used to use a honeybee adapter for mercs on the MD, jap version:)

Pointless yolks. They are akin to cutting the tabs on the cart slot. They dont do any region bypassing at all. Just physical.

Well it was afriend of mine that had it with an ex rental game he bought.

They were only extremely rare and highly sought after. Nothing you'd be interested in :P

Or cutting chunks out of the actual cart which is done to one or two of my jap games :mad:

Regarding Starblade, it was not in 3d but was on a large curved screen via projection, filled your peripheral vision so appeared more.immersive.

In Balbriggan market just now, picked up a bunch of gba games for a fiver and also, at another stall I got a PS multitap, a PS2 multitap, a playstation mouse and a Malcolm negcon all for a fiver as well! So a good trip out.
They also have a complete original Xbox there as a firstgen PS, easy to run backups on one of those, I have 3 ps' already so to buy another would be greedy!

Anything good GBA wise?

CiDeRmAn · 29-05-2011 12:30PM

Not really, digimon racing, some scooby doo games, an xmen2 game, I'll have to have a look through the bag when i get home.
Very pleased with the multitaps and the mouse though. I can play Alien Resurrection properly now! And play 4 player Crash Team Racing on the tiny psone screen!

I picked up some GameBoy games yesterday in Gamesexchange on Talbot street. 3 for 2 offer so I got Final Fantasy Adventure, Contra and Pokemon Red.

Shop Keeper had them in a box behind they counter and if he hadn't said it to me I wouldn't have known he had any. He said he has a few boxes of SNES and N64 games loose behind there so just ask if you're ever in there.

I did have a look at the SNES games but they weren't great.

pdbhp · 29-05-2011 01:15PM

Damn you James Howlett:D, I was gonna buy a copy of Contra on GB last weekend but it was €13.99 so I declined.
Didn't realise they were doing Gb games in GameSEXchange I'll have to pop in and have a look when I get the chance

Retr0gamer · 29-05-2011 01:20PM

Nice, those 3 GB games are fantastic!

Well he was charging 15each which is well pricey but 3for2 made them 10euro so that wasn't too bad.
He also had a few Mario games, Tomb Raider, Pokemon Crystal & Gold, the rest escape my memory.

I'll post a picture later, as I have a mint condition pokemon red box which will now be complete with red cartridge.

Warren3 · 29-05-2011 05:36PM

Picked up a gamecube and 9 games and a ps1 and 24 games for £40

CiDeRmAn · 29-05-2011 05:42PM

Scooby Doo2 (movie game)
Cruisin Velocity
Star Wars: New Droid Army

This landed on my desk just now. I thought I was buying a used copy but turns out this one is still new and sealed!

How much? £3.07 inc free delivery.

pdbhp · 30-05-2011 01:29PM

Yahey, my copy of Gradius collection PSP arrived this morning:D
Now I gotta wait all day to get home and play it:(

Enjoy the pleasures of Gradius 2. Be surprised at how well Gradius has held up. Be a bit Meh about Gradius 4. Curse and swear at how stupidly hard Gradius 3 is and then play the better SNES version. Worship Gradius Gaiden which is a thing of shmup beauty.

Have fun!

At least you get to play it tonight!

My PS2 and my NTSC PSX are off for an appointment with 'The Doc'. Still, they'll be back home on Wednesday after their 'surgery'.

Optimus Prime · 30-05-2011 08:12PM

Just bought this on ebay:

It's the only one (except the GB light) from the range of Gameboys that I was missing. Box looks like it's seen much better days but it was only €12 and then postage on top of that.

TrustedApple · 30-05-2011 11:59PM

Was in the rage for the 1st time today and can i say for a very small shop its something else

I picked up Pokemon Snap, Ridge Racer 64 and a AV cable for the N64 for 25 euros

I have to go back soon but when its 160KM away from where i am from it hard to find time to get to this great shop

Retr0gamer · 31-05-2011 12:09AM

You need to get rid of that AV cable and get a modified s-video cable. The jump in video quality is something else.

My HD Plasma cant take s-video so AV will have to do but i have been waiting years to play Pokemon snap so any ideas what its like ?

Retr0gamer · 31-05-2011 01:12AM

I love Pokemon Snap. It's a weird take on the rail shooter genre but a great one. Wish there was more games than one game.

Pyongyang · 31-05-2011 11:26AM

Ah a green GBP was the first thing I ever bought in the RAGE...memories! :P Just be careful, collecting the different colours is easy to become obsessed about.

CiDeRmAn · 31-05-2011 03:12PM

Did I mention I have a GB Light?
It's really nice, keeps me warm at night just thinking of it, sitting there, just loving me unconditionally by being in my collection....
