Must give him a shout

I have no holder

There use to be a rule on AO that forbid sales of original Arcade ashtray's because they are usually stolen from the Arcades .

I'd steal a red Taito one my self if I could locate one

Few bits today.
And the main event, some plastic cases. But not just any cases, these are very special indeed and highly recommended(seen here with its plastic protective wrap still on, yes the protective cases have protection ).

VGA Cases or GTFO! :pac:

Nice, not sure about Pacman though....

Can't wait for my Turbo Everdrive, being shipped as we speak!
I'm all a tremble, a tremble!

Did Aeros have a holder similar to the SNK candy ones?

I was thinking about trying to get one made up if you can find the dimensions for one anywhere. I cant!

o1s1n · 25-07-2012 01:53PM

For anyone interested in a Taito ashtray, I pmed that ebay seller and he said he'll be getting more in 2-3 weeks.

Here's his shop -

Yeah Pacman might be a little off.

My Turbo Everdrive arrived the other day. Very nice it is indeed and shipped very quickly.
You going to use it in a PC Engine or TurboGrafx?

Mines with the TG-16, Av mod done by Kerbdog.
I have can't wait to sample things hithertofore only played via Emu!
The TG will go from the least played device in the collection, the most neglected, to a very popular console indeed!

If it works as well as I hope I'm going to get a TG-16 Express, get the screen mod done, could be very cool indeed.

Akiba connect is the ebay seller I bought my ashtray from long ago .

Yeah, I'm planning on getting the screen mod done to my Turbo Express at some stage. It uses the same screen as the Nomad mod so its very doable.

CiDeRmAn · 25-07-2012 03:01PM

Yeah, I have Kerbdog on stand by for all my console modding needs, handy!
The Turbo Express definitely seems to have come down to affordable prices too, I seem to vaguely remember them being astronomical, now I think they can be had for around 120 euro or so.

Think I paid around that for my one and its in very good condition.
Now is the time to grab one for sure while they are relatively cheap.

Called in on RAGE today for the first time in ages, picked up Kid Klown and Super Star Wars for the Snes and Kaido Racer 2 for the PS2, 25 all together.

HELLO!

One a RAGE related note, Retro Game Base in London have started pricing their new stock items on their Facebook page - pic link below.

Now, I know it's been said a million times, and I know they do it to ensure footfall, but if RAGE bit the bullet and started doing something similar, meaning I knew what I'd be paying ahead of time, I'd be much more inclined to rush down for a game. As it stands, as every RAGE Facebook update appears every few days, I sigh when comment after comment of "How much is that?" go ignored.

Jesus RAGE couldn't do that, the market prices fluctuate so wildly from day to day that just keeping up with pricing would be a full time job :rolleyes:

Retr0gamer · 25-07-2012 08:56PM

MUSHA Aleste prices certainly took a nose dive the day johnny ultimate walked in there.

They're not always so bad... Picked up a Dreamcast mouse from them for a tenner in box recently.

It's not that there is anything wrong per se, one just feels a bit fleeced when you are buying a common game, something bought on Adverts for reasonable money, but finding you have to pay a premium to buy it from Ireland's only retro gaming shop.

A drag to be sure.

Just thinking now I should have gone to CEX instead or , at least, as well...

If you genuinely fancy a business partner, get in touch

OwaynOTT · 26-07-2012 09:47AM

Maybe we should all band together and call it The Posters from the Arcade & Retro Forum from Boards' Retro Gaming Co-operative.

The "PARFBRGCOOP"?

Yep, that has a sweet ring to it

Retr0gamer · 26-07-2012 09:53AM

Not sure it's a good business model when you have gamers bringing all the best swag home at cost price without putting it up for sale :P

Cheers for the offer but I don't think I could have a business partner on this. Not many people would share my views on how to run a business.

Plus, I seen your prices on eBay a couple of pages back, so.....

Can we at least expect a discount? Pretty please??

OwaynOTT · 26-07-2012 10:17AM

Can we get it for a dollar if we say 'I'd buy that for a dollar"?
