Got these of KeithGeo. Had one as a kid & playing it today instantly brought me back 20 years :cool: The blue one needs looking at for a display issue, but they're cool little things.

Got a couple of retro bits delivered today. Another Gamecube to add to the collection, this time with the 4gamers screen.
And a Dreamcast

Lol only noticed the 2 euro coin after a second look. Deadly.

You can still get them in vending machines in Japan. A friend got one for me and posted it over. She's going to get me the rest of the collection as well. They cost about 200 yen each, or about €1.75.

My gods!
That man has a giant 2 euro coin!!!!!
Save yourselves!
Classic consoles and children first!
Actually, leave the kids, take more consoles!!!

Paid 50 euro for the screen as it was new and still in shrink wrapped box.

Steve X2 · 03-03-2011 12:14PM

The postman was good to me again today.

New Dreamcast mouse and a new 3DO controller(The smaller FZ-JP1X version that was popular in Japan). The boxes are a little grubby but the mouse and controller are new and never opened, until I got my hands on them that is.
Both of these are going into storage as I already have a couple of them that are in use so no need to grubby up these ones.

Also got a Game Gear and a few games, Game Gear has the usual electrolytic capacitor problem I think so is unusable in its current state. And I'm rubbish with a soldering iron

In town a couple hours ago and my brother rings me and asks me to pick up a game for him. Ask him what game and he says 'Tactics Ogre for PSP'. Says he saw it the other day in GAME on dawson st. I think he's gone mad but oblidge him, and sure enough there it is!

So to summarise: picked up tactics ogre premium edition for my extremely lucky brother!

Retr0gamer · 03-03-2011 09:48PM

One of the guys on the JRPG forum went to every shop in town and couldn't find it!

ghostchant · 03-03-2011 10:12PM

Yeah couldn't believe it, didn't even bother looking when it came out to be honest, figured I'd just get it on PSN. Last game I scoured town for was inazuma eleven, to no avail. Ended up getting it online only for it to be French-language only...needed to brush up on it anyway!

Retr0gamer · 03-03-2011 10:35PM

Did Inazuma Eleven get a release here!!!! ****!

ghostchant · 03-03-2011 11:49PM

Was meant to be, but none of the shops stocked it. Turned out that the English language release was delayed, though some made it out as a few people got their hands on it online. I'll make do with my French language version for now anyway!

Retr0gamer · 03-03-2011 11:51PM

Ah so it's coming later?

ghostchant · 04-03-2011 12:56AM

To be honest I haven't checked in the last few weeks, since the mainland Europe release. I would imagine so but no idea what's causing the delay.

James Howlett · 04-03-2011 01:58AM

My most recent new finds below, sorry about the picture quality:

Picked up Zelda & Parasite Eve 2 from Adverts.
Unfortunately Zelda is without a map and Parasite Eve without its Instruction Manual but they'll be fine to play either way.
Okami came from a Market over the weekend.

My Zelda Collection now stands at:

Now to go on a hunt for those Zelda gameboy games...

CiDeRmAn · 04-03-2011 09:01AM

Thats a lovely collection, you should keep an eye out for the Zelda Bonus Disk with OoT and MM, its fantastic, but then, you probably know that!

I loved The Minish Cap, did not get to the Oracles series though..

o1s1n · 04-03-2011 09:17AM

Lovely!

Although I can't believe I missed Zelda: LTTP box on adverts. I have everything else from it, including the map and the little hints and tip booklet that came with it.

James Howlett · 04-03-2011 12:23PM

I think I heard rumour somewhere on the net, might have been here, that Nintendo might do an Anniversary Collection for Zelda similar to the recent Mario Bros Collection that came out before Christmas. That'd be super sweet.

If I find a second box I'll keep you in mind o1s1n.

Cheers! I've been trying to find a box on it's own for ages. I'ts pretty much impossible.

Almost bought one from the US a few months back, but then decided against it as the PAL box is much nicer than the US one and I want it 100% PAL authentic.

The Oracle games are very underrated. Fantastic games but be prepared for a stiff challenge.

CiDeRmAn · 04-03-2011 03:50PM

Must watch out for them in Rage and the markets, not going to use ebay for a while, made a decision just now to avoid that den of lovely things....

Retr0gamer · 04-03-2011 03:57PM

You don't see them that much. ebay would be your best bet really.

o1s1n · 05-03-2011 11:26PM

I'm trying not to buy things lately, so was going to put this up in the auction thread as I already have a cart of the US release...and I remember Jack saying he wanted a copy.

However after thinking about it for about 10 minutes (!)..and then thinking how I only had a cart (with a torn label)..I just couldn't resist and bought it myself.

A Japanese copy of MUSHA for €44.90!

The top of the label is lifting a bit at the back, but for €44.90 I can't complain, the booklet and box look absolutely mint. I'll try to fix the label once it arrives.

Jack burton · 05-03-2011 11:36PM

pretty nice, trying to save for the 3ds right now but when i get some money in my paypal, musha, pulseman and the wily wars are on the top of the hit list

DickyC · 06-03-2011 12:36AM

"I'm trying not to buy things lately"-

so much for you staying off ebay then

I've given up on the 3DS dream for a while. Just seems like too much to be spending on a handheld. I'd be extremely paranoid of losing it.

Hah! It's a sickness! I did the whole 'I'm not buying, but I'll go for a browse' thing...we all know that's when you find the best bargains!

Myrddin · 06-03-2011 10:29AM

What does Aleste mean in Japanese? I presume the above has nothing to do with Super Aleste on the SNES, as in the same kinda game universe or something?

James Howlett · 06-03-2011 02:53PM

Not much out in Balbriggan Market this morning.
A few PS2 games scattered around (predominantly sports titles).
I did see a Crystal XBOX with no games for €40 (a bargain if ever I saw one) and someone had a SNES console but just that, no wires/ controllers.

I came home with Ridge Racer Revolution & Smackdown 2, both PS1, for €1. Better luck next week maybe.
