That thing looks like a piece of crap...

Never played this, looks as obscure as 8bit gets in terms of playability

(Some NSFW language at times)

NSFW joke, but sweet video.

Screw these kids, I was mighty impressed with the Gameboy Advance over the weekend!

Not everyone will be a fan of the Toxic Avenger but this video is pretty cool and they are playing on an atomiswave

Another epic humorous intro from Vectrex Roli yet again, and he's a bit more hardcore this time!

An absolute legend!

The Jaguar was much better than the CDi, in that it had one essential game worth playing Tempest 2000, and a selection of not rubbish games, Raiden, Doom, and the rest were pure donkey p1ss.
The CDi on the otherhand was cursed with nothing, not a thing, worth turning it on for.
If you own one, and have spent time playing Burn Cycle or Zelda, thinking they were great (you spanner) just imagine how foolish you'll feel on your deathbed, all the positive uses you could have put that time to, in retrospect, like getting your back, sack and crack waxed or pretty much anything except playing that damn stupid machine!

Speaking of which there was a mint in the box Jaguar sold by the rage the other day for €200.

I desperately wanted to buy it purely for the rare crap factor... as I even commented to the afro dude behind the counter 'wow, that's the only actual rare thing in this shop!'.

He laughed off the comment though... he's not one of the staff that takes the place super serial.

I was rather jealous I have to say.

Apparently he was a collector and got word of it as soon as they got it in.

So... which one of you was it? :P

They told me on the phone they wouldn't take in a boxed Jag, as they can't sell them. At €200, I wouldn't wonder why.

There are a few newer guys in the shop these days that seem to have their wits about them as opposed to the totalitarian blokes they had running the place for a while.

When I told the bloke why I got blocked from their FB page originally (a legit question regarding competition) he was shocked and said that it was ridiculous.

The same bloke (his name escapes me right now) knew that I was a Dreamcast collector from the last time I was in the place with waveform (or whatever the feck he calls himself now) and kept loads of DC stuff by for me.

I had a bit of an issue trying to use my all4one card in there so he was really nice about it, gave me a decent discount on Street Fighter II for SNES and threw in loads of free stuff...

Dreamcast DreamOn demos and he also gave me five white label Dreamcast games that they had gotten in but couldn't technically resell.

One of them is a rare enough Beta copy of... I think it was Fighting Vipers.

Rare as in hard to find and not rare as in impossible to find and costs loads of money.

It was nice of him to do anyway... I'm starting to warm to the place again.

They also seem a lot more open to haggling these days than they used to be... which is nice!

Myrddin · 11-08-2014 10:32AM

^ sounds like some new staff that actually have an idea about incentivising custom alright.

Steve X2 · 11-08-2014 10:41AM

I dunno, the douche levels always seem way too high in that place when I go in and I usually leave. Perhaps the douche is just something that follows me

After 5pm on a weekday seems to be the time to head in... at least for me. That's when I seem to have the best conversations with staff and get talking to people who actually know what they're on about. The experiences I've had in there recently have lead me to want to shop in there more often to be fair.

Their prices on some stuff is still silly but when you take into account that you can pay an extra fiver or so to buy something there and then as opposed to waiting for postage... sometimes it's not so bad.

Besides as I said they seem a lot more open to the whole 'bundle loads of stuff together then haggle for a decent price' thing than they used to be.

Jebus, I don't want to talk to them :eek:

MrVestek · 11-08-2014 02:09PM

So according to their FB page the bloke I was talking to that works there on Thursday got knocked off his bike on the Friday and is in pretty rough shape in the hospital...

...jesus christ!

Myrddin · 18-08-2014 09:40PM

These are good...you can see more so in the second one how infuriatingly difficult the game is!

I love Tuesdays on Youtube, for some reason when I go home in the evenings and check My subscriptions there's been a load of new retro and current gen gaming uploaded.
