    odd thing about clone nes consoles,they dont have a sh'tty cart connector like the real thing.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 53,279 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    A clone NES might be a good idea but just feels funny not playing it on the actual hardware. Since the NES is just off the shelf parts it would be pretty much perfect as well.

    Picked up a complete Dynamite Heddy, a boxed but no manual Comix Zone and a cart only Super Fantasy Zone (yay!) in the rage.

    Nothing super rare, but all games I've considered picking up recently.

    Some other decent games there but held off as few of them were complete. After Burner 2 and outrun were tempting.

    Picked up strider for Megadrive, now all i need is a Megadrive!

    Loved Strider so much in the arcade, right up there with Rygar, Wonderboy and Nemisis!

    Anyone selling a megadrive?

    Wow!
    Your little feet must not have touched the ground as you flew into town to look through the new stash there!

    And re: Nes, you're all talk Retr0, we've been banging on at you for ages about a Nes/Famicom and so far zip!

    Vectrex and CDi are higher priority.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,753 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Yes to the Vectrex, no to the CDi.
    And the Famicom is so affordable, ebay have them for 35 euro with a tenner postage, from the land of the rising sun no less.
    Imagine what you could be playing?
    Imagine the all new levels of smugness you could attain, playing Mario 3 in the original 60hz?

    Who are you and what have you done with Retr0????


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 53,279 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Think I'll lay off ebay for a while, went mad the last few times and I have to pay off my mate in America who is sending me over Etrian Odyssey 2 and 3 and the Catherine special edition.

    Had been considering going into catch a movie all day anyway (curse you IFI and your awkward screening times!) so a new RAGE delivery was the extra incentive I needed :)

    Picked this up for a fiver too, meant to be any good?

    Shame the pic was lifted from gamesniped. Maybe rare/expensive items need to be accompanied by an atavan style licking case picture to prove it's real? :pac:

    Licking a game is the only true way to prove it's yours.

    Be careful licking old consoles, may result in mild electrical shocks.

    And I bet no matter how many you licked, you stick weren't able to do Pikachu's electrical attacks? :(

    I had Turtles pyjamas, Turtles toys, ate **** loads of pizza, hell..I even had feckin pet turtles too! Did I turn green and start fighting crime? Well, I did turn a little green from the pet turtles (and had to give them to Dublin zoo) but no crime fighting :(

    Parents and teachers really shouldn't tell kids they can be anything they want when they grow up. Oh I want to be a fireman, yeah ok maybe. I want to be an insurace salesman, almost definitely. I want to be an astronaut, probably not but we can blame his lack of effort in school. But no one tells you that no, you can't be a ninja turtle.

    I'm dead inside.

    Well everyone knows that to become a Ninja Mutant Turtle you need to have an Italian name!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,753 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Or you could suck and become a Mutant Hero Turtle instead, what a bunch of losers!
