^Now, that's just sexy.

Indeed, the Gospel According To KO Kiki (p362, verse 47:17) states that this is graded as a fine stick. What's the throw like on that one?

@safetyboy Nice VB game by the way! Didn't know you had a VB. Is it NTSC-J or a NTSC-U console?

proud of my digital feather duster too! :pac:

Forget the feather duster, I'm surprised anyone can hear you over those socks on your airer!

These arrived today.

Want Iridion 2!

There's lots of cart only copies available to buy, but I really struggled to find a fully boxed copy in decent nick for a sensible price. I got my copy from a guy in Germany who, oddly, added a fun size pack of Haribo gummies to the parcel.

Wasn't cheap but I just tested it now and it's a wonderful game. Really pushes the GBA to to the city limits and beyond in to the wild yonder. Well worth the investment I think.

Fatal Fury 2 was an impulse, decided I'd like to get as many PC Engine Arcade CD titles as I can, see if I can get the set. The sealed item is a 4 port HDMI switch. I'm out of ports on my AV Receiver. Same with TOSLink ports, got a switch for that on Friday last week along with Blu Ray copies of Akira Steelbook and Le Mans.

Came in the post yesterday..Atari 2600Jr Black.......:D Big Pics coming thru, sorry about the size......:rolleyes:.
Came with 5 games:

Missile Command, Kangaroo, Pole Position, Galaxian and River Raid.

Needs a good cleaning but all working otherwise.

Saw yours a few days ago, thought I gotta pick one of them up soon, finally picked one up off the bay! €22 delivered, with one controller and psu and lead, I just hope it looks as good as yours when it lands....

Two words for cleaning carts and consoles people - baby wipes!! Works for me :cool:

Can you open atari carts safely to clean? im afraid to force them in case they break.

The majority of carts are held together with screws on the front under the label. I've read of people heating up the glue under the label to remove it to open them up, but there's no way I'd chance that. I can imagine the carnage I would end up with, bits of label everywhere!
Some carts can be snapped open easy enough though, I think it's just the Activision white label type.
Just use the tried and tested cotton bud option.

My haul I received today.

Be wary of playing Soulcalibur III -- it's known to corrupt PS2 memory cards.

Thanks for the heads up. I actually don't even know why I have that game, I thought I picked up something else.

Items that arrived today plus the BD's I got last week. Nice to have Daytona USA NTSC-J to match my Daytona USA: Circuit Edition NTSC-J.

the controls on Midway Treasures are well dodgy, a poor conversion but a bit of fun none the less.

How is the transfer on the Akira BD?

I've not tried either yet. Re Midway Treasures, I have a PS2 version as well, I just got the XBOX one for completism and SHMUP goodness.

I've actually not opened Akira yet. Not had the time to sit down and check it out properly.

However Le Mans is just absolutely fantastic. I've an Onkyo receiver with Dolby True HD/DTS HD (and 3D) capabilities and my word it really stretches my systems legs.

Absolutely glorious Ferrari P4 and Gulf Porsche sounds. An incredible experience it has to be said.

Here's some Akira grabs though which should give an indication of quality.
