Bargain of the century - that game is of astounding quality!

you could make one yourself if you're handy with a soldering iron (I made a megadrive 1 cable myself last week) , but tbh its nearly cheaper to just buy one. If you want you can pay more and go RGB , but its your call.
Well, that would have been great news if.... I hadn't opened up the console in an attempt to give it a bit of a clean, and then the thing stopping working alltogether upon reassembley
I might try and get it working again but I really should just go and buy a Mega Drive 1 as I've always wanted one of those as the first part of a Mega Drive 1 / Mega CD 1 / 32X combo unit. Yeah I know some people hate the sight of that, but to me it looks amazing

Which HMV shop did you get that Kirby DS game? How much was it? Think I want a copy. Is it any good?
Oh and is Wario any use?
Seem to be getting back into DS games as of late, due to there being no 3ds games atm. They look great on the 3ds screen too!
I got Kirby from GAME in Dundrum. They had another copy of it there as well. I have seen it in GAME Dawson St. too. It was €16. Its a straight forward Nintendo platformer basically. It does nothing revolutionary but looks lovely and is fun to play. The central gimmick is absorbing enemy powers and sometimes mixing them up to create new powers.
Wario on DS wasn't made by Nintendo and its severly lacking in Nintendo magic as a result. Nintendo seemingly did very litle supervising of the project as it came out as a pretty weak platformer with some very dodgy controls. I'd only recommend it for completion purposes only as its one of the worst Nintendo published platformers since Yoshi's Universal Gravitation on the Game Boy Advance.
Strangely, Wario DS has been sealed in a very odd fashion - instead of the seal being horizontal like normal it appears vertically sealed for some reason - probably a factory mistake. If you want a a really good DS platformer that is less well known I'd recommend The Legendary Starfy on import, Super Princess Peach, which is superb, and the highly underrated Ivy the Kiwi - one of the best games on the format in my view, even though it is very short.0 -

I forgot about this one while I was just stacking some games away, I popped my PCB cherry last week when my first PCB arrived in the post.
One of my favourite games in the arcade that (correct me if I am wrong) never received a home conversion, neither did it's prequel. I love both games very much, the isometric viewpoint and attention to detail is blissful!
This PCB is the joystick version too. Hooray.

Kula Quest arrived this morning so have been playing it for a little bit. It's every bit as good as I remember the demo!
Seller I got it from has another copy for sale http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220871776524
I offered $16.50 for mine which works out at about €15 incl postage.0 -
Incredibly , it arrived today!luas_dublin wrote: »Originally Posted by luas_dublin View Post
I've a "havent tested it in years, may work" Megadrive 1(ebay sale with lovely stock photo) winging its way to me at the moment .Seemingly the whole lot bar RF cable, plus 2 controllers.
99p plus a tenner postage.
Also he has to split the packages up in the post as the postage was more than he thought it'd be *.
Place your bets people
result a: both boxes arrive once I replace the "missing" cable it all works
result b both boxes arrive, and I get a dead meg , but a working PSU and pads(not the end of the world as they'll be handy)
result c: both boxes arrive, the PSU is knackered but the meg works
result d: one box arrives ..the other 'lost' and I get a meg on its own
result e: one box arrives ..the other 'lost' and I get 2 pads
result f: both boxes arrive , its a megadrive 2.
result g: both boxes arrive , one contains a wooden megadrive , the other some bricks.
result h: there is no spoon , the matrix is real, I am the one
result i: Wolftones/Atari jaguar
Until it arrives and I open the boxes I wont know ,and its state is in flux:
Yes!... its Schrodinger's megadrive.

*In fairness to the guy he's got 100% feedback , and its probably costing him money to send this.I'm such a cynic
...later..
hey we had result J!: I got two parcels , one of them with two 3 button joypads , the other with a M1 PSU.Mailed him to see if he's split it into 3 , probably being optimistic here though.
With a delivery docket attached that as far as I can see looks like it ended up in Lima , Peru , and then was sent back to Dublin.The dates all match up as well!
How the hell that happened , since he had sent a 2nd parcel at the same time that arrived I have no idea.
Downside is I now have a spare MD 1..oh well

I said I wouldn't buy anymore games for a while but..... couldn't resist
I found some superb bargains today, all factory sealed in a baragin bill in PC World. I was like a pig in **** in that bargain bin when I spied it today
This is what I picked up:
Nintendo Presents Crossworld Collection (DS) - €4
Professor Layton and Pandora's Box (DS) - €7.50
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit or Whatever Its Called (Xbox 360) - €12
Mystery Case Files Millionaire (DS) - €5
Delighted with that little haul to be honest - getting a factory sealed Layton for €7.50 is particularly good.....0 -

Harvey Normal (my own favourite bargain stop) had the first one for twenty squids new recently enough. Check out your local Curry's or PC World and you might find the second and third games for a good price - best of luck 0 -
