The Revenge of the Post Here When You Get Something New thread

One thing I always meant to do was take the mechanism out of a crappy lightgun and put it into an airsoft gun instead.

It first came to mind when playing Crisis Zone on the ps2. Felt wrong playing it with a gCon when the arcade version has an mp5.

But yeah, I don't think it'd be too difficult to gut a cheapo airsoft gun, transplant in GCon innards and spray it blue.

The hardest part would probably be getting the light receiver lens working properly (as it would be a lot bigger than the muzzle of an airsoft gun)

Sounds like the making of a kickstarter project

Went into xtravision today and picked up 4 PS2 games. LOTS of shovelware there though to sift through but I got:

MGS Snake eater

I'm going to go on a MGS buzz some time after Zelda. Just have to buy the MGS game for the gamecube. I heard its an updated version of the first one both graphically and control wise so lookin forward to that as I never finished the first one on the PS1.

Worms 4

Think I played a worms game years ago found it fun. Cheap so said why not.

God of war 2

Havent played the god of war games so should be interesting. People seem to love them.

Psyvariar

Thanks to Dr Bobs post just before this one I picked this up. Would probably have passed it by otherwise as I'd never heard of it.

They were all 6 euro each but with 50% off so 3 euro each in reality.

Then I also picked up a GBA AC - DC power adapter for a euro. I dont even own a GBA but for a euro.. "alright".

Oh and a wii gun peripheral for another couple of quid. Just a plastic yolk to hold the wiimote.

Anyway all in all a decent auld way to spend my lunch time today.

Don't bother with the Gamecube version. It's vastly inferior to the PS1 original. The PS1 game is what you should be buying. The GC version is basically the PS1 game with the MGS2 engine. It's badly coded so there's lots of slowdown. Also since you now have first person aiming it totally breaks the game and makes it far too easy. On top of that they utterly destroyed the cutscenes by turning them into over the top nonsense, and that's over the top by MGS standards. On top of that it's quite expensive and not worth the money it goes for.

If you've not played MGS before then start with the PS1 original. It's still superb.

Fair enough looks like I'm on the look out for a copy of MGS for the original playstation so.

thanks retrogamer.

I have 2 at home alread and now 3 so I'll eventually get round to giving them a proper go.

My time playing games seems to decrease each week yet my buying seems to have heightened if anything!

Might be worth looking out for the legacy compilation for PS3 which has all the games in the series other than the Gameboy Colour games (pity because it's superb). It even has the MSX games as well.

Edit: Seems it only gives you a PSN code for MGS 1

It's also worth looking out for the VR Missions mission disc which I had a blast with. So much fun and the dev team went wild with what they can do with the MGS gameplay engine.

If I had a PS3 I would but Im a 360 guy. I couldnt justify having another console to be honest. I'm surprised the wife has let me have as many under the tv as there is. PS2, N64, 360 and Wii as of like last week or something. ****ing wires everywhere!! Need to spend a day sorting it all out actually.

Edit I know my little collection more likely pales hugely in comparison to set up you guys must have but to be perfectly honest I've more than enough to keep me occupied and interested in the small amount of collecting that I do.

:eek:

Holy crap dude! that's Amazing!

How the hell did you get that?! Artist is Mark Simpson (AKA 'Jock') by the way.

I remember renting that from Chartbusters back in the day. Fantastic game.

Wow, I'd completely forgotten about that game until now!
