Got a nice little bundle at the car boot this morning.

A very sad, dirty looking PS1 with Power cable and RF - €3
Black PS1 dualshock controller - €1
Pokémon Red + Crystal (with the sticker torn off the cart, wtf?!) - €4
And most interesting of all: MGS, Porsche Challenge, Tomb Raider 3, Tiny Tank, Spec Ops Covert Assault and Area 51 for the PS1 - €3 for the lot.

Now you might say "Atavan! You thieving ninja! What's so interesting about those games?" Well, they're all NTSC, complete with Blockbuster Video price stickers Had to get them because of that Pics very shortly.

Edit: Pics!

PS1 + Controller
PS1 Games
Pokémon Games

(Apologies for them being bad quality, just took 'em with my phone)

Guessing there's no point in any of the rest of us heading down to Dundrum today so? :pac:

As above.
Not much point in going down is there? Was there ANYTHING else?

Acht, none of those really interest me anyway. I've two PSXs as is.

My carboot sale trawling friend just picked me up an N64 today with three games. He rang me at 10am while I was asleep, so I don't quite remember what the games were. I think one of them was Ocarina of Time. Going to have to guess what the other two were. I would imagine at least one copy of Goldeneye was in there.

/Edit - hah! he also got another 5 n64 games for a fiver. Some of them were boxed too

Tallon · 09-05-2010 04:15PM

Bought a few joypads in fairyhouse today, i'll give them a clean and post them later

One is the illusive PS1 anologe for €1

I still need an N64, dam you Ois

Well the main reason for buying it was for it to be redistributed here as I already have one. Supposedly it needs a bit of a clean. Will stick up some photos when I get my hands on it/test it out.

Nice find with the ps1 analog pad. I've never seen one of them in the wild. Enjoy the comfort! You'll see what I've been banging on about with regards to the length of the handles.

I already have one, I got it when I originally got my PS1 back in the day, was just nice to get a second one

Giz a shout if your letting that N64 go

A couple of bits, some gameboys (advance + Colour) and an N64 that was out of my price range. Also your usual pick & mix of PS1 sports games.

Wow nice! Please tell me it wasn't at the Dundrum one! :pac:

o1s1n · 09-05-2010 08:06PM

I'm not sure where it was. I seriously doubt it was the Dundrum one though. You'd have sensed an n64 about a mile away :P

He said there was a second n64 there too but didn't buy it. See what I mean about those consoles? They're feckin everywhere! They must just last a lot longer than ps1s as they're cartridge based. So less were thrown out due to breakage.

Retr0gamer · 09-05-2010 08:13PM

I'd really love to get an NTSC N64 and re buy my entire collection. the PAL N64 suffer really badly from PAL slowdown and borders. Also RGB mod for the win.

Brian CivilEng · 09-05-2010 11:42PM

Picked up a SNES with one controller, Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat 2 and Starwing on eBay. Already have Starwing so that can be traded. I also already have a SNES, so this one is for modding. Going to Google some SNES mods later on, any recommendations?

Warren3 · 10-05-2010 07:19PM

Got a few more dreamcast games at the weekend

Sonic Adventure 1 and 2
Ready to Rumble Boxing

batari · 11-05-2010 09:35PM

Couple more PAL 2600 games, all the way from Taiwan/Australia (but won on eBay in Ireland

)

c - 13 · 12-05-2010 06:27AM

Whee, finally have my spare bedroom ready to be converted into a collection area so I can finally start out. Already laid hands on -

Dreamcast
Neo Geo Pocket
Amiga 600
N64
Gamecube
Xbox 1
about 60 assorted games and an unknown amount for extra controllers and accessories for the above

Warren3 · 12-05-2010 08:41AM

Got Ninja Gaiden and Rainbow Island for the master system both CIB for £1 each.

weeder · 12-05-2010 07:03PM

an adverts barn find!

http://www.adverts.ie/showproduct.php?product=221895&cat=12

some of it is working grand and some of it is easily fixed!

Jack burton · 12-05-2010 08:09PM

Any of those megadrive got "high definition graphics" written on them?

weeder · 12-05-2010 08:51PM

fraid not

Jack burton · 12-05-2010 08:55PM

and how easy would it be to fix one of those dreamcasts?

weeder · 12-05-2010 08:57PM

i could make one working from the 2 but i need to get an av cable first, i think the snes is a goner though, garbled image and it looks(and smells) like someone attacked it with wd40 to try fixing it

Jack burton · 12-05-2010 08:58PM

Ah yuck! I saw those on adverts, not bad though considering a few working consoles came out of the bundle

weeder · 12-05-2010 09:02PM

yup. the nes is perfect but it needs a 72pin, no yellowing or anything

snes casing is perfect,no yellowing

2 of the megadrives are meant to work with loose AC and the other is black screening

and the dreamcasts are mint externally and i should get at least 1 working.

Jack burton · 12-05-2010 09:03PM

Well any spare cases you have let me know, I have a painting few projects I'd like give a try

weeder · 12-05-2010 10:07PM

one of these dreamcasts has had the oil ****ed at it too only this one strangely smells of petrol

Jack burton · 12-05-2010 10:09PM

Yeah I would actully like to see carlowed colection, they always seen to have a ton of stuff on adverts for sale

polyfusion · 12-05-2010 10:33PM

Nice haul weeder. I love "faulty" DCs - bought/aquired about 10 over the years, just one was really faulty (bad power supply); all the others had either dusty lid switches (possibly the non-reader) or dirty motherboard->power supply pins (possibly the black-screener).

Josey Wales · 14-05-2010 03:56PM

I got a few new items in the last week or so.

I played this a huge amount on the PS2 when I had it originally. Looking forward to playing it again. Hope I haven't been spoiled too much by Wipeout HD.

Two GameCube games that I've never played but am looking forward to trying them out on the Wii.

These are two of the three games I used to own for the 32X. I liked Star Wars Arcade but found it incredibly tough and never cleared the second stage I'd say. Doom was good but extended play would give me motion sickness.

Now I just need to get a 32X system.

Augmerson · 14-05-2010 08:44PM

I love WipEout Fusion, class game. Alot of WipEout fans were disappointed by the game as there was an increased emphasis on combat in Fusion but I think it makes for some really gritty gameplay. There are problems with graphical lag if you get too much stuff on screen however. I don't think that's really allowed on a console, understandable if you were on an under-powered PC but the PS2 should have been able to handle it and if not then the designers screwed up making it like that.

Retr0gamer · 15-05-2010 05:58PM

Doom 32X is absolute garbage. Probably the worst version of the game other than the 3DO version. No side or back sprites for enemies, the game has horrible borders and half the levels are missing.

All true. But back then I didn't know any different.

martineatworld · 15-05-2010 07:53PM

Just got an absolute MONSTER haul, took up a whole boot! I'll be living on noodles for a while it seems... Includes a decent Gamegear collection, MGS 3 Subsistence (no manual:(, but got it for a fiver!), a decent sized DC lot, and about 80 ps1 games! It's a bit of a mess at the moment, so I'll organise it and post pictures if my camera decides to work!
