Anyone with a PS3 NEEDS Demon's Souls and Valkyria Chronicles. Demons Souls is quite simply the game of this generation so far and Valkyria Chronicles seems to be made by the Sega of old that made good games.

Jack burton · 17-08-2010 9:29pm

Well I just beat MGS 4 and I have final fantasy XIII, but i think that on will be put to the side for a while, Want to get the god of war trilogy and play through them and then get deamon souls and Valktria Chronicles

Retr0gamer · 17-08-2010 9:51pm

Oh god MGS4, you experienced it as well. I feel sory for you. Might be worth picking up demon's souls quick in case it sells out. First european shipment is effectively sold out already and believe me it's better than God of War trilogy which can wait.

Jack burton · 17-08-2010 9:54pm

I actully really enjoyed MGS 4, I think I played it at the right time, Had a few days off work and just got into it. I know the cutscenes were intence and long but it was still a good game, not a patch on MGS 1 or Snake Eater

o1s1n · 17-08-2010 11:21pm

Enjoyed MGS4 you say?

Oh look, here comes Retr0 -

Jack burton · 17-08-2010 11:26pm

Oh no! Did I enjoy a game I wasnt supposed to?

I'll understand if i gt banned from this forum now

Retr0gamer · 17-08-2010 11:36pm

The will you marry me scene in that game just summed up how retarded the whole thing was

landsleaving · 17-08-2010 11:55pm

I still haven't made it past the bit where you meet that arms dealer, about 10 minutes of gameplay in, so about 2 hours in then.

See when it comes to any metal gear solid game, I dont pay attention to any character exept snake, but yeah that scene was retarded

Oh yeah here all the stuff I got in the past 2 weeks

I dont I even need to take pic of the manuals now, you all know what kind of condition all these are in

The only game not complete is Wolverine: Adamantum Rage

o1s1n · 18-08-2010 10:45am

Nice haul! I've wanted to get Wolverine: Adamantum Rage for a good while now. Always seems to sell for a lot.

Andrew76 · 18-08-2010 10:47am

Lovely haul there Jack!

Decap Attack is an interesting one. They took Magical Hat's Flying Turbo Adventure (possibly the best name for a game ever) and made it into another game for the Western market/Halloween.

Retr0gamer · 18-08-2010 12:06pm

I have a hatred of decap attack. Not because it's a mediocre game but because I swapped it for a week with a so called friend with Gunstar Heroes and the prick stole iton me

Very nice andrew! You always seem to get mint stuff

Not retro at all but picked up my PS3 today that I won a while ago. 120gb slim and came with: Split Second, Transformers, UFC 2010, Ratchet and Clank and Modnation Racers. Not the best games available but will be picking up some PS3 exclusives soon

(Add me on PSN if you want: Piikachu88)

if you dont have it on any other format already , the SEGA Mega Drive: Ultimate Collection' is good if you can pick it up cheap.(xtravsion were selling it for 15 a while back)

o1s1n · 20-08-2010 5:05pm

Finally got my hands on Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Skies. Okay so it's not retro, but it's about as retro as a modern game is going to get.

Absolutely nowhere has had it in town apart from one HMV where it was €50. Been checking everywhere on a regular basis for the last three weeks with no luck.

Went into HMV Grafton street today and there was one single second hand copy sitting there for €29.98 waiting for me. Not a mark on the disc or the box. I reckon someone bought it, was **** and brought it back.

As for the game...wow. Just wow. I think I have a new favourite game on the Wii.

Andrew76 · 21-08-2010 12:13pm

Latest bunch of MD games in the post, only waiting on one more to arrive then I think thats it for the time being regarding the MD, maybe except for getting the Nomad modded. Another project to keep me busy starting soon.

o1s1n · 21-08-2010 12:39pm

Nice!

You should bring that Earthworm Jim along to the next Videogames live and get it signed by Tommy Tallarico.

I'm going to do that if I can. Also get my Robocop Versus the Terminator signed too. :pac:

Just in case you didn't know, the rechargable batteries in those Nomad PowerBacks are all dead now. Even ones that have never been used. You'll need to solder some fresh ones in.

L1m1tless · 21-08-2010 12:39pm

Ah cosmic spacehead. Nice

I got this cleaning cart for my mega drive recently

Yeah I read that alright, never planned to use it tbh, only use an MD2 power supply with the Nomad. Would love to get the official carry case for it but not many of them pop up on ebay unfort.

Andrew76 · 21-08-2010 12:56pm

That looks interesting cowboy, how does it actually clean it? Pop it into the console cartridge slot or something?

Yeah It came with a bottle of cleaning solution you put some on the cart and put it in the slot and take it out and repet a few times

Yeah I'd love one of those carry cases! They look great. Been trying to get one for years but it's just impossible. I only ever saw the one on ebay and it was being sold with a boxed Nomad for a fortune.

Cool, I've been meaning to get one of those for almost 20 years now!

I have been checking the website every now and again.
They have a TBA Irish date on their list of tour dates but I dunno, if they do plan on an Irish date surely they would have had to announce it by now?

That said I hope they do do a date over here this year, last year was awesome.

Excellent, I want a photo of you and Tommy holding RVT.

Warren3 · 22-08-2010 11:00am

Just won a vagrant story for the ps1 in excellent condition

Retr0gamer · 22-08-2010 12:08pm

Vagrant Story is amazing. I'd buy it for the soundtrack alone.

Andrew76 · 24-08-2010 12:23pm

This is in perfect condition:

One of my favourite GB games:

This is kinda interesting, supposedly a promotional comic for the game?

Warren3 · 24-08-2010 2:21pm

Just got Breathe Of Fire III For Sony PSP!

Jack burton · 26-08-2010 12:27pm

I'm too lazt to take pictures today but much joyness arrived today

Strider 1 & 2 and Landstalker for the megadrive, all mint, all complete

Retr0gamer · 26-08-2010 1:58pm

Oh god strider 2 on the megadrive is a disgrace. Strider 2 on the PS1 though is a thing of beauty. Always wanted to play landstalker. I remember Sega Power having a running joke about the lead character being called Nigel.

Andrew76 · 26-08-2010 2:26pm

I can bring it along on Sat if you like.

Retr0gamer · 26-08-2010 2:29pm

Nah it's ok. I have it on emulator and it's kind of a single player isometric zelda type game which is going to bore anyone watching

Jack burton · 26-08-2010 4:34pm

Oh yes strider 2 is balls, but nice to have it in the collection + Twas only £6

Warren3 · 27-08-2010 10:58am

Star Ocean 1 and 2 for the PSP

Augmerson · 07-09-2010 12:33pm

Mega Bomberman for Mega Drive and Mario Kart Super Circuit for Gameboy Advance just came today : D

o1s1n · 07-09-2010 1:36pm

I love Mega Bomberman. I keep meaning to buy a multitap for it. Shame it didn't have one of those Codemasters J-carts!

Latest purchase myself was an Amiga A1200 with a 4gb compact flash card, 8mb fast RAM upgrade, disk drive and the usual bits and pieces to connect the whole thing up.

Annoyingly enough, I thought I'd gotten a good deal from a guy in Germany. No sooner than I'd sent him the money, there was an A1200 listed on adverts. from a guy in Dublin. Pretty much the same as my one, just a smaller harddrive. But it made up for it by coming with a CD Rom drive.

Just my luck!

Retr0gamer · 07-09-2010 1:45pm

Mega Bomberman brings back memories, used to play the crap out of it in 4 player. Pity it doesn't have support for 5 players like the TG16 version.

Got Ikaruga for the gamecube, Tales Of Eternia for the psp and Odin Sphere for the ps2!!!

feckhead · 11-09-2010 6:24pm

Got Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Toca Race Driver 3 from a customer, for free. Shame I dont have a PS2

justbrian · 13-09-2010 12:49pm

Project zero 2 NTSC for ps2 for 15 euro. A strange beast though. It's not American, nor Japanese. It's in Chinese, and actually very well voiced. Clearly an official copy, not some dubbed knock off. Slightly different (Chinese) ending theme as well.

Retr0gamer · 13-09-2010 1:37pm

That's a weird one alright.
