I saw this idea on another forum and thought to give it a go here. Title says it all. - Any time you buy some new arcade or retro goodies post about it here so we can all admire/drool in jealousy.... (And plan to raid your house :pac:)

Pictures optional...but better!

It's a treasure shooter for less than 20 euros. What's not to like!

It's one of the oldest Gamecubes in Ireland, I got it the day it came out in Japan all those years ago, and it served me very well. I used to have a rake of games, if I find any more I'll post them up to you. Btw aren't the JAP GC game boxes so tidy?

Haha, awesome! Could even be the oldest!

That would be super if you do!

Absolutely, I'll have to buy more as they'd look great in a row

Got that PS1 today too. 4 of them now, 3 fat 1 slim =/ Although it did come with memory card which is nice as I only have 1 of those.

ghostchant

Have one of the EDGE 'retro' magazines (the yellow one in the pic), remember it being really good.

Right I'm after getting a Dreamcast

Console looks to be in good condition form pics but i can tell yet as I wont have it till during the week.

Got Chu Chu Rocket and Jimmy Whites Snooker with it and a controller.

So VMU first stop, then Samba de Amigo?

But i have a question, Should I go for a PAL collection or go for JAP and USA? I'm not too sure yet, any suggestions?

o1s1n

Go for a CD-R collection

>_>

<_<

I'd love to be able to collect Dreamcast games..I just can't when all you need to do to play one on a console is download it and burn it to a disc without any sort of modification at all.

Jack burton

Yeah I completly forgot about that, But i have my heart set on a box of Samba de Amigo So i need to get me one of those!

o1s1n

Well the Dreamcast musts are (If you're into shooters) -

VGA box (Get one from a canadian ebay seller for 25 delivered)

Dreamcast arcade stick

22 inch LCD monitor

Dreamcast vertical shooter collection (Internets & CD-Rs)

Rotate monitor sideways.

You now have the greatest thing on earth.

Jack burton

That sounds nice but the greatist thing on earth arrived in the post the other day for me

Warren3

Got Rocketman 4 for the saturn today.............

justbrian

Got ghostbusters for the megadrive boxed and in good condition. In a shop in talbot street. (The one beside tesco.)

Usually this shop is overpriced, this time I got the better deal.

I find myself quite upset after reading this. Twas only a mere few months ago that I brought my previously stolen DC collection back from the dead, at massive expense thanks to Shenmue 1&2 and SKies of Arcadia.

I'm off to the nearest bridge.

Actually screw that, I'm off to burn Ikaruga!

o1s1n

I feel sorry for Sega. Eejits should have made it more difficult. They shouldn't have just relied on the GD ROM format. As a result it's harder to play pirate games on the Saturn than the Dreamcast. Makes no sense.

Enjoy Ikaruga anyway. The download is less than 20mb!

ghostchant

Though people should avoid burning the DC indie games that have been released in recent times, such as Last Hope and Dux. Hoping they all do well enough to prompt more.

Found a NES today in charity shop (compact version, has a "Mattel" branded sticker on it aswell as Nintendo) It's like a shrunken version of the normal NES. There was a better sound chip in this version from what i can remember.

Works fine, captain planet, mario 3 & some other crappy game:p

Cost a tenner and a smile

Cool, apart from the size are there any other cosmetic differences?

Unlike the normal Nes, the cartridge insert does not have an opening cover on the front. The cartridge just plugs straight into an opening on the front so you can still see it while playing games. I'd day it's about 30% smaller then the normal Nes and it looks almost exactly the same, same game pads etc. I'm sure some people would know it, probably would have been an end of production model. I will probably keep this one locked up and unused as it is pretty unique.

I only ever saw one of these "compact" Nes's before way back around 1993' when in a friends house. I always thought it was unusual. The sound is differant though from the normal Nes. It is higher pitched. Alot of long surpressed memories came to the surface when I found this yoke. Never thought I would see this version of it again 17 years later. Awesome stuff!

I think I just got me one of them rare PS1 analog controllers

Ooooh. I think I have magazine envy after seeing that load of Edge issues..! I've managed to keep my urges in check to the point that I've only really ever filled in the missing issues from the first issue I bought in a shop (Christmas 2004, for all who care) to now and have been content with that, but those Retro/Equip specials always, always pique my interest.. again, oooh.
