Ah crud, theres a bug in the GC version?

Retr0gamer · 02-12-2011 06:46PM

There was an area about an hour into the game. I cleared out all the enemies and told to proceed through a door which just wouldn't open while all the AI crowded around it. Going to a previous save didn't help. Might have just got unlucky.

Might go back to it to see if I change my mind since it gets good word of mouth.

Ill have xenoblade, okami for ps2 and rub the rabbits still to get , hopefully after xmas

Loved Metal Arms, first played it on the Xbox and thought it was the business.
Not to freak out Retr0 but the game it reminded me most of was Halo but from a 3rd person perspective.
Loves remotely operating enemy droids and also the weapons are a lot of fun.
Its a bit like a more fun Ratchet and Clank but without the sh1te sidekick and with better jokes.
I didn't bump into any bugs though....

Finally man good job! I presume it's missing the manual? Still an excellent price. If I sell mine I'll be putting a reserve price on it for sure. :pac:

Jack burton · 04-12-2011 08:10PM

Ah no manual, so im breaking my own rules, but very happy to be getting it for that price. Sure a manual might pop up somplace, never know

that seller has some stuff aswell

Andrew76 · 04-12-2011 08:14PM

The manual popping up on it's own was how I completed mine so defo save a search for it. Good job man.

It means you need to get a monitor for your cab!

Congratulations Jacqueline Bertoli. A fine purchase.

Dale Parish · 05-12-2011 12:01AM

Yes. Finally. No keyboard though; need to source one :pac:
Edit: Will get a pic of the actual one I bought when I go to England next month

o1s1n · 05-12-2011 12:22AM

I've no idea what that is, but it looks really cool. Is that a CRT build into the unit itself?

Yeah it is! It's an IBM 5155; basically an IBM PC with a built in CRT and carrying handle. The keyboard happens to be build differently though so I'v to get a specific IBM PC/XT one

o1s1n · 05-12-2011 12:35AM

Excellent! Just looking at them on youtube. Really love that orange display.

The person I bought it off got it as collateral for her company when they were helping an old woman move house. She gave them that; since it was lying there doing nothing for God knows how long. Amazing what is out there to be found...

I'm actually looking for a scope for one of these babies if anyone happens to have one laying around.

It just doesn't look complete without one

What thats shop in Cork like? I heard they had a good bita stuff but from a crap source

Thinking about going down for a look if its any good

Retr0gamer · 05-12-2011 05:02PM

Only know the one retro shop in cork. A lot of overpriced stuff there although Sera did find a dirt cheap Kula World there.

Yeah it's a balls alright.
They either don't want to risk sending it with USPS,
or just couldn't get a good shippind deal from them.

I reckon if they opened a warehouse in Europe they'd double sales as the shipping puts people off.

After ours died we had it sitting there for a few years and replaced the part earlier this year for probably the same price as what you bought yours for.

Thats a cracking deal.

PS2 games, and 700MB rips of films are so much nicer to watch on them,

the pixelation is so less noticable, which is probably the same for a lot of CRTs, but the picture on the triton's is sweet,

the sound is very decent for built in speakers too.
