Will she be making an appearance on sunday?!

Jack burton · 24-02-2015 11:41pm

Yeah no good gophers alright! Basically a caddyshack themed Machine.

Sadly wont be there on Sunday but It will be at a league Meet this year!

CathalDublin · 25-02-2015 9:29am

Looks cool, and it's got a spinner on the playfield like the whirlwind

Jack burton · 25-02-2015 10:45am

Yeah has a spinner. Pat lawlor must be a fan of them

Working the next few days so I'll put up some more pics when I get it back up on its legs and set up. Still Has the licence disc on it from 98/99

This is actually from an arcade in Tramore and I used to play it and Theatre of Magic out there the whole time. Now I own them both! Thanks to Mitch for holding onto it for me :P!

The Gameboy Color that I bought on ebay came this morning. It's in great shape and cost me a grand total of €13.50

Great price, somebody told me the rage are looking for 30 euro for loose Pokemon carts with a new battery fitted.

Yeah, they have them listed on their website. €30 for Red, Blue, Silver and Gold and I think it's €33 for Yellow and €35 for Crystal.

Retr0gamer · 25-02-2015 1:56pm

Especially when they will more than likely sell you a bootleg.

Yes, in fact they sold me a Super GnG GBA bootleg before. Only bootleg I ever got stung with.

CiDeRmAn · 25-02-2015 3:20pm

The new device in my life seems to be a bit patchy on what it'll read.
There's a few NES and GB carts that refuse to be read.
Others work fine so some cleaning to be done.

I never thought his ban was lifted. He had a valid point iirc, they just didn't like hearing it.

Retr0gamer · 25-02-2015 4:25pm

Yeah I was just recommending RGB cables to someone not happy with composite video quality.

Ciderman you sure it's not just bad emulation meaning those games won't run? Pretty sure it still have problems with some games that use extra chips like Castlevania 3.

No, don't think so.
It was a copy of Donkey Kong Classic and Lifeforce for the NES, as well as Tetris DX and RType DX for the GBC, everything else was working, like a Jap copy of Kirbys Fun Pak for the Snes.

Here's Castlevania 3 on the Retron 5 for example

Tomo.Murphy · 25-02-2015 5:53pm

I have seen a couple of fakes in there. I saw two copies of Castlevania Aria of Sorrow recently enough. €20ish euro each. They stood out when I was going through the carts. The label art was stretched beyond recognition.

Watching a few YouTube videos about them would save them a small fortune.

Edit: something else I noticed the last time I was in there. I picked up Sonic Adventure 2 for €12.95 a few months ago in there. It's now somewhere around the €45 mark.

The Last Bandit · 26-02-2015 10:16am

After years of searching I finally got my hands on one of these (paid stupid money for it as well). You'd need to of a certain vintage and have owned an Amstrad to appreciate it

CiDeRmAn · 26-02-2015 10:21am

I remember Romantic Robot alright,
They used to have little black and white ads in the gaming press of the time, selling games and peripherals like that.
They were a ZX specialist in the main, weren't they, although must have been more of a Z80 specialist when they made CPC devices too.
Well done there.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiface#Multiface_Two

The Last Bandit · 26-02-2015 10:25am

Ya they started doing ZX stuff alright, the first Multiface was for the Spectrum. Great hacking/'backup' tool.

Remember seeing all the Multiface cheat codes for games in the various mags but could never enter them until now, maybe I finally get to finish Highway Encounter !!

BGOllie · 26-02-2015 12:38pm

on a roll these days

Kings Valley 2 for MSX2

[edit]
Here's the game in action (not my video)

STG.Otaku · 26-02-2015 1:31pm

I'm disappointed with the photo. It's not sexy (or premium) enough.

Or were you saving that for the other thread?

Well, that's my appetite gone till this evening....

Also, before selling on any games/consoles, be sure to give them a wipe!

actually, I don't buy that. It's plenty sexy. It's got some Japanese, some Japanese style cartoon, the MSX2 logo, a keyboard, the SCC chip logo and the old Konami logo
...AND a boomerang.

damn that's sexy!!

STG.Otaku · 26-02-2015 4:00pm

As Paul Newman out of The Hustler would say...

POW! INSTANT PREMIUM FEVER!

BGOllie · 26-02-2015 4:05pm

yeah but these babies are fake ; fun for a while but ... you can't beat the feel of original & natural goods ...

giggity!

CosmicSmash · 26-02-2015 6:01pm

I wouldn't touch reproductions with a barge pole myself.

STG.Otaku · 26-02-2015 6:55pm

Aleste Gaiden is an exception though. It was never released as a cart. It was part of a Disk Station compilation.

http://www.illusionware.it/msx/aleste%20gaiden.htm

Sort of similar-ish but actually not really at all similar to stuff like this:

I didn't know that. I meant more along the lines of this. It's the thought of people trying to pass them off as the real thing when selling them.

Corholio · 26-02-2015 8:13pm

Tracked these down lately. R-Type III and Knights of the Round are both complete, which for either is tough enough to find. Boxes are bit tatty round the edges, but mostly in decent condition.

Absolutely. Don't agree with that at all. With the Aleste Gaiden repro it's kind of good in a way because the Disk Station volume is hard enough to find in it's own right. Deserved an MSX cart.

For Extra Fever...

Pocky and Rocky, I love that game. Picked it up a while ago in a trade for some neo geo pocket stuff, have the two of them now on sfc. That's a real nice bundle.

Very cool game alright. I actually had Pocky and Rocky on PAL when I was younger, sold it for not that much to save up for N64. Could nearly buy a PS4 with the money I'd get for it alone now

Wood · 27-02-2015 4:18pm

Just realised I spent far too much money on Vampires Kiss. Drunken ebay is not fun.

Thank god i didn't go for CIB

CathalDublin · 27-02-2015 5:56pm

Paypal should introduce a little drunk test when you are buying stuff online at obscure hours.

eddhorse · 28-02-2015 8:14pm

Found this for my filthy VIC20, just need a power supply.

Do C64 power supplies work with them?

Knights of the Round is amazing. It will always remind me of throwing money at it with my cousin playing for hours and eating greasy chips. Summer 1995, damn that's fecking ages ago.

Doge · 01-03-2015 7:39pm

LongZ i think you should start firing up these videos in this thread, its nice to see a GET video for a change rather than just pics.

CiDeRmAn · 02-03-2015 2:26pm

I was in the CEX shop today and picked up this little gem,
tZjshL1.jpg?1s

Only six euro as well, happy days.
I do love me some R-Type, whatever the format, and I have most of them although I have never tried this turn based variant.

Sadly Star Ocean for the PS2 is long gone, should've picked it up when I spotted it a couple of weeks ago!

Atavan-Halen · 04-03-2015 5:53pm

This is only 38.99 in Argos at the mo so got myself a copy.

CiDeRmAn · 04-03-2015 7:32pm

The whole business with Amazon and the feck up with the preorder price.
But it's an amazing package at full price, at less than €40 it's brilliant value.

Firefox11 · 05-03-2015 5:36pm

Got some racing games on the Saturn the other day. Must try out the Manx TT sheep mode now.:D

CiDeRmAn · 05-03-2015 5:46pm

Manx TT is very good, though compares poorly to the arcade version tbh
Plus, by that stage, the Playstation really had the racing genre covered.
I think Sega Rally was the zenith of Saturn racing games.
It slipped after that with the aforementioned bike racer and the awful Sega Touring Car.
Virtua Racing on the format isn't terribly but it pales before the 32X version. The PS2 version is pretty great too.

05-03-2015 6:03pm

On a related note, I received a Rally Bike/Dash Yarou pcb today!!
