    Got my delivers today, nothing really retro all new stuff from playasia. Also I boneheadedly bought the 360 version of FF13-3 instead of the PS3 version. Fecking thing is region locked to the us as well. Ballox.

    Anyway got a snes Everdrive and spent the morning putting every fan translated game on it. Also got a Famicom Everdrive but the famicom is in Sligo.

    FedEx also called with a Bita TV from playasia. Nice bit of kit but I'm more interested in messing with the Everdrive!

    And jokes like this are why you are going to wind up against a wall and shot when the revolution comes.
    Or, as the Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy remarks, in a copy that fell through a wormhole from the future some 50 years hence,
    And jokes like that are why you wound up against a wall and shot, when the revolution came.

    On a brighter note
    I picked up the CRT from Urban and very nice it is too!
    Thanks
    Now to get it up those stairs!

    I then called into CEX in the Square and picked up a few bits

    Band Hero and Pac N Roll for the DS
    Mega Race 3 and Energy Airforce Aim Strike for the PS2
    and
    The Gradius Collection for the PSP.
    The last one is a nice find, it has Gradius' 1 to 4 as well as Gradius Gaiden.
    While I have arcade ports of Gradius 3 and 4 for the PS2, as well as Gradius Gaiden for the PS, I don't have arcade ports of Gradius and Gradius 2, though I have the Famicom versions.

    A little something picked up today, Contact for the DS.
    Another Grasshopper game for the collection.
    I also saw a copy of No More Heroes for the PS3 new for 14.99, must go back and pick it up, supposed to be a very nice enhanced port of the Wii original.

    I'd be interested to read your thoughts on it, I've seen it compared to Earthbound a lot.

    I played a bit of it, it's really cute, breaks the 4th wall at the very start. I'm not sure about comparing it to EB, definitely not for gameplay imo but the quirkyness maybe?

    Cidonalad already has had his interest piqued in it, but I am being mean and looking for some of his other games to be finished first!

    Do as I say not as I do eh! :P

    Have that Contact game sitting in a drawer somewhere. Didn't think it got great reviews, nowhere on a par with Earthbound anyway I think.

    Did you get Sega Rally with that in the pack, like my copy?
    I think it's the only way it was sold.
    Gradius is lovely, keep your eyes out for Gradius II and Salamander.

    I love seeing games with old HMV or Golden Discs stickers on the cases - great ammunition when you see another thread complaining about the price of games these days :p

    I can recall the delight felt when Sony introduced the platinum range, new games for only twenty pounds!

    Yeah! That really was a money saver, pretty much two games for the price of one.

    First PS1 games I bought were a platinum Destruction Derby and Air Combat.

    I bought them already at launch and had played them to death.
    There was a while when I had played every game on the format, as a result of being allowed to take games home to play for a couple of nights when I worked in Gamesworld in my spare time.
    Air Combat I read about in the short lived Maximum magazine and they loved it but said the game really opened up played on hard, which I did and it was fantastic.
    Destruction Derby felt like a bit of a tech demo but did it's job well, single minded in its goal of smashing cars together. No feature creep here!
    I think I prefer it to the sequel tbh.

    Has The R.A.G.E increased their prices lately ?
    They were already onthe high end of the spectrum but I was there again yesterday and it looked like some games had a €15 increase :eek:
