That reminds me, when I was in Akihabara I happened upon a very small, almost hidden away shop run by some aul wan. She had every rare game in the known universe.
I got to hold, and have my photo taken with (I don't care if this sounds sad, it's a fecking massive acheivement) with this game:
However, I spotted something I think is even rarer, a copy of Yoshi's Cookie that came bundled with a free microwave! :eek: (Seems it's in the same Wired article I got the above snap from).
I think the price was around ¥200,000. Yer wan also had some games that were so rare they weren't even for sale. I forget off hand what they were now, but I'll dig out the snaps at some point.0 -

Alas not, more like €1600-ish. It's value has escalated though, the copy I saw (and held) was marked at nearer €2500. I didn't see the microwave that came with it, yer wan had it locked away somewhere but it was bundled with the game. It looked more like a range than a microwave though.
I din't get to hold Darius Alpha though as yer wan had it in some plastic box with the success letter.
I cried when I saw that game and the letter. True story.

That deal in PCWorld is steller, wonder if any more stores doing it,
might pop into Cork Store for a Gander, I still having bought StarFox, MarioKart and KidIcarus for 3DS.
But was finding the 3DS to small to hold for long periods, and screen too small.
But now ive no excuse, Got 3DS XL and its steller. Pilotwings looks unreal on it.
And so much easier to hold. Gamestop left me bring home old 3DS for System transfer and throw in free offiical Plug.
Now which handheld to play, VirtualBoy on the BUS would be fun

Wow, I didn't know the screen size was that different!
Ideally I'd prefer a 3DS with a bigger screen but I do have the black Zelda version which makes up for the smaller screen... doesn't it?0 -

Few bits today.
Floppy drive emulator and a couple of key-rings.
The emulator will be used on a few systems before I decide its permanent home. Amiga 600/1200 will get tested first.
The LCD screen can be moved and placed away from the main board if you want to setup something like below. I'm not sure thats how I want it but will decide in due course.

Glad I could be of service!You louser!
Tortured all night I was before succumbing and going in just now!
Picked up Steel Diver and Batman Arkham City for a tenner!
Damn you Martineatworld, damn you and the horse you rode in on!
In fairness, it would be wrong not to head back when you could get two more games for a fiver each. Hell even if you had everything, you could have got them to trade in against a game/preorder in Gamestop or something.
Here's hoping Carrickmines has a decent selection left...0 -

Reminds me, I must get a VB at some point. Since the VB fiasco earlier this year Vertical Force has been gathering dust on my shelf.
Nice pickups by the way. Is the 3DS XL a worthwhile purchase? What's the 3D effect and up scaling like compared to the standard 3DS
Id highly recommend the upgrade from 3DS to XL. Its not as good looking as std 3DS.
But its so much easier to play games on it between comfort, easier access buttons and Bigger screen.
Screen itself makes it, picture looks absolutely gorgeous.
Saw people complaining about PIXELS can be seen now, but I didn’t notice anything.
Mario 3Dland – No real improvement 3D wise but easier to play.
But Ridge Race and Pilotwings looks UNREAL. 3D really pops on those.
Looking fwd to getting MarioKart\KidIcarus\Starfox to see how good 3D looks on it.
I’ll have to pick up a Zelda 3DS down the line for collection 0 -
