nabbed an amiga 600 box of games and a boxed gunship 2000 from a nice poster here

(in the middle of adding a hard disk at the mo , I'd forgotten how painful doing ANY modding on an amiga is , and just how helpfully unhelpful amiga forums are {basically they tend to assume you've used nothing but an a1200 for the past twenty years, and also are German).

Hah, serious?! That's truly insane man, I love it

It would have been 7 copies but I traded one a while back to gain access to a group of collectors and their mental tasty collections. I think I mentioned it months ago here.
I'm not sure but I think I might have the most copies of Darius Alpha now. I know one other guy in Japan that has 3 and he says he knows an American with 2.
I have a problem, I know

I think they'd look cool framed like the way they do platinum and gold certified albums. Not sure if its the best way to store them though!

Yeah, that would look cool but probably not the besayeay to store them.
Maybe just a boring aluminium flight case and some cut foam?

After a little bit of negotiation over the last couple of months and some bank transfers I will soon be in possession of a total of 6 Darius Alphas for my increasing collectible but crap game side collection

Now, how should I be storing these babies? At the moment my current copies of the game are stored in a simple wooden box with some padding and silica gel (not in my home by the way as I'm only renting and it's hard to get things like this covered under rental insurance).

So, any thoughts on how to store pricey collectible games for the long term?

Woohoo, Wii LAN adapter works a treat, everything is working nice, quick and lag free, so I'm watching Zombieland on the Gamepad display... Rule No. 1, Cardio!

Rule #6: Do not sit in the corner and sulk. It draws attention in a negative way. Draw attention to yourself, but on your own terms.

Same rules right?

Got Mortal Kombat 2 jamma pcb today.

Now I know its no Street Fighter but it was one of my fave games in the arcade games growing up.

not too bothered by the damage to the cover art as it was only €2.50

001-15.jpg?t=1357202723

I went a bit mad today and started checking prices of Wii U games in HMV, having seen the prices in the Sligo branch.
The prices down here were higher but today I phoned around and were the lower in Blanch.
I called into the Swords branch and ZombiU was still nearly 60 so I asked for a price check and it was actually 49.99, so I bought it.
Anyhow, happy with that.
Try and play it later....

Oh, my Wii LAN arrived today as well, my Wii U WiFi misery is over at last!

This is kind of videogame related... just took delivery of the following Vinyl record:

I love the last sentence on the back of it though:

I honestly have no idea what track this is... or even when I ordered it. I have no recollection of ordering it whatsoever but I assume it's something that was in my wishlist on discogs that popped up for sale. I'm slowly building a steady video game related vinyl collection.

If anybody is interested I may post it up here some day. :-)

*edit*

It seems this is the track in question:

I don't think I'll be playing it too much, it's more for the collection I suppose.

Looks like I've just agreed to buy a lovely Nes Advantage Stick, as well as an unboxed copy of Quackshot for the MD.
I honestly thought my MD/Gen cart buying days were over with the arrival of the Everdrive but, no, I am still enjoying the experience of the genuine article.
The Advantage stick looks nice, pity my Gradius titles for the format are on the Famicom, and I can't use the Advantage without modification!
I might see about putting an auxillary Nes port on the Fami, in the back, for just such events, must be doable, the devices are ultimately the same, might be a splitter to do the job for me.....
Oh, such fun, more burnt fingertips from inexpert soldering!!!

At the same time as getting the Wii U Pro Controller, the controller that I don't own any games for, I also picked up a new HDMI switcher box, so's I can have the 360, PS3 and Wii U hooked up at the same time, the old one only handled two inputs, this new one lets it handle 3, it's not automatice

, it's got manual buttons, but then it was around €35, which isn't bad at all.
Now to await B-Day vouchers, so I can pick up a few proper games.
Nintendoland is in no way a decent title to have, the single player stuff is pretty pants, excepting the DK game.

Actually what I am doing nowadays is getting old DVD players out of the recycling center and removing the caps and voltage regulators from them, and some diodes. But you will always come across the odd set of caps you can't find locally or.. if you can, they'll be in bulk!

o1s1n

It's been an absolute nightmare trying to find caps for that monitor. I've been firing off emails all over the place, but similar to what you said, people only wanted to sell in bulk.

Was about to completely give up and buy a mountain of them when I remembered I'd bought a Vectrex cap kit from that lad and thought I'd chance my arm.

His name is Luke. You can contact him at sales@console5.com

If you ever need a specific cap kit put together give him a shout. He didn't sell a cap kit for my monitor, but I sent him some lists and photos and he was able to do one up.

Holy crap :eek:
Thanks for the link! Saves so much hastle faffing around RS buying 50 packs of caps..

Got a small bundle of joy today. Inside was Phantasy Star 2, 3 and 4. Now to try and find a reasonable copy of Phantasy Star 1 and to kick myself for not picking up the one for $15 from Lukie Games.

Also a massive box arrived today, thankfully only my dad was home. I would have been thrown out if Sauron arrived. 90% of the box was packaging material and 10% was taken up by a PS Vita and Gravity Rush.

Two things I already don't like about the Vita:

1. It doesn't come with a protective cover. The PSP came with a lovely protective cover that was very much needed. My Vita is in serious danger of scrathed screen.

2. The packaged game NFS Most Wanted is just a download code. Kind of annoying because I wanted to use my US account to play my PSP games. Oh well I'll be on the look out for another memory card then. I hope San Disk can churn them out soon.

good man, add me if you want. pdbhp as usual.
download Frobisher says it's a funny little collection of mini games. think warioware meets simonsays but for free.

there are many design issues with the vita but that aside it really is an amazing little console.

gravity rush is pretty cool alright gonna give it the attention it deserves tonight cos i've been playing need for speed constantly. it really is that good.

Soul edge? Savage. Is it the B version?

This boards are easy to pick up and cheap. I've been resisting one myself for ages now.

Don't know how much longer I can hold out.
Same goes for tekken 2.

Its version 2 board, to be honest I only wanted a Jamma board to test a supergun I'm working on so wasn't too fussy but its actually decent enough in the limited testing I've done.
