    OK time to post my Japan haul. Haven't removed the price from most games so you can see how much of a mad bastard I was. Sauron saw me taking all this from my suitcase, she said it was disgraceful. I have to agree with her.

    Space Manbow, Nemesis 1, 2 and 3 and a MSX joypad. (no MSX 2 :'( )

    Sin and Punishment, Kirby 64
    Rhythm Tengoku, Ghost Sweeper Mikami, Sparkster, Megaman X3

    Might you need a boxed JAP N64 with a RGB amp + RGB/SCART cable for your new JAP N64 cart haul? :) I might know of one for sale/trade :D

    Droooools ....

    The question is, what will you play first?

    I also pity the next "New Get" that has to follow that.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Let's hope, for Retr0s sake, that the Retron 6 has an MSX2 turbo cart slot!

    Wellmost had to be left in Sauron's if anyone wants to rob the house. I brought 3 games with me but I really want to given Vania 3 and Gimmick a play next so I can hear the gorgeous music from the extra chips.

    great bargain on Cotton 100% there, you'd do well to get it cart only for that price off ebay.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen

    Let us know what its like, looks amazing though the PC version seems to have a fair few bugs, though they are being ironed out and its nothing like the list of faults in Drive Club.

    That's the expression the clerk in A Too had on his face when I said I wanted to buy it. In fairness it came in a lot cheaper than the usual ebay copy goes for :)

    I know it's barmy, but I love that film, saw it in the Lighthouse a few years ago and it was amazing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,599 ✭✭✭BGOllie


    loved LOVED the film and the 2 series made after. They were quite good. Got the DVDs still :)
    and the books... and the books his son wrote... I love DUNE.

    and lamps too


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


    Myself and my good lady are also big fans of Dune. Although I'm not that fond of the recent(ish) mini series.
    Been on the lookout for some screen used props over the last while actually.

    I assume you fans have seen Jodorowsky's Dune, thoughts??

    I can get you a bucket of sand used in the movie :)

    Not seen the mini-series loved the movie so might check it out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,599 ✭✭✭BGOllie


    haven't seen it. I wasn't even aware it had been made at all, i thought it was abandoned or sth . He admited himself not having read the books.
    saw a few docuvids on youtube but it looked like it was just a mishmash of different art styles, phalic symbols, ****-spitting machines and not at all respectful of the vision of the author.

    thought the first mini series was a good attempt and complemented the film in a way.

    If you could put a sticker on the side of the bucket and sign it as authentic Screen used Dune sand we have a deal :)

    It's just a documentary, he didn't get to make the movie. It's be interesting if he did :)

    I've read the reviews of the doc and it sounds like it could have been the definition of epic.
    Perhaps we'll see a new movie in the not too distant future, I'll have to go and play Dune 2 on the Megadrive now!

    Picked up an amstrad gx4000 today, with a handful of games, can't wait to go home, power it up and hopefully not be too disappointed! Will throw up some smexy pics in the morning

    I remember seeing one of these on sale way back in 1991! As a poor 1st year college student I could not afford one back then but managed to scrape enough money for a sega megadrive not long after.:)

    My kickstarter reward for that Amiga book arrived today. Pretty nice actually and signed by Phil Thornton and John Twiddy.

    Boxed Amstrad goodness!

    am1_zpsfdxuvulz.jpg

    We got power!!

    am2_zpstgwd6q0u.jpg

    We got games!!!

    am3_zpslhwsrl4f.jpg

    Yay, it works

    am5_zpspsaicsc4.jpg

    Well Burnin' Rubber, the pack in game, ain't great to start with. Maybe No Exit is better?

    am6_zpscblfzugr.jpg

    Well that didn't last long. A very very poor man's fighting game. Maybe Barbarian II will be as good as I remember on the aul c64 way back when

    am7_zpsxjdvqfhx.jpg

    am8_zps8jwflgoa.jpg

    Feck! I can't turn round! Will have to find the manual online and learn the moves again, I fancy some head chopping so will come back to this. Decent port. Now for Switchblade!

    am10_zpsqypsv2wy.jpg

    am11_zps32epydrq.jpg

    Ooh! Pointless storyline!!

    am12_zpslimugrrk.jpg

    am13_zpsr73mzna7.jpg

    Jakers!! Okay ya got me, this is gonna be good! Let's go kick some butt Hiro!!

    am14_zpsqo6dablj.jpg

    Meh, poor generic platformer :( It took me a good few minutes to realise this wasn't a dead end, you have to walk left STRAIGHT THROUGH THE WALL??!! Who even does that??!!

    am15_zpso7w35ewr.jpg

    Gah!! Another dead end!!

    Ah in fairness it's a niche console, I think I'll get a bit of enjoyment out of Barbarian II and Switchblade when I get into them, gonna keep my eye out for a copy of Pang too.

    Oblig picture of where the magic happens!!

    Check out the CPCWiki forum, a flash cartridge has just been released for the GX4000 and CPC+ range with plenty of original Amstrad CPC games being converted to cartridge format.

    Finally ordered, I think, the final two rgb cables for the collection, a Saturn one and one for the Sega CDX, the latter simply being a MD2 rgb cable.
    Also ordered Sonic Wings for the PS2, a nice collection with all sorts of extras.

    Seems they can convert games released on disks to cart/ROMs, list here.
    I'd think I'd like a 6128plus, fear of getting a good game to find out it needed a keyboard input :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    None of the old CPC 464 tape games would work then? :(

    The vast majority of them were also available on disk. Non multiload tape games are convertible as well I think.
