    When Dragons Lair stands out as one of the better titles on a format you know you're in trouble...

    Worth playing through it with a few friends/beers just for the ****s & giggles, truly awful stuff, best worst ending ever, guess the dev's never really expected anyone to actually play it through to the end. It's up on PSN for download although a boxed copy is cheaper.

    Give the first two zelda games a decent go. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Just hope your save battery is doing better than mine. The third zelda game however is the stuff nightmares are made of.

    So here's a question for you.

    Are the first two CDi Zelda games better than LOD?

    The only thing youll be pleasantly surprised by is the level of violence youll be able to unleash upon an inanimate gaming console.

    Genuinely worthless games as anything other than sheer morbid curiosity.

    Where's that broken record picture Steve uses to torment Sparks?
    I think it might be appropriate here!

    Give it a rest Retr0!

    I'm not taking that abuse from a Superman 64 fan!

    In other news Izuna 2: Return of the Unemployed Ninja arrived today. Sauron wasn't impressed. 'I taught you told me you weren't buying an more games!'. I guess she should have checked if hell has frozen over first.

    I think he's trying to pull an ultimate troll on us here. Get us all to agree with him on something which clearly makes no sense.

    'yeah, Retr0, you know, I played those Zelda CDi games and you're right, they're really good'

    He can then sit back and laugh, in the knowledge that we'll believe whatever he says.

    No Retr0, you won't dupe us that easily.

    So haven't gotten round to taking a photo of all the stuff I picked up in Tokyo, but here's a pic I took while over there with one of the day's hauls.

    Bit of overlap with the pc engine pic I already put up but some other stuff there too, most notably the Game Boy Light in the middle there. Also picked up retro game centre cx 2 and G&W Collection 2 that day, not in the pic though.

    Haven't posted here a while, I got a boxed snes off a chap who posts here sometimes from adverts. It's all in very nice condition, judging from the condition inside its never been used. He threw in DKC1, joe and mac and some other game I cant remember now along with the all stars cart for 70 quid which I thought was a really fair price

    Shamelessly stealing his advert pics :pac:

    It came with all the inserts and manuals and stuff aswell which is awesome, thanks montgomeryclift

    I picked up NBA jam boxed and complete along with an NTSC super smash tv complete for cheap from a uk seller aswell, think i got them 12 quid including delivery

    Forgot to mention that snes version is the same one I had as a kid, so added nostalgia :)

    No pics of Wild Guns. :(
    I see it's on on eBay now and is already up to €50 with €25 post.
    I don't get why though, as there is a merry good carr in Germany with no damage for €65 including post.
    Do people not search around on eBay before they start throwing down stupid money?

    Yeah I posted about it in the general thread, I guess there's no point being bitter towards the guy selling it but its fair annoying

    Just got Binary Domain, for the 360, for a mere 11.99 in HMV in Swords, brand spanking new.
    It's actually supposed to be quite good so I look forward to playing it soon... some time in 2013/2014...

    Just seen the posts there now. I'm not frustrated at your guy trying to get the best price for his game.
    What is annoying me is people pushing up the prices of stuff by bidding without checking elsewhere first.
    That game will prob go for about €80 plus the mad postage price, when a bit of browsing shall bring up a better copy for €65 all in.

    I should of just offered asking on Sunday when it came up and paid him by PayPal. Stupid me trying to haggle the price.
    Damn you gamechasers!

    Weird, weird game. Its like a chest high walls shooter mixed with motivational speaker/cheerleader simulator.

    You: "Great job!" :)

    Them: "Aww shucks. Thanks!" :o

    You reckon it will go for 80e? I think it might go for alot more but maybe the ntsc version is more expensive

    I seen NTSC copies going for mental money a while ago, thanks for the heads up on the German ebay though, will definitely get a copy from there at some point

    I'll slowly get round to taking pics, but here's just an example of how amazingly good the condition of typical 2nd hand stuff is in Japan. Not so much as a crease in the instruction manuals or anything
