What are the latest retro games you have added to your collection?
all sound awesomeÂ
(http://s940.photobucket.com/albums/ad242/zapiy/)
Got this the other day for a fiver from a mate, used to own it ages ago and swapped it for a G&W Handheld.
picked up PowerStone and Psychic Force 2012 for Dreamcast and Strider II for my megadrive.
(strangely I'd just picked up powerstone collection for the PSP the week before )
Just popped to the shops and slid into the local charity shop. And bagged these.
Excuse my iPods poor pics. Lol
Now to hunt for my Game Gear.
My most recent retro purchases:
- Dinosaur Island, Shutokou Battle 97, and Toshinden URA for the Saturn
- Outlaws of the Lost Dynasty cart for the Sega ST-V (arcade version of the Saturn architecture w/extra RAM)
- Arcade Card Duo
Just got jap game SHUTOKOU BATTLE and a new and sealed JET SET RADIO for my Dreamcast for £4 each
Quote from: "Minerals"Just got jap game SHUTOKOU BATTLE and a new and sealed JET SET RADIO for my Dreamcast for £4 each
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). Not played anything from this franchise before.Â
picked up NFS: Road Challenge ps1 & an xbox tip book
I bought the following for SMD:
Ranger X
Stargate
And the following for 32x:
Star Wars Arcade
Doom 32x
Virtua Racing Deluxe
Metal Head
Cosmic Carnage
I wish I could capture successfully from the Mega Drive but the picture comes out all wrong on my laptop or I'd be spamming my youtube channel with tonnes of awesome 16/32bit vids!!
got a slightly tatty copy of Shining in the Dark for MD
probably more for the collection than to play
Side Pocket 3 (sealed) Jap Import - Sega Saturn
My latest purchase is Candy Catcher, a homebrew for the 2600.
Just received Stargate, Combat (again!Â
) indy 500 and Adventure with instruction booklet for £1and carriage.
VCS
Just brought
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 new and sealed for Dreamcast for just under £10Â
I got Hydro Thunder in Wales for £2.
Quote from: "zapiy"I got Hydro Thunder in Wales for £2.

Mario 64...for the DS - so only semi retro
Quote from: "CeefaxOfDelphi"Mario 64...for the DS - so only semi retro
Hmm, maybe Crystal Mines for the DS also counts.Â
Tech Romancer on Dreamcast as well.
(on the below - crystal mines look amusing - seems it was US only)
I've not brought anything for awhile but was given a box of PS1 games the other day including tomb raider 2,tenchu,hogs of war,driver one and 2,tekken1,2,3 and many more
was well pleased lol
Just had a quick look on ebay and saw this bundle ending in 59 seconds, just managed to get my bid in on time. Not bad for £5.99:

Just bought:
Last Blade MVS cart (upgrade from my NGCD version... no more load times!)
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)
Only $10 each, but postage from China was almost $20. They should get here sometime in May.
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.
Right, thats my new project..
Will start a new thread so not hijacking this to much...
Skies Of Arcadia NSTC-U (for VGA compat)
Strider (SMS)
After Burner 2 (SMD)
Fire Pro Wrestling D (SDC)
no more for a while with any luck! Though if I were to find the money i'll be getting Supreme Warrior for the 32x, the Mega CD version has NOT aged well at all lol
Megadrive
NBA Live '97
N64
WCW/NWO Revenge
WWF No Mercy
PS1
Mortal Kombat 3
Everybodys golf 2
Bust a Move 4
Crash Bandicoot 2
Crash bandicoot 3
Family Games Compendium
Mickys Wild Adventure
Pac-Man World
Pandemonium
Pandemonium 2
Populous : the Beginning
Q*Bert
Robocod
Spiderman 2 Enter: Electro
Time Crisis Project Titan
Ms Pac-Man Maze Madness
All for £1 each.....WIN!!!!
Just to add to my previous list I found some more retro bargains, again at a local charity shop.
Loaded - Sega Saturn
Colony wars - PS1
Battlestations - PS1
Firestorm Thunderhawk 2 - PS1
And on opening the cases found there were extra discs in there too for Wipeout and LMA Manager. I love charity shopsÂ
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
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
thats what I mean, like a hd makeover or update for a newer platform, would've been nice to see the finished product
just picked up Nightmare Creatures II for my DC - can play until next week though! torture!
I have managed to get quite a hoard over the last couple of days.
The first lot was a bundle I picked up yesterday for £16 off a friend who was thinning out his collection.
The Simpsons: Barts Nightmare - Megadrive
Axis - Megadrive Jap
Fire Mustang - Megadrive Jap
Altered Beast - Megadrive Jap
Back to the Future 3 - Master System
Pac Mania - Master System
Hybrid Heaven (cartridge Misprint with Turok Label) - N64
Mystic Quest Legend - Snes
Dr Mario - Gameboy
Primal Rage - Gameboy
N64 Logic 3 Trident Pad (Boxed)
Snes Action Replay Pro (Boxed with books and instructions)
The second lot I managed to pick up today from charity shops all for £1 each.
Sol Feace/Cobra Command - Mega CD
Silpheed - Mega CD
Road Avenger - Mega CD
Sega Classics Arcade Collection - Mega CD
Shadow of Memories - PS2
Zool - Amiga (boxed, complete & near mint)
The Ball Game - Atari ST (sealed)
Potsworth & Co - Atari ST (sealed)
Xiphos - Atari ST
The Viking Child Prophecy - Atari ST
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.
Some great finds there fella.
hey guys, I've been doing a little digging with the Mega CD and I hadn't realised how many awesome games had come out for it in the PAL region!! I got Soul Star and Batman Returns the other day but I'm currently bidding on the following:
Battlecorps
Thunderhawk
Novastorm
Robo Alleste
any other games I should be getting? I've already got the following so if anyone can suggest some that I should think about that I haven't already got that'd be awesome. I did bid on Final Fight but I failed
games I have:
Sonic CD
Earthworm Jim SE
Supreme Warrior
Ground Zero Texas
Road Avenger
Soul Feace
Cobra Command
Surgical Strike
World Cup USA 94
Eternal Champions Challenge From The Dark Side
awesome, thanks man, Core design did seem to like the MCD didn't they? I'll look into those ones
yeah? which games did they do on the JAG? I'm drawing a blank, my memory is poo lol
aaah yes, sorry the obvious one was Soul Star, but I guess I thought you meant that some titles had made it to market rather than incomplete
That really sucks! I can't believe someone would steal a game at an event.
That is shocking. I am seeing someone about some megadrive games today.
Zaipy, did you see my list for swap or sale in the marketplace?
I did mate. To be honest I have set my heart on either the arcade build or more consoles so buy games is currently on hold. But that may change bud lol.
Blazing Tornado looks a bit like Saturday Night Slam Masters, is it any good?
Picked up Kane on the speccy for free of my mate. He had 2 copies.
MIDWAY arcade treasures and Space invaders Anniversary, PS2 from Game.
99pÂ
I just ordered a few Vectrex games:
- Vector Pilot
- Vectrexians
- Debris Revisited
- Shifted
Now waiting for them to arrive!
Quote from: "The Laird"Is the first one a Time Pilot clone? Love that gameÂ
Yes it is and it looks very nice! You can see it here: http://www.kristofsnewvectrexgames.comli.com/ (http://www.kristofsnewvectrexgames.comli.com/)
Quote from: "The Laird"Quote from: "TrekMD"Quote from: "The Laird"Is the first one a Time Pilot clone? Love that game :D
Told you you'd like it! LOL
Mr Do! for gameboy £4.66 buy it now.Â
Quote from: "Carl"Mr Do! for gameboy £4.66 buy it now.Â
Nice find! I saw there is homebrew for the GBA of this game. Mr. Do! is a game I'd love to see on the 5200 or the 7800.
round up of my latest purchases ( I REALLY need to stop buying soon lol)
2 x new sealed Mad Catz see through blue Dreamcast controllers (£22 roughly in total from US)
Master System Mark 1 Powerbase Loose (£15 inc p+p)
Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future Soundtracks bundle (£10.34 p+p free)
Jaguar XJ220 Mega CD (£2.50 inc p+p)
Xenophobe, Roadblasters, Gates of Zendocon (from Laird, I believe they are all unboxed)
Hey big spender. Lol. I hope your wife does not see this thread.
lol yeah hopefully not! thats it for me now, HONEST!! No more, that's me done.
Although I am bidding on Terminator for the Mega CD but the chances of me winning that for a tenner are pretty slim lol
ok HOW typical is this? I said I wouldn't buy anymore games but I actually won Terminator on the Mega CD for £10.50 INC p+p... sods fricking law!! so I'll have to do some new photos of my Mega CD and Lynx collections when I receive this, Jaguar xj220 and Zaku... lol
Lol I have not purchased anything new for a few weeks. Not for the want of looking though.
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)
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
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
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?
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 assistance 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, 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.
I just purchased Donkey Kong 2K for the Intellivision...as well as an Intellivision since I did not have the system. I figured it was time.Â
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.
Quote from: "The Laird"Quote from: "TrekMD"I just purchased Donkey Kong 2K for the Intellivision...as well as an Intellivision since I did not have the system. I figured it was 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. There are some Intellivision games that I'd also like to get since they are unique to the Intellivision.Â
Thanks! I just posted there.
Just brought this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gauntlet-Lege ... 500wt_1202 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gauntlet-Legends-Dreamcast-/130716728948?pt=UK_PC_Video_Games_Video_Games_JS&hash=item1e6f52fe74&autorefresh=true#ht_500wt_1202)
Quite pleased, because its quite rare and normally goes for much more
I just purchased Mouse Trap and Lock'N'Chase for my "new" Intellivision.Â
God a sack load of PSP games this week but I guess it doesn't count on here!
Quote from: "nakamura"God a sack load of PSP games this week but I guess it doesn't count on here!
They are not "retro" yet. Give it a decade.Â
Been buying a mish mash of games recently.
Nes - Exitebike
Sega Master System -Running Battle, Fire & Forget II, Vigilante.
Sega Megadrive - Wiz 'n' Liz, The Flintstones, Teenage mutant Hero Turtles Tournament Fighters, Super Monaco GP (Japanese Version), Wardner, Cybercop (U.S. version of Corporation), Comix Zone.
Sega Saturn - Sega Ages Vol.1.
PC - Neverwinter Nights II, Sid Meiers Pirates, Patrician III, Tortuga, Port Royale, Star Wars Jedi Outcast.
Xbox 360 - Dreamcast Collection.
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
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
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.
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
After years of searching I finally found a copy of Lucienne's quest for the 3DO!
It's disc only so I still need to track down a manual and box but at least I can play the game at long last. Very excited!
I just received Swords and Serpents for my Intellivision.
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. 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
My Japanese megadive games from e-bay arrived today Plus I managed to find a bundle of big box PC games in a charity shop too. Score!
Megadrive - All Japanese
Spider man
DJ Boy
Osumatsu-kun
The Super Shinobi
Puyo Puyo
Taiga Drama Taihiki
PC all big box versions
Little Big Adventure
Broken Sword II
Myst
Discworld II
Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time
Not bought any games of late other than Manic Miner on the 360. If that counts lol.
Quote from: "The Laird"A couple of new Saturn games on the way:
Pu-Li-Ru-La
Dungeons & Dragons
I am really chuffed with these as they usually go for really big bucks!!!
Awesome, interested in playing both of them!
I got several Intellivision games:
-Astrosmash
-Space Armada
-Space Battle
-Night Stalker
-Lock'n'Chase
-Golf
-Sub Hunt
not sure it counts but I bought the Massive Memory Unit for Dreamcast and have just bought a new VGA box, neither of which have arrived yet... I think when they do I'll make a new video

Also spoke to a Retro games trader while I was there and he showed me the boxed Atari 800 that he bought for £5. I wish i'd been there a couple of hours earlier. Either way I'm pretty chuffed with my purchases.
Wow fella thats some shopping spree, i hardly get that luck..
Bought Worms United on gog.com on the weekend as I couldn't get my original CD version to work.
Nice Laird!Â
Quote from: "The Laird"Quote from: "TrekMD"Nice Laird!
Best of all (which I didn't realise) I had exactly 4 games missing the insert!!! ;)
Nice! I have not found anything that cool but did pick up:
Atari 2600
Millipede
Nes
Defender II
Eliminator Boat Duel
N64
NHL Breakaway '98Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey '98
Playstation
The Cat in the Hat - only 50 cents and makes a good filler game.
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.
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
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.
Added another system

Damn! Nice one!!!
I would love a Vectrex!!!
You should try to get one, Laird. Well worth it as I'm sure you can tell from my game reviews.
Quote from: "The Laird"At retro events its always the first machine I head for!!!
So, you get your Vectrex fix at these events!
Quote from: "The Laird"But just don't have the money right now to buy anything let alone consolesÂ
Sorry to hear that.Â
Nice TrekMD!
Thanks The Laird!
I really wanted AvP for the Jaguar and a couple of Intellivsion games. I have been watching the Vectrex prices tick upwards and thought the time was right.
Afterburner and Galaxy Force both arrived today so I will hopefully get my top ten together and uploaded this week, this weekend latest, Zapiy how shall I get it to you? I guess you'll wanna see it first yeah
I will give you direct access fella so you can upload it and no I trust your vision bud.
thanks man, I was waiting on this one as I thought I had Alien 3 but had to wait for it to arrive, I might do another afterwards for Mega CD the only issue is having the time to edit the vid, and for some reason my upload speeds are REALLY bad to youtube when uploading from home
Ms. Pac-Man for the Lynx. Thanks TrekMD.
Added a pic of it with my Dreamcast system.
I just got Mr. Do! for the GameBoy! I have been looking for this for a long time!Â
So does that mean a GameBoy review?
Quote from: "onthinice"So does that mean a GameBoy review?
LOLÂ I don't know. We don't have a section for those and I certainly have too few GB games!
Well at least you did not say no.
battletech was on the mat when I got home from hol today, got more MD games on the way which I will mention here, look forward to trying them out and doing some vids
I've decided to add some titles missing from my Jaguar library. I've started with White Men Can't Jump and Theme Park. :)
Yes, I have heard that Theme Park is a game that needs a lot of time but that's cool. I have games on my PSP I've been playing for eternity and yet to finish! LOL
WMCJ has me intrigued, so I went ahead and got it. It came with the Team Tap, of which I now have 2. Maybe I should try selling the extra one.
Quote from: "The Laird"Strangely I no longer have a team tap, I must have lost it at some point :( Any idea how you may have lost it?
Quote from: "The Laird"Quote from: "TrekMD"Quote from: "The Laird"Strangely I no longer have a team tap, I must have lost it at some point :( Any idea how you may have lost it?
Yeah, one of the many times I have moved house. I have lost lots of stuff over the years that way.
That sucks!Â
Maybe a Lost & Found section should be added on the site?Â
I picked up a four pack of NES classics on ebay recently and they just showed up in the mail today. I got Joust, Q*Bert, Dig Dug 2 and Galaga. I've never played Dig Dug 2 and never tried the NES versions of the other three. Should be funÂ
My latest pick-up - now if I can just get it to work then I can play it!
(http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z280/mrkizza/Dreamcast.jpg)
Very nice, Laird!

Did you plug it in?Â
nice set of games there, Trickstyle, Dragons Blood and Mag Force are all great games
Quote from: "The Laird"Quote from: "dcultrapro"nice set of games there, Trickstyle, Dragons Blood and Mag Force are all great games
Havn't played any of those, in fact the only games I have so far that I have played previously are Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi and the wrestling games so I have plenty to explore!
Definitely some good games there. Did you get it working yet?
Nice! You finally have some games that were released after Y2K.
Crazy Taxi and Chu Chu Rocket are two of my favorites for Dreamcast.
whats the problem with it exactly?

As I said there is no picture, TV just doesn't pick it up. Probably a faulty cable.
My latest purchase was Flintstones BurgerTime in Bedrock for the GBC.
I did not know this existed but when I found out I just had to have it.

Let us know what you think when you get them TrekMD?
QuoteWell, these were the only two games missing from my collection, so I figured I'd get them. They are not overly expensive and then I can judge them for myself. :)

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.
Bah!! I did´t find them because I was looking on the User CP downloads section... WTF!!! :D
I will let you know if I need more, thanks again pal!
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
I got the Atari collection Vol 2 for my DS last week. It was in the bargain bin and I kept digging trying to find Vol 1 but no luck.
I have both as well as Intellivision Lives.Â

They are out of stock now, though.Â
I just found it for £15, seems to be pretty rare as all the others are £50
If I get the job this weekend I will buy it

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, so I am pretty happy with that. Never played any INTV games so I am really looking forward to getting this!
Cool, glad that you were able to get it and for a reasonable price. What the heck are Nectar points? We have ebay Bucks in the US. Must be the equivalent in the UK.
Quote from: "TrekMD"Cool, glad that you were able to get it and for a reasonable price. What the heck are Nectar points? We have ebay Bucks in the US. Must be the equivalent in the UK.
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.

What I am away and Laird is buying from the big N.

Granada is amazing, I own the US version
due to the language barrier, I'm thinking of doing a Japanese MD schmup collection - though some of those are pricey I would guess. I lost the link, but watche a great youtube collection video from a guy who did the same - seems a do-able feat
just bought Crusader no remorse for Saturn for less than a fiver and am bidding on AMOK

Very Nice indeed! Malibu Bikini Volleyball and Switchblade II are less common. They are all really good games though.
That was a great deal! Congrats!

There was another lot of these up the week before but I forgot to bid so when I saw them come up again I jumped on it!
Very nice Shadowrunner!

Hey guys, so I got my copy of Amok for Saturn and Keith Courage for the Turbografx today along with Zarlor Mercenary for Lynx, still waiting for Dungeon Explorer, Side Arms, Military Madness and Ninja Spirit on Turbografx. No more purchases after these!!

I bet I will! I had this game before I'm CERTAIN I did! Just like zendocon I vividly remember owning/playing it but must've sold it that year when I got rid of almost all my retro stuff and moved to Saturn/PS1.... can't wait to play it tonight
Here is my latest purchase! I somehow missed this on my Lynx collection!

I just bought Krusty's Fun House on Game Gear and some replacement screens for the system as I broke one the other day lolÂ

Anyway he knows I have almost a full set of Sony consoles and he lets me live.
Wait, but shouldn't the PS2 go under the modern purchase?Â
ok so I recently bought a truck load of shit lol, including the likes of:
Castlevania SOTN on PS1
Alien Storm for MD
Stellar Assault for 32x
Bomberman for TGX
I now have about 17 TGX games and am waiting for my last one, Military Madness, I also got devil Crush and a turbo tap and second controller... SWEET!
Quote from: "TrekMD"Wait, but shouldn't the PS2 go under the modern purchase? ???
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
I don't think the PS2 is a classic or retro console, I just missed the word "Retro" on the thread subject, my fault...

Yes very silly! Oh well, figured they're never going down in price so might as well just buy one.
very essential for the jag I was surprised by how ergonomically pleasing it turned out to be when compared to the original, the pad works better, the shoulder buttons are brilliant. Nice for Battlemorph type games

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.
yep its very cool. I need to get back on the Jag soon as well, I haven't had much chance lately
I received Robo Aleste the other day, not bad, I've tested that it works but need to play it some more before I can reach a verdict
Not really a retro purchase, but related. My wife just got me for my birthday an iCade for my iPad, and I bought some retro arcade ports from Midway and Namco to play.
I've played Joust and Pac-Man, among others.

Nice bit if kit.
Very Cool DZ-Jay!
On Sunday I drove past a carboot sale in Cornwall and stopped for a looksie.
There was a chap with a large van selling house clearance stuff and in a box were loads of old dusty MD games.

Back to the Future 3
Earthwork Jim
Mega SWIV
Paperboy
Runark
The Simpsons: Bart versus the Space Mutants

Atari 40th Anniversary book from Retro Gamer
Just found this game for the PSP. Mega Drive/Genesis.
(http://i13.servimg.com/u/f13/17/65/85/95/ea_rep10.jpg)
Where did you find that?
I was searching ebay for Mutant League Football. This came up in one of the searchs. It has all three Road Rash games and Desert & Jungle Strike. Plus Mutant Football and Haunting starring Polterguy.
Just picked up an Interton VC4000 on ebay with games for £24.

Wow! That's a great score! 8)
Never heard of that console. Is it a clone?
Nice!!! I hope some reviews are forth coming?
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. May well do some reviews in the future. in the mean time here is a link to read through about it.

very good..you must let us here your verdict on how stuff runs on it..a disaster of a launch for something that could of been great..just too many logistics for it to ever survive in today's cut throat business market
Am hoping to give it a good going over for the mag, so you might be waiting a while!
My final missing piece from my last SNES collection has arrived. Can't wait to get stuck into it.

Cool! Can't remember buying new Snes games back in the 90's that looked that good. Very Nice Find!!!
Well the Jag ProController I bought finally showed up today. Figures I've been off work for a week and now that I only have one day left I get it. Oh well, something to look forward to this weekend. Only problem is it's brand new sealed and given how hard they are to come by I'm gonna have a hard time opening it! LOL

Bust that baby open, you won't regret it!
I say open.
Thanks for the encouragement guysÂ
After I admire it a bit more I will open it lol
If your vacation is almost over do not wait to long.
You will definitely like using the Pro Controller. It is the controller of choice for me with my Jaguar.
Got Konami Arcade Classics, Arkanoid and Space Invaders Extreme for the DS!!!Â
Quote from: "The Laird"Got Konami Arcade Classics, Arkanoid and Space Invaders Extreme for the DS!!!Â
I have Space Invader Extreme for the PSP. I wonder how the two versions compare.
Here are my two latest acquisitions:
Scarfinger for the Intellivision, an IntelligentVision release.

WOW!Â
They look really nice! I am guessing the first game is a James Bond type affair?
Quote from: "The Laird"WOW! :)Â
Cool!!! Reviews coming soon?
Great purchases fella.
Got two more carts for the Sega ST-V... Guardian Force and Elandoree. Really wanted Guardian Force since it uses a different control scheme than the Saturn port. Added Elandoree with a decent combo price/postage for both carts.
EDIT: Just took a pic of my current ST-V cart collection for personal reference:

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.

Cool! Nice find!Â
Only familiar with the Nes. I have a friend who always talked highly of the arcade version. The Sega Master version looks excellent. Nice find 108 stars!
I never knew that version even existed!!!Â
I posted the NES version of this in the worst conversion thread cause it looks nothing like the arcade. The SMS version on the other hand looks incredible! I didn't know it existed either!
Quote from: "The Laird"I never knew that version even existed!!!Â
Quote from: "Shadowrunner"I didn't know it existed either!
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.^^

Fascinating, isn't it? Lack of awareness makes this rare game cheap despite its rarity.
hey guys
so this weekend I came home with the following from Kart Klub after spending Saturday at the Video Game Carnival
Halley Wars GG
Wipeout 2097 SAT
Black Dawn SAT
Virtua Cop 2 SAT
Ninja Gaiden LYNX
Blue Lightning LYNX
I also had the following delivered just before going to the VGC
Macross Plus Do You Remember Love? SAT
Titan Wars SAT
And I just ordered the following on Ebay nice and cheap:
Tunnel B1 SAT
Wing Arms SAT
Marvel Super Heroes SAT
best bargains I got are Wipeout 2097 and Titan Wars... I didn't know Wipeout 2097 was on Saturn at all so that was an awesome find and Titan Wars is excellent after having played it for a few hours I love it
Just made an order to Japan.
First:

They also did great Dodgeball games in the series, sadly not for MD. I played Super Dodgeball on the PC engine and it is great fun for two players.
What is that MD game? looks right up my street.
I want Advanced_Daisenryaku! Cool!!! Thanks for sharing 108 Stars!
Quote from: "Rogue Trooper"What is that MD game? looks right up my street.
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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJZZZMX6ZKI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJZZZMX6ZKI)
Thanks for the patch info! That intro is cool! I still play Panzer General II (with all the mods). Nice to see a WWII game for the Mega Drive. Since I have a Genesis it will have to be emulation. Thank you again for posting your finds!

Nice work!
Been buying a few games for my new Turbografx the past couple weeks and they have all arrived now. Final Lap Twin, Klax, J. J. & Jeff, Blazing Lazers, Vigilante, and Legendary Axe. Still have a couple more to get that I used to own years ago and then after that there's a ton of games for the system I've never tried that I'll try to pick up over time.

Damn you, I've wanted a crystal Xbox since I first saw one when they came out. Great find at that priceÂ
In other news, I just received Victory Run for the TurboGrafx which I bought from a U.S. seller on Ebay. As good a reason as any for the TG to be the first console to be plugged in in my retro games roomÂ
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?.
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.
Went into Dunstable yesterday to find that we have a retro store here! So I bought the following in there:
Sonic 3 - Mega Drive
Tecmo World Cup - Megadrive
F1 - Mega Drive
F355 Challenge - Dreamcast
Maximum Force - Saturn
And I also got Scarface for the Wii for a total cost of just £17!!!!!

Never knew Scarface got ported to the Wii, i loved (well, still do) love that game, far better a sandbox game for myself than GTA:S.A (but then i love the movie).
New retro buys. Both won after I left cheeky little bids on them. Total £4.69.

Oooh where is this store (I promise not to go too often and to leave some games there for you)
In the high street!
I just added it to the store directory!!!
I picked up the following from charity shops recently:
XIII on Gamecube for £1
Vampire; The Masquerade; Bloodlines on PC for £2
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!
Just received my crystal Xbox from an Ebay seller, in excellent condition. Also got Desert Speed Trap for the Master System, I'm a big fan of Wile e Coyote and Road Runner cartoons so I had to get it even if it's not a great game...
Congrats on your new arrival Doug. Looks like talking about the Crystal was just too much temptation for you. Cigars all round mateÂ
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!
This is today's haul:
(http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z280/mrkizza/20130308_185904_zps195c993e.jpg)
All this cost me just £6
Good scoreÂ
MD Steel Talons said to be awful due to sloth like frame rate, poor old MD CPU not really geared up to handling polygon 3D.
Quote from: "Rogue Trooper"MD Steel Talons said to be awful due to sloth like frame rate, poor old MD CPU not really geared up to handling polygon 3D.
Yeah I heard that too but I am very intrigued as I love the game on the Lynx
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.

Sounded like some really creative coding for sure.
Interesting, I think a lot of people kind of forgot the MD had a co-processor.
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).
That was back when pushing hardware was a major thing to come up with new special effects and ideas. Unfortunately there is no need to do so nowadays.
Latest pickups. K.I is sealed but wasn't expensive. It does look like the seal on old US games from back in the day but it doesn't have the red strip. Can anyone confirm if it is a reseal?
(http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t485/volkte37/SNES/20130313_114755_zps1b692deb.jpg)
Today's pick-ups, all this for just £10. I really need to clean up the MD Joystick though it's filthy.

Have Fun Doug
It's going to be a great weekend, the Atari 7800 I bought showed up today! :21: Guess I'll have to look for one of the UK controllers that everyone says are much better. Overall though very happy with it.
Nice!
Some games will play fine with a standard 2600 or a Sega controller.
Thanks for sharing Shadowrunner

Yes but if you do that you can only use one button.
I will look out for a joypad for you Shadowrunner, they are easier to find over here and essential IMO.

I am going to be selling all the Game Gear stuff for them (some of it is already gone) and the Binatone too, which actually has the original box as well.
I will also be selling the Dreamcast too with 3 games.
What you looking at for the DC? and what games are you selling with it?.
Quote from: "Rogue Trooper"What you looking at for the DC? and what games are you selling with it?.
£15 plus P&P with Chu Chu Rocket, Trick Style, Dream Key and a loose Sonic Adventure (which is really scratched)
Comes with a controller and all the cables too. It's in mint condition, nicer than my own one.
VMU? Just asking as got a mate interested.
Quote from: "Rogue Trooper"VMU? Just asking as got a mate interested.

No worries, it will probably end up on eBay anyway.

Can't beat the original version of Worms, still the best one IMO.
I agree totally, I love the CD audio in the PS1/Saturn versions and the gameplay is the most balanced. No manual but it was only a quid and I will make a custom single case for it.

GG version is the best one in my opinion (and I hate the Game Gear)
Laird, what do you like best about the GG version?
Quote from: "onthinice"Laird, what do you like best about the GG version?
It's just a perfect handheld game, much like Tetris is on the GB and Klax on the Lynx. You can just pick up and play it anytime.
Thanks! I thought that might be the reason.
I just got a massive job lot of Atari 2600 stuff and there was actually a few carts I didn't already have amongst them! Although I had some of these games on the 32-in-1.

Use a tune from or copy a film now and you'll probably have a writ faster than you can say "Rip Off"
Picked up Legacy Of Kain for the Dreamcast, CIB and mint, for just £3 in my local retro shop!
Soul Reaver ?
I've got the DC version but ended up playing it on the PC because this was years ago before I fixed the reset problem on my DC.

Great game, I put a lot of hours into it when it first came out. :69:

I have been on a TG-16 buying spree lately through ebay because they are tough to come by in the wild around my neck of the woods. Mainly cheaper titles, nothing too spectacular over the past month:
Andre Panza Kickboxing
Bonk's Revenge
Legendary Axe II
Pac Land
J.J. and Jeff
Final Lap Twin

They are all good to excellent games, have them on the TG myself. Never really did get JJ & Jeff though.
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.
I just got this Ebay purchase today

Great looking game! Shame about the gameplay . . . . .
Picked up quite a few Saturn games in really nice condition yesterday :
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/03/ma8upyru.jpg)
And 5 N64 games today, not boxed unfortunately but they were free so hey ho, beggers can't be choosers
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/03/ygu8y9ud.jpg)
Nice pick up on the Saturn games! :16:
Great bundles there TDU, Saturn bundle particularly but I wouldn't have minded the N64 bundle either at the priceÂ
With that new Hyperkin NES RetroN 1 Gaming System on its way, I've started to get some NES games so I have something to play with once it arrives. Here's what I just got today:
- Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
- Ghosts'N Goblins
- Super Mario Bros.
- Bionic Commando
- DuckTales
- Popeye
- Life Force
- Gauntlet
- Vindicators
Did I read correctly? If so that is awesome! Great list of games so far!
Quote from: "onthinice" Did I read correctly? If so that is awesome! Great list of games so far!
Yes you did. You must have missed the thread about that system in here. It was on sale on GroupOn for $15 or so (can't remember the exact amount right now). It was too cheap to not jump at it. I'd love to find a multicart but those seem to be very difficult to find. So, I'll likely keep the game library small.Â
I did not see. There have been some amazing purchases posted of late. I'll need to see what I've missed.
Sounds like a good deal to me.
Thought I was going to need a sedative. Thinking it was the end times. Laird a fan of the Wii and now TrekMD interested in Nintendo. :21:
Congratulations!!!! Hope you enjoy the games!!!!

Thanks! Well, like I said, for the price it was hard to pass it up. Besides, there are some games on the NES that are unique to the system. I'm trying to get some of those.
Nice one TrekMD, you have selected some nice games to get you going there.
I have a couple more I'm bidding on. I'll post once I win them. :)

Got a couple more NES games today: Rolling Thunder, Clu Clu, and Contra.
Quote from: "TrekMD"I saw a video of Knight Rider and was not impressed by the game.

Cool! I didn't even know it was rare!Â
Fine job on all three games! The Super Mario Brothers by itself is cool. Most times it is the dual cart with Duck Hunt or Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet.
I'll post pics of the others as I get them or may just wait for all of them to get here to post them together. Contra, which I just got, is rare as well.Â
Bought some replacement sleeves for my TG-16/PCE HuCard loosies. The sleeves fit SMS cards and Neo Geo memory cards too.

Very nice indeed!
I hope to pick up a few bits at Revival this weekendÂ
Agree! I never had any Vic-20 tapes, except for ones made for saving info.
Also hoping to pick up a few goodies at the show - hope there is some stuff left on the Sunday :D
OK, so now that all the games I purchased are here, here are pictures of the Retron N1 and the NES games I got for it.

Good haul Trek! Let us know what it's like after you try it and if the Tengen games workÂ
My pick-ups from Revival this weekend!
I got the 4 Saturn games for £35, was pleased to grab them as they are some of the few PAL games that I don't have. I pasted the other side of the Cabal mug into the photo so you can see the other side.

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.
If only one doesn't work that's not bad and considering how cheap the system was it sounds like it was a good dealÂ
Quote from: "Shadowrunner"If only one doesn't work that's not bad and considering how cheap the system was it sounds like it was a good deal :) I can try selling it on ebay again.Â
I was unpacking my bag after Revival yesterday and totally forgot I bought a couple of Mega Drive games at the show too! I got Rampart and Corporation, both loose, for £5. 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!

I know the feeling! Right now I have both the Vectrex and the N1 set up to play games. I want to play some of the Vectrex games using the AtariVox+!
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

That is awesome! I'd love to have one of those in my house
The Atari Jaguar emulation will be awful on it, dunno why they bothered with that.
They are sweet machines though, I saw one being built in the workshop!
Blade Runner and Klingon "Honor" Guard for the PC.

Another MD2 and an Amstrad PPC 640D.
Also (not pictured), another Master System 2 and some Mega Drive games. Mostly duplicates, but also Sonic Spinball which I didn't already have.
Some Great Games and Systems! I used to love playing MicroProse games on the C64.
Today my wife made me roam the country looking for a new car for her. On the way back from Hemel Hempstead we took a detour to Dunstable and I picked these up...
(http://i43.tinypic.com/2rqyio4.jpg)
Hahahahaha, no way! I nearly bought that Dr. Who game yesterday but after hearing how bad it supposedly is in the last issue of RG I decided to pass on it.
Nice to see that you finally dropped in there though, it's a great little shop!
My daughter and I love Dr. Who, I was browsing the Retro cabinet when the Wii game was thrust under my nose with the order "buy this dad"
I should have read this first. Before commenting on Doug's collection. It explains all.
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!
Here are my latest additions to the collection...

Great gaming finds, everyone! Thanks for sharing!
Good score on the Battle Kid games Trek! They're both sold out at Retrozone.
Quote from: "Shadowrunner"Good score on the Battle Kid games Trek! They're both sold out at Retrozone.
Thanks! I saw some videos and they look like fantastic games! The reviews are all positive as well.
Seeing as i've not posted much recently i thought i would put up my purchases from last month or so.
All of these have been brought from charity shops and boot sales.
More to come on the next post too.
Here are the restÂ
That's a ton of stuff! Plenty to enjoy!Â
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....
That is awesome Vyo!!!! :10:
Had a look through and copied some stuff over. I think the 130XE is going to become one of my favourite things. It's really nice being able to use it at last. Especially as when I got it the keyboard didn't work.

Good score on the Keio game! I need to get that but the NTSC version is quite rare and very pricey. Is the Pal version more common?
Quote from: "Shadowrunner"Good score on the Keio game! I need to get that but the NTSC version is quite rare and very pricey. Is the Pal version more common?
Nope! It's pretty rare and usually very expensive, I got a really sweet deal on this from somebody on another forum who I had been helping out with burning Jag CD games. So I was extremely pleased to pick it up finally!
I managed to pick up a bundle of empty Mega Drive cases on eBay for some of my loose games. They came yesterday so I printed out some inlays for them to go on my shelf. They mostly look pretty good:
[align=center:pdi0xwwa](http://i.imgur.com/9PVQRw7.jpg?1)[/align:pdi0xwwa]

Prepare to hate me everyone! I visited my local retro shop today and grabbed all of this for just £45, everything is absolutely mint too!

What region MD is that?
Quote from: "DreamcastRIP"What region MD is that?
Asian, so multi-region and 60hzÂ
Quote from: "The Laird"Prepare to hate me everyone!
Nah, we all hated you alreadyÂ
Hate is such an ugly word, but appropriate in this instanceÂ
What a lucky bastard!Â
Quote from: "The Laird"Quote from: "DreamcastRIP"What region MD is that?

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.
I am going to try it out a bit later so I will let you know!
It's all mint inside too, I checked eBay and found one that sold in similar condition for nearly £200!!!
Quote from: "The Laird"I am going to try it out a bit later so I will let you know!
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.

I picked up this little lot from Kart Klub in Aldershot this weekend. It all cost me a very reasonable £50!

I ALMOST bought a nice steelbook of Driver Parallel Lines on the PS2 today, complete with plastic sleeve.
Unfortunately the soundtrack sleeve (which was the reason I was buying it) contained a CDR of S club 7Â

Congrats laird, great titles there!
I've been looking for one Master Converter like that but they cost more than I would like to pay for it, it's cheaper to buy a Master System!
Yeah I have wanted one for a while but never seen one at a decent price, I didn't intend to spend that much in the store but that was something I just couldn't turn down!
There were a load of really cool Mega CD games I didn't have too but I have to draw the line somewhere!!!
My newest pick-up . . . . .

Got these three new Japanese Saturn games for just £12: Sakura Wars, Marriage and Fatal Fury 3

Thanks! I posted another picture of CGE Adventures in its thread that shows the contents of the box.Â
Picked up a model 2 Saturn at the car boot sale on Sunday. Already have a model 1, but haven't had a working model 2 in a while. Fitted a region-free bios chip, 50/60hz switch and modchip while I was at it.

@ TrekMD:
Nice to see that it's not only on the Jag that homebrew devs go to the trouble of having numeric keypad overlays produced for their games.Â
@ Laird:
Cool to see your NTSC-J Saturn game collection is expanding.

Many of the developers for the Intellivision do make overlays for their games as that is part of the experience. 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...). 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. I have a pretty significant collection of overlays for both systems myself, even if many of my Vectrex overlays are reproductions. It's just more fun to play the games with them. On Vector Gaming Forums some folks are talking about making overlays for several of the homebrews that do not have them right now. Very exciting stuff!Â
So, as you guys know, I had purchased a Retron N1 system. Well, I decided to get a real NES given the issues with compatibility with some games. I was able to get a NES 101 (I much prefer the design of this console over the original NES) that came with 5 games that I did not already have. :)
Nice!!!!! Good mix of games and the console looks in great shape!
Thanks! I just tested it and it works like a charm. It is in great shape as well.Â
Enjoy!!!!!

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!
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.

Quote from: "Shadowrunner"Cool, according to the post office my copy of Elansar should be here Tuesday.

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

That's quite a difference. Was it in as good condition as this?
It looked it from the photos but these consoles are very prone to yellowing.
Quote from: "The Laird"It looked it from the photos but these consoles are very prone to yellowing.
Yes, I can see that happening. That's like the Intellivision II, they tend to get a yellow color over time.
But the yellowing adds ...um .... 'Character'...Â
Mine has yellowed but as long as it still works.
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.
I got this sweet piece of kit today, took just over a week to come from the US!!!!
(http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z280/mrkizza/AtariMax_zps8e815395.jpg)
I am going to have a busy weekend!!!
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!
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.
I've just received Power Factor for the Lynx, another Jag pad (that's going to get the rotary controller mod for Tempest), and Bubsy for the Jag.

I just bought this

It doesn't work, red screen. Anyone any suggestions before I strip it and fill it with Raspberry Pi stuff?
Oh damn! And it doesn't look to be in bad condition.
Try to clean the cart slot and the game connectors, it seems for the pic that the console is dirty.
Here are my latest retro purchases...a bunch of homebrews! I decided to get the games I was missing from John Dodzila in cart form (I have them in the multicarts) since he's closing shop later this year and they are not expensive to begin with.

Really great items!!!! Thanks to everyone for sharing!!!!
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!

That looks like a must have item. Reminds me of an Atari 7800 controller turned around.
They work very well also. I have that plus my modified controllers.Â
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.

Quote from: "Vyothric"(http://www.diffusedion.co.uk/images/ZX81-rs.jpg) (//http)
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.
Awesome find on that gold N64, Vyo!!!!
Glad the upgrade worked out, DC!!!!
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.
GamePad screen seems to really help.
Good sized television to play games. :78:
well, I'm addicted to Ebay now.. since getting my N64 and Gamecube.

N64
Mario Kart, Mario 64, Mario Golf.

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.
I didn't know that about the unlockable content... Damn... more expense!!!

I bought a Sega 32XÂ :)
Sweet! Definitely two of the device's better games there. Space Harrier is class on 32X albeit the excellent Saturn version is probably cheaper to get. After Burner Complete is fab. Knuckles Chaotix is worth a a shout too although it can be a little pricey to source CIB these days. (PAL version, at least).

Yep, all three of those are on my list to get. There aren't a lot of must have games for the add-on but there are a few that definitely make it worthwhile.

Great title alright!
Got World Class Fussball/Soccer through the door today for my Atari Lynx. Also got Lost Vikings last week for my Mega Drive and Towers II a few weeks ago for my Atari Jaguar.

I understand, Shadowrunner. I would like to find the Sega Power Bar. At least for a good price.
So, here is one of those non-NES items I was speaking of. It arrived today and I was lucky to find it for a reasonable price given that it is boxed! Sewer Sam for the Intellivision!

Great condition!!!! When all other cart makers were using black, nice that Interphase chose to be different.
Their cart design is very unique. That's really one of the reasons I chose to find their games. It was great that I found them boxed without breaking the bank!
Cool red cartridge design there. One could even hang it on a peg due to that hole it has!
Quote from: "DreamcastRIP"Cool red cartridge design there. One could even hang it on a peg due to that hole it has!
Yes it is a unique cart design and I like that they are red. Just different from everyone else. I guess there's many places you could hang those carts!Â
Alright, I got all that other "new stuff" today! So, here it is! The system came with 8 games (the condition of some of the labels is so so but I can't complain) and I got several more from tomwaits! I'll be getting the Everdrive next!

Some great titles to start your gaming experience
Quote from: "onthinice"Some great titles to start your gaming experience
Yes they are. I was just testing the system and played Earthworm Jim, Jurassic Park, and Batman Forever. Very nice!
Glad you are liking the system. What is your opinion of the controller?
Very comfortable!Â
The six button controller is nice. The original 3 button was good but one or two buttons would go bad quickly.
Quote from: "onthinice"The six button controller is nice. The original 3 button was good but one or two buttons would go bad quickly.
Luckily, the system has the six-button controller and it works well. It does feel comfortable in the hand also. I still have to test the stereo sound for the system, though.Â
Rock On!

Reasonable haul for £2 from a car boot, nothing special, apart from my favorite game ever- Sonic Adventure
You bought Ready 2 Rumble Boxing on PS when you have a DC?
To be honest i aren't gonna play any of them apart from Sonic and maybe the Pinball one
I bought these in the charity auction at Retromission:

Quote from: "FinTheGeek"To be honest i aren't gonna play any of them apart from Sonic and maybe the Pinball one
I had that pinball game for the Ps1 - I think there's a bonus disc in there too with "The Web" table on it if memory serves. It's a tough game though it is beautifully made. I got rid of it only when I got Pro Pinball Trilogy for DC which made it redundant.
OK, now that is weird! It looks just fine to me now! LOL How does it look to everyone else? The size on the HTML is 500 wide by 331 tall. Before I edited, that was reversed.
Looks fine on Chrome & Opera on Linux
Looks fine to me using Firefox on Win 7.
A reasonable lot of £40. Very Happy!

Very nice! I see you got Tengen's Ms. Pac-Man for the MD also! Cool!
Nice! I really like Speed Devils on the Dreamcast... it's not as technically impressive as some of the other DC racing games but it has some great tracks and fun arcade style gameplay.
I see Genesis Chiki Chiki Boys in that lot. It is next on my to-get list.
Some cracking games there between the two of you and four more Wii games for Laird I see!
Nice buys Laird and Fin, where was my invite??? 8)
Got a really nice early birthday gift, the Odyssey 2 multi cart. Included it with my other O2 games. Pretty lucky for me, I was getting ready to sell my Atari Jaguar to buy one. :21:

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.

Well, it can be played on the 7800 without the XM but you don't have sound as the sound is all POKEY sound. But, yes, I can hardly wait to have the XM to play this on real hardware!
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.

IIRC is this not the only Intellivision exclusive game by Activision?

A nice haul here.
Just got a nice boxed Atari 7800, along with Xenophobe, Mean 18 and Planet Smashers. Also picked up Jinks and Xevious separately. Added Club Drive, Wolfenstein 3D and Theme Park to my Jag collection and European Soccer Challenge for the Lynx

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.
Thanks! Haven't really had a chance to get much play time in yet, but I do like Xenophobe (liked it on the Lynx too). Keeping my eyes peeled for a few more reasonably priced bargains. Jag prices are fluctuating a bit too much for my liking recently, but the odd bargain comes up.
I picked this up this week, its one of the hardest XE branded games to get hold of so when I saw it for a tenner I just couldn't say no!

By selling stuff on eBay mostly, I needed the XE games for the photoshoot for my new article so I will recoup the investment on those when I get paid. The Saturn games were just too cheap to turn down!

That looks like an interesting controller. Was it part of the same lot or was it a separate purchase?
Quote from: "TrekMD"That looks like an interesting controller. Was it part of the same lot or was it a separate purchase?
A separate purchase. It is weird (has an LCD screen and you can rotate the face buttons) but works well and cost less than four pounds all-in. The games were mostly from different lots too.
Picked up Grim Fandango in DVD case style packaging ($2), a Super Nintendo with two controllers but no power cord ($10) a licensed Sega Genesis device- it is blue and shaped like a silhouette of Sonic's head ($6) and got Blades of Vengeance on Sega Genesis, complete ($3).

Blades Of Vengeance is a very nice game so great score there!
I was surprised to see it. They had it put in with the VHS tapes at the local Goodwill. Now I know where to look for these as they had a few sports titles that were worse for wear (though the cases are worth a buck or two so that something else can be completed).

That is a bargain indeed! Cogratulations!
Just got this from Tototek.
(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.
Each to their own but I can't think of anything worse!
I was thinking how awesome it would be if both thumbsticks worked for 7800 Robotron, one for directional, the other for firing. I know, probably won't work that way, but a man can dream...
I bought one exactly like that but for the 3DO, unfortunately though it didn't workÂ
Hopefully you have better luck with yours.

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.
Got these in the post today!!!!

Very cool! I see you're getting all sorts of XE titles!
Not all that interesting just one thing
I got my self a copy of Mr Nutz today from a local store.
Quite fair price and condition and since its currently between £25 and £40 on ebay so im pretty happy for £10.
Cons:
Missing manual
small scuff on the cartridge artwork
Ex-rental sticker

I want to attempt a sticker removal but have a feeling this one could be quite tough.
Any tips?
Thanks for the read. I promise it only gets more interesting from here lol
Nice score!Â
Been spending a bit too much recently ~£110 in Total
Now have a 3DO and a number of decent games, including Street Fighter 2 which isn't in the photo.
Cybernator for the SNES and Majoras Mask on the N64.

@Retrofox
Loving the Asian Sonic 2. Is there any difference in the actual game? always wondered.
A couple more XE pick-ups:

Quote from: "RetroFox"New pickup!
This one is a biggie for me as it represents my childhood =D
Sonic 2 - Asian version - £13
Pros:
All three manuals in perfect order
All artwork is perfect and unfaded
Cons:
None this thing is spot on!

I like the looks of this version over the North American label and case.

There are some really cool finds on here. My latest/first Ebay binge buy resulted in,
Bart's Nightmare (SNES)
Cool Spot (Mega Drive)
Spot goes to Hollywood (Mega Drive)
Rolo to the rescue (Mega Drive)
Theme Park (Mega Drive)
James Pond: Robocod (Mega Drive)
Nothing overly rare, just a couple of personal favorites from my childhood.
Nice set of games you got there!
I am amazed by the adaptors available these days that allow use of modern controllers on classic consoles. Got this yesterday and tried it out today.
(http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o646/sqoon/GamecubetoNESAdapter_zps19ab86e7.jpg)
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.
Today's arrival . . . . .

My Oh Mummy is actually waiting for me at my local post office, they tried to deliver it a few days ago!Â
Mine came as registered mail, so I had to sign for the package. Good thing I am home!Â

Yes same, which is why I have to collect it.
Just got my Atari Jaguar composite video cable. Unfortunately my daughter has filled the gaming room with black bags full of s**t so I can't get in there to try it out. Hopefully by SundayÂ
Today's pick-ups from Kart Klub in Aldershot:
(http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z280/mrkizza/20131201_155244_zpsa240c577.jpg)
Some great pick ups there Laird. Will have to get to one of those Game Carnivals one day.
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.

Very nice set of games! I see that you also picked up Oh Mummy!
So, my latest purchase was an impulse buy today while visiting Dollar General. They had this on sale for $35, which is a steal since on Amazon it costs $60!

That is the same thing I reviewed on You Tube a while back . . . .
Yep, not stellar but the price was good enough to spend on getting it. They had several other ones (the one that tries to be like a real Genesis, the Atari Flashback 4, etc.), all on sale and they were going like hotcakes!
At that price you can't go wrong, good deal!
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.

Nice. I saw those at my local Dollar General store as well. The thing I wonder is does it play all MD/Genesis game cartridges?
No, it does not play carts. It has 80 games preloaded in it, though.
OK. I was confused. They also had a Genesis clone with wireless controllers and built-in games. It played Genesis/MD game cartridges as well. I thought some company made a handheld that played regular Genesis game carts and it looked similar to yours. Hmmm...

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.

Yes, they had that available too.Â
This is what you were thinking of, sloan: Arcade Classic SEGA Genesis Game Console (//http). It does have the slot for carts.

In the meantime, this arrived today for my Jaguar...

Nice packaging on the Impulse X cart. I actually played the CD version of this earlier tonight. I hadn't played it in a long time and forgot just how great it is. After Christmas I might get a copy of the cart version too if they're still selling them.
Here is some more retro-themed stuff that arrived today!

Nice! I look forward to the review!Â
I think this game was a lesson for Mr. Ferretti on more than one level. He shipped these boxed games using bubble envelopes. True the box was flat, but several of them have arrived damaged. The labels are also not laminated, so they look cheap rather than well made. He has another game in development and said he won't be repeating these mistakes on that one.Â

Oh dear. That is a real schoolboy error, anyone who hangs around games forums should have known that wasn't acceptable.

I guess he knows now. Thankfully my box arrived pretty much fine. Just a little crinkle on one side. Not really noticeable.

I bought the brand new Neo Geo CD game Andro Dunos. This was originally a MVS and AES game that came out 20 years ago but there was never an official CD release until last month.

That is definitely cool!Â

Looks like Christmas came early! Love the look of the Fix it Felix game and great to see your copy of Another World arrived, mine's on it's wayÂ
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:
[align=center:3uf2hwgm](http://nintendoagemedia.com/users/8060/photobucket/F41DA95D-A5E1-735B-14DC1A50E4189A60.png)[/align:3uf2hwgm]
Someone is selling #47 on NintendoAge. That particular cart has had the game updated to the fixed version.
Wow! Some amazing pick-ups there! I would love a Fix It Felix!
Quote from: "The Laird"Wow! Some amazing pick-ups there! I would love a Fix It Felix!
Thanks! Well, the one on NA is still on sale until today. The current bid is $100.
Here are a few other bits I picked up recently:
(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!
Dig Dug! Very nice! Of course the gun and joystick for that price is quite the deal.
This latest purchase brings me up to a nice round 50 for Lynx games:
(http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z429/ajvick/C4107415-63DA-4795-A5EE-CE09B7B4D9B4.jpg)

My favourite Lynx game!
Just an update. One of the guys over at Vector Gaming Forums posted a PDF insert for the VHS case to use for Pitcher's Duel, so I went ahead and made my own. Looks very nice!

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.
[align=center:2zk7h5rt](http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag160/TrekMD/RVG%20Images/SegaGenesis6_zps2b278a17.jpg)[/align:2zk7h5rt]

I am glad you were finally able to get one of these!
Quote from: "The Laird"Very nice Trek!

Thanks! Now I just need the power supply for it (on its way) and an Everdrive.Â
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 bought a NTSC conversion cart of Christmas Daze for the SNES and a Iron Soldier beta cart for the Jaguar. Now that Christmas is over and I'm home again I can actually try themÂ
Is Christmas Daze the same as Daze Before Christmas? I have the Sega Genesis version and it is a fantastic game. I know there's an SNES version as well.
Quote from: "TrekMD"Is Christmas Daze the same as Daze Before Christmas? I have the Sega Genesis version and it is a fantastic game. I know there's an SNES version as well.
Whoops, yes Daze before Christmas. Great to hear it's such a good gameÂ
Yes, I only wish I had the darned instructions for it! I've had to figure out aspects of the game using bits and pieces of info found online.Â
Quote from: "TrekMD"Yes, I only wish I had the darned instructions for it! I've had to figure out aspects of the game using bits and pieces of info found online.
Hmmm. . . yeah I can't find a scan of the manual online either. Trial and error I guess.

I think I've gotten enough bits and pieces to put enough info on a review of the game. That should be helpful. Given that a complete game costs some $500 on ebay, I will not complain for getting a cart for $35 or so. I wish someone would scan the manual or convert it into a text file, though. It would be very helpful!
Here's something that arrived today for my NES!
[align=center:1ncpqf95](http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag160/TrekMD/RVG%20Images/IMG_0005_zps29ec1553.jpg)[/align:1ncpqf95]
I got this in the post today:
(http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z280/mrkizza/Atlantis_zps6b6b3b72.jpg)
Only cost me £13 and it's in absolutely mint condition as you can see. I am a huge fan of the 2600 version so was incredibly happy to pick up this A8 version at such a good price.
Very cool! That looks to be in fantastic shape.
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!
Interesting about Centipede. I'm guessing someone changed the cart label for whatever reason.
Quote from: "TrekMD"Interesting about Centipede. I'm guessing someone changed the cart label for whatever reason.
Quite and yes Laird, Miner 20'49er is a fabulous game and extremely rare indeed!!! A pound???
Here's a few pickups from this week
(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.
It's easy to start collecting more for one system over others. I've been trying to keep it mixed.Â
 Nice pick ups, btw.
Here are today's arrivals. Can't wait to dig into the book!

Very nice indeed, both of you!
@avick - Nice one on the SMS card, I think they are really cool and really want to pick up more of them. At the moment I only have Enduro Racer. I posted a full list of all games that came out on card in the Master System thread here.
Yeah, I'm aiming for a full PAL set on the MS for carts and cards. I think I'm up to about 6 cards at the moment. Some of them are going for crazy money, so I keep an eye out for a bargain.
Here's my latest arrival. Found it being sold in Toys R Us for £10. When I pointed out that this was very old stock and from a now dead console the manager gave it to me for a fiver. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/12/yvesy4as.jpg)

Technically I bought this a year and a half ago but it was a pre-order and I just received my shipping confirmation. Super Fighter Teams latest game, Nightmare Busters for the SNES. Looks incredible and I can't wait to try it!

Got this NES homebrew in the mail yesterday. These games from RetroZone come really nicely packaged! I have several other games coming along with another surprise that I was able to get my hands on.

No, we never did. This game was released early last year and I was able to catch it on a re-release as it was out of stock most of the year at RetroZone. Here is a video of it:

Bit of a random assortment of purchases this week (still waiting on them turning up, hence no pictures), but I've picked up NHL All Star Hockey & Harcode 4x4 for the Saturn, Neo Turf Masters for the Neo Geo MVS, Assault City & Aerial Assault for the SMS. Got my eye on some more SMS stuff (edging ever closer to a PAL set).

Very cool! Nice game!
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!

Time to post the Sega stuff that I've received this week. I wanted to increase my Genesis game collection but I also got lucky and was able to find a Nomad in very good shape that also included 12 games!

Lots of great Sega stuff, especially the NomadÂ
Yes, the Nomad is great. Tested several of the games on it already.Â
Â
Epic pick-ups there Trek!
Especially the Nomad, looks like you got some really good games with it too. I see you finally grabbed a copy of Hyperstone Heist, hope you like it!
The Nomad is really cool. Having the ability to play using standard carts on a portable system is great and it does pretty well. It didn't come with the battery pack but, given how much of a battery hog it is, I'm not concerned with that. The power cord is long enough that I can sit comfortably to play where I want.Â
I picked up all these Master System games from Kart Klub in Aldershot for £17

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. This is the special edition and I did get it for a good price. Less than I paid for the standard edition! Orion Collection cart release is just a lose cart. No box or manual but it does come with a sheet with information on the games.
I didn't know that Rebooteroids was intended to be a cart release. The Reboot games are usually CD releases.
Zapiy, glad you like the Vectrex stuff.Â
Â
You know both versions of Towers II are identical right?
They only started putting special edition on it when Telegames ran out of the original stock and started making them on an ad-hoc basis with much cheaper labels and packaging.

BEWARE! Karateka is a horrible broken mess. The rest of the games are great though so that does make up for it
Thanks for the heads up. On the plus side, it was cheap and in good condition.
Nice group of games. As Laird says, Karateka is not very good. It is a game I keep hoping someone hacks to fix it. The control mechanism is just poorly written. Cheap and good condition is always good, though.Â

The yellow label is shigesato itoi's no1 bass fishing also released in 96 for ¥8200, had 8 broadcasted episodes. The boxed one is Derby Stallion II from 95 cost ¥12800 on release it a business and race sim. Not a great deal of info out there but I love the obscure lol.

So, this was a system only released in Japan? The carts have an interesting design.
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.

Thanks. They all look like they've been taken care of. No broken cases and they all have manuals!
Yep, you hit the jackpot if they all have manuals.
It is hard to find complete games like with out paying a premium. Hope you can play them soon and share your thoughts?
Hopefully in the not too distant future. The 'to play' pile seems to be growing rather too quickly.
I understand. Enjoy!
What a stroke of luck, nice one!Â

My latest purchase arrived today: an NTSC
TurboGrafx-16. I got it for a fairly decent price from Amazon. No box or manuals, but the hardware is in very good condition and everything works great. 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
Yeah finding deals on Turbografx 16 games is not an easy task. If you're patient they do come along though. The first game you really need to get is Blazing Lazers! Incredible game and not very expensive.
R-Type is pretty awesome on the TG. Or you could just get an Everdrive instead ...
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.

Saturn cases even new, they still crack easy.
Never seen either of those games beforeÂ
I will have to check them out.
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.
Congo is based on the movie, right?

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).
Don't have either of those, so I'll check them out.
Following Lairds recent visit to Bletchley MK and his Cash Converters haul, when my wife mentioned she was going to Bletchley on Friday I asked her to see what they had left. She phoned me from the store on the day I got paid and here is the result (http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ZmE3TzDgLSM/UwkHJoAVIYI/AAAAAAAAFHQ/GuwVhQ9k05U/w958-h719-no/2014-02-22+20.20.56.jpg)
Nice one! They certainly didn't have those ones when I was in there! If they did I would have snapped up R-Type for sure!
I just picked up a new/sealed copy of Vertical Force for the Virtual Boy. I love buying sealed retro games and ripping them open like when i was younger. Brings back such good memories.

Amen. Games should be played, not left on a shelf to gather dust!
I visited every used video game store and pawn shop in town, looking for any TurboGrafx games I could fine. Nothin' - but I did find a Craigslist ad. 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. Not anything rare but I thought it was a decent price for three of the TG16 better games.
Excellent stuff! All 3 of those games are great, especially Blazing Lazers - that is my favourite TurboGrafx game!Â

Definitely a good find, especially for Craig's list. Blazing Lasers alone goes for $25-$30 plus you got two other classics, Congrats!
Went into my local video game store today and bought some great retro compilations.
Taito Legends on the PS2, and Intellivision Lives and Tecmo Classic Arcade for the Xbox.
Also got the Data East Arcade Classics game for the Wii recently. Tons of great gamesÂ

I've been after them for a while and they both were just sat there looking awesome so had to buy. To be honest there was so much good stuff. The guy was at the last revival and had good stuff. He had chrono trigger, ff's and mario rpg all boxed and clean for the SF. Had to resist lol

Picked up Cool Spot and Columns for the Sega Master System from Game World in Leicester today.
Just picked up Ballblazer, Barnyard Blaster & Planet Smashers (box only for this one, as I already have the cart) for the Atari 7800, and White Men Can't jump for the Jag. Also picked up a wired Xbox 360 pad and OTG adapter for a spare android tab that I have in the office for a bit of emulation.
Very nice, avick. Ballblazer is excellent!
Agreed there, Ballblazer is worth getting for the music alone!Â

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.
Finally able to play some classic Vectrex games and Impressed does not even begin to describe my feelings.

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).
Nice pick-ups anyway!Â
Thanks Laird! I do have Dragon's Fury on its way as well. ;)
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

Nice pick-up! You will love Ghostbusters if you like platformers!
Thunder Force III is considered by many as the best in the series, personally I prefer the second game but they are all really good!
I tried them all out already and they are all excellent games. I just need to read the instructions for them! I played to test them out and, clearly, I need to read how to do some stuff! LOL
I just got my latest purchases, Laser Ghost, and Bank Panic for the Master System Light Phaser. I also picked up Laser Blast for the 2600 (http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gWFABzwLw6w/UxDO38b_U2I/AAAAAAAAFQs/OojF-7xT_fw/w958-h719-no/2014-02-28+17.58.32.jpg)

Thanks! Those two Sega CD games took forever to get here. The Post Office is really having issues. It took both of those more than 2 weeks to arrive even though they had been mailed Priority Mail. Final Fight was even shipped from within Florida! It should have arrived in one day!Â

Great pick-ups there Trek, I love the MD version of Pac-Mania and Klax is good too, if not as good as the Lynx version.
This week I picked up some more empty Mega Drive boxes so I could get the last of my loose games boxed. These were all Japanese games and you can now see what they look like after I printed off the inlays and put them in:

Nice haul! Especially that Elemental Master. One of my favorite shooters on the Megadrive.
I picked up Elemental Master at a pawn shop for a couple bucks years ago now, and to be honest I've probably played it for less then an hourÂ
 Guess I better try it some more if it's that good a game!
Amazing game, deffo up there with the best shooters on the MD.
Nice set of boxes there, Laird! I don't have Klax on my consoles (I have it for the 7800 but it won't work on my console for some reason), so I wanted to at least have a version and the Genesis version should be a good one.Â

Great pick-ups there Trek, I have the 6 button version of the arcade stick - they are really great.
I need to pick-up those 3 games myself as I love Snow Bros and Contra and have great memories of Arch Rivals, which I owned when I was younger.
I am guessing that Snow Bros is a repro though as it was never released outside of Japan.
Snow Bros is a repro, correct. And it came from Japan.Â
I just picked up 3 new games for the Atari XL/XE. The 2 Sirius games are still sealed and absolutely mint!
I was really pleased to grab these as I had never even heard of them so they can't be very common and got a great price on them!

Excellent! Good start to the collection too!
Now make sure you get STUN Runner next if you really want to be blown away!
Congratulations, Jagman67! Those first games you got are also a good way to start off.Â
I bought this week:
-Donkey Kong Country (CIB) snes
-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.
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 may take off the shrink, or atleast the top of the shrink. Seen too many crushed Lynx boxes in my time.
Picked up another copy of Rampage for IBM PC, complete in dark orange box (my other copy that I had was in a bright yellow box). Got it for a buck at a yard sale. Also picked up Project Gotham Racing (Xbox) and my fiancée picked up a PGA Tour game from 2003 or something for Xbox (she doesn't follow golf so the names of the people is no biggie for her).
Bought from a guy at work. He wanted £15 for them all.
I pointed out that there were two copies of Warlords and the others were fairly common.
So he took £10.
I feel a bit bad. But not much!

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

As its ex office it actually slides back and forth and has a cable stash, sure to come in handy lol

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
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.
Today the guy I work with came in and handed me these which he found in his mums loft..

Here is some additional Genesis stuff that arrived today. I really wanted to get one of the the Micro Machines Turbo games but they are quite difficult to find.

Quote from: "The Laird"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. 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!
Quote from: "TrekMD"Congratulations, Jagman67! Those first games you got are also a good way to start off. :45:
Jagman I am really surprised that you bought AvP for the LYNX as one of your first games. There really isn't that much to it, other than a small tech demo really. I would hardly call it a game.

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.

I just interviewed him (D. Scott Williamson) for Retro Gamer, the interview I got from him was absolutely amazing - I was honestly blown away by the level of information he gave me!

Great stuff! I love Toy Story on Genesis!
I got lucky and had one of the Micro Machines Turbo games come in the bundle with the console I bought.
Been pretty tempted to get The Lion King also, have heard good thing about it.
Here's a few random acquisitions from the past week or so:
(http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z429/ajvick/IMG_20140327_134421.jpg)
Three very good Atari 7800 pick-ups there!
I got these in the post today, I was incredibly please with this lot as 3 of the games are still sealed and it includes several of the rarer XEGS games. I have never even seen a Crime Buster before so that must be very scarce!

You should see the new Kart Klub, especially if you thought the old shop was awesome . . . .
I did indeed
have they moved or upgraded/refitted? I haven't been down that way for a while. Things financially this year are looking a lot better and I'm getting a big bonus this month and another smaller one next month so I will be getting some retro events back on my calendar soon if for no other reason than to try and find some tasty bargains

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!
I am going to be at ROM (new name for Retrovision) a week tomorrow and I can't wait!
Today I received some boxes I had ordered for games that didn't have boxes but there is one in particular that I wanted to post because it is such a unique homebrew release. I had already posted a picture of the cassette with the instrctions but this is better. :4:

Quote from: "64bitRuss"I still don't understand how you get a videogame off a cassette tape!
The binary code is converted into sounds that the input device converts back into binary code for the console to play. Have you ever heard the sounds from a fax machine's transmission? Something similar.Â

Dang, that's a very nice set of games and the price can't be beat.
I picked these up at the Post Office today. They had arrived on Saturday but I was not home. They look great! I have to apply one of the sets to my Vectrex to get it "dressed up."

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.

Good job Trek, you now have the complete Sega tower of power! I have the model one Genesis and Sega CD like you do, and I'll admit the 32X looks better with the model two consoles, but it's still a cool add-on to haveÂ
Yes, the 32X was designed with the model 2 in mind. No matter, as long as it does the job.Â
 I got what are supposed to be the better games for it. And yes, I now have the entire tower!Â

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.
Good games! I was just playing MAT3 yesterday, love those Midway arcade racing games!
That's a cool mix of games there!

Very nice, I would like to have one of those myself.Â
Thanks. I was pleasantly surprised to have found it on Amazon. This new, sealed game sold for nearly $100 less than a sealed cart on Ebay and for $50 less than a CIB. If I get tired of it, I should be able to get my money back easily.Â

Never heard of it but, if it only cost you £2, it doesn't matter if it isn't very good.Â

Yeah that seem a great price. Still a lot of moola though.
All great Saturn imports, Cotton 2 in particular. 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. Cotton Boomerang is no slouch either.
Cotton 2 is fantastic. Cotton boomerang is on the list too lol. I'd like it on the MD as well.

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.
Thanks. I think I now have the 7 better titles for the 32X.Â

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.

Brand new Gates of Zendocon in a big-ass box! Seriously though, how come the box is so big for this one game?
You can actually get all of the original Lynx launch games in these special edition big boxes (California Games, Blue Lightning and Electrocop too) but the Gates Of Zendocon one is by far the most common for some reason.

Cool, I'll have to keep an eye out for the others. You're not kidding about it being common, I paid next to nothing for it!
And why were they so big to begin with?
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...

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)

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.
Wow, that's quite the find! And free?!? Awesome!
Not sure if you realise but the ROM cartridges go for an absolute fortune!Â
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
What sort of games are listed in the Spectrum book?
Great find Doug and good to see you around again.
Here is my latest pickup..
All this for £16. Bargain

@Zapiy nice start on the Lynx and well worth having one.
@Jagman67 I found the MSX interesting in emulation but have resisted the temptation to get into it. How about some pics for the curious?

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)
I just picked up this Mega Drive game from Japan after I saw it going rather cheap!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Sealing (//http)
Probably a reproduction of some sort. The cart would not back up on my Retrode. Almost afraid to plug it into my Sega Genesis and find out it's a dud :p

Awesome! I've seen this on ebay here in the US but I don't know if it'll work on system.
You will need a Japanese Adapter or something like an Action Replay cartridge for it to work on a Genesis.
OK, good to know. I've seen some of these Japanese imports on Ebay before but I've never considered them because I didn't know whether they'd work or not. Thanks.

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/008_zps9192d290.jpg) (//http)
Got a bundle of videogame related comics for £1

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.

That's a nice lot of stuff. The Jaguar lot is excellent and it does like a bargain for all the stuff you got!
Nice haul! The GBA TV adapter is pretty cool and great deal on the Jag lot!
Some amazing pick-ups there, the Jag was an absolute bargain!Â
Had these arrive today. Time to update the collection thread.

Cool! Nice set of games.Â
Thanks. I'm looking forward to trying them out, especially

I need to get more of these myself.
I'm waiting for a couple of repro carts from Canada right now. I've already printed the inserts for the boxes.Â

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.

Snow Bros. is at the top of page 4 if you need that too.
Awesome, thank you! I am printing these and replacing the ones I had made.Â
I've used the images from that site to change the inserts and it is night and day. Thank you for pointing me there! Have a look...

Quote from: "zapiy"Some cool purchased there fella. What's the video touch pad for?
The Video TouchPad is for Star Raiders specifically. It is compatible with games that use the Kid's controller as well as the principle is the same.Â
Ok this isn't really a retro purchase in the purest sense but it is a purchase for a retro console. The amazing HANZO VGA Box for Dreamcast. I am in love with this device so far

That looks cool!
IT was hand made by a guy in turkey and is truly superb, check out Adam Koraliks video on it he goes into great detail, and here is where to get one, it cost me a ridiculously reasonable £40 including postage and for Dreamcast VGAs that is astounding value for the best option on the market

That does look pretty awesome fella.
Just bought:
Hidden and Dangerous (Dreamcast £1.50 at the car boot complete with the manual and covers etc.)
Altered Beast (Megadrive £2.99 boxed with the manual / covers)
Micro Machines 2 (Megadrive £2.99 boxed with the manual / covers)
Nokia N-Gage with Tomb Raider & Sonic N (Games boxed with the manuals and console immaculate £24.99 though, bit of a hole in the pocket but what's life without a tiny screened tomb raider port?)
Good mix of games there, ashley!
Thanks :-)

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).

Quote from: "ashleybrierley"Just bought:
Metroid Prime

Awesome deal. It sounds like you snatched them up for a great price. Coincidentally, I just finished my first playthrough of Metroid Prime, and I think it's one of the strongest games on the system. It represents all of the best elements of the Metroid series while making a successful transition to the FPS genre. 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. 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. Super Mario Sunshine is a true work of art and really showcases the graphical power and charm of the Nintendo GameCube. The water gun mechanics are an interesting addition to what should otherwise feel like a familiar control scheme. The whimsical story got my attention early and held my interest pretty firmly. I hope you enjoy those two games.

I played Super Mario Sunshine years ago but have only recently acquired a GameCube again...really want Luigi's mansion again!
Metroid is rated really well and looking forward to playing through it (as soon as I finish completing the original tomb raider again).

Sega GT - Xbox
Return To Castle Wolfenstein - Xbox
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (one of my all time favourites) - Xbox
Last Battle - Megadrive
Half Life Generation (Complete Half-Life 1 collection) - PC

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!
Awesome stuff! The CDX is a great buy too!Â

Nice to see the Sega CD still being supported. Cool looking games!
Thanks ice!
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.
Thanks for the heads-up. Still, sounds like good investment.
Replaced my crappy looking Xplosiv releases of The Longest Journey and Dreamfall with the originals.

Nice controller, much better then the square edged originals!
Quote from: "Shadowrunner"Nice controller, much better then the square edged originals!
Yes, they were made for the NES-101 and not many were made. I think they used the SNES controller as a model for it since the 101 was released after the SNES.
Great pickups! That Intellivision box and cart reminds me of being a kid an looking at all the display boxes behind the glass cases. I would stare at rows of games for what seemed like hours. Good way to keep a kid busy while the rest of the family shopped. Nothing would move me except for needing a dime. Hey, back then the restrooms had pay locks. 10 cents if I recall correctly. >:(Â

Those were the days...
Yep!
That NES controller looks fantastic and always great to see new Mega Drive/Genesis games.
The controller is in perfect condition. Someone was selling two for a lower price but the bottom looked like they had been dragged over pavement!

Nice!
Excellent pickup, Vyo!
I recently spent a small fortune on two Game Boy Pokémon games.Â
Here's the stuff that arrived this week...

You got Chuck Rock thenÂ
Quote from: "Vyothric"You got Chuck Rock then ;) Haven't had a chance to play it yet. I've been writing reviews like a nutcase.
Where you get that from pal?
Are you referring to Chuck Rock, Zap? If so, I got it on Ebay. The carts are easy to get, it's the CD version that's hard to find and expensive. Chuck II is easy to find in both formats.

Nice one fella. Fancy doing a review on it for us?
Some more new things.

I also have a different big box version of Jedi Knight.
(http://www.diffusedion.co.uk/images/NewGames5-s2.jpg) (//http)
I picked these games up for £2 earlier today.

From the car boot on the weekend. Also (not pictured) a boxed A500 (it's pretty yellow though).
(http://www.diffusedion.co.uk/images/ComputerStack-s2.jpg) (//http)
My latest old PC (left tower) - a Pentium II 233. I now have 6 PC's. This one will have Windows 95 on it.
(http://www.diffusedion.co.uk/images/525.jpg) (//http)
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.
That's quite the mix of things! There are even Star Trek movies in there.Â
Yeah, there's a local auction for some more Star Trek VHS tapes that I'm keeping an eye on too.
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.

I only picked up a GX4000 lol, need to wait till the weekend to play it.
I really don't know anything about the GX4000, other than what people here have said about it, and they never have anything good to say :)
Decided to spruce up a few Jag titles with these:

(http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z429/ajvick/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140929_131843.jpg)
Nice looking rotary! I've never seen that one before.
Thanks! Apparently made by Jonathan Ascough. I have another one that I made myself, but this one is far nicer
Very nice! You'll love playing Tempest 2K with the rotary!
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.

My latest purchase was from the London Film and Comic Con last weekend. I bought Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg for the Gamecube. Been meaning to pick it up for a while now so I was very happy with my purchase.

Congratulations on getting the game! It's always a nice feeling finding something one has been after for some time.Â
OK, here are two games that arrived today. I have some stuff coming that I'll wait to group together before I post it as it'll take a few days to come in.

Some great games there obrie
I've been looking for Twinkle Star Sprites, but for the Neo Geo CD, for a long time now. Doesn't seem to matter what platform it's on, it's expensive as hell!
Yeah Shadow i love twinkle star sprites it's brilliant in 2 playerÂ
i noticed it is quite a hit in the pocket on Neo i scored quite lucky it cost me about £38 quid i think and it was complete perfect condition.Mind i have noticed the items i purchase off yahoo japan are nearly always pristine,the japanese really look after and care for their stuff no matter what it is.

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!
Some nice purchases by you guys recently.
The Jag rotary controller is ace!
Trek, I noticed you picked up ESWAT. Have you tried it out yet?

Devil Crash is an awesome pinball game.
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

That lot looks pretty sweet Trek. The Special Edition Sturmwind too!
Also loving the DC light gun games there.
Do you know what, I never realised Silent Scope was by Konami. I just assumed it was Sega as its quite Sega stylistic, if I recall correctly.
Some good times ahead mateÂ
Wow that's some collection you are amassing fella.
Thanks guys!Â
Great score with Sturmwind, that's the version I have too and it's really nice. Toy Commander is a favourite of mine too

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
Very nice additions fella.. The Xbox looks a little battered though, move that on and get yourself a mint one or better still get a mint one and put coin-ops on that one.Â
I may get another Xbox in better condition and sell that one. I was going to get a replacement case but it costs way too much.
I totally forgot to take pictures of these! Both arrived during the weekend...

Yes it is. It has an LP in the back and comes with a code to download the music as well.
Battle Engine Aquila and XIII are two of the Xbox's stand out games, well worth some of your time.....
Quote from: "WiggyDiggyPoo"Battle Engine Aquila and XIII are two of the Xbox's stand out games, well worth some of your time.....
Thanks. I got Aquila based on reviews. XIII was a recommendation from Michael Thomasson during FreePlay Florida.Â
Last night I bought this bundle which includes a C64 (unfortunately without any cables or tape deck) (donations welcome haha), about 90 games, 2 Mega CD games, Super Nintendo with 2 official controllers and PGA Tour Golf
Nice bundle!

Nice haul Trek. Are you managing to get your Dreamcast games at decent prices?
Quote from: "JoeMusashi"Nice haul Trek. Are you managing to get your Dreamcast games at decent prices?
Thanks and yes. I've gotten some very nice deals. Most games under $10, heck, many at $5!
Great finds everyone!
I picked up a couple Dreamcast imports last week and they arrived yesterday.

I've wanted Cosmic Smash for a long time so I'm pretty happy, and I got it for a good price too
Nice! Enjoy!
Quote from: "onthinice"Nice! Enjoy!

OK, I got a better Xbox console to replace the battered up one I had gotten. This one came with the DVD remote controller and a game.

Indeed. Have Fun!!!
Was out shopping yesterday and saw a pile of decent MD games:
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm55/Lorfarius/photo_zps8a611d0a.jpg)
To top it off I've gone and ordered a region free MegaDrive and MegaCD
Great pick-ups! Love the look of Quackshot-Castle of Illusion!
Yes, that Quackshot/Castle of Illusion looks like a great find.
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. 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
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!
I've had to do that with many of the carts I get. There is just lots of gunk on them but the alcohol does the trick.Â
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.
Nice collection there Keith, i take it your Mr Sega now?
Don't be saying that or you'll set me off buying Nintendo stuffÂ
Sounds like you've been bit by the bug Lorfarius!
Hey gents it's been a long time. Apologise but work commitments took over my life and now I'm back in the land of the living. Just wanted to share this new purchase. When it arrives I'll post some better pics as it comes with its own little scratch pad lol. (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/16/2a9328e941d955a30ec7a9cba1b28651.jpg)

Just bought that Dragon Force today locally. Impulse buy. I mean, it's not everyday you get a gem in the wild anymore.
Nice stuff!Â
Some lovely pickups there fella..
Dragon Force is a great game, not played that in such a bloody long time.
Dragon Force is definitely one of the best games on the system (and one of my favorites). I only see that price going up in the future, so it's a great investment.
Here are the arrivals for this past week...

Good stuff! I really like Rush 2049, never tried the fishing controller but I bet it's a lot of fun.
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.
Nice games there! I've been looking for Giga Wing but it is rather expensive to get. The ones I've found also have the white label, not the black. Is there a difference?
A week ago I bought one of the new Intellivision Flashback systems and I've been playing that a lot.
Does that count as a retro purchase?
Quote from: "ls650"A week ago I bought one of the new Intellivision Flashback systems and I've been playing that a lot.

I'd say, yes. It may be an emulation system but you're playing retro games on it.Â
Quote from: "TrekMD"Nice games there! I've been looking for Giga Wing but it is rather expensive to get. The ones I've found also have the white label, not the black. Is there a difference?
I don't know about different instruction manuals. But I got Giga Wing on Amazon for $50 brand new and free shipping. Good deal if you ask me.
Cool. I'll be checking on Amazon then. Thanks.
Quote from: "TrekMD"Nice games there! I've been looking for Giga Wing but it is rather expensive to get. The ones I've found also have the white label, not the black. Is there a difference?
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
Quote from: "TrekMD"Cool. I'll be checking on Amazon then. Thanks.
I guess I didn't have free shipping on that one. No matter, it was $48.40 + shipping from Game Express Online through amazon. Cheaper than used copies on ebay!

Some nice DC gear there Russ.
Haven't bought much in a while, but just got this to add to my Hyper Neo Geo 64 collection
(http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z429/ajvick/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150114_123440.jpg)
I know next to nothing about the Hyper Neo Geo 64, what exactly did you get there?
The NG 64 main board came in three varieties - fighting, shooting and driving. Each board would only take the cart of the correct category - I have the fighting board, which only has 4 different game carts. This one is called Buriki 1. As far as I can remember, there are even less games for the other two boards
Cool! Thanks for the info
I bought a region free PS2 yesterday! I'd been looking for one for a while and finally found a good deal that I couldn't pass up. Really looking forward to diving into the Japanese PS1 and 2 library, so many great arcade and retro game compilations that were never released in the west

This little oddity turned up from Poland
(http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z429/ajvick/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150120_111206.jpg)
Not so odd, I hear you say....well, normally it wouldn't be, but this one is for the Atari Jaguar ... well, for those games that don't make use of the keypad
Looks like someone took the Genesis/MD controller and made a version for the Jaguar.Â
The guy in Poland who found those controllers is selling about two dozen of them on AtariAge. I decided to buy one, I'll post my comments in the Jaguar thread.
Exactly where I got it from. Might be a while before I get to use it as the Mrs has decided to use my games room as a dumping griund
Well, here is stuff that I've gotten over the past two weeks. Some of it on Ebay and some of it at the convention I was at this weekend.

Quote from: "Shadowrunner"Great stuff Trek! What's the NES style controller for?
It's a bluetooth controller. It can be used with any device that works with that type of controller.Â
Giga Wing is awesome, literally just played it this week lol
James Pond II is a funny game also (-;
Some awesome pickups of late guys.

Nice set of games there!
I like Mega Drive art more often than US Genesis art, although that Golden Axe insert, while good, is pretty gay. lol
Couple of PS2 and Xbox Nice and cheap (-;

The box features no screenshots from the game, only the arcade lol

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.
Cool. Looks like you got a nice bonus.Â
Gunhed is awesome! One of my favourites

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
I had the very same concern when I received it. I was hoping they'd just send the insert flat or only bent in one place. Surprisingly, it works fairly well and the marks are not as obvious once in a case. I was wondering what BITS meant and was laughing when I read it in the kit.Â
Technically not a purchase as a work colleague has donated me his sons old computers :113:
Nice pick ups. Can you fix the issue with the tape recorder?
Quote from: "TrekMD"Nice pick ups. Can you fix the issue with the tape recorder?
Its just a power lead so hopefully, can always use battery if needs be.
C64 is working, playing The Last Ninja nowÂ
Good on both counts.Â
Bought my first two NES catridges (And my first cartridges ever) off of Amazon q few days ago
Cool! What games did you get?
Yoshi and TMNT
Good start
Excellent Jixson. You'll be having some fun when those arrive.
Great pickups you lot. Trek you help support the homebrew community on your own lol and wiggy that's a nice haul fella.
Quote from: "zapiy"Great pickups you lot. Trek you help support the homebrew community on your own lol...
Wiggy i believe i had one of those back up boards for my c64 and if i remember correctly it enabled 2 casette decks to be linked to enable copying of games,bit pointless even then seeing as most people had twin tape decks.Nice bit of uncommon kit never the less.

Ive been doing some digging and the company that made them later became another company called Trilogic, then again 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!
Not a lot of stuff this week but it is GOOD stuff! I'm one of the Executive Producers for Boulder Dash on Intellivision, so I do have more than one copy of the game.

Ay I'm going to really have to knuckle down and play some of these, I keep buying and not playing!
Let us know what you think about Test Drive 6 - I think I played the PS1 version back in the day and wasnt overlly impressd so a DC version
could be better?
I've read some reviews and they did paint it as a good version. Maybe not stellar, but good.
Nothing outstanding, but I got "mates rates" on these. Verrrry happy to add onto my Tomb Raider collection.

More PS2, all unboxed.
Picks for me are Kingdom Hearts II, Bully and Manhunt 2.

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.

Midnight Club is a race series I'm a big fan of, I have all the console versions now.
Mace Griffin is definitely a hidden gem, and Secret Weapons was one of the best MP titles on the system especially online.
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.

The Sega ultimate collection is awesome! So many classics, and in HD with trophies/achievements
I totally agree Shadow mate it is indeed a good collection,lots of classics and the unlockables are a lovely touch..just a shame ive just bought Fantasy Zone for the saturn and the bloody arcade version is an unlockable.Never mind you can never have to much Fantasy Zone
and im looking forward to getting into the phantasy star and shining series.
I bought this lovely piece of hardware today.. But where I could buy a SD-card interface/module?
Here's the stuff I got over the past 2 weeks or so. Some of these I got at the 8-Bit Hall of Fame store in Bonita Springs, FL...including the GameCube which became an unexpected gift.

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

Thanks! I tried to get a nice mix to start the set.Â
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.

I just received the games, so I haven't had a chance to play them yet. I do not have a force feedback steering wheel controller, though. I bet that makes the experience of playing the game much better!
Inspired by this forum to get an Atari 2600. Excited to say I finally managed to buy one with 12 games
Cool! Let us know what you think of it after you try it out
Got this on the way:

What's the battle star game like Trek?
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...

Yep, that's a nice one! Got it from someone at AA who has custom made these.Â
Have I got a rare plug and play??
I picked up a megadrive plug and play with street fighter 2 and ghouls and ghosts, 2x controllers with 6 button and street fighter 2 printed on both controllers!
I only payed £4.
Not sure its rare but a good price anyway.
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?

Bargain is right, great price for all that!
Wow, that is some bargain!
Wow you have done really well there. Ah i do love the classic Halo!
I see you have Black in there. Excellent game.
Quote from: "JoeMusashi"I see you have Black in there. Excellent game.
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.

Quote from: "TrekMD"Cool, I have incoming. Added the review recently. What region is that one from? Looks different to mine.
I assume PAL. If dreamcast goes by that....
Yes reliving my childhood, used to play this on the PC.
I seem to remember playing Incoming briefly. Is it like a modern take on Missile Command, with you're controlling a gun turret?
Quote from: "JoeMusashi"I seem to remember playing Incoming briefly. Is it like a modern take on Missile Command, with you're controlling a gun turret?
The gun turret is one of the "vehicles" you control. You also have a chopper, a plane, and a tank.Â
It's quite satisfying when you shoot down a big ufo. Also I like when the game shouts incoming before the next wave.
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.

I did pick up one of these last week:

Cool! What's the picture quality like on laser discs, somewhere between a VHS and a DVD?
Depends on the player but just a bit below DVD. The best part is the artwork and foldouts you get, they practically write small novels on some of them for extra features!
That looks awesome! And the DS9 artwork on that looks fantastic!
I'm half tempted to stick it on the wall it looks that good!
Laserdisc - The LP of the video worldÂ
Been getting a few LDs through the post, fav so far has been the original Star Wars. The boxset looks amazing with a neat silver trim:
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm55/Lorfarius/ddffd_zpskxrsme4w.jpg)
Sadly Han doesn't shoot first
That's awesome! What version of the movies does that have? Just how changed from the originals? I keep hoping Disney will release cleaned up versions of the originals that are just that. Cleaned up.
The ones Lucas botched with his crappy re-special effects
Jabba tail stepping etc.
Well, even those versions have been further modified on future releases!Â
Aww would love to get a laserdisc player. How much did that set you back?
The player was £100 but you can pay up to £200 if you go for a high end one. Only worth paying out if it's PAL/NTSC these days though.
Yea definitely no point in getting a PAL only player. I bet the NTSC library is bigger anyways
Not sure but you can get them so easily over here, films usually cost a coupe of quid.

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.
Here are my arrivals for this past week. As you can see, I just received the latest Jaguar homebrew by Der Luchs.

Just received PRincess CRown and Capcon Generations 3
Only 2 needed to complete the generations collection
Cool, some great games on those Capcom collections!
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!

Nice work trek. I loved Enter the Matrix!
Great work. PGR was up there with one of my favorites when I had an Xbox.
Thanks guys. I figured for $1, it was hard to go wrong.Â
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
Looks like you got quite the bargain yourself!
This turned up in the post this morning:
(http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z429/ajvick/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150728_105241.jpg)
I've also picked up JoyTech screens for my PS2 and GameCube, and a JagLink. Now that I have two Jag's, I figured it was about time I hooked them up for some serious multiplayer.
That's awesome. I'm waiting on mine.Â
Â
I'll be one of the only times us folks in the UK get a Jag release before you guys in the US! Gaztee has produced a superb package again - the quality is excellent.

And finally 2 new pc engine games! Nectaris (or you may know it better as military madness, or original creators of advance wars) great game, and deep blue an underwater shooter! Paid I think £5 each
That's cool. I had never seen that GC controller before. Are those expensive to get?
Quote from: "TrekMD"That's cool. I had never seen that GC controller before. Are those expensive to get?
You haven't heard of a wave bird? :O
They aren't really expensive but about £30-£35 if they are complete like mine (receiver and controller in good condition)
Just the receiver itself can be expensive as everyone lost theirs! Haha

Oh man, Deep Blue is brutal, I tried to 1cc about two months ago. It was so tough, I almost cried.
@Akuza I'm new to the GC, so I'm learning about the system and the extras for it.Â

Huge fan of the wavebird. Have one myself and they normally sell on eBay for a fair bit more than 10!
Yes, I checked on Ebay. They are not cheap. Good ones sell between $35 and $45. I'm thinking of getting one.Â
You won't regret it trek ! They are awesome. Worth every penny even at 30. But push for lower (obviously haha)

I had the itch for a new piece of gaming hardware yesterday, so after looking around ebay for a couple of hours I bought an Atari XE! It comes with the light gun, controller, and a few games and looks like it's in great condition. I will post some pics when it shows up. Time to explore the world of the Atari 8 bit
I'm not too familiar with the Atari 8 bits.
I've just Googled it and looks like a pretty neat machine. Similar style to the ST.
Be interested to see it mate.
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
Just received Princess Crown on saturn and apart from not being able to understand the narrative its a really nice game. :102:
Here's some stuff that's arrived over the past 10 days or so...

Trek, where do you store all this stuff?
Quote from: "zapiy"Trek, where do you store all this stuff?
I have an artificial singularity in the house for some stuff and a T.A.R.D.I.S. on another spot for the other stuff.Â
pmsl, so a huge house...
Some nice stuff there trek especially the mega man and wave bird
Thank you, Akuza.Â

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!
Just In case your thinking where have I seen this, you may have seen it in the arcade or named "super buster bros" in America
Been wanting this for a while to use with my super advantage!
Pang is a brilliant game in the arcade. Never played the SNES version though. I'll have to check it out.
Shame about the front of the box. Looks like someone has peeled a sticker off it or something.
Never-the-less, looks like a cool game you got there!
I know, I may try and get a better box later down the line, but just really wanted the game and couldn't turn it down, an unboxed copy is like £20-£25 something like that and this was £15 so I couldn't say no as I really wanted it! Haha
Looks like you got a very nice deal!

It''s here! I just tried it out and it works great. I even remembered enough basic from high school computer class to play around with that a bit
Oh wow, that looks gorgeous!
Looks terrific. I love the box as well, looks in great shape.
Thanks guys
Yeah, it's in great condition so I'm really happy with it!
In beatiful condition fella. Looks truly brand new of the shelf. Happy gaming Atari'ing!!

You sure get stuff quickly! Classic Kong is a great game
I got lucky and saw it being sold by Piko on Ebay since they no longer sell it at their online store.Â
Water Margin came quick lol.
Just bagged an Atari Jaguar Pro Controller for pittance!
Nice, they can be very expensive!
Quote from: "Shadowrunner"Nice, they can be very expensive!
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!

My Jaguar Official Gamer's Guide arrived today! Sad I'd never heard of this but it's here now and I'm gonna read it cover to cover. Amazing!
You should post that controller in the "Are you taking the piss?" thread! LOL

Now, that's good stuff LOL
LOLÂ Yes, it sure is!Â
I would love a jaguar, but they sell for so much on Ebay
. I shall keep looking in those car boots.
If you do pick one up let me know. I've bought some big lots of Jaguar games over the past few years and have a ton of duplicates. I don't like selling on ebay so I'd give you a great deal

Very nice!
Those are awesome Shadowrunner!
Here are my arrivals for the past 10 days or so. The Sega CD and Dreamcast games come from Retro Fox's store and it all looks fantastic. All the SNES games I've gotten do work with the Retron N5.

Nice!
Great score! Seeing the cover is making me want to play some SMB3
Some classics there Akuza
Brilliant pickups chap...
Thanks guys, probably one of my best pick ups even though I was in Scotland when i arranged the pick up at my house in England haha I do have a few bits I picked up in Scotland I'll post up, I was hoping it would have been an untapped gold mine.. But no sadly not.
I know I was meant to be posting other stuff but just got a hack / repro or whatever you call it through!
(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b373/bhk1/A8CBBDA2-F8B5-46D1-9294-02DBF93760B3_zps0jcwbcwp.jpg)

I'm guessing that's a hack of Sonic? Never seen it before.
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!
That's cool. How different is the character from Sonic?
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
Cool, let us know!Â
That looks great, congrats. I've always wanted to get a hack put in a real cart. Will be watching for more on this as I've never heard of the game.
Never knew about this either.. Look forward to your thoughts.
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.
Cool, so looks like Mighty merges skills from both characters. Too bad about the cart, though.
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
Here are my arrivals for the week. I was expecting one more item, but it seems to be delayed.

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.
Great condition on those Star Wars games!
Thanks guys. The Action 53, I believe, comes from a competition. The cart actually has 16 different games from that competition. This is the second such cartridge compilation.Â
The Star Wars carts are in great condition indeed. I wanted to get CIB but they were too expensive so I've assembled by own versions for under $20. Custom box, loose cart, and separate instruction manual.Â
So today was a good day at the carboot. (Or flea market as it would be called in America!)

Never found an intellevision before or even seen one in real life, but all this bundle for £30!
All the rest was just a couple of quid!
You got all that for £30!? That is a fantastic deal with all those games and even a boxed console! Welcome to Intellivision, BTW.
I know literally nothing about the intellevision! Haha just knew to grab it for that price!
I oddly enough already having skiing and demon attack loose that I got with big bunch of other stuff. But awesome to see and have the boxed versions now
Check out the reviews that we have here for the Intellivision games. Believe it or not, the console is a 16-bit system and it has some really cool games. The homebrews for it are amazing with D2K Arcade probably being the best example.Â
Good grief that's a nice haul. Congrats on the mega score lol.
At that price, sounds like it was a steal and that Intellivision is just awesome. Man I would like one of those!
A few nice additions to my master system collection!

Great looking lot. Super Mario World with a box, that's pretty awesome. Mine was the pack-in and never knew there was a box or separately sold game. Metal Slug Anthology rocks! Nice score
That's a custom-made box for Super Mario World, actually. I don't know if there ever was a real boxed version of that particular title.Â
They did make a boxed retail version as well but because it was the pack-in for so long I assume they didn't make a lot. They come up on ebay but can be expensive. Great games you got there
Thanks Shadow! If that's the case, even the boxes themselves would sell for lots of money on ebay.
Here are my purchases for the past couple of weeks...

Good selection. What's the story on Alpha Race?
Thanks! Alpha Race is a homebrew that is a clone of Omega Race. Not quite exactly a port but quite similar. You can see info here about it: New Atari 7800 Homebrew - Alpha Race! (//http)

Nice looking game
Awesome additions. Haven't seen the cover for the original SFII in ages
Went to visit my sister-in-law this weekend, and she'd dug these little beauties out for me

Always wanted Donkey Kong as a kid, but never got it.
Nice score on the handhelds!
Those look awesome
Thanks. Yeah, always had a bit of a thing for the old handhelds. Still have my Donkey Kong junior and snoopy tennis

Looks great on that original (design) cart
Hope it's as fun as it appeared to be in the ad.

Those are really a sight to behold
Congrats, that Zaxxon and Pier Solar really stand out! Some real gems.
Thanks!Â
Â
Pier Solar looks great, my copy is in the mail
Awesome! Did you also get the guide book?
I backed the Kickstarter for the CE which also includes the guide. There's some other stuff too but it's been so long I don't even remember what all is included. It will be a surprise when I open it!
That's cool.Â
Not full games but an interesting lot all the same, especially Demolition Man. The sequences where Mr Stallone says "you suck" etc are quite funny.
That's cool. It's a bit of Jaguar history.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!
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
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
OK, here are my latest items. The 2600, Dremcast, and 7800 games all came from FreePlay Florida.

Nice haul! Wind and Water is a great game.
Quote from: "Shadowrunner"Nice haul! Wind and Water is a great game.
Cool. It only cost $17!Â
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.

Ghost Blade looks great!
Cool. These new Bonus Cards look very nice. Better than the original release.
Great items TrekMD! Really like those Sega titles.
This arrived today. Glad the wait is finally over and respect to RGC for making the 2nd run.
Mighty glad to have this in my collection

This just arrived! So many games to play and the Carol vs the World tournament on top of it. Woohoo!
I need to get a perfect score in Alice's Mom's Rescue and I plan to do it on this cart. Have the CD version too but saving that accolade for this special edition. :113:

Oh, awesome, you got the cartridge version!Â
Quote from: "TrekMD"Oh, awesome, you got the cartridge version!
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
That's cool. And this came boxed and all.Â
I have the game on CD but that cartridge and box look very nice!
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.
Excellent stuff
This "little" book arrived today...

Got a few bits today...
Pier Solar for the MD
Everdrive MD V3
RGB scart to HDMI upscaler
Just need the MD I purchased to turn up now !
Cool, Pier Solar is a great game!
Sold my PS4 and purchased a MD, Everdrive MD, Pier Solar, the upscaler and a GPD XD for on the road retro gaming
That's a nice lot for the PS4.Â
 Didn't like the console much?
It's more of a timing thing Trek. Current gen games seem to want you to pump hours into them to get anything out of them.
My gaming time is limited. I live 90 mins away from my workplace, don't get home till 8pm, then work some more when I get home. My weekends are usually busy so to get time to play for even just 30 mins is difficult. 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 quick pick up and play action, which fits in much better with my available game time.
That makes sense and you're right, many of these modern games just require a lot, a lot of hours.

Thank you, Saturn! The guys who make those homebrews have me on their special list as a "thank you" for the support. I am among those who get first dibs.
Ive had a few pick ups recently, the GC games was from a local cash convertors and the MD/DC/GB stuff was from a Lincoln game shop called Gotham Games.

Nice mix of games there!
Don't know how retro the PS3 is but I got one in January and picked up some classics for it. Pretty cool machine. Too bad I ignored it for 10 years 8)
Great pickups! Yeah the PS3 isn't really retro but it does have some great games on it. I haven't seen a ROM comic in a long time! I had a couple issues of it as a kid and always liked the character
Thanks Shadowrunner! I'll keep future ps3 related posts in the other thread.
Yeah, I've never heard of ROM but thought it was cool so grabbed it for my comic book collection
Need to get harder into that like I was in 94.
PS3 is not retro yet but those are still cool. We do have a Latest Modern Purchases thread also for the newer stuff.
That lunch box is a great find ;D

I'm getting that message too lately. Especially when I link to pics off-site. Don't know if that part's a coincidence. I'm using Firefox.
Yeah I just got that too. Once I got the error I pressed back and the post had gone through though. I'm using Chrome.
Back button works every time for me as well.
Edit
This post didn't give the error. I'm assuming bc there was no external link.
Yup, FireFox user here also. I'll use the back button from now on when it pops up and yes, external links seem to create the error. No doubt it will get sorted at some point.
Think i have fixed it now guys...
Please test.

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.

Great selection of games. I love NES Tetris!
Very nice! Gauntlet II is excellent!
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.
I bought a new toy :)
Great score. What an amazing piece of hardware!
Dang, that sounds like quite the find! Looking forward to your thoughts!
Yes it does sound really good. Hopefully it works as well as it's supposed to!

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

Great scores, those are awesome!
Fun looking game
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
Glad it finally arrived. That is one cool looking device
Here are several items I've received over the past 10 days or so...

Very cool! Congrats on the grab!
Thanks! Hoping that completes the collection... yet again.
Cool! I need to get a copy of Total Carnage.
Nice, I haven't got those yet as they are so damn expensive. They retail for a lot less in the USA but postage almost doubles the price. Telegames over here in the UK stock them but charge a fortune also
Still, nice addition to your collection Saturn.
Hi all been a while but just got back to uk after a long time working away,anyhow just bought a core grafx 2 boxed with super star soldier and 3 other games along with complete copies of pac land and alien crush. And the icing on the cake mint shienryu Saturday and with spine on a really good price

Just bagged 6 clear Atari Jaguar cart shells from Albert over at AtariAge. I live so close to him it arrived the next day (http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/s603/SaturnRVG/Misc/Emoticons/biggrin_zpsq9s6ti2s.png)

Look forward to seeing what you come up with pal.
I might try to find some art for a label with
RVG on it. That would look awesome
Let me know if there's any kind of trademark infringement or anything before I just go implement the idea all willy-nilly then find out later it was a
crime!
Thanks (http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx267/Saturn025/tongue.gif)
Nope we are pretty open to you doing that pal.
Cool! Also looking forward to seeing what you do with them
Very nice, Saturn!
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:
It's cool that Al got those. We may see Xevious on the Jaguar on those clear shell carts.
I hope so, that would freakin rock! 8)
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.

Very nice additions! And loving that Dungeon Explorer
Thanks! Yes, I saw a video on it and wanted to get Dungeon Explorer! Looks like a nice clone of Gauntlet!
Castlevania Dacula X is a great game, plus the game Castlevania SOTN is unlockable on it which is an amazing game!
So I've read, which is why I decided to get it. I'm surprised I had not gotten it before.
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

Some very nice pick-ups there. Good to see the Artcade book in the flesh
It sure is! That was a surprise arrival. I knew they were being shipped but I had no idea when mine would arrive.
Greyfox got his, and will be doing a review of the Artcade book soon I believe.
Nice purchases..
Cool. The book does looks amazing. I got the PDF version too so I can look at it on my tablet as well.
Awesome scores. :D
Tried Zombie Revenge on my Nomad. It's fun and I enjoyed it more than some reviews would have let me to believe! Anyhow, this one arrived today after waiting for it for 3 years!

Great info about Zombie Revenge.
It took 3 years to track down a copy or was it on backorder? Anyway, very NICE
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.
Ah, understood. That must be a relief to finally have it in your possession 8)

Thanks Shadowrunner. I want badly to learn about these two systems and play the games so figured I'd take the plunge and get the full on (available) experience underway. By ordering both at the same time, it actually discounted the Amiga one by $9.99. Pretty good deal imho
It's ColecoVision time!

Awesome! I'm jealous! LOL
Very NICE! 8)
Thanks guys
Going to try all the games out this weekend.
Only one item this week but a good one...

Wow, excellent score. Love that cover art too 8)
Bought these Atari Jaguar cart end labels off Ebay (//http) a few days ago. They look to be excellent quality although I haven't had a chance to open them yet
(http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/s603/SaturnRVG/Misc/JL_zpsfsjoptr4.jpg)
I have a set of these that I had gotten when first released. I did run into one problem as they make come off the edges. I used a blow dryer to heat them up a little and that took care of the issue.
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.
Those look really good
Just a few N64 games I picked up recently. Ive got both Pal and Jap N64's, I've always been a little underwhelmed with the AV output but by putting them on a 14" CRT screen its kinda changed my opinion on them. Ive got a few more on the way...

Vigilante 8 is an awesome game!

Yes. Especially 2nd Offense, however it runs much better on the DC
Ive had a good week this week for retro bits. My grail bit of hardware finally arrived after 6 weeks too (Vectrex).
Its also the first time Ive owned a Jag, hence the questions about flash carts.

Nice pick ups. You'll love the Vectex and do check for the Sean Kelley Multicart on Ebay as he is selling them right now at a reasonable price.
Man the vectrex is the dream. Well done in getting one
Here is some stuff that arrived over the past couple of weeks...

Finally got home at 9PM and opened the box. Excellent release with a full color manual.
Incredible.

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 :)
Why so many boxes fella?

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

Looks great TrekMD!
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. :)
Cool, thanks for the heads up :D
Ah ok lol.
Might make it collectable in the future. 8)

Add in the addictiveness of Dr Mario and the SNES unit would be pushing 100° in no time :D

That's a good point, I'll have to look into that :)

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)

Very high quality release, all the way around :D
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. :)
That's a really nice looking Painter cart! Whoever made it for you did a great job. I have the CD and it is a great game :)
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.
I think those as new to me. As they all new homebrews?

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.

Love them Pac-Man drinks!
And they are, appropriately so, energy drinks! Think of them as canned power pellets! LOL
These arrived yesterday. The Nox/Death Race games are one box and a cart with both games. The release of these games pictured here mark a total of 100 games for the Vectrex! It's cool that that is marked by a release that includes not one, but two different overlays!

Especially digging the Sol Feace, Donkey Kong 2 and Halo but they're all awesome. I'm curious about the Star Fox Adventures. Never heard of that one.
Thanks! I saw Solar Fox Adventures at CGE and got it there. Goes to show how busy I've been that I didn't even post that then! In any case, I checked some reviews for it and it had good ones so I got it. I think it was only $20.
Great stuff! Starfox Adventures is good but it's different than the other games in the series. It's a third person action adventure instead of a shooter but I had a lot of fun with it :)
Figured it looked good enough from what I saw so I got it. :)
These arrived today. Been playing the gray cart and the game is so much different/better than where the public testing left off. Also have to say, the packaging, box, box art and extras are certainly worth the price imho. This is outstanding quality :)

Some great stuff there, I really do need to get some more Jag and Vectrex games.
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.

Great additions.
I've just purchased this beauty. I wont get it for a month as i've got an house extension in progress.
Ive never played the game before but it looks like one of my favorites Galaxian. Thing is do I styarty playing the game now in mame or wait until I collect it?
It will keep it original too, but maybe refurbish the legs.

£205 but I need to fetch it from Leeds (I own a van), Jamma Plus forums but it was also on Ukvac.
Nice one pal, I just noticed it on UKVaC, great pickup pal.
Depends on what you consider retro, I've recently started collecting for any system from nes to ps2.
Feel free to post anything you consider Retro mate..
Ordered the Soccer Kid/Frog Feast combo cart from Songbird 2 days ago and it just arrived 8)
That's cool. Soccer Kid is a fun game.
Cool! The clear cart looks nice.
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 :)
Pre-ordered Custodian for the Atari Jaguar back in November iirc and it just arrived. Can't wait to play!
Oh wow, I that's great. That means mine should be on its way.
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 :)
Looks great! Let us know what you think of it after you try it out :)
Will do :)
OK, had a few things arrive this past week. Here is the loot...

Tried playing this a few times but not sure what to do. I get killed fast but not much progress being made.
Searching for a key combo to simulate the T key on the ST that's supposed to give God Mode..
Great pickups Trek :)
Yep, a lot of Piko stuff. The SNES stuff I had ordered before the Holidays and they just shipped it. :) As always, superbly packaged.
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!
(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a559/CGs_pics/Mobile%20Uploads/20160905_143624_zpsdhmdqn8x.jpg)
Awesome stuff. Love that controller!
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 all looks awesome, Shadow! Enjoy!
Thank you :)
Got 4 Gameboy games but only keeping one which is micro machines.
A snes controller.
That's the only retro stuff this week, hope to pick some more up on Sunday
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
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?
Great score on the rotaries! I really need to get one.
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.
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.
Here are some arrivals for this week...

Another great haul Trek :)
Nothing exciting this week just a wii with a handful of games
That's cool, particularly now that the Wii is out of production. :)
^yea trying to collect retro consoles and due to my GameCube being broke I couldn't pass it up so I could play those games again lol.
I'll edit with pics of my collection (found in loft so fits this thread lol)

Nice! 8)
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
Cool, I have one that looks similar. Enjoy those!
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.
(http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag160/TrekMD/RVG%20Images/Atari%20XEGS_zpsqnxiiubg.jpg)
Nice score! VERY cool TrekMD 8)
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.
I'm assuming this one would cover it.
https://www.atarimax.com/flashcart/documentation/ (https://www.atarimax.com/flashcart/documentation/)
Let me know :)
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.
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.
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.
Good luck with it. Sounds like it'd be worth any amount of trouble :)
Thanks!
Very nice!
That is super cool mate. I want one.

Thank you, zap! Are they not easier to find in Europe?
Maybe this is not a true latest retro buy but I hope to rig this up this week with my Jaguar and see if there is any truth in the hype.
So, that upscales the output to 1080p?
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.
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.
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! :)
Ps1 today, missed out on a few megadrive games :/.
There was a lot of 48k games but I've never heard of it until I googled it lol.

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.
Cool, I just don't know what the best option is for when the last CRT tv dies.

Cool, I just don't know what the best option is for when the last CRT tv dies.
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.
My latest...
Not sure why they are sideways but you get the idea. Only bought this for T2K 😀
Oh yes, the awesome rotary!
Very nice!
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.
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. :)
Awesome additions mate.

Great looking controller! Really nice that it came boxed.
Yes, the box made all the difference as far as I was concerned. If someone is willing to make that extra effort, they deserve support. I just want a Kitty box now 😀😉
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 £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.
MVL.
That looks really cool 8)
That looks awesome and the price was certainly right!
Great piece of kit, you could say it is portable arcade controller, wow.
These arrived this week:

The Shark game with all the extras looks pretty cool :)
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.
Got a few retro pick ups, one being a Phillips cdi and a bunch of games, few megadrive games as well
Cool! The CDi is one of the few retro consoles I don't own that I wished I did. Enjoy :)
I never seen one before and picked it up at the car boot for £15 so couldn't say no. Only played micro machines so far but will et round to more when I have some more free time lol
Nice pickup pal.
I have Penny Racers and G.A.S.P!! Fighters' NEXTream waiting to arrive in the mail.

Oh, and it feels very nice in the hand. I'm writing a review for it for Vectorbolt magazine. :)
Very cool purchases. Must be newer NES games? Atari 8bit cart looks great.
The NES games are hombrews. Nicely packaged ones. :)
Yes. Nice packaging.
I was thinking of the original NES game which was Gremlins 2. Good to see a game about the first movie.
I think this one is a hack of that one so it follows the theme of the first movie. :)
Nice additions Eugenio.

Thanks, zap!
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.
MVL.
Awesome, look forward to the video :)
Cool! Hope you can keep it working :)
Very nice! I hope it keeps working!
Bum bag and memory cart 😃

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'll check on Ebay. Maybe more will pop up. :)

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.

Just got a load of old PC games at a car boot sale today for £15. When I got home it appeared that there were a few extra games inside one of the boxes as well.
MVL.
Very nice!
Boxed games are always nice to find :)
Great titles. Still enjoy playing Lords of the Realm II. So seeing Lords of Magic was nice.
Just got Mine Storm for the Vectrex, and... a Vectrex!
Wanted one of these for quite a while, a local seller had one. Isn't in the best shape, didn't get the best deal, but I'm still pretty happy.
MVL.
Cool! I've always wanted a Vectrex. Enjoy :)
That is awesome! The Vectrex is one cool system! You will have fun. Try to get a multicart so you can play all the games that were commercially released (and even some homebrews) that way.
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.
Those controllers are not cheap to replace, though they can be fixed.
Here are items that arrived over this past week...

Very nice! That 7800 Donkey Kong game is supposed to be really good.
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.
These arrived today from the Atari Age store...

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 😀🤞
Hmm, I should write a review of it. :)
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.

(I'm back after not being able to log in for a few weeks)
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!
MVL.
I didn't realize the games were packaged so differently in Europe. Why are the cases larger for the PS1 games?
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
You had an SNK weekend! Enjoy!
Cool! Have fun with the CDZ, Jay.
Got these at Florida Supercon last weekend...

(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.
MVL.
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?
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.
OK, so it's what I thought. Makes sense then.
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.

Added a few bits from the Retro Videogame Market in Doncaster at the weekend.

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.
The console looks in pretty condition. Congratulations! The CV does some have quite a few arcade ports that are nicely done.

I've seen and want that stick. I could imagine they were pretty expensive and pretty much exclusive use to the Colecovision and 7800.
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.
I have seen the Eladdin controllers and they do look fantastic. All I've heard about them is also very positive. I don't believe I would pay that much for a controller, though.
My two arrivals from today...

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:
(http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/s603/SaturnRVG/Collection/badcom_zpsriq1vkjt.jpg)
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!
(http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/s603/SaturnRVG/Collection/SB_zps7m5fetgj.jpg)

Good looking games. Have fun!

Amazing pick ups. Crime Killer and Super Mario Land really caught my attention. NICE!
Thank you! Yes, I immediately set my eyes on those two. :)
Got these on my way home from yesterday. Not the rarest of games but still all fantastic:)
Very nice! 8)

My RPG Friday bundle just arrived from Limited Run. Haven't unwrapped as I'm saving that for an unboxing video, but pretty cool to get my hands on Ys Origin and Asdivine Hearts!
MVL.
Very cool. I have to take pictures of my PRGE haul, which was rather large! Never mind some additional stuff I also got in the mail!
I can finally post some of the stuff from PRGE! I had some carts autographed and got some new games as well. I'm only posting some stuff here. The rest can be seen in here: TrekMD's Collection (http://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/index.php?topic=953.msg8635#msg8635).

Really nice to get them signed. :)
It sure is! Cool to meet these guys. I don't even own an Odyssey 2 but the game is too well known to miss the chance. I found that boxed game for $8 at the Expo.
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.
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.
I just added all of Impression Games' city-builders to my collection: Pharaoh, Zeus and Caesar. Nostalgia led me to buy them, and I still enjoy the hell out of them 20 years later.

Nice. That's the idea: When it comes to the best retro games, usually we find that whatever we liked about them 10 or 20 years ago still holds up today. By the way, welcome! If this is your first time here, why don't you leave us an Introduction (http://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/index.php?board=7.0)? Good to meet you, Katastrophic.

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. :)

Here is the latest stuff I got, including games I got at FreePlay Florida...

Some awesome additions fella.

Just got myself a Switch console, pro controller, and Xenoblade 2: Collector's Edition. The box for this game is so big it won't fit alongside my big box PC games!
(I also included the picture of my Gun.Smoke game, and Capcom Classics, which includes the arcade game, as I mentioned previously)
MVL.
Very nice. Enjoy!
Got this new homebrew...
(http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag160/TrekMD/RVG%20Images/Atari%202600%2072_zpsydtyvfsc.jpg)
Cool! Great looking label.
A couple of Colecovision pickups. £10 delivered from a forum. Ive never played Smurf's but I'm told its a great Pitfall clone.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DQ8xUtJX0AAYqet.jpg)
Smurf's is a lot of fun. Q bert on the other hand pisses me off like few other games do lol. I'm just really bad at it!
Both are fun games! I'm surprised you don't like Q*Bert, Shadow!

Ah, the famous Frogz 64. I didn’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 don’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?
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 I’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.
Here is my latest video game related purchase:
(http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag160/TrekMD/RVG%20Images/Books%20105_zpsq9iksvkm.jpg)
Cool. :)
Nice little books just like the one about the Atari 2600 sports games. :)
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 won’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 😀
Cool! Glad you were able to get it. :)
Nice one fella, hope you like it.
Cool! I played mine a bit over the holidays and there's some great games on it.
Thanks guys.
Yes, the mini is a great way to introduce people to the SNES. I’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 😉
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.
MVL.

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 friend’s MegaDrive, I never got to try out a SNES so this is a perfect introduction for me and let’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.
Cool, the Jeff Minter Collection is one I'd like to get. :)
Nice Shadowrunner 👍🏻
And that sounds like some great game Saturn, I have a few Jeff Minter cartridges which I hope to get down and dirty with over the coming weeks.
Meantime...

Thanks I haven’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 😀
Nice PSP pick ups. Where did you get Astrostorm from, Saturn?
Just arrived. Windjammers Collector's Edition for PS4 by Limited Run games.
MVL.
That looks pretty damn awesome 😉
My humble addition this week is a book:
That Flashback book is very nicely done! I have it as well.

That Flashback book is very nicely done! I have it as well.
Yes, I’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 🤔😉
An update to my Windjammers, I got rare the (1 in 5 chance) pink power disc!
MVL.
Cool! That's a nice collectible to have.
Here are some arrivals for the past couple of weeks or so...

The pixel player has a whole bunch of Data East games. Really cool little system. :) And for $4! That was even a surprise because it said $12.50 in the rack.

Cool stuff guys! So does the 32X version of Doom have more levels?
Nice stuff! So, those versions of Doom are adapted from other systems for the Jaguar, right?
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.
That's cool!
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. :)

THAT is amazing! Congrats on all the work and effort to end up with the unique item. Man, that's a
great feeling 8) 8) 8)
Thanks Saturn. You can see an image of the hack here: http://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1485.msg96926#msg96926
Awesome, I remember that. Glad you were able to go all out and make it into a one of a kind like that.
Great stuff..
Very cool Trek!
OK, I have a mixed of things for today. Some are purchases, Kickstarter games and some are from a Junk Box...

Nice lot. Twin Dragons caught my eye 8) 8)
Some great additions there!
I love dragons, so I couldn't say no to that Kickstarter. :)
What is the last photo of?
Not showing up for me.
Four 2600 games: Gopher, Plaque Attack, Cosmic Ark, and Broadside (a hack of Combat that takes place at sea).
That's awesome. You have an AMAZING collection so always enjoy checking out new additions 8)
Thank you, Saturn! Is the last pictures showing for you now?
No, I'm still getting the same place holder..
It should show up now. Somehow it got deleted from Photobucket. I just replaced it.
I can see it now :)
Cool!
Got these today in a charity shop. I know FIFA isn't worth much but it was my first PS2 game so I had to get. DMC is not exactly the best Devil may cry but had to complete my collection. The other speak for themselves. All in a charity shop for about £12 BARGIN!!!!
Sounds like you got a deal!
Great score 8)
Yeah looking forward to 4 players madness on micro machines
These arrived this week...

Found this nice pic of 16 Atari Jaguar ST Ports 8)
(http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/s603/SaturnRVG/Misc/16STPorts_zpstxdia5as.jpg)
That's a lot of Jaguar goodness right there!
Yes, in awe of them and can't wait to sit down and play 8)
That's plenty!

Wow thats a huge amount of ST Ports. There must be $500 worth. I cant make out all the titles but Bubble Bobble,
Cybernoid 2, Solomons Key, Joust, Rtype would all be sweet to play on the Jag.
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.
R-Type is HARD. 8) I have the rom from the thread for that one and infinite lives is a MUST.
Cybernoid (the 1st one) Barbarian and KLAX are also in there. Can't remember the others..
I have R-Type, Barbarian and a few others from the set.
Ha, I put my Kitty Box straight to work yesterday evening. The timing was impeccable 8)
Quote from: Saturn on April 12, 2018, 15:37:51 PM

Nice additions TrekMD! Haven't seen a Dick Tracy cart in a long time.
I think I've hacked that game bc of the difficulty but loads of fun.
Great Genesis adds 8) I quit collecting for PS2 but sweet pick ups there too.
I got those PS2 games as a great deal from Good Deal Games (they were clearing their inventory). Figured I couldn't pass on them. :)
Great Activision patch! lol

Great Activision patch! lol
Yep, like I said, it is very encouraging! LOL
I got this today and I could not wait to share it! I took advantage of an offer VistaPrint had and made myself one of these... I was trying to get it done embroidered but that particular image doesn't work for an embroidered logo. Maybe we need a slight redesign? ;)
(https://i.imgur.com/ZUZ3UBt.jpg)
Cool! That would perfect to wear when you go to gaming conventions. :)
Exactly! That's why I got it. Great way to promote the forum. :)
That's the most awesome shirt I've seen in years 8)
Glad you like it. :)
Man, you could make that the badge on a football top! ;D
Thats awesome, like my white one..
You are the man TrekMD.
I am sure I could tap GF up for something workable for a embroidered design.
Glad you like it. Having something that works to be embroidered would be much better, though. If that's doable, I will make more. :)
Got this yesterday...
(http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag160/TrekMD/RVG%20Images/Books%20111_zps3rtxdzqw.jpg)
Where did you get it from, and is it a collection of reviews of homebrews this century?
It's available from Amazon. It's the first volume so it covers a selection of titles from A-Z.
I bought TIF2002 on PS2 to fuel my football game interest. ^^
Reminds me of FIFA 99 a lot which was the only good FIFA IMO.

Winter Olympics for GameGear arrived today. Still hoping to get NHL, just not at the £20 price I've seen.
Cool. Enjoy!

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)
Very cool. I figured you'd had gotten those two games as well. Safe to assume you ordered 2.4 as well? ;)
Yes, and looking very forward to those. 1943 will be exceptional to have on cart!
Yes, I agree. Great game!

Ive picked a few things up recently.
The GB Boy is just a GB Colour clone with a backlight. For £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.

(http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag160/TrekMD/RVG%20Images/NES%20Classic%20Edition_zpsiadpgv9q.jpg)
Great stuff, especially that mini 8)
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.
(http://www.davykelly.com/saturns.jpg)
Nice collection of Saturns!
Very nice! That's one console I've been tempted to get.
Those are amazing!

Very nice pickups. Digging the Jag Zombies 8)
Just got the Bitmap book plus postcards.
(https://i.imgur.com/R8unrjp.jpg)
Very nice!
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)
(http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/s603/SaturnRVG/Misc/20180919_1918361_zpsplvly4zf.jpg)
Glad you like the games! He really makes a good effort packing these and releasing them in carts. The games could use some polish but they are fun regardless.
Got these this week...

Nice teaser. All those autographed pieces are sweeet! :D
Nope. Just had not been able to take pictures as I had my parents visiting for 3 weeks. Between their being here, work, and some work being done at the house, I just did not have enough time to take the pics.
Got these in today. Going to be a long weekend ;D

GREAT stuff! That Limited Edition arcade stick looks amazing. It's for the Jaguar?
Thank you. That's actually for the 5200! Shawn over on AA made three or four and I managed to get the first one he made. :)
Wow, congrats! Very nice piece.
Looking at the button layout I thought for sure it was Jag related. Nice, getting the very first one. Man...
Thank you. Should make playing games like Pac-Man on the 5200 much better! :)
Yeah that limited edition arcade stick looks really nice. So you can put whichever board you want into it?
I suppose it could be opened and have the board changed.
Here are my arrivals for the week...

Love those controllers! Excellent stuff 8) 8) 8)
Thank you. I learned about the PS joystick while at FPF but missed buying it there (someone beat me to it). I was able to find one boxed from Ebay at the same price they had it at FPF.
Trek you need to get your review mojo back son, few new bits there we could do with reviews for.
Mojo is not the problem. Time is!
Just going to show off some games I get an early Christmas present. Wife got them for me but with only a thirty day return policy we had to make sure they all worked. Three megadrive games came without a box but they where cheap and all work :)
Cool. What matters is that you can play the games. :)
Sorry about the bad photo first time round. There is now a clear photo with the original post. yeah I'm looking forward to the endless frustration of how difficult battletoads is :)
LOL That it is!
Great gifts. Your wife's a keeper!
Picking up a original xbox and morrowind goty addition on friday just to play morrowind again.
Nice, show some pics when you do pick it up :)

Will do. Cant wait to play this again, gunna play it on my 32 inch sony trinatron old school!
Great pickups, I certainly learn a lot here.
I also like the attitude of the members here, which makes it fun.
Finally I picked up Vector Patrol for the mighty Vectrex... and a fine game it is at that!
That looks awesome! 8)
Ah, that is an excellent game for the Vectrex!
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.
Well, that's unfortunate. I guess the seller didn't know it was not a true 6-button controller.
A few more items that have arrived for the past week...

Yes. It finally arrived. I had a box I did not know where it was from and when I opened it, there was the Tanglewood box! :)
Trek MD. is Tanglewood good enough to pay for physical copy?
I literally got it yesterday and I've yet to play it. Haven't had a chance yet. I plan to test it this weekend.

Wow, Christmas came early!
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.

The other pic wouldn't upload to PB so attaching it.
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 :) )
This arrived today...

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)
Cool. As long as you're having fun, then keep going. :)

Great stuff TrekMD!
I finished receiving all 18 RePro Atari Jaguar controllers. Now to work on a couple more Opal rotaries 8)
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.
Here are my arrivals for this past week...

Cool! I got those two games too but I've not been able to take pics of them and the other stuff I got. Soon! :)
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.
(https://i.imgur.com/h94MYXO.jpg)
I didn't know that chairs were made with gaming in mind. I suppose it makes sense.
They're really popular with streamers. Nice looking chair.
OK, here we go. These have arrived over the past two weeks...
(https://oi1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag160/TrekMD/RVG%20Images/Atari%202600%2093_zpsbe61aiys.jpg)
Only Crazy Kong is new. I already had Tapper but wanted to have two carts in the pic.

Amazing stuff! As always.. :D
Thank you. I got the 2600 Adapter from a seller in Venezuela! It's brand new!
You don’t stop lol.

This arrived today.
Couldn't really find hyperstone heist for a good price but I can unlock TMNT turtles in time on this so happy with my purchase.
Cool. I've never played that one.
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.
These have arrived over the past week or so...
(https://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag160/TrekMD/RVG%20Images/Atari%202600%2094_zpszsi58dkd.jpg)

I don't remember a Rally Racer on the 2600, must have been one of the late 80s releases. Will need to check it out.
It's a homebrew release from Brazil.
I did a little shopping this weekend. ;D

I've always wanted a Saturn so I'm very excited! Can't wait for it to arrive. :)
I'm salivating over here...
LOL Sega Saturn is the only retro console I didn't own that I still really wanted so when I saw this bundle for a pretty good price I couldn't resist.
I have been tempted so many times to get one. That bundle looks fantastic! Did I say I'm salivating? LOL
Got these today, not incredibly old games but I still think they are retro :)
Cool. The Avengers game has a nice cover.
Thanks trek, we shall see how it plays, it has been reviewed as one of the few connect games that actually work.
Nice purchases mate, cheap at least.
Here are a few things that have arrived or I've purchased over the past few weeks...
I got these while on vacation in Puerto Rico. They were on sale for $6!!! I couldn't resist.

Nice looking controller. I see the people who make this also make a dual d-pad 7800 controller for playing Robotron.
Hey guys,
Got a small piece of history here. As far as I can tell Big Hero 6 is the last official DS to come out in Europe. As I can't find any info about the Disney 2 pack (which includes this game) coming out in Europe.
Some additional items...

You never disappoint lol. That controller looks pretty cool.
I saw that controller last year in a video by John Hancock and I wanted it. It did not come out until recently.
I had not been able to post my arrivals due to issues with Photobucket that are finally resolved. So, here's what's arrived over the past month!

I like that last one. ;D
LOL I wonder why that is?
Waiting for the mega sg to come in the mail from ebay. with the jail break and the flash cart, i will have most of the genesis and master system games!!
What are the Atari pro paddles like? I'd love to get paddles that solved the jitter problem
They are very smooth. No jitter to worry about!

OK you've tempted me- how much do they cost?
They cost ~$35. You can check them out here: https://is.gd/uGIMLu

Interesting🙂
Got a couple new ColecoVision games. :)

Very cool!
I like the look of those paddles.
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!

What's with the X all the time 😂
I guess that is the signature of the guy who makes these homebrews. All games end in X!
I finally assembled these boxes. I have all the games but they did not have standard boxes. They came in CD cases or flimsy plastic cases.

These finally came in! Not games but a documentary I supported on Kickstarter about the artwork on the boxes of games.

Nice. Sounds like an interesting, untapped topic :)
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.
These are my latest arrivals...

Cool! Those Neo Geo controllers are really nice. I have Mr. Heli for the PC Engine, it's a fun game.
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. :)
Here are my latest arrivals. I had been after one of these Space Age controllers for a while!

Not retro, but plays retro, just bought the super nt from anolouge. Then went to stoneage gamer and bought a sd2snes/ fxpak !! should mention got it on ebay as anolouge is sold out.
Cool, that's supposed to be a really good system.
Here's the TurboGrafx 16 Mini. :)

It's a repro because getting an original will cost me an arm or a leg. LOL

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. :)
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.
They do indeed and they were brand new.
These are my latest arrivals. Some are from the Atari I/O Junk Box...

Awesome choices. I guess those will keep you busy during christmas. Do you consider modding that game&watch?
Thank you. That is the modern Game & Watch Super Mario handheld that Nintendo just released. It's really cool.
Got this stuff this past week.
(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/ag160/TrekMD/Vectrex_(72).JPG)

(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/ag160/TrekMD/Activision_Patches_(13).JPG)
Cool stuff. Is that first one a Lynx game?
Chimney Hunt? That's a Vectrex game. :)
That's a neat design. :)
Yes it is. Very unique. I hope someone makes a VHS case insert for the game.
Really nice and the patch looks amazing.
I just received another patch that I helped design. I'll be posting pictures later.
That is great and I am excited to see it.
Here is the patch...
(https://i.imgur.com/9w8SS38.jpg)
Awesome!!
I just designed two other patches for Activision games that had no patches. We'll see if they are approved.
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)

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
Very nice stuff there,
@Vadergb
Agree. Your N64 really looks sharp.

Just bought another Jaguar GD through AtariAge!
Only 5 to go :p
Cool. Nice buy.
OK, I had not posted this. It arrived Christmas Eve...

Thank you, TrekMD. Seeing a new Atari VCS gives me hope that 2021 will be a better year.
You know, I am surprised at how heavy this new VCS is. I have to set it up.
Just arrived. Excited to try it out.
Very nice! Tell us how you like it!
Cool, have fun!

That's pretty cool, never seen a PS1 track ball before. Are there many games for the system that have mouse support?
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!
(https://i.imgur.com/NEGzTKY.jpg)
And here are two multi carts for the SNES that I got. 280 games between the two carts...
(https://i.imgur.com/4rMGQb7.jpg)
Very nice! The patches turned out great.
Nice work mate.
What did it cost?
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.

I actually have an extra Xenocider. It's the special edition with the soundtrack. Let me know if you want it.
Very nice haul :)
Wow, those covers all just look so fantastic.
Very nice.

It's actually a scarf!
Oh, well that's a nice scarf then lol.
Living in Florida I wouldn't think you would have much use for a scarf! ;D

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.
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.
That looks like a very nice haul.
Thank you!
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.
Oh, that is cool! Looks nice!
Very nice! Looks like fun. :)
Glad the games landed Eugenio.

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.
Cool! Good that you liked your purchase!
