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!

The N64 doesn't support RGB unfortunately. If it's a NTSC machine and the right model you can modify it to RGB. For PAL models you are out of look. However you can use s-video which is pretty much the same quality as RGB. However on PAL N64's you'll need to get a modified s-video cable. I got one from consolegoods.co.uk and it was well worth it.

Just got Dreamcast and N64. DC came without games but I've got Zelda Majora's Mask and two sh!te sport games (baseball and soccer).

I'm so excited, never had DC before, neither N64. Need to get RGB cables for both, pity that my LCD doesn't have VGA in.

For a moment there I thought you had fallen for the old 'Xbox box' trick.

I just paid 3.99 including deliver for an empty gamegear box and 5 empty gamegear game boxes. I dont know if i should be happy i have a box for the gamegear now or slapped for buying empty boxes..

As mentioned elsewhere I just bought Okamiden for the DS, looking forward to playing this one.
I was surprised to spot it in the preowned rack in GS, had some mental wrangling over if to get it or not, I guess my heart won over my head, seems the euro release is rare enough.

Damn you, I want it badly but not badly enough that I'd drive all the way out to Balbriggan to get it:pac:

I got a game boy advance copy of Sword of Mana from ebay recently. Stated it was in perfect nick, not squashed, ripped etc. Got it and it was in bits like an oliphaunt sat on it. Mentioned it to him and got a similar reply. Hate ebay. Haven't even played the game in protest.

I thought Henry Hatsworth was a good game. I never beat it though, it gets super tough.

He offered me a refund of the game but not the postage which was a ironic considering that was what I was complaining about.

Can't be bothered with a dispute claim, its all ended now, I left him poor feedback because he was so rude and unpleasant and he's blocked me as a result (not that I'd be buying from him again anyway).

It'l be cheaper and easier to buy something from the bargain bin in Game for a couple of euro and switch the cases.

FFS! how much effort does it take to make a little square package out of cardboard? Lazy seller.

martineatworld

Ha, I got Henry Hatsworth in the post last week. Good taste! Have yet to get stuck into it yet though. I'd make a dispute against him and look for a refund. Nothing worse than a product you're not happy with, even if it is a good bit of hassle.

valleyoftheunos

Just a few bits from ebay and adverts.

Very happy with the GBA, got it quite cheap and its in decent condition. I never had one back in the day because the unit screen put me off, I was also out of gaming at the time, I was a student and was busy spending my money on ber, beer and more beer. The screen though is lovely in the right conditions and happily my kitchen as well as the smallest room in the house are perfect;).

The main reason I bought it was to play some old GB games I found at my Mother's house recently, has been nearly 20 years since they got played and they really feel retro.

What you can't really see here is the badly damaged DS case from an Ebay seller. If I may be excused a brief rant, the fecker used a wafer thin plastic envelope (which the game is sitting on) and then after being spectacularly rude, suggested I had no grounds for complaint because no one else had ever complained and that I was some kind of noob who didn't understand how eBay worked. Its all a bit pathetic for €9 worth of DS game but the whole thing has put me right off ebay completely. Rant over.

I might suggest that those with the means pick up the game PewPew for Android phones, not sure if it's available for that apple thingy.
It a very nice and smooth variant of Geometry Wars and, aside from the usual screen joystick woes, is most impressive.
Robotek is interesting as well.
And both free!
Happy days!

xperia play ftw, I believe is the correct response

johnny_ultimate

My cheapo Samsung smartphone doesn't have multitouch so playing Pew Pew on it is the equivalent of playing an FPS with a guitar controller!

Andrew76

Nice find indeed.

I started playing the first one years ago alright, but to be honest with work and two kids i didnt have the time to put into it and its not the type of game you can play for half an hour every night. I still have it, might get around to it in about 16 years when they are old enough to go out drinking!

I know the feeling, hell I'm unemployed and still have a backlog I'll never get around to!

Some day Little King's Story will be removed from the plastic, some day!

I think i got it for 3euro delivered off gamestop when they where doing those deals a while back, its still in the plastic.

It's worth slogging through the first game before you start - just to see the little effects your decisions in part one had on the second. Second is a much better game - with less elevators! - but they work surprisingly well together.

Couldn't find a retro game shop in Chicago. The one I had planned to visit was aeons away so unfeasible to visit.

I did pick up an Apple TV and a Wacom Bamboo +Touch pad though while in the USA.

Also had a stack (literally) of PC Engine and NTSC-J PS1 titles arrive. And my XE-1 HE Pro arrived!

Today these cute little buxom pups were waiting for me on my desk to help beat away those pesky 'back to work blues':

DoDonPachi and Nights have SC-OCD. Not checked Layer Section yet, it might have SC-OCD. More pics later (when I've fought off the jetlag!) and when I've cello wrapped them up!

Oh and before I forget, I've a Virtua Stick Pro on the way to me too, as well as Le Mans (BD) and Akira (Steelbook BD). Was gonna get them here but the Akira price was ridiculous in-store.

I love Mass Effect 2. People who say it's too accessible can **** right back off to their pointless menus and overly complex stats (i.e the bollocks that is Dragon Age). In this case accessibility is a good thing - a very tightly designed game. For the first time in a BioWare game I felt my decisions and actions had a tangible, interesting impact on the way the game played out. In a year when people were going mad about how the overrated Heavy Rain changed interactive storytelling, it was only Mass Effect 2 that had gameplay and interactive narrative combine into one excellent whole.

I finally bought ME2 arrived today in the post, paid the princely sum of 9 euro delivered for it new and sealed

CiDeRmAn

Its cool.
Just remember, it's wrong to go around taking other peoples stuff.
That Link fella must have a set of ASBOs as long as your arm, all the chests and pots he finds lying around, before rifling through and fecking off with the contents...
Hello Deku tree, yes I'm from the gas company, just checking the location of all your valuables so I can sneak in later and rob you blind!

Despite asking for Dragon Quest DS advice last week, I ended up picking up Chrono Trigger for DS instead. I never played it before but seeing it on nearly every top 10 games ever list has me thinking I should check it out. Plus it appears to be a hard enough game to track down on DS.

You didn't do too badly then. Chrono Trigger is arguably the best JRPG ever made up there with those Dragon Quest games. It's also a colaboration between the creators of Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy so you'll be getting a bit of Dragon Quest anyway

I'm mid-way through a professor layton game atm so i'll finish that first and move onto my new game afterwards.

Oops I meant I paid only 15 for warioland. Also forgot to mention I got warioland 4 for GBA from rage as well. Going to have to stop buying this for a while though.

You filthy pig, I wanted that but was too lazy to pop in the weekend:(
