    Oh right I've watched The Gaming Historian. His videos have excellent production values but I find them a little dry.

    My favourites are probably Lazy Game Reviews, Generation 16 and Kim Justice.

    I was starting to get a little bored of Classic Game Room but his reviews have improved a lot in the last month or so. Now that he's crowdfunded I think he's just covering what he's interested in reviewing himself rather than what would garner the most views.

    If anyone remembers or saw even my photo of my penguin plushes in the Something New thread. Anyway - someone on MSX.org is trying to get some of own and contacted a seller, he's currently doing them for 35€/pcs from AniPopGam (AFAIK not including delivery by UPS) and is trying to do some kinda group order I think and hoping to get the price down a bit.
    You can contact that user through my Facebook page too.
    Might be no good but you never know who'd like these things.

    Saw this on Pat and Ian's podcast. I'm not into these consoles all that much and I know a good few here are but apparently some sort of PC Engine late 'prototype' of sorts turned up on eBay and it seems quite different.

    Triage Nurses aren't known for seeking relationships with people who fall in the door looking for a stomach pump, it's just not that kind of scene I'm afraid.

    I though getting your stomach pumped was a real turn on for the ladies. I've been doing it wrong all these years!

    Anyone find out how much Rage were selling their copy of Rule of Rose?

    Ebay prices seem a bit crazy for PAL at the moment... there's was NTSC though.

    We'll look back at this post and wince in a few years, as no doubt it'll continue to rise. Collecting games has taken a very difficult turn, prices have gotten to the point where you have to start asking yourself if it's worth it.

    NTSC version is apparently way rarer than the European release which got decent distribution on the continent. The US release was very limited. You usually find the EU version for reasonable prices on amazon fr and de or even ebay.de and fr

    We can blame pokemon for that. It was silly prices in Japan as well, about 150 boxed.

    It's gone crazy over the last few years, the last expensive game I bought was Harmful Park, that was a couple of years ago, it's now about one hundred euro more than it cost me.

    I managed to trade neo pocket games with a guy I met on fb, I haven't played the pocket stuff in years and he was looking to unload Saturn and SFC games. The rarer neo geo pocket games sell for silly money. I was happy with what I got and so was he. I don't think I ever posted what Saturn games the pocket stuff added to my collection, some nice titles. I'll have a look later and post some pictures.

    I thought I was finally going to own a copy but the plug was pulled before the reissue a while back.

    The animation vids on the front (and only so far) page look amazing

    It looks like a full version of "The Last night" very short flash game made in this universe. It's pretty quick and linear but the atmosphere is so blade runner it's not even funny

    I loved Fade to Black. There's an awful negative opinion of the game these days due to the late PS1 port. It has aged terribly and had done so by the time the PS1 game was released but at the time of release on PC the 3D environment was quite novel and it reviewed in the 90's.

    Never got my hands on that, but loved AW and Flashback. Must look out for it.
