Does anyone know any reputable places to buy a modded snes with region free and 50/60hz mods? Thanks.

Retr0gamer · 19-09-2011 02:38PM

This guy usually has modded consoles. Postage can be a bit steep. Got my Saturn from him.

RetroGamer (the magazine not the poster here) usually recommends Console Passion:

Either of those stores are great. Ordered from them both before.

I was talking to a girl at a party the other night and she'd played Great Gianna Sisters but had never played Super Mario Bros. Imagine that?

Retr0gamer · 19-09-2011 05:04PM

I always wanted to play the C64 version.

Fixed it!

Jack burton · 19-09-2011 07:20PM

Yeah can I ask how the conversation got around to the great Gianna sisters?

And the obvious, what she of the hotness variety?

Wasn't bad at all iirc.

/Edit: Eh, just to clarify, I had played SMB and am not a girl nor the person Dinorex was speaking to. :pac:

Well, he was likely to be very very drunk and so may gotten some of the details wrong, and you may have been in a frock at the time, talking about The Great Giana Sisters and SMB, easy to make a series of errors of memory whilst inebriated and get the story slighty skewed....

Oh, and thanks a bindle to all with the talk elsewhere about Raiden, I went and put a bid down on Raiden III for the PS2, a PAL copy, on eBay.fr and now have to hope to the gods that someone out bids me!

I only bid up to 40 euro after seeing it elsewhere for 200, but still, I don't have 40 euro!

Anyone know what power supply a PSOne takes. Got one cheap with no power supply. Please don't say a specific on to the PSOne

Retr0gamer · 19-09-2011 09:47PM

Looks like Resi 4 HD is a complete farce. Capcom just ported the PC version which was a cheap tacky port that removed all the atmospheric filters, lighting and effects. So a cheap tacky port of a cheap tacky port. Well doen Crapcom.

It's one specific to the PSOne.

Actually, I haven't a clue. Just wanted to say that because you asked me not to.

Grand seems pretty standard.

Yep. I pretty sure I remember it being a lot of fun.

Lets not mention the crappy Amiga version ever again...

Oh and I managed to bag myself a CD32 of my own in the end...

It was o1s1n.

Atavan-Halen · 20-09-2011 01:29AM

Since when was Kula World on the PS1 so expensive?! Remeber it was on a demo and loved it so decided to have a look on ebay. Didn't expect to see it at the €40-50 mark

dat demo
remember playing it in my cousins house, was MediEvil on that too or am I imagining?
When I was looking for K/W it was about €30 that was last September, got it in a shop in Cork for €20

Hah! I was just killing time waiting for an ebay auction to end.

CiDeRmAn · 20-09-2011 07:16AM

Kula Worl has been an expensive PS1 game for years, I picked up mine for peanuts by chance but mostly it is a pricey title.
Looks great though, and plays well.
Kororinpa on the Wii does something similar but it's more a navigation game rather than the 3D spatial puzzles of Kula World.
Isn't it on PSN?

Watched FAQ about Time Travel last night, brilliant! I wonder if there is any chance of a sequel? FAQ about Parallel Universes?

Still winning the auction for Raiden III at the mo, scary stuff, fingers crossed I'll be trumped before the end.
Sometimes, just sometimes, I sit before the screen hoping against hope that someone will outbid me due to a foolhardy click on the "confirm bid" button!

After watching some youtube vids I went and bought it last night also. In between not stalking Sera's posts. :pac:

Tried to watch that one night, but I didn't really take to it. It's no Hot Tub Time Machine.

Saw Attack the Block recently and it's really good, much better than the trailers made out.

GristlyEnd · 20-09-2011 09:35AM

I did a clear out of the top of my wardrobe over the weekend and found 1 x Nintendo 64 (US model), 2 x Gamecubes (purple & white), 1 x DSi, 1 x PSP, 1 x Gameboy (very old) & 1 x Wonderswan. Completely forgot that I had most of this stuff.

Can't find any of my games for the N64 though

o1s1n · 20-09-2011 10:10AM

Wehey! I'll see if I can pick up Xenoblade online now. Cheers Sera

Kula World is in the same boat as Tombi. Everyone played and loved the demo but never bought the damn game so it's now kinda rare and silly expensive.

johnny_ultimate · 20-09-2011 10:23AM

+1 on Attack the Block. Best genre film of the year; dare I suggest.
