotector.

    I was just playing it for a bit earlier. Really is lot of fun. Nice difficulty level too. Visuals look the business.

    /Edit wow! buy this, buy it now!!!! Before it's gone. You can thank me later.

    Further edit -

    Today is a good day for cheap rare Megadrive games. I was going to suggest you get this too. Demolition Man. Only one copy on ebay.co.uk at the moment, shows you how hard it is to come across. Super Cheap perfect copy -

    I'd buy both above games at those prices in a heartbeat if I didn't already have them!


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


    Will I buy it right now? seriously?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen

    If you have the money buy it, buy it now :pac:

    I thought I got a good deal buying mine from Australia. Cost me 30 I think it was. And the booklet is a bit damaged. Nowhere near as nice as that.

    And if you also have the extra cash, buy that Demolition Man too!

    Well I'm at about €200 on games in total in the last 2 weeks, and just after buying some more.

    But sure **** it, better than spending it on drink and "bad things" like i used to, and plus I get paid for graphic design stuff via paypal and I cant take it out of there so I HAVE to spent it on games


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,565 ✭✭✭✭Tallon

    Nice. I was playing that and Probotector earlier on an emulator. I didn't think they'd be so difficult, particularly Probotector. It nearly reduced me to tears. :p

    I saw a copy of Alien Soldier on ebay the other day from a German seller. It went for 50 in total including postage. The only problem was they didn't accept paypal. Germans and their bank transfers. :mad:

    I won a couple of MD games that I wanted on ebay earlier, The Lost World and Mickey Mania. It came to about 3 pounds for both. I log on to see the postage costs and the seller, in England, is trying to charge me 10 pounds on postage. There's no way I'm paying 10 for something that costs like 3.50. Bloody chancer.

    Probotector/Contra Hard Corps is one of the best shooters for the system. It's hard but rewarding ;) Good feeling when you finish a level.

    Hah! Weird one, I was set to bid on that. When it came down to 5 minutes, I decided to check the auction one last time to make sure everything was legit. It was only then that I noticed that they didn't accept paypal. It was only on about 30 euro, but I didn't bid as those IBAN bank transfers are a pain. Decided to delete it from my ebay list as it would have killed me if it ended dirt cheap. Glad to hear it cost that in the end :)

    To send one game from the UK costs about 3.50. Two games should be 7 or so..ten does seem like a bit much.

    My sister dropped the 'broken' Megadrive V 1 out to me today that I bought on ebay for pratically nothing.

    It boots up and works perfectly. I reckon the guy who was testing it was doing so on an LCD and it wasn't working properly.

    DSC_0004.jpg

    Best thing about it though, it's one of the first release PAL models. So it has the best sound/picture quality and (This was a suprise), it's a non-TmSS model! So when you boot it up it goes straight into the game and you don't have to sit through that 'Produced by or under license from Sega Enterprises Ltd.' screen that all the other models have.

    I'm a very happy bunny. Only down side at the moment though is I only have an RF cable for it. I haven't used RF in a very long time and actually got a bit of a shock. It made my eyes bleed.


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


    those non-TmSS models are fairly hard to come by, I have a MD1 on the way soon, be nice if it was the same kind :P
