    went to another charity shop I hadn't been in over a year and... found this... :O ... for €2 ... in 2018 .

    This has been on the list a few years now but was always out of stock whenever I looked. The Rage got a few, price is more or less the same as what you'd pay with shipping from Data Records themselves. Although if you were getting 2-3 I imagine the shipping would work out better from the UK.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,242 ✭✭✭MrVestek


    It's back in Stock actually!

    https://data-discs.com/products/shinobi3

    You can also get Data Discs delivered to Parcel Motel to cut down on shipping costs... as their default shipping to Ireland is a tad excessive.

    Just ordered the Space Harrier soundtrack myself as I've been playing a fair bit of it in the Shenmue re-release... and the music is awesome!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,287 ✭✭✭DaveyDave


    Yeah I saw they were back in stock. Didn't think about getting it shipped over though. They're fairly pricey so would have only got the one anyway. Sure my parking was free today so it worked out grand :P

    I'd like OutRun but only because it looks cool, I prefer the soundtrack on OutRun 2. I might get Streets of Rage, although I much prefer SoR2. Super Hang On would have been nice but sold out. They're certainly nice additions to the game room, admittedly I won't be playing them :(

    I see a lot of praise for the soundtrack for Shenmue but haven't really noticed it. Must give it a listen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,242 ✭✭✭MrVestek


    I have a bunch of them myself already. Sonic Mania, Shenmue, OutRun 2 (the interchangeable covers on the special edition are pretty nice), Streets of Rage 1 & 2 & The Revenge of Shinobi.

    I love putting the little posters you get with them in Vinyl shaped frames too.

    If you're a Sonic the Hedgehog fan there's also a crowd that are doing the Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 soundtracks on Vinyl also. Have those too!

    You'll have to be the designated DJ at the next beers, vinyl set too so no purists can criticize your choice of media.

    Here's the setup too for anyone that cares about vinyl.

    Everything on this unit is routing through my 5.1 surround sound system, including the USS Defiant shaped CD player.

    Datadiscs sent an email today about their next pre-order going up on Saturday for DATA017 POLICENAUTS.

    I've the full set so far of all limited edition 2 tone and can't stop collecting them now... wish I never started. datadiscs and amiibo :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,287 ✭✭✭DaveyDave


    Does anyone know if they restock often? I'd like to get SoR2 if it comes up again. The Rage said they'd be getting OutRun, it's sold out but I wonder if Data Discs are planning a restock soon?

    I see Shenmue and Shinobi were restocked in the beginning of July. I've followed them on Twitter anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,790 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    Policenauts double vinyl coming out this Saturday as well on data discs

    I've almost a full set. Missing 3 I think. Not all mine are the limited edition ones though.

    The whole game soundtrack on vinyl thing has really taken off. I've missed out on a lot of ones I would have liked to gotten. There's so many companies making them its hard to keep up with the all

    Yeah... I'd really like the Street Fighter 2 one that came out a few years ago but it goes for silly prices now.

    Sellers on Discogs want well over €130 for it for example.

    No thanks.

    Argh I don't have a single one of these but know the moment I buy one I'll have to have them all.

    And then I'll easily be able to justify having to buy a high end turntable for my hifi.

    Slippery slope!

    You could just do what I did... find some eejit on adverts.ie that's managed to damage their direct drive turntable and offer to buy it on the cheap.

    With replacement parts of whatever is broken it shouldn't set you back too much.

    With replacement parts, preamp and the actual unit myself I have a pretty decent setup not that cost me less than €50.

    Joooiiinnnn uuuuussssss....

    So... I know that's a quip and all but she actually is!

    The thing came mint in the box but they saw fit to leave batteries in them back in the day.

    The CD player was ruined to the point that the seller almost refused to sell it to me. I was convinced I could get her working though... and working I did.

    It still involved hours of me scrubbing the motherboard to get rid of the traces of rot that came from the batteries but it was worth it as she's working a treat now.

    So yeah... tough little ship! :P

    Called into RAGE and got some nice bits,
    Wip3out for the PS, the upgraded Japanese version.
    Star Control for the MD.
    Exhaust Heat 2 for the Super Famicom.
    Vampire Hunter for the Japanese Saturn.
    And XDR for the Japanese MD.
    All for €35.
    Not too shabby

    To be fair to The RAGE their pricing seems to have really improved over the last few years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,885 ✭✭✭Steve X2


    Few bits from this week.

    x2 MVS MV1FZ as I got a good deal on them. They need a good clean and Unibios install, but both work fine.

    New old stock controllers for Xbox and CDTV.

    I've also been making a few lithophanes for other people, so decided to make some gaming related ones for myself(normally I'll do regular photos).

    Doesnt look like much.

    But backlight them and its quite nice. This one is 200mm long.

    I'm sure we can sort something out. Takes about 10 hours to print a high quality one.

    Seller on Arcade Otaku had some. Think they are all sold out now.

    Didn't realise the watch style battery had to be removed on these. Is it prone to leaking?

    Couple of more arcade artwork lithophanes(both 200mm long).
    I like the Gravitar, but the Outrun needs work(SEGA logo and the colour transition on the car)

    Theyre CR2032's alright, have always been on my MVS boards. I don't remove them. Most of them actually still worked!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,725 ✭✭✭The Last Bandit


    They are rechargeable batteries and very prone to leaking unfortunately, the majority of dead MVS boards can be attributed to battery rot and SRAM failures I reckon.

    You can replace them with Cr2032 coin cells (with holders) but the recharge circuit needs to be disabled, useful guides here

    I think it's cool to see arcade games that aren't typical buttons or guns. Although I'm sure they're a pain for repairs considering how often regular shooters are broken at arcades. I recently learned that there was also a PS2 port of it in 2004 and a sequel based on HotD3 for PC only.

    There's also apparently 3 versions of the original game in Japan, TotD 2003 which has Master Mode and an online Expert Vs Mode and TotD 2004 which has a kid mode.

    And finally there's a Typing of the Dead Overkill. I recently tried Overkill for PS3 on PS Now, I didn't like it very much.

    My hands still twitch a little at the mere mention of Typing of the Dead. Fantastic (and very evil) game.

    Armored Core 2 has one of my favourite intros. Hard not to like the sound effects of the laser blade and overboost.

    I never really got into 4:FA or 5, had them both but never time to play them. Surprised there's no mention of one for current gen, I believe they said there's one in the works. Easy to see why they aren't focusing on it though with the success of their other games.
