always nice to get sealed games - but the question then is: do you open and play it?

got a game called Bubble & Squeek the other day for my MD - Sunsoft platformer - not heard of it before - but
nice to be able to add something to the MD collection which has been static for a while.

Also got a cheap copy of Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters for my PSP - actually paid for it with my gamestation credit on my elite card so it was free).Â Not played anything from this franchise before.Â

Taisen Tanto-R Sega ST-V cart (last game in the Mega Puzzle & Action series... 1998 JPN arcade game that never had a home release)

Great price.. Really need to look at another big purchase.. Maybe a Neo Geo of some sort.

Quote from: "zapiy"Great price.. Really need to look at another big purchase.. Maybe a Neo Geo of some sort.

The Neo Geo is an amazing system... not just for fighters but also some great exclusive puzzle games, shmups, arcade style sports, and other genres. If you decide to get one I'd definitely suggest an MVS (arcade) mobo, cheap supergun (Vogatek?), and maybe an MVS multicart to start out. All of the pieces are pretty cheap, esp. in the UK where you can run SCART RGB straight from the supergun.

AES (home console) games are overpriced collector's items and the library is a small subset of the MVS library. There's nothing that's AES exclusive so if you just want to play the games MVS is the best option.

Colony wars - PS1

I've been doing some emulating recently with Fusion 364 to check out games I haven't got or couldn't afford for the old Sega Consoles and I picked up 2 today for pretty good prices on Ebay for the Mega CD

Batman Returns
Soul Star

Laird will know all about Soul Star as he gave me a demo of it on the Jaguar! sadly that demo has never played for very long so I thought I'd try it out on Mega CD, luckily I found it for £20 on ebay and Batman Returns for about £14!

Anyone got any suggestions for Mega CD at all? I also thought it funny so thought I'd share that someone is listing T-Mek for 32x on ebay for a little under £3000 for PAL... holy WTF!! lol

Pro

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: dcultrapro on April 23, 2012, 15:46:33 PM

how is it different on the Jag? I've played both versions now and I must admit I can't remember any GLARINGLY massive differences? Other than the fact that the Jaguar one just decides to stop working when it likes lol

Yeah I'm sure the platforming sections won't be that great but hey, it looked alright on MCD lol

EDIT! I just looked up Soul Star footage from the Jag and they do look pretty much identical, just that the Jag has higher res graphics, the sprites are cleaner and perhaps made using a different technique than the standard sprites in the Mega CD version

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: dcultrapro on April 23, 2012, 16:34:02 PM

thats what I mean, like a hd makeover or update for a newer platform, would've been nice to see the finished product

More lucky than busy really. I'm just glad I decided to walk between client appointments instead of getting the bus otherwise I may well have missed out on them. Also very lucky that my friend was getting rid of such great stuff too.

Bought a mixed lot of Saturn & PC Engine imports. Some commons/duplicates, but I bought the lot to get:

Guardian Force - Saturn (shmup)
Haunted Casino - Saturn (poorly programmed casino gaming... with anime girls who undress as you win.

)
Genpai Toramaden - PC Engine (the sequel was released in the US as Samurai Ghost, but this first game was Japan exclusive)

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: dcultrapro on June 18, 2012, 15:10:54 PM

latest bits and my LAST bits I will be getting were 2 Mad Catz Dreamcast blue controllers that just arrived and 2 cheap 3rd party Mega Drive controllers are on the way. That's all I've got now and I'm ordering nothing else. I've purchased a couple pc games for my new machine but they don't really count I guess

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: dcultrapro on June 18, 2012, 15:46:39 PM

good plan... I've been naughty lately using my credit card but I can handle the repayments and I have nearly 2 years of no interest so I'm sweet, I've got a plan to pay it off though don't worry, Jen fell over at work a MONTH before the wedding and dislocated her shoulder, we are looking at hopefully getting some 8/9k or more of compensation, they have already admited responsibility so it should be long before we receive that, pay off all our debt and are even able to buy double glazing for our flat FINALLY! oh god I can't wait for that.... here I go sounding like a grown up again lol

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: dcultrapro on June 18, 2012, 16:11:15 PM

well the company we went with quoted a minimum of 8k and max of £12.5k and M+S have already admitted responsibility. Also I think it depends on the company. M+S are huge and have insurance to cover stuff like this, and a relative of my wife had a similar thing and they settled out of court with something like 20k! so with any luck our situation will turn out nicely. I'm a glass half full kind of guy lol

Who did you work with when your injury happened by the way?

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: dcultrapro on June 18, 2012, 16:43:52 PM

ouch, well I don't know exactly but I guess it will differ from situation to situation, I mean it depends how clear cut a case it is, jen has witnesses, doctors letter because her mum works at her surgery, the accident is in the log book etc did you milk it for all its worth? The amount of stuff the dislocation effected is immense... we can take it literally anywhere we want and apply it to any situation in terms of discomfort, inconvenience etc. big examples are:

Effected our wedding preparations
stopped jen from being able to work for 6 weeks
Jen is still unable to drive and cannot get to work the normal way so she is living at her folks place which is effecting our relationship
she couldn't dress herself at all for 6 weeks and still can't properly with assistanceÂ now
she cant shower or bath properly
can't sleep properly and had to sleep sitting up for 6 weeks, she still cannot sleep on her front or sides etc
can't cook
can't clean
it effected/ruined our honeymoon as she was unable to participate in any activities etc

I mean this is all situational and we will hold some back when they make an innitial offer etc and we can embellish significantly,Â but I'm pretty sure we will do pretty well. She's been with the company for 10+ years and so its all going to go in her favour, but time will tell I guess.

hope things get better for you mate on the subject!!

I'm eyeing up Double Dragon 2 on the NES at the moment, I have real fond memories of this. It's a great example of the developers realising the limits of the NES and doing their own thing rather than a straight port. Had a go on it a couple of years ago and was very pleasantly surprised by how good I still found it. Really want a box in good condition though.

QuoteI was playing that at Retrovision last month, I still regard it as the best game on the NES.

Pretty damn close to the top of my list, that's for sure. Really colourful graphics, early example of cinematic cut scenes and a nice variety of levels. The bit that always stuck out for me was the fight that took place inside the helicopter, seemed very unusual at the time.

We have somebody doing Intellivision reviews at the moment, I am looking forward to reading them.

I went to a retro shop last year that had a stack of boxed games and a system for sale, I was very tempted!

The system I just got has 14 games, so I have some to start with besides the DK2K.Â There are some Intellivision games that I'd also like to get since they are unique to the Intellivision.Â

yeah I got the dreamcast collection on 360 as well, frankly I'm not impressed, the Crazy Taxi port is poor without the offspring music, Sonic Adventure isn't too great either. I really hope they release JSR properly or they might as well give up right now

Yeah, i have to admit the games seem to have lost something in transition between the systems. I hate to say so but the most playable game on there is Sega Bass Fishing. lol

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: dcultrapro on July 04, 2012, 08:56:28 AM

yeah... see I haven't even tried Sega Bass Fishing on it because I assumed it would be dreadful lol. I love the REZ Port but that wasn't Sega I suppose, and Hydro Thunder Hurricane is another example of how the DC games CAN be ported... rather than the dodgy half arsed attempts from Sega. pretty disappointing. I don't think I want them to port Shenmue, SOA or PSO anymore because they will obviously just ruin them

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Console Compulsive on July 04, 2012, 09:49:26 AM

There have been plenty of whispers about a Shenmue port to the Xbox but hopefully Sega will realise that it is a well loved game and will put some effort into making it pretty & playable.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: dcultrapro on July 04, 2012, 10:03:52 AM

I'd actually rather they did something for Shenmue 3 like they did with Sonic the Hedgehog 4... minimize cost etc, make it viable as they can charge for it etc... Dreamcast level graphics would be perfect and I'd be happy, they don't have to up it to next gen quality if they are worried about cost

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Shadowrunner on July 05, 2012, 17:36:07 PM

Yeah it's an RPG. It came out right at the end of the 3DO's life and therefore they didn't make very many copies of it.Â The Japanese version is called sword and sorcery and is pretty common but the English version is very hard to find.
Funny thing is I found it on a small online retailers website in Canada very close to where I live. Last place in the world I expected to find it!Â

Bought a couple more Sega ST-V carts... Groove On Fight and Cotton Boomerang. Trying to limit my gaming budget, but saw these hidden in a vaguely worded auction and couldn't resist a 'low' bid.

Groove On Fight is supposed to be much better on ST-V than Saturn because it uses all of the arcade PCB's extra memory for character animation.

Lots of bootleg Cotton Boomerang carts around so I'm anxious to see whether this one is legit. If it's a legit cart it's worth $$$. But, I'd still be happy with a working bootleg for the price I paid.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: dcultrapro on August 23, 2012, 15:09:52 PM

ok so I know I said I wasn't going to buy anything more but when your getting deals as good as £1.99 you can't really turn em down can you?

So I was trying to put together a top 10 Master System games video and I realised I don't have my copy of Alien 3 anymore... must've been one of the ones I sold and never got back, so I got that for £1 or so, + P&P and I've also just bought both Afterburner and Galaxy Force on MS for £1.99 each! very cool

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: tomwaits on August 23, 2012, 16:46:47 PM

Quote from: "The Laird"I have nearly bought the Saturn version of Groove On Fight a few times, any good?

(sorry... just saw this)

Groove On Fight is a pretty strange fighting game. Freaky anime style character designs/backgrounds/music. It doesn't measure up to the Capcom/SNK 2D fighters on Saturn, but definitely a quirky and unique game.

It's like the Capcom vs series where you pick two characters and can switch at any time. But, the Saturn version only supports the 1MB memory expansion cart so they had to lose animation frames to keep 4 characters in memory at once.

Post office tracking says that my ST-V carts should arrive today. :D

EDIT: Package arrived today and my new Cotton Boomerang ST-V cart is legit.

If there are any others you need then let me know as I think I probably have more that are not in that folder.

For a lot of these you will need Nero Cover Designer to print them off in high res, the program is pretty easy to get hold of.

Not 100% retro but I just bought the Atari Collection for my new Nintendo DS, I needed something to play on the thing so figured a cart with over 50 classic Atari games on it would do the job!!!Â

The seller was in the US and actually had 4 in stock, which is why I thought I would wait. But then I found out that I have the money in my Paypal account and eBay are doing triple reward points until the end of this week so I decieded too snap it up. Cost me £19 with postage and I got 45 Nectar points, which will mean a bit of cash back,Â so I am pretty happy with that. Never played any INTV games so I am really looking forward to getting this!

Nectar points are a reward points scheme that have being going years here. Some retailers give them out, some just redeem them and some do both including one of the biggest supermarkets (Sainsburys), which just happens to be where I shop. They are new to eBay though, only been doing them for a week or so now, which is probably why they are giving out triple points. Given how much I use eBay it will be great to get points on my purchases and be able to use them to get money off my grocery shopping.

I was down at the Video Game Carnival at the weekend so got to go to my favourite shop ever - Kart Klub.

In there I picked up a Saturn game called Black Fire for £10, it is supposedly pretty rare so I was well pleased:

And I also picked up one of these:

ps2 isn't REALLY considered Retro by many people, its more consoles that came out BEFORE 2000 that count as retro in some retro circles. Personally I think Retro is any console thats not part of the current gen but thats me lol

Yeah the D pad on the original is the only thing about it I don't like so this should fix that plus shoulder buttons should make a big improvement.

As far as i know the VC4000 was holds an early position in the family tree of a whole line of 70's/early 80's consoles including the Acetronic, Radofin, Prinztronic, Hanimex consoles which were all based on the 1292AVPS programmable cartridge system chipset. Apparently the VC4000 was developed in 1974 but wasn't released until 1978 where Radofin released it's console in 1976 using the same technology.Â May well do some reviews in the future. in the mean time here is a link to read through about it.

Finally. It's a strange one; surprisingly hard to get (especially complete) as there is rarely more than one or two copies on eBay at the same time overall, it is still cheap. Nobody placed a bid except for me.

The SMS version is the best home version of the game imo. Arguably it's better than the original arcade game, which is probably because the SMS port was released in 1993, with the arcade game being from 1986 and other 8-bit versions having been released in 1987.

That's probably the reason why despite being an excellent conversion, a late release on the system and being fairly uncommon the game is still dirt cheap. Just wait for some YouTube celebrity to show it in a video and it will get more expensive I bet.^^

Presuming you mean the first one, onthinice was correct:

Quote from: "onthinice"I want Advanced_Daisenryaku! Cool!!! Thanks for sharing 108 Stars!

It's a turn-based strategy game where you can play either as one of the allies or as Germany and relive all the fun that was World War II.^^
Of course the game is Japanese, so it's more for the collection, but there is a 95% translation patch available so you can play it via emulation.

The intro alone is pretty infamous.

If it's any consolation the Xbox Crystal didn't have any of the leads or controllers and it also needed a repair to the start and DVD drawer buttons as both of them were jammed in causing the dvd drawer not to open and the Xbox to randomly switch itself off. All repaired now though.

That does make me feel a little better although I'm sure I could have unjammed them at that priceÂ

Funny you should say that, i've had 3 Xboxes, 2 soft mods, the other my original untouched model and the only 1 of the 3 to suffer mechanical issues is the Crystal model, DVD drive tray often seems unwilling to open.Can hear something trying to move, but usually have to pry it open.

Just wondering if Crystal models more prone to failure?.

Post by: Console Compulsive on February 23, 2013, 22:02:27 PM

No more than the other models as far as i'm aware. One of my other normal xboxes had the same problem as yours. I've taken it apart, checked everything and cleaned the disc tray runners. This helped although the problem is still there it only gets stuck every now and again rather than all the time.

Since i mainly use the Crystal for the games on the HDD (Emulators), not overly concerned if tray does give up the ghost, mind you sods law say's it'll happen when i've a mates DVD in the damn thing.

:-)

Cheers for the heads up, nice to know it's not just my machine.

I also got 2 Dreamcast controllers brand new, bought a replacement copy of PSOv2 PAL and Crazy Taxi 2 on DC as both copies were either knackered or close to it, from ebay, and got a Tomytron sky assault (burgundy) 3d game unit for £15 a few weeks ago!

It keeps happening while I am on this site, I didn't know I needed a Turbo Grafx until I was told everyone needed one on this site. I knew I needed a Crystal Xbox but resisted until I saw your thread on here Console Compulsive. Now I've ordered a Sega Megadrive Arcade stick because someone reminded me of them recently.

(http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTiiTexbwAWi7XZNB2UWQP1USlXTayH3CgUWFyWHaKIJnAkoPya)

Bought one of these last week. Turbografx consoles sold in NA have RF output only which kinda sucks so if you want to be able to use RCA cables you need one of these. It plugs into the back where the CD unit would go. There not very common so I was pretty happy to find one and it's mint in the original box too.
On a side note it's official, I buy way too much crap online! When I went to the post office to pick this up they didn't even ask for ID cause they know me so well! LOL

I know that feeling, I am usually on first name terms with all the Post Office staff!Â

Thankfully the PAL TG comes with RGB Scart as standard, you actually have to plug in a modulator to get RF output so it's completely the opposite!

Cannot think where i read interview with coder behind F-22 on MD, but in those pre-SVP chip days, i'm sure he+team used not only the M68000 of the MD to generate the polygon visuals, but also the Z80 and anything else they could fool into giving a little more power to the maths needed.

Sounded like some really creative coding for sure.

Interesting, I think a lot of people kind of forgot the MD had a co-processor.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Rogue Trooper on March 08, 2013, 20:57:25 PM

From what i recal, as well as the 2 processors, the coders tapped into the part of the MD hardware which 'read' the cartridge, talk about pulling power from every last area of the hardware.

Looking back at what the most talented coders got from the stock MD hardware, still amazes me today:Polygons, FMV, sprite Scaling etc.

The hardware limitations seemed to be viewed more as a challange than an obstacle and better still, as well as being technically superb, games always seemed to be bloody great as well (Gunstar Heroes, Red Zone, F-22 etc).

Andre Panza Kickboxing
Bonk's Revenge

Today for the first time I saw something retro worth buying at a carboot sale. Aside from loads of PSones (I already have one) and loads of PS games for sale from cheap to stupid prices, I found Psycho pinball for the Megadrive and bought it for a quid. There were some other MD games on the same stall but all Fifa games I'm never likely to play, and would only get used as a doorstop or shelf filler, I suppose the boxes could have been useful for other unboxed games.

Yes you did.Â You must have missed the thread about that system in here.Â It was on sale on GroupOn for $15 or so (can't remember the exact amount right now).Â It was too cheap to not jump at it.Â I'd love to find a multicart but those seem to be very difficult to find.Â So, I'll likely keep the game library small.Â

Had a chance to test out the N1 today. I'm happy to report that it works very well. Of all the games I purchased, only one game doesn't want to work properly, Gauntlet.

So, it looks as though some of the Tengen games may have an issue. Thankfully, of the five I got, only this one has issues. The other ones all work just fine. Gauntlet is not playable, unfortunately, even though it does come up fine on the screen and lets me select characters and all. Unfortunately, once the game starts, there is no way to grab anything, the shots don't work on anything, and your character moves through some of the walls.

Then then yesterday I popped into my local games shop and grabbed Bully and Street Racer for the Wii for £10 and he threw in the MD Jurassic Park for free! :16:

Dunno where to put this, so here will do hopefully

Just picked this up from Turnarcades (they are based just 6miles from my work)

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/23/bepezumy.jpg)

The Laird will hopefully remember it from the Retro Revival event.

It's allegedly got over 8000 games on it with

Arcade Roms
Laserdisc Game Roms
Emulators and games for :
NES, SNES & N64
Neo Geo
SEGA Megadrive I, II
Game Boy
Game Gear
Atari Jaguar amongst others
And a Jukebox mode which will play uploaded MP3's

I have never wanted the home time buzzer to go so much :-D

I wanted to try out my new credit card so it gave me a good excuse to buy one of these:

(http://www.funstock.co.uk/image/cache/data/RetroGaming/Ultimate%20Portable%20Sonic/sega-megadrive-arcade-ultimate-sonic-edition-opt-320x320.jpg)

I had heard that these 6 button ones that feature an SD card slot (also known as the Sega Gopher) are much better than the old ones that were limited to just the built in games.

They have 20 games built in, mostly classics, and once you get a SD card you can download ROMs to it to add more.

The main reason I bought one though is that Funstock have just knocked £10 off the price and by entering "RVG" as a coupon code when you check out you get a further 10% off, so I really can't complain!

Raiden Project and Strikers 1945 for the PS1.

I use to have Strikers 1945 Plus on Neo Geo AES as a conversion cart (cost me a pretty penny of $400), but came to my senses eventually and sold my Neo Geo collection a few years ago. So, this PS1 version will suffice nicely at only $11.

My latest retro "game" purchase is some hardware for my 130XE. I ordered a stereo upgrade & 2nd POKEY chip and an SIO2SD device from Lotharek. Received them today.

(http://www.diffusedion.co.uk/images/130XE1-s.jpg) (//http)

First thing to do was to de-solder the POKEY chip (mine wasn't socketed) and solder in the new socket.

(http://www.diffusedion.co.uk/images/130XE2-s.jpg) (//http)

Put both chips in and solder a ton of wires. Not feeling great at the moment, so this was more difficult than normal. The wires on the port to the right are for the SIO2SD. Below the new audio sockets on the left you can see the S-Video socket I added a while ago.

(http://www.diffusedion.co.uk/images/130XE3-s.jpg) (//http)

Already loaded up Jet Set Willy & Warhawk. Everything seems to be OK.

If anyone wants to suggest some games to try out....

Result! The box looks to be in great condition. Is the console itself in good nick too?

I'd imagine such a thing CIB like that would likely fetch a pretty penny on ebay these days given that it's the de facto Mega Drive/Genesis of choice.

I'm wondering if it being multi-region for games also means it can connect with Mega-CD/Sega CD and 32X of all regions too? In theory one would perhaps think so but if, say, a PAL Mega-CD specifically needs a Mega Drive with its PAL BIOS chip then it might not. I'm intrigued.

Cheers. It'd be cool if it is compatible with your (presumably) PAL Mega-CD as you'd obviously then only need the one Mega Drive taking up space. I don't know if you own a 32X but I'd have thought that peripheral uses the same regional lock-out protection technology as Mega-CD/Sega CD does.

Many of the developers for the Intellivision do make overlays for their games as that is part of the experience.Â Not all overlays are useful during gameplay but they do "decorate"the controller quite nicely while providing some basic information (i.e., which buttons fire, selection of levels, number of players...).Â All the official releases from Elektronite, LTO, and IntelligenVision have overlays.Â

In Intellivision-land, collecting the overlays is also a big deal and there are folks who make overlays for games that did not have any officially (from the original releases) and for the homebrews that do not have them.

Interesting stuff. It sounds as though the Intellivision scene is a passionate one where folk care for the extra little details that serve to enhance the overall experience. I'm seeing some parallels there with the screen overlays for Vectrex, i.e. the desirability of owning them and there being reproductions available to purchase. That level of enthusiasm reminds me of how great the Jag scene used to be before it all turned to ratshit following... well, you know the story!

You are exactly right and the parallel with Vectrex owners is valid as well.Â I have a pretty significant collection of overlays for both systems myself, even if many of my Vectrex overlays are reproductions.Â It's just more fun to play the games with them.Â On Vector Gaming Forums some folks are talking about making overlays for several of the homebrews that do not have them right now.Â Very exciting stuff!Â

Looks nice and clean Trek. The only thing I wonder is why they gave you older controllers instead of the dogbones that came with the top loader. They are good and comfortable for long gaming sessions. Excellent!

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on August 03, 2013, 17:33:12 PM

I was wondering the same thing but I couldn't really argue with the price. Finding systems with the dogbone conntrollers is harder for some reason. The controllers themselves are not hard to find nor are they pricey if one gets the Tomee branded ones. I may end up doing that.

That's the Starplex controller, which works on the 2600, 7800, and C64.Â

Â I'm hoping a new sticker for Space Rocks gets released (I know there are modified Starplex controllers that will be sold) so I can just attach it to this controller.Â

We've been talking about this on the auction thread. I got one of the Atari 2600 Portable systems recently, the one on Game Gavel. It just arrived today. Here are some pictures of it!

It works pretty well and only one cart has not worked with it, the special Star Castle cart. Given that that cart has LED lights, I'm not surprised. One of the fire buttons seems to have a bad spring also, so I may open it up to replace that. Pretty cool piece of hombrew hardware.

I haven't bought many retro games lately but I was starting to feel the itch again so I picked up a couple over the last week.

Beggar Prince for the MD/Genesis. This was Super Fighter Teams first ever homebrew release and has been long sold out. They only made 1500 copies so it can get a little pricey but I managed to snag a copy that was fairly reasonable.

Moto Roader for the Turbografx. I've read some pretty mixed reviews of this game but it was cheap so I decided I would give it a chance.

Japanese version of F-Zero X. Gorgeous, gorgeous packaging. I have the PAL version but wanted this after seeing a comparison video showed the NTSC version to be faster despite the PAL optimisation.

It doesn't feel obviously faster - though some tunnel sections feel a bit faster - it shows that the PAL port was a pretty good job. I love having this - F-Zero X is my favourite in the series - it is just so much fun and even 1ups the mighty GX in that respect. There is the odd track side sign I have noticed that I don't think was in the PAL version so I will have fun spotting the differences.

I have used rumble with this game for the first time - should have tried it ages ago. I really feel Nintendo used rumble on the N64 better than anyone - probably on any console since actually. It really adds to the game - the N64 rumble pack seems to be capable of a wider and more subtle range of movement - great stuff.

One more thing to add. Though I have this game's ROM to use on the CC3, the cart is so unique that I decided to get the complete game. For $20, it's not that bad considering I got the box, cart, overlays, and manual. I've seen the cart alone sell for that!

Some of the things I've got recently:

Most significantly (for me anyway), I got a gold N64. Wanted one of these for ages. Motherboard revision was NUS-CPU-08 so I swapped it with my RGB modified board. It now sits next to my blue debug PS1.

(http://www.diffusedion.co.uk/images/GoldN64-rs.jpg) (//http)

Some random games (most of these were from car boot sales, Cash Converters and similar hence the odd choices). I don't know how likely it is that I'll actually play Soldier of Fortune for example, but it was 5p (as were some of the other PC games). Super Mario Land is actually Super Mario Land 2, which I also got but the cartridge was in crap condition so I put it in Super Mario Land as I already had a copy. Will print out a new label for Super Mario Land 2.

I also got Unreal (PC), Land of Illusion (Game Gear), Lucky Dime Caper (Game Gear) - but I already had these so I gave them to my sister.

(http://www.diffusedion.co.uk/images/NewGames1-rs.jpg) (//http)

(http://www.diffusedion.co.uk/images/NewGames2-rs.jpg) (//http)

...and a ZX81. Need to replace the ULA chip though.

I just paid 99p to 'upgrade' my Wii VC Super Mario Bros. ROM to the Wii U VC version. Somebody shoot me now, lol! I can now play it using the Wii U GamePad instead of the crappy Wii Remote. Plus it has save states/restore points like an unofficial emulator. Being able to load the game directly from the Wii U desktop without having to boot into Wii mode and fart around with the Wii Remote is more convenient too.

A total rip-off even at 99p but for one game at least curiosity got the better of me. I certainly won't be paying 99p to 'upgrade' my other Wii VC game purchases once they become available on the Wii U VC.

Quote from: "onthinice"Glad the upgrade worked out, DC!!!!

Cheers! The other cool feature of said 'upgrade' that I forgot to mention is that it allows one to play the game via the GamePad screen. Low resolution NES graphics tend to look better on the GamePad's smaller sized 480p screen than on my 40" 1080p HDTV.

Anyway, over the last week...

N64
Rogue Squadron, Beetle Adventure Racing, Pilotwings 64, Body Harvest, Wave Race 64, F Zero X

Gamecube
Controller, Wave Race Blue Storm, Rogue Squadron 2.

On my wish list (because I have to stop now!)

N64
Mario Kart, Mario 64, Mario Golf.

Gamecube
Double Dash and Eternal Darkness.

Nice!Â

I own all but one of those N64 game cartridges. It's merely my opinion but I consider Wave Race 64 to have aged terribly albeit the water/wave 'physics' are a work of genius. I've not played Beetle Adventure Racing for some time but the last time I did I recall enjoying the game quite a lot - an 'underrated gem', perhaps. I still think Mario Kart 64 is lacking as a single player game (unlike the sublime Mario Kart DS) but it's definitely fun as a multiplayer game.

The GameCube sequel you mentioned too wasn't a patch on the N64 game - a bad move by Ninty to have farmed out production of the game to a third-party dev.

Mario Kart Double Dash!! is definitely worth owning - especially so if you have kids due to the co-op aspect. The kart handling physics felt a little out of place for a MK game but it's not a game breaker.

Eternal Darkness is a wonderful game too for those who enjoy games of that nature.

SW RS2: RL may be a challenging game in some respects but the Death Star trench level is a joy to behold - it really showcased the graphics potential of GameCube (a launch game too!) in a way that made a mockery of the PS2's weak sauce capabilities. While SW RS3: Rebel strike, while not as good in some regards due to the on-foot parts, would come recommended too - mainly for the Snow Speeder/Hoth stage plus the fact it comes with conversions of all three of Atari Inc.'s classic SW arcade coin-ops as unlockable content.

The Magnavox Odyssey 2 is the same system as the Philips Videopac we had over here.

I just received this today, the Action 53 Function 16 Volume ONE "Streemerz Bundle" cart for the NES. This is a multi-cartridge of homebrew games featuring recent hits and several 2011 NA/nesdev competition entries. It's limited to a run of 100.

One more recent acquisition! This one is a special one because it is a very difficult to find game for the Intellivision, more so as complete as this one. I don't have the box but I can live with that since the boxed versions usually sell for over $100 and I got this for $20. Someone is currently selling the overlays each for $20 so I definitely got a great deal.

Some great pick-ups there and congrats on the 7800, Xenophobe and Mean 18 are great games. I also have a soft spot for Jinks too (although many seem to hate it). Wolf 3D and Theme Park are both great, the latter being the best version of the game IMO as it's really well suited to the keypad and has extra rides/shops that are not in the PS1 and Saturn versions! Euro Soccer is a very good game on the Lynx, many happy times playing that.

(http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o646/sqoon/sfcjoy_zpsfc489811.jpg)

It lets me play SNES games using a PSX Dual Shock controller, complete with analog thumbsticks controlling the directionals! How sweet is that?

Next, I am getting the same type of adapter, but for Genesis. I am looking forward to being able to play Genesis games with an analog thumbstick.

The plus to that adapter is that it should work with VCS, Master System, Colecovision, and even 7800 games. Can you imagine being able to play VCS and 7800 games with an analog thumbstick? Good times ahead.

No I bought it from another online shop. They offered to replace it but I had to send the defective one back. I didn't save the package so I couldn't do a return to sender and would have had to pay for the return shipping.
I looked all over the net and couldn't find anyone that had bought one or any kind of review to see if they really did work so I decided to just cut my losses and I didn't send it back.
Maybe I'll try Tototek, I'd never heard of them before.

Cons:
Missing manual
small scuff on the cartridge artwork
Ex-rental sticker

It allows Gamecube controllers to be used on NES. I cannot tell you the hand cramps caused by stock NES game pads, and am thankful to be able to use an analog thumbstick on NES games.

This weekend's pick-ups, I am particularly pleased with the Japanese Mega Drive games. I walked into Computer Friendly in Dunstable today and the boss Mark says to me "know the value of these?" and brings out a big carry case full of MD games, most of which were Jap! I took all the games I didn't already have, would have been rude not to, and he still has a load left.

A guy I work with was sorting out his loft and told me he had a couple of old consoles, and loads of games. Today he brought them in and I got these for £30 (along with two PC's and loads of PC spare parts)

Turns out all the Dreamcast games he had were copies, so worthless anyway but I think a DC and 3 controllers and 2 VMU's all working is a good deal, and if the Master system works too the it's even better.

There is a version of this handheld that you can plug real carts into, the one I have takes SD cards. The emulation on them is pretty crap though, especially the abysmal sound, so it's not worth hunting down.

Thanks! That Fix It Felix is from a second run that had the game itself fixed for some bugs. Though it is a limited run, it is not numbered. The first fun was numbered (50 were released) and the box, cart, and manual look different. The box is more the traditional plastic case rather than a sleeve like this version has. Here is what the first run looks like:

Someone is selling #47 on NintendoAge. That particular cart has had the game updated to the fixed version.

(http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z280/mrkizza/20131217_190408_zpsae349a80.jpg)

The big box Dig Dug only came yesterday but I actually picked up the XE Light Gun and XE Joystick for £4 each at Revival but forgot all about them until I unpacked the box yesterday. I was especially pleased with these as the guns are know to go for £50+ on eBay and the sticks are as rare as hens teeth!

Here's a little something that came in the mail today... Unfortunately, it was supposed to include the power supply but it was not in the box. The seller says he put it in the box but it just wasn't there. Thankfully, he's reimbursing me $20 to get one on ebay.

So I finally bought some games for my Nintendo 64. I've actually had the thing for a few years, probably after an off-hand comment I made to my parents which made them get one for me. I appreciated, of course, but they didn't get any games, so I went ahead and fixed that.

(I've had a N64 before, a long time ago, but I had to sell it to buy some computer parts, sadly.)

So I got:

- Ocarina of Time: I've been really into Darksiders lately, so I figured I might as well get the game it spawned from and see if I can't finish the thing this time.
- Mace: The Dark Age: I've always really liked this game, even if nobody else did. Soul Blade/Edge gameplay, with Street Fighter-style moves and MK-style fatalities? Sign me up.
- Wetrix: Never had this game at all until now, but I played a demo once, and it looked like a lot of fun.
- Turok 3: I played the first two Turoks, never liked them much. You never had any idea where you were going. From what I hear, the third game is more linear, sort of like Half-Life, and that sounds a lot more playable.
- Extreme G 2: Never played this game, ever, but I hear it's a pretty good futuristic racer in the style of Wipeout.

I picked up a big lot of 2600 stuff on eBay last week and in amongst it all was these 3 games:

(http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z280/mrkizza/20140107_134923_zps31ae0577.jpg)

Was very pleased to get Crash Dive and Miner 2049'er as I don't have these games and the second of the 2 in particular is very hard to get hold of, only paid the equivalent of about £1 each for these.

The third game though is very peculiar, it clearly has the label from the ColecoVision version of Centipede but is definitely a 2600 game! Never seen this before!

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)

(http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z429/ajvick/1FB0EF85-A5F4-4E1B-9ABB-27EC06E86F1F.jpg)

Also managed to snag a copy of Blade Eagle 3D for the Master System, but that hasn't turned up yet. I've been neglecting the rest of my collection recently in favour of plenty of Atari stuff, so I thought it was about time I showed the MVS and MS some love. Metal Slug is a bootleg, but I wanted to play it without the loading lag of my CD version. The MVS board is packed away at the moment, so I'm planning on using my Super Converter II to play this one on the AES. I was also looking into the Neo Minibox's to store my MVS carts, rather than the shockboxes.

These beauties arrived this morning, very pleased with this lot as I have been after a Bug Hunt for a while. It was one of the games that came with the XEGS Deluxe Pack and given how rare the light guns are I wasn't very hopeful of finding one. It was never released separately and didn't have a box. I love that box for Kaboom too!

The Nomad is really cool.Â Having the ability to play using standard carts on a portable system is great and it does pretty well.

My Genesis isn't the only system getting some love. Here are the Madtronix Arcade Stick for the Vectrex along with three additional games: Star Sling, Logolite, and Mail Plane. I was one of the folks who helped get Mail Plane game bought through community funding from a seller on ebay. It has not been officially released yet.

Logolite and Star Sling had only seen a limited release from the folks at Vectorzoa as standard carts. These new ones are slimcart releases with their permission.

Yes, I have the standard edition of Towers II.Â This is the special edition and I did get it for a good price.Â Less than I paid for the standard edition!Â Orion Collection cart release is just a lose cart.Â No box or manual but it does come with a sheet with information on the games.

You know both versions of Towers II are identical right?

Yep japan release only between 95 and 2000. Nintendo joined up with StGIGA a satellite radio division of WOWOW tv station to bring scrambled content which was downloaded on to 8M Memory Paks. Games could also be downloaded like zelda games etc. a lot of games used live voice actors during set broadcasts. There is a lot more to it but this gives you an idea.

After getting this in cart form I managed to find boxed copy. Comes with a hand fish guide and a fold out instruction/lake map. Most interesting part is the cartoon instructions for use with the satellaview. The box art is awesome too.

Quote from: "LS650"My latest purchase arrived today: an NTSC TurboGrafx-16.Â I got it for a fairly decent price from Amazon.Â No box or manuals, but the hardware is in very good condition and everything works great.Â Unfortunately I only got two games with it, and neither one is outstanding: Keith Courage, and Double Dungeon.

Now I will be on the lookout for some decent TG16 deals on eBay....Â

Welcome to the TG-16 club and there are some really good games worth tracking down. Like Bonk and Pac-Land.

These two shipped today! Congo and PTO II. Sorry about the glare. I will take the blame or it could be the sealed wrap or just the camera.

Post by: onthinice on February 20, 2014, 19:33:19 PM

PTO II is an RPG by Koei, one of my favorite developers and Congo seems to be a First Person Shooter. I started to rip into the plastic on Congo so that is why it looks a little rougher. I enjoyed the movie and hope to have fun with the game. It has had some mixed reviews from what I read.

If you don't already have it then get Silpheed, that is my favourite Mega CD game and a stunning shoot 'em up that is quite reminiscent of Galaga in the gameplay stakes.

Final Fight is an absolute must have game too and pretty much anything by Core Design is great (especially Soul Star).

I visited every used video game store and pawn shop in town, looking for any TurboGrafx games I could fine.Â Nothin' - but I did find a Craigslist ad.Â A fellow had some extra Hucards due to a recent lot purchase, so for about $35 US I got copies of Alien Crush, Blazing Lasers, and Legendary Axe with manuals and cases.Â Not anything rare but I thought it was a decent price for three of the TG16 better games.

Val D'Isere is a pretty under rated game actually. You don't hear it talked about very much but its got some pretty impressive visuals and lots of playability, it was done by the same people as Super Burn Out.

Dragon's Revenge is a great sequel to Dragon's Fury (although not quite as good) and T2: Arcade Game is great, if a bit hard. World Of Illusion is stunning looking but not a fan of platformers in general as you know (I do own it though).

must.....stop.......buying........games.........got.........enough........already

well i bought a nice copy of command and conquer for ps1, big box version 99p, box has cracks but will research how to restore it, super kick off (master system) £1, only wanted it for the box to put a tectoy artwork into, davis cup (mega drive) box only 25p- will improve condition of one of my md games, same with brian lara cricket (md) £1, its a codemasters game, so has one of the funny boxes, might put my copy of m.m turbo tournament into that box as its much better than it has, my missus also managed to find a 2gb psp memory card for £2.50, i have a tiny one donated by someone off rg but this is perfect for some ms/cd32 emulation on my psp.
and while we were shopping (my missus stood outside the shop as she had been to costa- i am allergic to caffeine), while we were on the other side of the town centre she said 'that shop had wonder boy in monster world in the window for £10, has that been there a while?' i went back to put the shopping in the car and called in and picked it up, along with the tape i talk about on the other thread.

then i dropped some stuff off with my parents (mum has no car till monday as she had a crash yesterday) and they were getting rid of a bookcase, which now houses my games collection

hopefully thats me done till play blackpool

If it's the clear bits that are cracked then they can be replaced with the backs off standard CD jewel cases.

-6 Atari 7800 games, sealed. Realsports Baseball, Super Huey, Touchdown Football, One on One Basketball, Ballblazer, and Winter Games ($27 total).

And for Gameboy I got WWF Superstars (loose) and Chase HQ (loose) for the gameboy color.

I don't even plan on opening the 7800 games, but I thought it was a good enough deal to warrant the purchase, and I didn't have any of them boxed yet, except for the Baseball game.

Post by: TL on March 23, 2014, 16:38:13 PM

If you are not going to open the 7800 games be aware that over time the shrink will get tighter, crush the boxes and then stick to them leaving them damaged. Seen this happen to load of sealed Atari games. It is better to just open them.

Yeah I am not a big fan of AOTMP, the idea is great and the graphics are nice but's just too confusing to be enjoyable in large doses.

Fever Pitch is a very different game to Sensible Soccer, more an arcade style game with some crazy features, It's an ok game, probably more suited to people who aren't actually football fans.

Quote from: "Jagman67"Just picked up my first Atari Lynx! Now I have to wait for the games to get here to give it a try.Â I picked up Xenophobe, Gauntlet, AvP, and Zaku

Excellent! Good start to the collection too!

Now make sure you get STUN Runner next if you really want to be blown away!

Thanks, I will definitely check out Stun Runner!

Jagman IÂ am really surprised that you bought AvP for the LYNX as one of your first games. There really isn't that much to it, otherÂ than a small tech demo really. I would hardly call it a game.

Not the best of games but it wasn't in my collection so hey ho. Cost me about £20 which is neither good nor bad and as I'm happy with it then I won't lose any sleep lol

I also got Fever Pitch recently - brand new for £15 though I doubt I will ever play it as I have the other football game Sensible Soccer :113:

Excellent! Good start to the collection too!

I don't know what Stun Runner is like on the Lynx, presumably quite good as the Lynx is an excellent hand-held, but I have played Stun Runner in the arcade. The one with a motor cycle to sit on - that is one awesome game, very addictive

The programmer of Stun Runner on LYNX had the arcade source code to directly translate with, thus it's very near arcade perfect. He has some posts on the Lynx board over at AA, and they are very informative. I find all the Lynx games he programmed to be of the highest quality and near arcade perfect, like Roadblasters and Toki.

They moved to a new shop round the corner in the main street, it's much bigger than the old one and he is even thinking of putting an arcade in the basement!

Bought the system for 30 dollars and the cart was an extra fifty from AtGames. But you can play almost every Sega 16-bit game. Most are really good. The Electronic Arts games are off on the sound but the gameplay was still intact.

I wanted it for travel and family gatherings. It is light weight and you can use original controllers.

Highlights for me are Yager and Crimson Skies which are hidden gems in MJR (and mine!) opinions and looking forward to those.

Worth a mention is the BSG game which is an odd hybrid (geddit arf arf!) of being set in the 2004 series continuity but visually is based off the 1978 series.

All great Saturn imports, Cotton 2 in particular.Â That is one game that doesn't get its due because of the cutesy characters, but it is one of my favorite all time shmups.Â Cotton Boomerang is no slouch either.

GREAT pick ups! One of my all time favorite Megadrive games, my 2nd favorite 32x game, and Mercs is a great game also. I don't know why Gunstar Heroes doesn't get mentioned more often, although you could say that about all of Treasure's stuff.

Micro Machines is the best of the lot but Perfect Dark isn't far off (a strange mix of Metal Gear Solid top down view with Resident Evil Gaiden style graphics). MM is a nigh on perfect conversion of the Amiga games, plays well and everything you could hope for in a handheld version.

I don't know if this belongs in latest purchases but here's the story of my latest additions.
My wife was on a Facebook page which is for people locally to offer stuff for free, like Freecycle but on FB. She tells me there's a woman offering some Spectrum keyboards and games and did I want it?
Obviously I did, and she collected it from half a mile away...
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-wsBAw2-i2zM/U4zK-376SxI/AAAAAAAAHAc/mibcgc0mnqI/w958-h573-no/IMAG0317.jpg)
Inside a big box was two opened up ZX Spectrum + computers and two mainboards, loads of games and 3 joystick interfaces, 2 of which had an extra slot which I believe are for these rom cartridges...
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Hws8CxZNvjE/U4zMaNFPwrI/AAAAAAAAHCs/nKvjAotFIN8/w958-h573-no/IMAG0329.jpg)
There was also two books and a couple of big box multi tape games..

As well as all these...

The pictures only show half of the games, so next I have to try out some of the stuff, and see if I can salvage a working Spectrum from what's here. I have the best wife in the world. :113:

Post by: dougtitchmarsh on June 03, 2014, 15:29:13 PM

I had an idea the rom carts were worth something as I hadn't seen any before and thought they may be rare. Having been given a couple of Ebay links, they seem to be very collectible and valuable, with one at £70 and another at £150 and as these have fairly good boxes and some have instructions too and all have the red skirting which apparently go missing I seem to have a good find. Even better is I just tried the two Speccys and one works, and the cart / joystick interface and Backgammon also workÂ :113:

I picked up the Konami MSX Collection for the Sega Saturn a while back, I really wanted to like this system as it has some great graphics and sound but there is one huge issue that ruins A LOT of games - THE SCROLLING SUCKS!

On some games it is so jerky it pretty much makes the game unplayable, and this is coming from an Atari ST owner!

That said fans of the MSX or people who want to find out more about it should check this thread! (//http)

picked up a few randoms this week. I have actually slowed right down on the retro stuff recently as I am on an Xbox one and Wii U phase at the minute.

However if a bargain pops up, I will still pick the odd retro item up.

first one is an Atari jaguar with 14 games, Ebay prices are going up and up at the moment but you can still get the odd bargain, £78 for all this jaguar stuff.

(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac237/joncryan/Ebay%20Pictures/002_zpsda7f29b2.jpg) (//http)

(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac237/joncryan/Ebay%20Pictures/003_zps0e68858a.jpg) (//http)

picked up some really cheap PS1 games, PS1 games seem to be going for peanuts lately.

(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac237/joncryan/Ebay%20Pictures/008_zps9192d290.jpg) (//http)

Got a bundle of videogame related comics for £1

(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac237/joncryan/Ebay%20Pictures/007_zps5fdb066c.jpg) (//http)

Now this is something I have never seen before. I got 2 of them. what you do is remove the original back plate of a GBA and replace it with the back from this kit. you can then plug in an adaptor into the new backplate and it has TV out to play your GBA on a TV.

(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac237/joncryan/Ebay%20Pictures/004_zps87bd4fd4.jpg) (//http)

now these are the main 2 parts, and you also get a couple of mini screwdrivers to help do the job. I am going to buy a cheap GBA to see what it is like.

(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac237/joncryan/Ebay%20Pictures/005_zpsd8d7c154.jpg) (//http)

A bit dissapointing as the 2nd kit has had its AV cord cut. If someone wants to do a little relodering and wiring and fancies trying the kit out then give me a shout. all I would want is postage and someone can have themselves a nice little mod job to do.

(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac237/joncryan/Ebay%20Pictures/006_zpscd83f65e.jpg) (//http)

also some N64 games

(http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac237/joncryan/Ebay%20Pictures/009_zps1385e90d.jpg) (//http)

and these, the analogue stick on the Hori pad is acting up so I got it for £5. going to try and replace the analogue stick. If anyone has done this before could they let me know which stick works best as I have heard some people say you can use the Gamecube one.

the other stuff is a US Wii game and freeloader. dont need this and Ebay will not let you sell them so the game abd freeloader disc is up for trade if anyone is interested.

GleyLancer and Eliminate Down are repros that came as cart alone. I made the inserts for the cases. Unfortunately, the images are of low resolution so they don't look as nice as they could. So, if anyone has these two games and doesn't mind doing a nice scan of the box inserts, that'd be welcome. :4:

Scooter, SQT-UT is Deep Dungeon III: Yuushi e no Tabi.

Which one(s) aren't you sure of in the other photograph? Row and column location would help.

Congrats on increasing your Famicom collection. I have several hundred of carts/"cassettes" for mine, but I still buy the odd game (and NES titles, which I can play with an adaptor).

Awesome deal.Â It sounds like you snatched them up for a great price.Â Coincidentally, I just finished my first playthrough of Metroid Prime, and I think it's one of the strongest games on the system.Â It represents all of the best elements of the Metroid series while making a successful transition to the FPS genre.Â I probably spent hours of my time scouring the land with my scan visor, looking to learn more about the environment, the mission, and the mythology.Â The controls work incredibly well, and honestly, it's nice to play an FPS game that doesn't feel like a carbon copy of every other shooter ever made.Â Super Mario Sunshine is a true work of art and really showcases the graphical power and charm of the Nintendo GameCube.Â The water gun mechanics are an interesting addition to what should otherwise feel like a familiar control scheme.Â The whimsical story got my attention early and held my interest pretty firmly.Â I hope you enjoy those two games.

I went on a little ebay shopping spree recently and stuff is starting arrive.

First up is this Sega CDX. I've wanted one of these for a long time and this is in perfect condition so I'm very happy with it!

(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a559/CGs_pics/IMAG0132_zpse1c6791c.jpg) (//http)

Next is this absolutely beautiful arcade stick.

(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a559/CGs_pics/IMAG0133_zps476b8b3a.jpg) (//http)

It's huge, as you can see in this pic with a PS3 controller beside it.

(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a559/CGs_pics/IMAG0134_zps4e988d77.jpg) (//http)

I've been looking for a good quality one for a while, but I wanted to be able to use it with all my retro consoles. It's PS2 and XBOX compatible plus I bought PS2 adapters for my 3DO, Genesis, and Neo Geo so I can use it with all of them too. I have a few more adapters to buy and then I will be able to use it with every retro console I own except for the Atari ones. Someone really needs to make a 7800/PS2 adapter!

Yes, thanks Ice!
Unfortunately my one joystick to rule them all plan failed miserably! For whatever reason these PS2 adapters they make only work with DualShock 2 controllers. Must be something in the wiring but in any case the joystick I bought will not work with them. Not a total loss though, I can still use it for PS1, PS2, and original XBOX games, and I have a lot of arcade compilations for all three of those platforms so it will still get a lot of use. That and I still have regular PS2 controllers that I can use with the adapters with my other consoles. Just a heads up though if anyone else thought it sounded like a good idea.

I also have a different big box version of Jedi Knight.

I picked these games up for £2 earlier today.

My latest old PC (left tower) - a Pentium II 233. I now have 6 PC's. This one will have Windows 95 on it.

You may notice the rather bright 5.25" floppy drive in the 486 (bottom desktop case). It was listed as "untested" but was unused. Managed to back-up some old files that I previously couldn't read on my other 5.25" floppy drive.

The game capture thing has a pretty funny story to it. There were 2 guys at the stall - first one said £3 but he walked off before I could buy it. 2nd guy said £10 so I put it down and just hung around until the other guy came back. I bought it quickly and walked off right as the 2nd guy (who wanted £10) came back.

OK all, so here is my loot from CGE! A mixed bag of stuff from the 2600, Intellivision, Vectrex, Jaguar, Genesis and 32X. I also got a documentary limited edition DVD/BD set (signed) and a signed book.

OK, here are the arrivals for this week. My Intellivision Flashback is wrapped in a special, limited edition wrapper from CGE that was signed by the Blue Sky Rangers. These were being sold with the consoles at the event but I was able to get just the wrapper since I had preordered the console already.

That is a good price! I've been focusing on Neo Geo CD and PC Engine lately, which means 90% of the stuff I buy is coming out of Japan so I know what you're talking about. The condition is so much better than the stuff I buy elsewhere, some games look brand new!

Yes i originally owned it for my japanese megadrive way back,so after some patient surfing i was over the moon to get it for £2.50.Especially as nearly every auction was ending round about the 20 quid mark. It has some great music and still holds up today,i would go further and say it is the only pinball game i play now over the likes of last gladiator on saturn.Also the us sequel dragons revenge is a complete pile of sh1te im glad i missed out on that sodÂ

Here are some of my additions between Ebay, FreePlay Florida, and a visit to Play'N'Trade in Orlando. The Xbox Classic console I got along with the Dreamcast as part of a console bundle but I wanted to wait until I had games for it before posting pictures. I have been quite surprised with how cheap the games are to get for the Xbox. The 7800 games are courtesy of Bob!

Nice haul Trek! Now is definitely the time to be building an XBOX collection, as the games are very cheap like you mentioned. Same with the PS2 if you're thinking of getting one of those. They're both at the point where they aren't really retro yet but they're not modern either so nobody's buying them. Great for collectors

Yes, that Quackshot/Castle of Illusion looks like a great find.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Lorfarius on December 16, 2014, 08:08:06 AM

Every single time I get a game no matter for how long I always give them a ood cleaning with a cotton bud and isopropryl.Â But the contacts on Desert Strike and Quackshot were something else, 1 swipe down (they looked clean to the eye) and there was massive clogs of black goo stuck to the tip. I must have spent a good 5 minutes just scrubbing to clean them downÂ :31:

What I will say is if anyone has a nice collection of carts give them a clean with this stuff, it eats away anything from plastic and metal, evolving in minutes leaving nothing but pristine contacts behind (and no damage! Perfectly safe I've been doing it for years).

Still waiting on my console to arrive but I've been spending ages burning SegaCD games. I've no interest in collecting those so don't mind the odd copy to play the good games!

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on December 16, 2014, 11:39:28 AM

I've had to do that with many of the carts I get.Â There is just lots of gunk on them but the alcohol does the trick.Â

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: JoeMusashi on December 16, 2014, 12:43:27 PM

I find that if I drink the alcohol I can no longer see the dirt on the contacts, get the cartridge into the slot or focus on the TV for that matter. This mitigates the issue.

This approach works well for all media types; cartridge, CD and cassette.

Nice haul by the way. Road Rash II being the pick of the bunch for me.

Good stuff! I really like Rush 2049, never tried the fishing controller but I bet it's a lot of fun.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: 64bitRuss on January 04, 2015, 02:01:15 AM

I got that fishing controller for $12.99 plus shipping on ebay.

Not a bad deal at all for NOS. And I had a chance to try it out on that Sega Marine Fishing game, and yes it is quite fun!

I %100 completed Rush 2049 on the N64 years ago, and really wanted to try the DC version now that I have a DC console. I'm really enjoying the nicer graphics and audio. What I'm really impressed with though is just how good the N64 version really was. As far as content goes the N64 game has everything the DC game has.

Giga Wing is bad ass! Now I have to get a joystick for the DC too. I've already got a steering wheel in the mail for Rush and Daytona USA. Retro gaming is a never ending money pit.

Early DC games in NA had white labels, then a year or so later they changed to black. From what I've seen the original Giga Wing is white and Giga Wing 2 is black

The NG 64 main board came in three varieties - fighting, shooting and driving.

As far as I can remember, there are even less games for the other two boards

(http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/19XX/02%201943kai/1943_Kai_PCE_A.jpg)

both amazing shooters, sadly no boxes for either

but! the guy who i got them off said he would throw in some pc engine sleeves.....

when they arrived each in a sleeve, there was a second parcel attached .... 19 sleeves were thrown in extra haha

i would post my actual games but i'm not near my collection at the minute.

My copy of Sacred Line showed up yesterday, just need to find a case now. I was a little worried when I opened it and saw the size of the package. Obviously the insert must be folded at least once to fit in there, but looking at yours you can barely notice the fold line in the middle. Looks good

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on March 18, 2015, 23:28:19 PM

I had the very same concern when I received it.Â I was hoping they'd just send the insert flat or only bent in one place.Â Surprisingly, it works fairly well and the marks are not as obvious once in a case.Â I was wondering what BITS meant and was laughing when I read it in the kit.Â

Ive been doing some digging and the company that made them later became another company called Trilogic, then againÂ were taken over by another company from Leeds called Systime (who by all accounts were quite large).

I need to ask the chap who got this about it as chances are he's owned it from new....

Cassette to Cassette is uncommon for sure as yes I just used my HiFi, in hi speed also so sounded very strange!

This one has a crushed case (the back) and the CD got scratched. I'll need to test it this weekend since the JagCD is rather picky and it may not work.

VTech Laser200 (Salora Fellow in Finland) (Texet TX8000 in the United Kingdom) from 1983. "The Laser 200 was designed and built by Video Technology (VTech) in Hong Kong and derived from the Tandy TRS-80. Based on a Zilog Z80A CPU"

I got a machine, no power supply or cables. But it provides spectrum style cassette port so I could load tape files from PC.

Fewer things this week but here is what I got. To my surprise Rush Rush Rally for the Dreamcast arrived this week! Read some good stuff about Mickey Mania at Retro Gaming Mag's site so I got it. They commented on the cart version but I read the Sega CD version had extra stuff, so I got that one instead.

I probably wont buy a lot of games for it because of the ridiculous prices, and I have most of the cheap common games on CD already, but it's one of those things I've always wanted and I knew I would never be happy till I had one! Eventually I'm going to buy a MVS converter and then buy some of those games as they are much cheaper.

I took this picture just to show how huge these games are! Love it :113:

I was just looking to pick up Outrun 2 or Outrun Coast to Coast for either the PS2 or XBOX.

How does it play? Do you have a force feedback steering wheel working with it by chance? I've got a Logitech on the PS2 I wanted to use.

Also, do you know if any converter cables actually allow you to use a PS2 steering wheel on an XBOX or XBOX 360? Some say they do but people who have bought them have posted they do not work.

It's a cool game. It is well done but it is not easy. There are no tutorials to help you learn what you're supposed to do (many game of this type have tutorials). The graphics and sound are really excellent and the game controls well. Something that also makes it tough is that the levels are timed, so you can't just roam around exploring. Nonetheless, if you're a fan of the series, this is a good game to get. Hope that helps!

Here's some stuff that arrived this week...

Been a bit quiet of late for purchases but £22 for this a bargain.

Lots of games including Fable Lost Chapters and Morrowind which I'd been after for a while.

The Xbox is unmodded and staying that way, also cane with a 16mb memory card which will be useful to copy save games across from my modded console..

The 3rd party pad is unbranded but I recognise the design as a Logic 3 copy so if 3rd party knock offs of 3rd party pads - does that make it 4th party lol?

It is, I already have Black and a few others but they are all copies so its nice to get the originals. The memory card is very welcome as without it can be fiddly to transfer game saves from 1 xbox to another especially a modded to an unmodded.

For the bargain hunter I use an app called 'localebaydealsfinder' which searches only listings that are pick up only, it also ended at an odd time (fri afternoon) so was only me and 1 other bidder.

Just picked myself up another (non working) Jag as a spare. Had a bunch that someone had plugged the wrong power adapter into it. Opened it up, and there was a telltale hole in U38 and a bulging cap. Thankfully the sound was okay, so didn't need to replace Reg1. While I had it open, I decided to add a 50/60hz switch.

Latest eBay haul, £9.50 for this lot. The sports games I can throwaway but please to have those GTA games, the NFS ones and that GT4 is the standalone white box edition as oppose to my existing red one.

Gonna have to do a stock check this week on games as I think i may be close to doubling on games.

Couple of memory cards and pads are most welcome too.

Here's the stuff that arrived over the past week. The two 2600 games are limited releases from CGE events. I got a very good deal for both.

Most of the audio is uncompressed which for it's time was stunning. You know when you watch a DVD and an explosion bottoms out or sounds crunched? Yea on a LD it's full band spectrum, nowadays Blu Rays have the sme uncompressed audio, but for the longest LD was the way to go.

No trip to a retro gaming event is complete without getting some loot and here's what I got. The Xbox games were quite the deal as they were $1 each! I had to look through the stock to get complete games with good discs as many were incomplete and many of the discs were quite scratched!

Bargain! I regret ever selling my Xbox, had plenty of gems on there that were exclusives.

I've been slacking on the retro purchasing front, but the other week, I bought a huge joblot of consoles and games for £50 off a friend. In it was two slim PS2's (black and silver) and a Playstation 1, all complete, with over a hundred games, with some Xbox games along with it (not sure if it was intentional or not!). That kept me very happy for a long while, I must say!Â :16:

I'm not too familiar with the 8 bits either, so this is going to be a great way to learn! It's basically a computer but inside a console shell. It will play all the Atari 8 bit computer cartridges out of the box, and you can add a tape and disk drive to play the rest of the games. Looking forward to trying it out

Not the best condition front of box, but everything else is near mint and it was nice and cheap and he put it in a protective case too! Nice guy!

Heck yeah, and this one (//http) looks to be setting a new record.
It sure is something nice to have but good grief. Just hoping this doesn't become the new standard.

Edit:
I wish I had the mold for these and the circuit scheme. Would be great to mass produce them and sell dirt cheap so Jag owners worldwide could enjoy! (all 400 or 500 of them

)

I bought a brand new sealed Pro controller 2 or 3 years ago for $90, now a used one goes for over $200? It's a great controller and much better than the standard pad but I wouldn't pay that much for one!

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Akuza on September 04, 2015, 23:09:20 PM

Yeah a hack of sonic 1 to replace sonic with mighty! Gonna give it a go in a little bit, but I've never got a hack game as a physical copy before thought I'd nab this!

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on September 04, 2015, 23:16:36 PM

That's cool.Â How different is the character from Sonic?

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Akuza on September 04, 2015, 23:23:31 PM

He's more like a knuckles type of characters able to break through walls easily. that's as far as I know until I play it haha

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: zapiy on September 05, 2015, 15:01:39 PM

Never knew about this either.. Look forward to your thoughts.

Title: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Akuza on September 05, 2015, 15:37:28 PM

So I've given it a whirl, got to say it's decent enough.

Mighty has all of Sonic's basic abilities, including the Spin dash from Sonic 2. He also has his wall jump ability from Knuckles Chaotix. You press the jump button against a wall to stick to it for a moment, and press it again to leap off in the direction you chose. He can also smash through breakable walls by walking into them.

Which I think is pretty darn cool, although I think the cartridge I have is breaking as it got stuck in the console.. And now seems a little loose on both sides. Darn it.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on September 05, 2015, 15:59:21 PM

Cool, so looks like Mighty merges skills from both characters.Â Too bad about the cart, though.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Akuza on September 05, 2015, 16:00:39 PM

It still works thankfully, and maybe I can do something with the cart like glue it together to stop the looseness, but! Yeah merges both characters in a way

Wow, that is really nice. The Mega Man artwork is glorious and the trilogy for Star Wars brings back some awesome memories. The one at the top is a combo cart with 53 games? (I'd assume so but want to be sure it's not the company's name or something) I haven't heard of it but it looks cool.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on September 06, 2015, 00:27:18 AM

Thanks guys.Â The Action 53, I believe, comes from a competition.Â The cart actually has 16 different games from that competition.Â This is the second such cartridge compilation.Â

The Star Wars carts are in great condition indeed.Â I wanted to get CIB but they were too expensive so I've assembled by own versions for under $20.Â Custom box, loose cart, and separate instruction manual.Â

That rocks, been meaning to hit up MyAtari for those for some time. May step it up as I just ordered some games from Matthias Domin based on a recent post that the cart version of Impulse X was no longer available.
Procrastination cost me one of them, now it'll have to be tracked down in the wild at an exuberant rate.
Don't want that to happen with these.
Nice score Cryptic33!

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Cryptic33 on November 17, 2015, 17:17:24 PM

Thanks guys, indeed it is a piece of history Trek.

I never expected too much from these discs but they do demonstrate where Atari was going with game design.

Yeah, Bruce was very pleasant to deal with as I was querying the possible customs charges which, he does not calculate. I eventually found an online calculator and he reduced the postage costs for me as he had two different prices for each disc. The cartridges he sells would be subject to VAT taking their total price individually to just over £80 which is crazy. 16/32 systems does sell them for a lot less but Nick's site is very messy with many links still not working and he doesn't state if games are new or second hand which is very off putting.

I also recently bought World Tour Racing from Telegames and that is an exciting racer. I have never got the hang of racing games but this one I do like alongside Atari Karts that is

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Shadowrunner on November 17, 2015, 17:59:01 PM

Yeah, I've ordered from Bruce before too. He's easy to deal with but his prices and shipping costs are expensive. Still, some of the stuff he has can't be found elsewhere. World Tour Racing is a great game :113:

Some cool games there Trek. I thought I knew of dozens, even hundreds of titles for the 2600 but those are new to me. Then again, the flow of Atari games over here was never what it should have been for any of the systems.
I think it is funny how both titles have the depiction of a person with a gun, yet in the classic 80's style, Invader X would have sold more titles

After waiting 3 years for this to be finished, I finally have my Collectors Edition of Pier Solar for the Dreamcast! Here's some pictures of everything it came with. You could choose whichever region packaging you wanted, and I've always preferred the look of the Japanese orange so that's what I went with.

Yes! Bought it last minute on a whim and glad I did as Gaztee sold out soon after. Figured this needed to be added to the collection as another "one of a kind" to keep it interesting. Plus, will take some strain off of a JagCD which is a good thing since those puppies aren't likely to be reproduced.
Another excellent release :113:

It's a very nice package. Everything as professionally done as would be expected. Right up there in comparison to JHL15 and Another World. These high standards make it all the better. I know that's obvious but I hadn't realized the degree to which my appreciation is elevated until I really started to examine this and add it to a new perspective of the product as a whole. I have a ton of respect for the efforts these gents have applied.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Simon_G on January 12, 2016, 07:05:07 AM

It's more of a timing thing Trek.Â Current gen games seem to want you to pump hours into them to get anything out of them.

My gaming time is limited.Â I live 90 mins away from my workplace, don't get home till 8pm, then work some more when I get home.Â My weekends are usually busy so to get time to play for even just 30 mins is difficult.Â Games like Fallout 4, the Witcher 3, GTA V etc I would love to play, just cannot devote the time to them.

Retro gaming on the other hand is on the whole made for quickÂ pick up and play action, which fits in much better with my available game time.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on January 12, 2016, 11:40:52 AM

Ive gone a little NES crazy this week, My sister had one as a kid so I had played a few titles BITD. My aim at the moment for the NES is picking games with decent game play rather than a scattershot approach. I love 8 Bit consoles, ive got 18 NES titles and 41 SMS titles now. I didn't expect Rush N Attack and Life Force to have simultaneous two player action, and its always interesting to comparing similar machines titles. I must of put in three hours today testing those games in the picture.

Very nice! Gauntlet II is excellent!

Post by: Vadergb on March 06, 2016, 10:49:10 AM

I was really pleased with Gradius and Life force, both were really playable and I will return to both.

Gauntlet 2 was bought for my recently acquired Four Score adapter, Game play seemed good, Decent speech but no ingame music.

Double Dragon 2 was surprisingly good, with simultaneous two player action. The variety of moves were well implemented on the two button joypad.

Tetris is only slightly worse and I mean a fraction to the sublime Gameboy Tetris, I did play if for a good two hours on Game B, Speed 9 Height 5.

Operation Wolf was ok on joypad, but I need to dig out a Nintendo Zapper and play it on my CRT to see how good it really is.

Nice looking games. What's the story on Blow Em Out?

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on March 28, 2016, 15:18:42 PM

It's a one screen platform game. Originally it was released as a NES game but the Genesis version is an upgrade. The story: Blow 'em Out is a single-screen platform game with 10 levels. It's your birthday – and you have to blow out all of the candles on your birthday cake.

Quote from: "Shadowrunner"I bought a new toy :)

Okay, after getting stuck in customs for two weeks (ebay's global shipping program is a joke!) this finally showed up.

I fired it up last night and tried out a few games, and for the most part I really like it. It seems to be well made and it has a good weight to it. I tried all the adapters and they all work good. They're pretty big though, especially the NES one, so portability takes a bit of a hit but for playing around the house it works great. I really like being able to use the Super Gameboy with this and I think that will be getting the most play.

My only complaints are the d-pad could be a little bit smaller and the shoulder buttons would be better if they were behind the cartridge slot instead of in front of it. I think if you were playing for a long period of time and had to use the shoulder buttons a lot your hands would get pretty cramped.

Overall I'm very happy with it and with the amount of systems this will work with it was a great deal

Still, nice addition to your collection Saturn.

Post by: Saturn on April 22, 2016, 13:41:55 PM

Thanks amigos.
Shadowrunner, my plan is to unbox all my Skunkboards and trial fit them inside the clear shells. Then drill a hole the size of the cable (not the plug) and fit the inside with a mechanism to prevent the cable from being pulled out of the socket by accident. Then, seal everything up in place and work on the labels.
If the mini usb cable that came with the Skunkboard is too long, I'll look for substitutes. Not sure about any of this but will be investigating soon. I'll post whatever I find in case someone else wants to do similar later on.
Al said he'll have the clear shells in AA store soon. :38:

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)

Particularly if they add LED's inside! Maybe someone will make a Christmas cart for the Jaguar to do that! That'd be neat, like it's done for the NES every year. Maybe someone can make Bentley Bear's Christmas Quest.

Back again haven't had a chance to try the engine yet as it didn't arrive with an av cable and typically im at the other end of the uk as it arrived today. However that gives me something to look forward to when I get back along with pacland a game I've loved since playing at butlins as a nipper in the mid 80s. Shienryu is not what I was expecting but I guess I have been spoilt as my saturn shooter collection is nearly complete. Also waiting for vampire hunter turning up as that only leaves 3 capcom vs 2d fighters to get,waiting for sf zero 3 at a good price is very frustrating. Anyhow peace all

Warrior is a homebrew release. There were a number of issues that delayed it, including the overlay. The first overlays were not up to par and they had to be redone. Creating Vectrex overlays is not an easy thing. It's hard to get them colored well enough to be effective when playing games.

Great info. If I ever get them in use as intended, I'll keep this in mind.
As for now it would be more trouble than it's worth to unbox all the games and apply them so the plan for now is to leave them intact. May grab a couple more sets just to have on hand before they suddenly and unexpectedly disappear from the market. Never to be seen again like many other Jaguar products.

I got mine as well. It does look great. A lot of effort was placed on getting this to be a nice release given how well packaged it is!

I couldn't agree more. On the one I opened, was surprised to find the white cardboard insert fully intact without one of the sides touching the cart being folded back. I'd have to assume these get tossed around pretty good during that long ride but maybe they do actually practice care in transporting items from time to time :)

The game comes with an extra box (flat) because of a "typo." Here's mine...

And yeah zapiy, what Trek said. I'm not sure what exactly the typo is but was glad to see them in there. 8)

The typo is on the 64-BIT part of the logo. The flat box doesn't say 64-BIT, it says 64-8IT. :)

Nice stuff 8) I bet that Tetris/Dr. Mario cart could whittle away the hours. I remember playing Tetris for about 16hrs straight one day w/ my older brother back in the early 90's. Didn't even notice the time that had gone by it was so much fun.
Add in the addictiveness of Dr Mario and the SNES unit would be pushing 100Â° in no time :D

Great looking games, TrekMD. Is Millipede even playable w/ the 5200's controller?

This came in today. Been PMing a guy periodically about it for almost two years. It's the special edition with over 100 levels. Can't wait to hit some of the 'new' ones. Played a bit earlier and was immediately blown away by the different music and sound effects. Noticed that parts of the lines the little egg guy travels along disappear and reappear like a glitch. Starting the game from the beginning is just like the original (http://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5903.msg82308#msg82308) unencrypted version and the newly 'fixed' (http://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5903.msg82705#msg82705) encrypted version by @avick and myself.
Guess I need to put in that last password, work my way back through the brutally difficult last level and see what lies ahead 8)

Post by: TrekMD on August 09, 2016, 04:18:29 AM

Thanks Saturn. Yes, Millipede can be played using the 5200 controller but it can also be played with the trackball controller. :)

Painter is one awesome game. I have it both in cart and CD release. :)

Post by: Saturn on August 09, 2016, 04:51:53 AM

Thanks amigos. I missed the original run in 2008 but got interested back in 2014. Was a long wait but the package is the real deal and I'm ecstatic about adding it to the collection. Big Painter fan back in 2004 so this is icing.

No offense about the controller TrekMD. Wasn't downing the 5200 as I've never even played one. Just had heard it wasn't the greatest controller and know the action can get intense quick in Millipede. (Re-read my post and it sounded harsh)
That's cool about the trackball btw.

Post by: Saturn on August 09, 2016, 11:27:16 AM

Here's what I know (for reference)
The original release in 2004 was a port of the ST version (http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-st-painter_10177.html) from one of the authors, Gordon Gibson. He couldn't get it encrypted so released it as an unencrypted CD, then the encryption was found but useless as there was still no way to incorporate it into the original source code.

In 2008 a petition (http://atariage.com/forums/topic/122174-will-we-ever-see-a-re-release-of-painter/) was started to garner interest in a re-release and user made levels were included in a cart.

In Oct, 2014 I inquired privately about buying a copy if any were still available or could me made.

In Sept, 2015 I posted the level passwords and revisited (http://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5903.msg82473#msg82473) the source code. One thing led to another and with the use of ULS (http://reboot.atari.org/new-reboot/uls.html)/JiFFI (http://reboot.atari.org/new-reboot/jiffi.html), an encrypted version on CD was created.

In July, 2016 one Painter SE was available and arrived on 8/8/16.

Sorry I've been a little busy recently so not been on :-[ , I got the items below at the Revival Solstice event at Walsall recently.

I also just received a Atari composite mod that allows a VCS or 7800 to have composite out rather than plain old RF. Ive got to choose between a 2600 Junior or 7800 to mod, I dont really want to kill my 2600 Woody.

Yep, very nice. If it was me, I'd mod the 7800. That way you can play both 2600 and 7800 games with a much better picture :)

Nice finds. And that is a tough choice. I've yet to mod any of my consoles but I may need to given how new TV's will likely have no more connectors for coaxial cables. I do think the 7800 may be the better choice for you as you can play both 2600 and 7800 games with a nicer image.

I asked for an Amstrad CPC for Christmas and I got this lovely Amstrad 6128. Its my first 8-bit computer with a disk drive. I also got the 6128 Usb Lite which is a floppy disk drive emulator.

The original disk drive works and most the 3" floppies do too. The CPC is a nice Z80 based machine which fits nicely between my Spectrums and C64s. Very colourful, nice Yamaha AY sound.

VERY nice! That would look good in any room and be a center piece of conversation. (thinking out loud based on my Jaguar kiosk)

Ordered the Soccer Kid/Frog Feast combo cart from Songbird 2 days ago and it just arrived 8)

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on January 27, 2017, 00:56:06 AM

That's cool. Soccer Kid is a fun game.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Saturn on January 27, 2017, 03:25:28 AM

It's nice. The simple selection menu is perfect.
I played some Frog Feast trying to get that double I never managed to get on the CD version way back. Got it twice lol. Someone said they got three flies in one jump but I don't see how that's possible since there are only two at a given time.
The manual is all Soccer Kid. No info on FF in it. But yeah, the clear cart is beautiful. Happy to support Songbird and add this gem to the fold :)

Yeah the email said about 8 days for delivery but I'm not far away from Piko so it got here lightning fast. I wasn't expecting it so, was a nice surprise. And the package itself was another. Very nice all the way around :)

My Colecovision arcade controller that I backed on Kickstarter finally arrived!

(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a559/CGs_pics/Mobile%20Uploads/20170211_191720_zpsvbilen2f.jpg)

It's compatible with the original Colecovision, CV Flashback, Atari 2600, 7800, and I haven't tested it yet but it should work with my XE too. It was pretty expensive but the quality is great and it's very versatile.

I picked these Neo Geo games up a while ago but forgot to post pics. Neither of these got CD releases either so I don't have copies of them already. Great games too!

Post by: Shadowrunner on February 24, 2017, 19:14:30 PM

Thanks :) Originally I had just backed the KS for a controller adapter that had the number pad and ports to plug in other controllers, but in the end I decided to go for the complete arcade stick instead and changed my pledge. Very happy I did!

That's the only retro stuff this week, hope to pick some more up on Sunday

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Saturn on February 25, 2017, 05:24:37 AM

Received two Atari Jaguar rotary controllers I bought from Machine over on AA a couple weeks ago.
Tested them on Rebooteroids and found the knobs to be very comfortable and light weight.
Have plans to replace the 2 Tyrant rotaries on my Jag kiosk with these at some point for some 2 player Tempest Duel 8)
With the modded amplifier and Klipsch surround sound setup, this oughtta break a(nother) window or two :D

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on February 25, 2017, 05:34:51 AM

I didn't realize the rotaries were still being made. That is cool. I have two different ones. Yo got a pic of these new rotaries you got, @Saturn?

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Shadowrunner on February 25, 2017, 06:39:37 AM

Great score on the rotaries! I really need to get one.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Saturn on February 25, 2017, 06:55:48 AM

No pic yet. Been meaning to get a few before I posted in the thread but haven't yet.
I'd highly recommend these if he's got any left. Out of all the other ones I have and have tried, this knob feels the best. Doesn't have the clicking sound or feel but is smooth and lightweight.
Will get some pics soon.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on February 25, 2017, 13:37:33 PM

Cool. I'd be curious to see what these look like. I have two different ones and one is my preferred because it is very smooth.

Thanks! I love 'em. Told Machine I might swap them out with the Tyrant rotaries on my Jaguar kiosk at some point.
They have some kind of socket so a chip can be swapped out if it ever goes south. That's a bonus in itself :D

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)

Well, here is my impulse buy! I arrived yesterday and I'm very excited! I've been wanting one of these for years! I haven't opened the box yet but plan to over the weekend. It came complete with 6 games.

Thank you! Now I need to get either a multicart for it or some additional games. I think the multicart will be the best thing right now. There is one, right? I think I have seen something about it.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Saturn on March 08, 2017, 01:32:12 AM

I'm assuming this one would cover it.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on March 08, 2017, 01:34:25 AM

Yeah, that's what I found. I have to read on it because it seems like you need the programmer cart and separate carts to program.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Saturn on March 08, 2017, 01:37:03 AM

Ugh, sounds like the end user has to do all the work then. That's the only one I've heard of so not sure if the easily flashable type exist.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on March 08, 2017, 01:39:25 AM

Yes it does but that's OK. I've deal with the CC3 and CC2, which would be somewhat similar. This one does seem to require one more thing with the user having to make carts. Since they are reusable, I guess one can program a number of games on the carts (they vary in size) and then change them around if need be.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Saturn on March 08, 2017, 01:44:32 AM

Good luck with it. Sounds like it'd be worth any amount of trouble :)

So, that upscales the output to 1080p?

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Shadowrunner on March 11, 2017, 19:40:44 PM

Cool, interested to hear how it works for you. I got a cheap one as part of a bundle one time and the picture looked good but it messed up the colour. Everything that should have been blue was bright green which did not look good lol.

In theory yes. I recently saw a topic about these little boxes on Facebook and decided it was time to give one a go. I know there is a Japanese box out there which does do the job well, but it is expensive and the instructions are not translated. The fors and against make your head spin so I will see for myself. And yes, in theory the analog signal is converted to digital etc etc. It may be shit lol I will let you know 😉

Wow, well I go into this with no technical know how but as the average consumer. It is a simple box so set-up is easy. I will try to get some decent pictures both before and after but I have not had much luck photographing the tv but I will try. I did get a composite cable a while back which was much more convenient to connect than the scart. My understanding is scart gives a superior image but I can't tell the difference to be honest. With this little gadget, the difference should be much more significant. I will try tomorrow if time and energy permit.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on March 11, 2017, 23:21:20 PM

That is cool. If it works properly, that'll be a nice way to upgrade the output of the consoles. Right now I'm debating whether or not to mod my older systems to at least do A/V output since I only have one TV left that will work with them. It may be time to do the mods.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Saturn on March 11, 2017, 23:26:22 PM

My tv numbers are dwindling as well. Bought a cheap upscaler from Amazon but the Jaguar looks like ass on a 32" lcd. I need to get a proper one that'll suffice but the Japanese one Cryptic mentioned is too expensive imo and they aren't being made anymore (so I've read) due to certain parts not being manufactured any longer. So, that doesn't sound like a good alternative as the price will probably sky rocket. If anyone finds a good product please share the knowledge! :)

thats the thing with collecting, you learn new things all the time.

Now as for that upscaller, I found hardly any difference to be honest. I have a few picture on my phone which I will try and upload. I will say that Doom seemed a bit brighter and crisper but overall, I wouldn't bother. Oh and the scart lead fits in loosely so it has to be placed down carefully. I had no problems with the signal and the audio was fine.

Ok the first picture is with the scart cable plugged directly into the TV
The second is via the upscaller/HDMI

I am aware that it is wide screen. I normally set the screen to 4.3 so as to avoid stretching.

That's the dilemma. One can only hope that 📺 manufacturers realise the need for good quality built in upscallers. Alas, I suspect we have already passed that point.

Thanks guys, I am getting there with my collection and I know there are guides for DIY rotary conversions but I don't have the time and this looked decent. I liked the fact the guy produced a new box, albeit huge lol but it is part of the fun.

Post by: TrekMD on April 18, 2017, 00:03:32 AM

Yes, I think this is the only one that has come boxed this way. That's cool as far as I'm concerned. Makes it look quite professional. :)

Some great finds. I do a pickup video every month, but I'll also post images of anything sweet on here seperately,

I just got this controller for Â£4 at a car boot sale. Looks great, like a PlayStation console with buttons on it. I wanted an arcade stick for shooter games. Played it with Mobile Light Force and it was good. The size makes it sit on your well whilst gaming. The guy who sold it wanted rid of it quickly because it was big and clunky.

Yes, it was originally going to be called Sharknado but they had to change the name. The extras are really cool. :)

Millennium Racer - Y2 K Fighters was the recently found Dreamcast game? When console support from the manufacturer dies overnight like the DC, Xbox and WiiU it makes you wonder how many completed and near completed games are out there.

Yes it is. It's a cool game that should have seen release back then.

Just added a Phillips CD-I to my collection. It came with the light gun and the elusive gamepad controller. (the controller that actually looks like... a controller)

I've got some good games for it (was waiting for a system to play them on) including Mutant Rampage Bodyslam, which is a neat 2D side scrolling beat em up. Also thought I had The Apprentice, (platform game) but when I opened the case it seems that a Merlin's Apprentice disc was actually inside.

The console was not working when I received it. I had it playing for a few minutes by pressing the lid sensor with a stylus. But later it died. After I wedged up the disc spinner with some force (and trial and error) it came to life again and started working normally.

I intend to do a video about the console and my pickups. Assuming it's still working when it comes to recording it.

I saw mention of them in one of the three Jaguar groups I am in on Facebook. It was advertised on eBay and I got the last one, sorry. The memory track I already have one but this was new and a lot less than the one currently advertised on eBay so, I am quite happy 😊

I had gotten three of these games without a box and manual but I received the boxes and manuals today so here they are. Sea Battle is a homebrew game based on Battleship and that one came from Russia.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: VictorLazarus on June 29, 2017, 18:36:15 PM

That is a very good idea. The stick on the controller keeps dropping down, and I have to pull it hard to turn left. Seems like an easy fix though, as I can probably stick something under the joystick section to keep it up. Still playable as it is, so I might not bother fixing it. Looks like it was previously repaired as the controller is held together by tape.

Yes it is. It's as arcade accurate as it comes both in gameplay and graphics. This is the version that comes with a POKEY chip. There is an XM version also but that depends on the chip in the XM unit. Since the XM is not out yet (though work on it has been ongoing and there was a recent update from Curt), figured I'd get this one.

Atari impressed me in their day but also frustrated and annoyed me by the lack of support. I was especially miffed at how here in the UK, we didn't get access to some of the better games especially on 8-bit. However, as you hint at, that game featuring the cutest bear of all time could have sold in the thousands or even millions! The mind boggles at the thought. Very pleased that a fellow BB fan has that game. I hope to see a review from you 😀🤞

TrekMD - I love your love for homebrew carts, they do seem to get more professional each year.

In fact I recently picked up Protector/Yasi for the Vectrex, two great homebrew games - A quick video of it running on my Vectrex is below.

https://twitter.com/VaderGB/status/883476999502786565 (https://twitter.com/VaderGB/status/883476999502786565)

I also picked up a DivMMC cart for the Spectrum. Its from @futureis8bit and its jumperless, works on pretty much every spectrum and includes a Kempston joystick interface.

So much envy for US games. PS1 cases are better, fits on the shelves better than our EU thick PS1 jewel cases, and more easily replaceable. And the PS2 games have better artwork. Not to mention all the above play at 60hz.

Cool games, I just looked around my game room thinking I had Atari Anthology, but I don't, so now I must get it!

Post by: AmigaJay on July 31, 2017, 08:21:32 AM

I was pondering a Neo Geo AES with SD Flash but decided it was just a tad too much, so i ordered another Neo Geo CDZ after owning one around 2000-2.

Will set-up a blog like my CD32 one, I've started making some nice jewel case covers with the spine intact as i prefer the look as new, i don't understand all these DVD covers for the systems that never used that size case?!

After that, will poke around and see what dev tools are available for hacks etc

Oh, bought a NeoGeo Pocket Color the other week too, so I've gone all SNK atm :P

(Sorry it took me so long to reply. The image wasn't working.)

I attached an image and did a bit of comparing.

To the left is a game in a standard CD style case, didn't have any US Dreamcast or PS1, so I used a light gun bundle copy of Virtua Cop 2. (Saturn games are mostly in cardboard longboxes over here, but I digress...)

Next to it is a PAL Dreamcast game. Charge N' Blast. Didn't realise the rest of the world used smaller cases for these until recently. These are very annoying, and the hinges break easily and cases are hard to come by to replace.

Then there are a few single disc PS1 cases. Like the Dreamcast jewel case, they are about twice the width of a CD case, so you get half as many on a shelf. No idea why, maybe for easy visual separation from the other territories, or safer shipping. Who knows.

First case is Crusader, slightly shorter with black plastic at the top and bottom. Next is Wild Arms, a little taller with clear plastic on the top and bottom, this is much more common. Finally Tekken is in a cardboard case. Which is very strange.

That is so odd. It's not as if they have more stuff in these, do they? Maybe the manuals are bigger in various languages?

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Shadowrunner on August 09, 2017, 01:28:38 AM

I have a couple PAL Dreamcast games and the manual in them would never fit into a NTSC case. Our manuals only have one or two languages in them but theirs have every language in Europe so the case needs to be much bigger.

I got my Colecovision. What a system for early 80's arcade games. Absolutely loving it and it even looks decent in RF.
The Texas Instruments SN76489 soundchip meant many of the games sounded exactly the same as there arcade counterparts. Absolutely love Pepper 2/

Funny enough I knew the guy who sold it thru Ebay was on twitter so had a nice exchange with him. Loose Pal carts look pretty cheap so I will definitely look at adding Burger Time, Time Pilot, Bezerk and Mouse Trap quite quickly. Those pads though, I have played a few games on my 7800 pad which two buttons work fine.

Looks great! It really is too bad that the controllers are so bad though. I read about using a 7800 pad but I've never tried it. I bought an arcade stick that has a number pad built into it. Works great but it was pretty expensive, especially considering most games don't use it.

I've seen and want that stick. I could imagine they were pretty expensive and pretty much exclusive use to the Colecovision and 7800.

Post by: Shadowrunner on August 18, 2017, 17:26:01 PM

I got it through the Kickstarter where the price was $100, but that was a KS exclusive discount. It also works with the 2600, 7800, and Colecovision Flashback though, so for that price I don't think it was that bad a deal. Eventually they will be up on the Edladdin (http://www.edladdin.com/main.sc) site for everybody to buy, but I think he said the price would be going up to at least $150. He makes a great product and it's all done by himself with quality components, but I just don't know if I could ever see myself paying that much for a controller.

Cool! Those Jaguar overlays would be nice to have.

It's a nice set and it is well made as well. It's cool to have the overlays for games that didn't get them originally.

Got these in last week:

Played Commando a lot over the weekend. Only version I'd played prior was for the Nintendo and used to have a blast on that one so hammered this for hours. Badlands was good too but I didn't spend nearly as much time on it.

This baby arrived last Friday. Can't wait to tear into it!

It's been a while since I've been able to report a new retro purchase, but I just bought Gun.Smoke for the NES. It's a top-down vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up by Capcom based on the American Wild West. Given that the genre is mostly dominated by space shooters, I like to find the outliers that find ways to apply familiar shoot-'em-up mechanics to atypical settings. Once I get some game time under my belt, I'll come back with my first impressions.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)

I have heard of that game for the NES. In fact, I think it's one of those in the Let's Compare section of the forum.

That's a great game! (I did s let's play for it) Was lucky enough to snag myself a copy a while ago for NES. I'll also say that the full arcade version is on the Capcom Classics Collection for PS2 / Xbox. (I got the PS2 version recently and it's very good) If I was at home I'd post a picture of them, maybe will do later. :)

Ah, the famous Frogz 64. I didnâ€™t buy that one, I was very disappointed about the packaging for his other title it put me off. I am a bit touchy with that sort of thing. Bring new titles to the fore by all means but donâ€™t skimp on the packaging with inferior quality boxes and ink jet printed card/instructions.
Still, it looks like a fun game based on Frogger, what are your thoughts Trek?

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on December 25, 2017, 18:35:09 PM

The game works well enough. It doesn't push the Jaguar in any fashion but it is a nice clone of Frogger. This is a CD release, so the packaging is good.

ok, nice to know.

As for packaging, Fast Food has a box larger than the normal box sizes and is thinner. It looks like it was folded by hand, competent but not what I would like to see. The CD version is nice, as you say but, the instruction card is good, I suppose, just cut by hand with scissors presumably. Minor details for some and Iâ€™m not knocking the fact this chap went to a lot of trouble to produce these games in the first place. For that I applaud him.

Well, I have finally made the leap from Atari to Nintendo and after a number of dead ends, I have now placed an order with Nintendo UK for the SNES Classic Mini. I wonâ€™t physically get my hands on it till the 25th Jan 2018 at the earliest but I am looking forward to discovering the world according to Link. Pictures will follow 😀

Post by: Cryptic33 on January 14, 2018, 10:01:46 AM

Thanks guys.

Yes, the mini is a great way to introduce people to the SNES. Iâ€™ve always wanted to play Zelda and I can now see for myself what all the fuss was about with StarFox. That said, there are quite a few good games on this system so I feel it is good value for money and 16-bit games are more pleasing to the eye and more engaging than the Atari Flashback offerings by a long way. This will be my year of discovery, retro style 😉

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: VictorLazarus on January 14, 2018, 15:36:09 PM

Nice. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a SNES classic and it's great. A few games on there that were never released in my region, some games I didn't have also. (And obviously one game never released)

As close to the real thing as you can get, and looks great naturally on a modern TV. If you were to get those games individually at today's prices, you'd pay a lot more.

That is my logic. I loved my Atari 8-bit computer and the incredible games for it but the leap to 16-bit back then was far too expensive for me. So, even though I had played a little on a friendâ€™s MegaDrive, I never got to try out a SNES so this is a perfect introduction for me and letâ€™s face it, Nintendo are probably the best at making games you want to play over and over. 😀

Not sure if the PSP is really retro but it doesn't feel modern either so I'm putting this here.

I bought a PSP very late in it's life and mostly just downloaded PS1 games to play on it, so I decided it was time to start building the collection for it. Great time to do it too as the game prices are really cheap!

Great pick ups Shadowrunner! 8)

I got in 3 clear cart Jaguar games the other day. Astrostorm (2017 updated version), Escape 2042 & a combo pack of Jeff Minter Classics. Llamatron 2112/Revenge of the Mutant Camels. This combo pack has taken 90% of the time I've been able to play. Insanely fun 8)
No pics yet though.

Thanks I havenâ€™t tried any of then yet but, I saw a video of Tube SE a long time ago and was very impressed. Fallen Angels, as you know, is a Jag version of Rescue on Fractalus. Both these titles interest me greatly and now I am back home, they need to be played. Gem Racer looks reasonable so I will of course test that also 😀

My humble addition this week is a book:

Yes, Iâ€™ve had a quick browse through it and it has some interesting detail and great graphics.

In all honesty, I am not that interested in the Flashback series but as I have a flashback 4, I figured this would be a good addition should I ever sell the console.

The book has nice info on the games. It really would make for a nice guide for the 2600 itself. :)

It would although, I have seen other books dedicated to the 2600. I guess tying this in with the flashback consoles gives it a more modern feel rather than simply reflecting the past. Quite clever when you think about it. The Jaguar encyclopaedia did a similar job except the Jaguar has not yet been miniaturised. Hmm 🤔😉

Cool stuff guys! So does the 32X version of Doom have more levels?

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on March 15, 2018, 02:56:41 AM

Nice stuff! So, those versions of Doom are adapted from other systems for the Jaguar, right?

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: Saturn on March 15, 2018, 06:44:13 AM

The 32X version of DOOM was a port of the Jaguar version, which was the first port from PC lol. So, basically it's a port of the port it was ported from-after that port was ported from the PC (http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/s603/SaturnRVG/Misc/Emoticons/laugh_zpsqfgqldgz.png)
32X Doom only has 17 levels compared to the Jag's 24. The map data was similar for each with only a few differences that I 'patched' up on the fly in order to make it work. Took about 8 hours to convert and hack them into the rom. The Jag's version is more complex and still the better of the two but it was cool to technically be able to play Sega on Jaguar 8)

The Saturn Levels are user made maps that fall within the Jaguar's ability to load and run without a massive amount of editing. Some of what I've found are so freakin huge they'd NEVER even load, let alone be playable. And the editing would take ages, adding walls and doors to minimize areas to be enclosed enough to play. At one point I contemplated attempting to edit a single huge map that would take up all the Jaguar Doom ROM's map data space and release it as one hell of a single, overly complicated, incredibly huge map... but declined once reality set in and I realized how much time would be invested.

Great stuff though! Now I have enough cart labels to double the amount of ROMs already in existence onto real carts.

I have a special retro purchase here. You see, I had a the binary for Activision's Sequest hacked to turn it into seaQuest DSV (it's just a visual hack) and then I had Greyfox help me get the image for the label cleaned up so I could have the label made. I sent this to Albert over at Atari Age who made the cart for me. So, this is a rather unique cart for that reason. :)

I heard the whole set was $800 with the clear shells(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx267/Saturn025/tongue.gif)
That's actually less than when they were first offered.

Played TIF 2 on PSX and TIF 2005 on PS2 lately, good soccer games.

Great sets there TrekMD (as always)

I got in Midnight Resistance and Flying Shark yesterday. MR is HARD! Hoping to make some progress in that one soon. Feels a lot like Contra on NES. Perfect formula.. 8)

Ive picked a few things up recently.

The GB Boy is just a GB Colour clone with a backlight. For Â£31 its been the most used retro related item Ive used recently.

Lots of GB, Gamecube and Vetrex love recently. Got the two multicarts for the Vectrex and Colecovision pretty cheap too.

Picked up my 3rd(!) Sega Saturn.

It's the one in the middle - a mk1 JPN model. My white mk2 doesn't play the JPN version of Outrun which is a known issue. But it means I can now have a JP console with the AR cart permanently plugged in to play US games, unoptimised PAL games, and the 4MB fighter games by Capcom that I have - without messing about swapping cartridges as the Saturn cartridge port can be twitchy.

The black one on the right is a mk1 PAL model which will be getting less use now. But I'll probably keep it for old time's sake and for playing the several optimised PAL games I have such as Sega Rally and VF2.

Thanks to TrekMD's post with Jag Zombies, I picked up these 3. He mailed them the day before Florence hit and they arrived yesterday. I cut it close :P
The postal system near crushed the box containing Frogz and Fast Food so both game boxes suffered some damage but the carts play perfectly so not worried. All three are pretty entertaining but Zombies is my favorite. Great stuff 8)

Learnt a lesson today. Got a new Sega controller. The picture on eBay did not look great but was describtion was a six button controller. Got it today and turns out to be only a three button with turbo buttons. The controller looks great and works fine but it is rather frustrating.

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on December 10, 2018, 18:12:58 PM

Well, that's unfortunate. I guess the seller didn't know it was not a true 6-button controller.

Got my Tanglewood in yesterday. Saw the Big Evil Corp logo on the box and was delighted.
Been playing on Steam occasionally with the free key they sent out mid August but not near enough time spent on this gem.
Just glad it's here!
Had this # sealing it. I haven't opened it yet as I'm not sure where my Genesis is at but will soon enough.

Crumbled and bought the atari classics thing for the switch. Played it for a few hours yesterday.

I am curious to know why Battlezone is missing. (And possibly others ive not noticed yet :) )

For that matter why isnt Space Invaders for the 2600 on there :(

(Im really going to have to get some kind of retro pie nonsense sorted out :) )

Nothing physical to show but I recently bought Heroes of Might and Magic 1-4 and also Tender Loving Care on GOG.

Having never played any Might and Magic games before, these have taken some trial and error to figure out what I'm doing.

That's cool. Are you enjoying the games despite the trial and error?

GOG tells me I've almost played it for 6 hours already, so I must be :D.

Many early attempts I couldn't even defeat a single enemy. Now I have an easy game going where I have an idea of what I'm doing and managing to keep a strong army for now.

I have my eye on some more old games, maybe you've heard of them and have any thoughts on what they are like?

Dragon Wars
Drakkhen
Realms of Arkania 1 & 2
Ultima Underworld 1 & 2
Forgotten Realms - The Archives (this is a D&D game, here's the link https://www.gog.com/game/forgotten_realms_the_archives_collection_one)

18?! Wow! The book is really cool. I even learned for 2600 Christmas games I did not know about. I wish the book was in color, though. The ebook is in color but I guess printing the book in color would be quite costly.

Don't know if this counts, but I eventually ordered a new chair yesterday. Wanted to go with the OMEGA model, but it's limited to people of 180cm size, and the TITAN goes up to 200cm, which is exactly my size. It's also a bit bigger and apparently comfier than the OMEGA.

Read a lot of reviews about gaming/office chairs, and this one seems to be the best overall, has also 4.9/5 rating out of 3.060 reviews.

I didn't know that chairs were made with gaming in mind. I suppose it makes sense.

It isn't a great game tbh but like I said he does have the SNES turtles game as an unlockable so cheapest was to get that game in physical media.

Are they compatible with any other hardware apart from Atari? Guessing no.

Love to be able to play some MAME paddle games from time to time.

If I go by what the box says, they're only compatible with Atari systems. The dual button ones are for the 5200 only.

Alright, I "upgraded" these Vectrex games. New labels and sleeves for VHS cases were made available online for free to replace the simplistic label on the carts as originally released and to give them cases. The only thing missing is some type of manual. In any case, you can see the carts with the original labels (SpideX and and KnightEx, since MineX's label is good enough) and the new labels. They look much nicer!

Post by: davyk on April 26, 2020, 11:44:46 AM

I like that type of thing. I picked the Art of Atari up kind of on a whim. I knew of its existence but was surprised to find it on the shelf in my local HMV. I picked it up there and then knowing I probably paid a few quid extra for that but didn't care.

Classic era Atari - arcade art and 2600 box art is a real love of mine. Nothing matches that for me though JP N64 box art is a bit of a weakness of mine too. Comes close - but the Atari content is wrapped up in nostalgia associated with being a certain age in the late 70s/early 80s. It was a pioneering era too which makes it difficult to beat for me.

The Neo Geo controller also makes it more comfortable to play the games on the mini system. I need to test it on my TV as that would be even better. :)

Loving those boxed keyboard controllers. Something about that Atari packaging colour pallete.

The Capcom Collections are great - Have those though the 1st Vol. is poorly done in PAL - and I'm on the lookout for a JP-NTSC version.

I'm on a Darius thing at the minute on Switch so liking the look of the Megadrive game too. :)

Title: Re: Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)
Post by: TrekMD on September 13, 2020, 16:32:52 PM

I got the Capcom collections using a coupon fro Ebay that discounted $25, so the two of them cost me $6!

Great value there! Both volumes have a pile of excellent content.

I have had a busy year with my business but this is what I've picked up recently.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ElkwZD2XUAEYL0D?format=jpg&name=360x360)

I pre-ordered a Joystick from Retroradionics. It really is lovely and is great on the C64, Vic and Atari 8 Bits.
Lots of different colours to choose from on the website. https://retroradionics.co.uk/#!/ArcadeR-9-pin-ATARI-standard-Joystick/p/168982750/category=0 (https://retroradionics.co.uk/#!/ArcadeR-9-pin-ATARI-standard-Joystick/p/168982750/category=0)

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EZp7GGGXsAATqUJ?format=jpg&name=360x360)

Unocart for the Atari 8 Bit. Nice and easy way of getting games on my Atari 65xe.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EXfE-KoWkAAEnR5?format=jpg&name=360x360)

Treated myself to a RGB modded N64. Looks great on a CRT, also looks good on the OSSC

You mostly use the trackball for arcade games from compilations. :)

I got the final set of patches of Activision and Atari games. I designed the patches for Rampage, Fighter Pilot, Kung Fu Master, and Double Dragon as those games did not have official patches. I also got another book about Atari...

So, I finally upgraded my GBA's screen and went ahead an got a new case for it as well to, essentially, remake it as if it were new. Here's a picture of the original case and the upgraded GBA. The new screen makes the system as different as night and day. No more straining my eyes to play!

And here are two multi carts for the SNES that I got. 280 games between the two carts...

The upgrade of the GBA? $30 for the labor. The kits cost $60.

Here is some new stuff I got. The first four Jaguar games are not new, as I already had them. They just got the "upgrade" treatment with boxes, new labels and manuals.

That Monsterland package looks lovely.

Re that patch - if there's one I'd like signed by the dev like that, it's Kaboom! What a game. I still play it from time to time. Nothing quite like it.

Post by: TrekMD on December 19, 2021, 13:10:30 PM

Yes, the Monsterland package does look amazing!
That is a patch I designed for an AA member, since that game did not have a patch. Colin saw it at a convention Machine was attending and he signed that one for me.

Just made a big purchase for the man cave. Got a pinball machine :) it is an old tropic isle pinball machine from 1962 that has been refurbished, repainted to a Disney theme and had a modern digital score screen added. It a lot of fun to play and the perfect addition to the many geeky things I collect.

Here is my latest retro purchase (I think we can count the Xbox 360 as retro now) I was looking for racing games that play like the PS2 games Motorstorm but for the Xbox 360 and these three are what cames up online. So far from playing they are pretty fun games but I would nail'd is the closest to Motorstorm.
