    Few bits arrived last week, seriously thinking about picking up one of the original gba with the new screen fitted.

    No such thing as a DVD case back in the Saturn era. Definitely not the original packaging, pretty sure Darius Gaiden came in a standard saturn box.

    Did you get sold that Darius Gaiden as complete in box?

    That definitely not a real Saturn box alright.

    There were some DVD height plastic game cases, but I recall EA games that had them.
    But I own Darius Gaiden and it is in a proper Saturn case, plastic and card arrangement.

    Well I bought it from Retropolis in Adverts, It did cost me only €15 euro and I think I now know the reason why!!

    No mention of complete in box in the ad though. I'm not exactly a collector, so I didn't realise it might not be the real deal.

    It looks like it was a rental copy from a store. See them kinda of items a lot with US SNES stuff from America.

    Hey,

    Hygro with games with the manuals we put the manual in the picture and we stated on the advert that it was a custom DVD case.

    Regards
    Retropolis.

    A couple of bits of GET! gathered over the last week.

    The rather rare Continue Mega Drive Taizen book and toy box set. I have the extra companion book to this (not pictured), also from Continue books, to complete the set.

    Had a quick thumb through it and it is utterly magnificent. It's basically an encylopedia of the entire Mega Drive library plus interviews, artwork, timelines etc, all in full colour with a sexual sleeve. :)

    A Roland MT-32, boxed and complete. In excellent nick. This will be great once hooked up to a dedicated Pi running XM6 Pro!

    A PlayStation. I have two already so this is my third. One I already have is chipped, so is this one...

    But my others don't have this... :)

    Got that Sega trio thingy in the post. The following picture says more than any words could :eek:

    How many Amps can that bad boy put out?


    And to top it all off, it's silent! Those three Sega PSUs gave off such a hum I'd say they could hear it in next door.

    I was planning to use it with XM6 and instead of running MT-32 emulation, I'd use the actual hardware. Plus that way I can record directly to DAW etc and save OST's from there. Super handy if any games feature a sound test!

    Thanks a mill to OwaynOTT for picking this up to me & passing it along, much appreciated dude

    The Zelda love continues today, with these two filling a very important void in my Zelda collection. I've never played even a few mins of these, so looking forward to them.

    A very grave wrong has been corrected today. This has been missing from the collection for a very long time. And although I'd be a pretty huge Zelda fan, I've yet to really bother with game beyond the first hour or so. I can't wait! Cart picture isn't great because of the holo-label on the cart itself.

    I'm really looking forward to it, I've been watching some non-spoilery reviews of it, it's so different to the established Zelda formula!

    It has a lot the same, but the general ideas and themes that form the core of the game structure are turned entirely on their heads. It was a massive step in the right direction for the series in my opinion, and I hope with every new one that comes out that it's a bit more like MM, thematically or structurally, or just a similar departure from the norm.

    The games rarely disappoint, but I'm always a little disappointed that they tend to stick to the old reliable structure.

    Recent changes as with Link Between Worlds were excellent, but it did still rely on the old template a little too much.

    Yeah they can be pricey, & condition can be a factor. I didn't mind splashing a tad on these as the condition is very good.

    Yeah they look great there. Condition is always a factor when your looking at cardboard nintendo titles.

    Definitely, I'll wait until this current spending splurge is finished (which it more or less is) & order up what's needed :)

    Haha, I'm not bothered about it really, just trying to decide if I want to keep a sealed copy of it or swap it for something else, but I cant think of anything i want or need at the moment, except, maybe, a PS4..... :pac:
