I'm not a fan of all these mystery posts lately. Mountain Lodge Man actually started this trend I think.
Post Here When You Get Something New - Or Shut Up Until You Have It
I completely agree.
I've a few items that arrived today that I'll post up later
On a sad note, I received something I was waiting on for a few weeks and its a complete and utter disappointment and I'm genuinely upset about the quality of the workmanship.
I could do with a Whiskey to calm me down but seems as I'm not an alco and it's just after 12 I'll settle for a coffee.
Sadness.......... Pure sadness........0 -

Not helping on the mystery front man, or is that the point 0 -

Was it Retr0gamer? :pac:I could do with a Whiskey to calm me down but seems as I'm not an alco and it's just after 12 I'll settle for a coffee.
Care to join me in a belt of scotch?
Hope whatever it is that's shat on your wagon is sorted soon.

A little bit, but the sadness is real.Was it Retr0gamer? :pac:

Two "Arcade Machines" arrived today, one is fine, the other is an abomination.
It's not as bad as it might sound. More in a little bit when I get some pics.0 -

Well it's just I don't want to get excited about it and then it ends up broken or I got scammed and ended up with egg on my face.
Anyway if you really want to know it's Jack Bros on the Virtual Boy. Japanese and unboxed but it was at a price I was willing to pay.0 -
Did you plump for that Galaxian cab? I'd have loved it but it's in bits and yer man's pricing seems all over the shop. Sure on Adverts he wants €900 for it. He text me the other day saying I could have it for €400.
The restoration job on it alone would be more than likely double that to get a monitor, new artwork etc. I think the back is even missing from it.
I hope someone with the financial clout (ergo, you) picks it up and gives it a new life, it's sad to see beautiful machines like that just dying basically...
If you got a Windy or an Aero City though, you'll have to be beaten up, because that's just not fair!
edit: @Retr0gamer: Indeed, like the feckin Virtual Boy I bought that time that arrived in a robbers satchel. State of the thing. Nice GET! on Jack Bros though. 0 -

Nope, way too expensive. Anyway I only buy games I want to buy so a complete set for me is all the good games (and maybe some legendarily crap games) for the system
Also in a weird totally anti-dreamer of the year fashion the seller refunded me 2 sterling because the postage to ireland was cheaper than quoted.0 -

Perhaps its best to not get excited until you see the pics. Nobody will be jealous of my arcade machines today.0 -

I think purplebloke said there is 1 known Aero Table in Eire isn't there? But that one is in great nick I thought?
At least Aero's have a slightly more plentiful parts base than the Konami Windy. It's why I went for the Astro City, parts are more common. The Windy you'd have a cat in hell's chance of finding spares for those.
I think SteveSI or CathalDublin should buy that Galaxian, please don't let it die a miserable death. It deserves to be brought back to it's former glory lads!0 -

Today's bits.
Some new and still sealed Psygnosis Spectrum games as well as an Amstrad cover tape I've been on the look out for:
And a few more pics of the failed Robocop miniature:
Few bits for the Amiga mods:
I can extend the LCD now and place it away from the main pcb:
The other mini arcade (with an old iPhone 3GS inside running the show):

Just the few bits I got recently.
Tales of Symphonia took longer than Ghoul Patrol to arrive and it was from within Ireland as opposed to Germany. Seller had even refunded me. Never seen an post be so slow.
Have to say thanks to the Groutch for the PS1, he got it in the shop and posted it down which was super nice.
The other 4 games got from another guy on adverts and the boxes are in great shape and complete with maps and all.
Secret of Mana map is torn right down the middle, so still have to get that.
Haven't played Super Ghouls and Ghosts for at least 15 years but still tempered where all the chests were so far. That's kinda scary as I must of played the crap out of it in my early years. Still good at it too.0 -
