    Awesome get. I remember fondly playing White Water. Top table!

    Personal all-time faves for me though are Doctor Dude, BTTF, The Getaway, TCFTBL and Tron Legacy (for the miraculous time it showed up in Liffey Valley shopping centre for 5 minutes). I'd love to try AC/DC and the other one, was it Metallica or Iron Maiden they made?

    Doctor Dude though is something else. Loved that one. :)

    Whoever purchased that got one incredible pinball table. Such a good game. :)

    That particular version looks a bit nicer than the grey plastic mess Retr0 has :pac:

    I had great times with a VCR!
    I can't say the same about the waste of resources that is the CDi!

    It's just so bad.
    I considered buying it myself but a brief period of reflection resulted in common sense prevailing.
    Pity I didn't have access to this when I bought the PS Move :(

    Yeah it's a much better quality version than mine. Mine only supports composite, that one should support RGB. Also it probably has a much better CD Drive, the one I have was broken when I got it and has the same CD drive as the infamously bad Jaguar CD drive. Luckily it's not too tough to replace with a mcuh better model drive.

    The 450 model I have was a dirt cheap version that Phillips brought out around 93-94 I think to desperately compete with the consoles on the market at the time.

    I got a Pokewalker yesterday, so my boy now has a complete copy of Soul Silver.
    Better look after it, that game is worth a few bob!

    It does though! It even makes pictures taken of it look rubbish. :pac:

    Actually I was going to mention your N64 DD also reminded me of something but couldn't remember what - maybe a pokemon or animal of some sort. All I see is a smiley face looking at me. :P

    Not arcade but definitely retro !! Had these given to me today, sometime its good to be the guy "who collects old crap" :)

    Scope is over 40 years old and still works pretty good !! Multimeters also in good shape.

    I got my Sega Megadrive book from Kickstarter today. First impressions, it would lift up the C64 Book, eat it, spit it out and walk all over it. Its a million times better and how these books should be done. well designed, Big, great content and Hard back.

    Excellent! Delighted to hear the quality is up there. Must pop around to the folks and see if my one arrived.

    Walked around to Parcel Motel this evening to pick up the Time Crisis 2 pedal/gun and the silent scope gun.

    That was one long walk home :eek:

    Thought the Time Crisis stuff would be big and heavy but wasn't expecting what I got. The box it came in was literally the exact same size as the locker. It fit with mm to spare in every direction.
