Dublin some weekend asking people questions from Shenmue to see what the reaction is. :-P

just make sure you're not on George's Street if you ask someone if they want a game of Lucky Hit. they might take it to mean something very different.

My favourite avgn/pat video is the nintendo world championships one, brilliant! Link for anyone who might not have seen it

I believe Ridge Racer sucks donkey balls though, pity...

Of course it does, its not RR1/2 after all :P 'Grats though on the Vita, going to pick one up at some stage myself...though I kinda want a 3DS XL too.

When you say RR2, are you referring to the arcade only game or Ridge Racer Revolution, easter egg tastic that latter one.

Ridge Racer 1 & 2, as in the arcade games {basically the same as each other too}. I never enjoyed any other in the series tbh, they just seem bland & generic whereas the original 1 & 2 had a certain charm to them

Wasn't the big difference the addition of ar a view mirror?

Yeah as I mentioned, they're essentially the same game. I think the soundtrack got touched up for 2 aswell.

There was little to beat gazing in the window of Mr Calculator at Ridge Racer playing on the imported PS.

Again, call me a heathen, but the PS1 port is fairly poo compared to the arcade version. The System 22 board, though similar enough to the PS1, is able to push a lot more numbers about. The results are a much less smooth game on the PS1

That reminds me, emulate a system 22 board on my TV then try ridge racer with my racing seat.

Thanks EnterNow!

Viva Nonno ftw Not sure how System 22 emulation is in Mame these days, but Viva Nonno had it pretty much nailed & well optimised {no dount inaccurate emulation but very playable}

Actually I'd probably try it in PSXMame, although I'm not sure there's a Linux version of it.

It's a nice Mame app that uses ePSXe plugins in order to emulate boards based on the PSOne.

It emulates Tekken 3 / Tekken Tag rather well in my experience.

Your choosing to emulate the PS1 version over the arcade original?

I received these this morning:



Thunder Force III, Thunder Force IV
Both Japanese. Both in good nick. Both brilliant games. TecnoSoft forever!






VV / V.Five / Grind Stormer Soundtrack
An unexpected surprise. No, I realised I bought it, what I didn't realise was the little goody inside. The disc is mint and comes with the usual refinements, spine card, reg card and so on. But it's the other little details that make this one so nice.

The booklet, although B&W throughout inside, comes with lots of information about the game and the people who made the soundtrack. It also has printed score sheets so you can play along! Best of all though is the mini toresetsu packed inside the booklet. It's double sided and is just like it's arcade sibling! Oh and the cover art is reversible so you can swap it round if you want.

I think it's a great little package.






Robbit Mon Dieu aka Jumping Flash 3 TGS '99 Special Version
Nothing outlandish about this 'special version' of Jumping Flash 3. It's just a demo disc from the Tokyo Game Show 1999. Nice collector piece though I think for a fun game. Love the first two games too.
