I'd buy a C64 again just for those 3 Rowlands games. I remember having Creatures and Creatures 2 at 'full price' but they were well worth the £10 each at the time. I only had the Commodore Format cover mount demo of Mayhem though just as I was leaving the C64 platform.

What a fantastic purchase you made. Brings back many happy memories.

Damn Candy Club, a place I can always see but never enter, ba humbug!

Don't worry little Ikea-Cab, I still love you..... (inadequate little b@st@rd!)

Got most of this stuff a few weeks ago from eBay and Rage and whilst the Wii stuff isn't Retro just yet, it practically is.

Really enjoying Paper Mario, great adventure and Mario polish, a few flaws but fun none the less. Yoshi's Island on GBA is breath taking, seriously beautiful.

This is the real reason I'm posting, picked this wee Dingoo 320 up from GFLood over the weekend, did me a great deal, true gent. Its not quite a massive candy cab but I'm loving it none the less.

Easily hooked up to the telly (I know its anything but authentic or ideal but its fun none the less) and also the projector although I haven't managed to get that quite right just yet.

Dont normally end up in this thread but fair play on getting the Nes Boulder Dash

How much did it cost my guess would be €12.95?

I will be honest i gave that game a dogs life in my views towards it but it has grown on me a little bit and well done on owning it

Need to get my own copy back soon (Might be hard as its in Jersey lol)

ah bit less than that , bit more than I'd like though
(they'd a cheaper unboxed one there as well)
I had a lend of it years ago (my brother had a NES , and my meg died a death while i was in college , so there was a period of about a year or so in 94-95 where the NES was my main games machine)and enjoyed it a lot .
Its a bit cutesified compared to the "classic" look , and the different worlds remind me of the likes of "rockford" but I like it none the less

+1 on Paper Mario, I really enjoyed it too. That Dingoo looks like a handy little device, nice.

Someday someone is going to post "Chlamydia" or "Gonorrhea" to the OP's question "Post here everytime you get something new".
Of course, it is unnecessary to say that no photographic evidence will be required, no.
A pdf of the appointment letter for the STD clinic will suffice!!

Beautiful cab there Steve Si. Congratulations!

For me, these arrived today:

First up Smash TV, one of my all-time favourite games. I can't believe the nick it's in. Looks like it was literally unwrapped from the box and kept in a vacuum sealed room!

Usual stuff, NTSC-J, CIB, RC-OCD:

Next up, to compliment my SHMUP collection, the complete series of Area 88 on DVD. Not NTSC-J alas, but Japanese 2.0, English 5.1, English subtitles and not SG-OCD but sealed nonetheless!

How did it smell!?!

Pyongyang · 23-08-2011 05:26PM

Haven't sniffed it yet, sure it'll be tangy though!

Jack burton · 23-08-2011 07:31PM

heres what arrived for me in the last while

Now this megadrive I got is a bit different to other ones I have, for what I gather its german, so hopefully it wont decide how much my other consoles get to spend

ondafly · 23-08-2011 09:03PM

a few pickups I've gotten my hands on over the last few weeks

Jamma to Taito adapter

and the most important of them all ! Bubble Bobble

Having some issues with it though, so off to do some trouble shooting :pac:

CiDeRmAn · 23-08-2011 09:13PM

Bubble Bobble, its like they found some happiness and enshrined it in silicon, one of the greatest games of all time tbh, smashing stuff.
It's on my bucket list of games I want to own in a cab, along with Robotron and Star Wars.

Hmm, a German Megadrive...
Has it tried to invade Poland yet?

Buuurrnnrn Germany!!

Don't mention the war:pac:

Jack burton · 23-08-2011 09:29PM

Well it seems to have taken a place on top of my shelves and strangely all the games from every system besides the megadrive have all been thrown into my bin and set on fire.

Could just by the weather thats causing that aswell though

ah its true - best game ever FACT. Sure even look at the chip with Bub on it, can't ask for more really. Killed many an hour playing it with my cousin on board an irish ferry to Cherbourg many moons ago!

Got these today for my ever growing boxed NES collection.

Pyongyang · 23-08-2011 10:15PM

The cover for Soccer is utterly hilarious. That should be a music album cover.

Is there anything more impressive than a boxed NEX collection? I don't go in for boxes from that era myself as I have neither the money nor patience for tracking down good examples but when you see a bunch of them together, my do they look good.

katharinewheel · 24-08-2011 11:20AM

I'm a newbie here but I thought I'd share anyway.

Anyways, these came in the post during the week. Did a little happy dance when they arrived.

Probably my main collecting obsession is Boxed NES games and consoles. I must have had about 15 NES pass through my hands in the last 6 months, i usually buy em if they have a few games with them, region free and put in new 72pins in the consoles, then release them back into the wild for another 20 years :pac: I keep the games i dont have though so i usually make my money back on the consoles and my collection of games grows! ive about 40-50 boxed NES games now i think.
