Stopped by The Rage on the way home last night after seeing another one of their €2 sales on their Facebook page. Picked up Ready 2 Rumble boxing and Chu Chu Rocket for €2 each. Couldn't resist picking up House of the Dead 2 while I was there. Forgot how amazing the voice acting in that game is, ha.

Atavan-Halen · 29-04-2015 11:03am

Chu chu rocket is great craic, especially
In multiplayer.

Some more import 360 shmup fun arrived through the letterbox this morning.

Not a brand new thing but my Vectrex is now minty fresh thanks to the sound/io chip replacement by Bandit.
Thanks man!
A quick spot of Rockaroids, an Asteroids clone, was just what the Dr ordered, perfect!

Rockaroid does indeed rock! I also love that tour de france biking game which name escapes me, great fun!

Pfft! Tour De France! Real gamers play KELLOGGS TOUR 1988 ON THE C64!*

* I owned this back in the day. I bought it after I found £1 on the floor while waiting for a bus home. I'd seen it in a bargain bin in Boots when I was playing F-Zero on a SNES demo station. I went back up and bought it. True story.

It's an excellent game as it happens (genuinely). I can't find any videos of it online ANYWHERE. Can anyone help? I'd love to see this game again, it's really brilliant.

Doge · 29-04-2015 11:31pm

You should record your own vid if no other exists! The game is up on gamebase64.

Dr Bob · 30-04-2015 4:26pm

Got the retro style USB controllers , actually quite well built , considering they were bought from ebay china

Which in turn means the retro raspberry pi rebuild console number 2 is nearly finished :Megadrive1

Theres 6 usb ports, network port , HDMI ,3.5 mm audio via the original audio out and composite video.I need to hook up the original controller ports ,usb pads for the moment though.
Its working in HDMI but heres it over composite (no rgb yet , sorry )

Have a few more Pi's and a PI 2 as of yesterday so a few more projects to go:)

Myrddin · 30-04-2015 4:50pm

Looking good Bob. Have you any links to those controllers, they'd be ideal for my bartop

Dr Bob · 30-04-2015 11:53pm

I got em off ebay as just nes usb sega usb controller etc...the sega ones are retrolink branded and feel really well made ..the nes and snes are almost as good.

CiDeRmAn · 02-05-2015 11:06pm

Picked up Motorstorm Arctic Edge today for the PS2.
I never picked it up at launch as I couldn't in all good conscience spend full game money on a PS2 game in 2009, got it 6 years later for €4 in CEX.
In the interim I have played it on the PSP and it's surprisingly good, so looking forward to trying the home console translation.

eddhorse · 03-05-2015 10:47am

Thought that one was on PS3.

No, PSP and PS2 only.
Its got less tracks than the PS3 titles but it is one good looking game with broad tracks with many paths, very impressive indeed.
And a good purchase for a mere €4

o1s1n · 04-05-2015 7:54pm

Just ordered a fresh new LS32 with a white balltop. Going to turn the Aero CP into this (pretty much have everything I need apart from one white balltop!)

Really looks super slick.

Have gotten pretty lucky lately with charity shops/markets, latest haul includes;

- Original Xbox complete in box w/ bunch of 4/5 'meh' games
- Red DS Lite (Hinge gone)
- Turquoise DS Lite (Mint Cond w/charger)
- Harvest Moon - Leaf Valley x2 SEALED
- Smash Bro Melee CIB
- Mario Kart Double Dash Box w/ Mario Party disc inside

So obviously this means theres gonna be a dry spell of finding nothing for months now:P

On another note,

1) Never had an xbox, any game recommendations to get me going?
2) Ditto with the DS.
3) Replacement casing for the DS, anyone changed one? Linky to a decent seller with decent quality if so please???

The DS Lite casing is doable but be prepared to swear a lot!
Use a bit of tape to keep the shoulder buttons in place when reassembling.
Trust me!

Xboxwise I'd go for Gotham Racing, Knights of the Old Republic, Republic Commando, Strangers Wrath, Amped, Steel Battalion, Rallisport Challenge and the Halo games.

BGOllie · 04-05-2015 11:07pm

had some more cool finds this weekend. €18 overall . especially happy to have found Syberia. I've been looking for a copy for ages!

Atavan-Halen · 04-05-2015 11:12pm

Shenmue 2 and Jade Empire are also worth a shot on the original xbox.

johnny_ultimate · 04-05-2015 11:44pm

I couldn't play Shenmue 2 on the Xbox. The voice acting is just too appalling. The original language track is sorely missed.

Yeah but it has better water effects :pac:

Speaking of Sega, panzer dragoon orta is also another one to check out as well as jet set radio future.

Corholio · 05-05-2015 2:55pm

One of those finds you're glad you got up early for. All of this found at a car boot sale here in Cork (Blarney). The lot for a ridiculous €20.

I was literally there to see that transaction go down. Gutted I missed it by seconds but glad to see them go to a collector not a reseller.

05-05-2015 7:52pm

So I picked that tmolding up earlier.
I thought a little bit strange it was in a box in a plastic bag.
took the bag off and was greeted by this.

Yep the corner was soaked through with blood!And it was a big box:eek:
WTF!

CiDeRmAn · 05-05-2015 10:39pm

Fragile Dreams for the Wii incoming, one of the handful of Wii games I'm lacking.
After this it's just Excitebots from the states and that's it I think.
No Escape from Bug Island though!

I haven't Fragile Dreams either, the soundtrack is amazing, that's how I found Aoi Teshima (who has some amazing English covers as well as her original Japanese stuff of course).
Escape from Bug Island is gonna be a classic someday, you should pick it up asap :P (those notes were hilarious!)

BGOllie · 06-05-2015 1:35pm

I got these from a lady on a french buy and sell type site. games were marked as "good condition" etc ... and I got a very good price for the lot (ie the price of just one of them on ebay). they arrived today and turns out they're also factory freakin sealed!
I'm not sure if I'm delighted or disappointed I can't open them

(although I've Qbert and Nemesis3 loose already )

Now that's what you call Sexy Fever Premium!

Got a bit of a bargain on eBay of all places. Wind Waker plus the bonus disc for Gamecube for €18. Paid €6 delivery but still happy enough with that.

Great find anything lower than 30 for that is good in my books

If Steve ever makes a similar announcement you just know it's going to be twins, congratulations on the new arrival. Less tinkering and more nappy changing, that will keep you out of trouble for a while.

The Last Bandit · 07-05-2015 11:30pm

Exhausted already.. I'm too old for this lark. On the plus side those tiny fingers will be great at soldering SMD stuff

Congrats! A new master soldering craftsman to pick up your legacy eh?
