I had a Starcom ship as a kid. Think I still have it somewhere. Toys that were ahead of their time.
Ah cool, was it the white Starmax Bomber? Any time I mention Starcom to someone they seem to have owned one of them
Great ship that.
The line really was ahead of it's time. In the end, it died off due to the realism. They weren't flashy enough.
Ultimately though, that's whats given it its cult status. (and in many cases, obscene price levels!)0 -
Nope. I had this. The Star Wolf Starfighter (had to look it up!).
I think I still have it somewhere in the lock-up. Maybe. I had something else too, I forget the actual name of it but it was like a cross between Lego Technic and Starcom.
I wish I could remember what it was called. The toy was almost like a Bigtrak but a grey colour with proper rubber wheels (almost like low profile RC rubber wheels).
Any ideas anyone?0 -

Blimey! Totally forgot, while looking up Starcom stuff, I had the space station too. I remember because yer man the pilot had magnetic feet.
Hope I still have them, seeing as they are worth a few bob!
EDIT: Appears that toy I was talking about was also Starcom! The 'Shadow Invader' buggy. Didn't realize I had a a few bits of this stuff. Bet I fecked it all out now though.
EDIT2: Holy feck! This is the thing I had! I remember getting this giant box for Christmas! OK, I need to get someone in to the lockup for a look around. Dig these treasures out!

I just want a Simon, I've seen Jr versions for sale but it's not the same.
I used to build my starship toys out of lego or mechano, and some cool stuff it was too, heavily influenced by Star Wars and Battlestar it has to be said, but then it was the late 70's!
Yeah but your Meccano looked like this

I received these today. Now, yes, Super Aleste is there, but it's eclipsed by The Tower. Just watch this opening video for the game, then tell me you don't bloody LOVE IT! It's like Little Computer People only good!
1. Super Aleste [Super Famicom, CIB, NTSC-J] and The Tower [Sega Saturn, BNIB, SG-OCD, NTSC-J]
2. Idol Janshi Wo Tsukucchaou ♥ *Limited Edition* [Dreamcast, CIB, SC-OCD, RC-OCD, 1st Run Print, NTSC-J], Paro Wars [PS1, NTSC-J], Davis Cup [PC Engine, BNIB, SG-OCD, NTSC-J], Metal Slug X [PS1, NTSC-J], Kunio's Soccer [PC Engine, BNIB, SG-OCD, NTSC-J]

Whoops! Corrected it now.
Nope, the language barrier should be fine for the most part. It's mostly icon driven with familiar looking icons. I love the look of this game so much I started a thread on it.
The Idol game is super cool too. I love Mahjong games. Not the pervy ones! This one is a limited edition first run print and is minty with all the bits. The second CD is a drama CD and a soundtrack which is nice. I do love a bit of Mahjong I confess!0 -

Indeed, the Astro mahjong CP's are very bizarre. I wouldn't go the arcade mahjong route I don't think as I don't understand the buttons. Simple, console mahjong games though are really good fun.
In fact, I've a mahjong game on my DS that my wife and I play more than any other game I have for the DS or GBA. Lots of fun and with this one the idol twist and the package in general is really cool.
The best part is, the majority of folks don't want these games because they're not 'cool'. I say keep thinking like that, more for me! 0 -

Just like the SC-OCD though, once you get a taste for it it consumes you
SC, RC, SG, CIB, BNIB, NTSC-J OCD's. Blame Pantryboy, he started it! 0 -

My SNEs collection will be modest though, mabye 35-40 of the best US games. Talking DK trilogy, Super Metroid, FF 3, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Super Punch Out, mario kart, super mario RPG, all the most obvious ones really haha but a few of the underrated gems too
If you're looking for those games CIB, some will set you back a good lot. Earthbound, you're talking hundreds boxed, Chrono Trigger in the region of 80-100, not sure about FF 3! The others could still bring you up to 50 each. CIB Snes is an expensive hobby so it is.SC, RC, SG, CIB, BNIB, NTSC-J OCD's. Blame Pantryboy, he started it!
Haha!! I don't think so. I was happy with Megadrive games missing booklets until Jack Burton pointed out to me a few years ago that it's far more awesome getting them CIB. I still curse him for that!
And you, you just had to bring it up to sniffing levels!
Oh, by the way, today is World Fetish day, so you can happily sniff your polyethylene bags without any risk of a slagging 0 -

I limit myself to one 'unseal and sniff' every 4 months. Seals the smell of investment in longer.
Mmm...SS-OCD!
