Yeah I would do that, how do I sign up?

Yeah I will help if I can, what systems would I need?

Recently been playing cannon fodder on the cd32, and wow does that bring back memories, my dad is not a gamer but I remember him playing this on the amiga 600 and me and my brother just sitting watching in awe lol

20 years old that's crazy, I remember looking at the panasonic gamecube console in dixons window back in the day, wish I had bought a couple now lol.

I don't mind the god of War games, fairly linear button masher, really enjoyed and finished both of them on the psp, I wouldn't mind the vita god of War collection but it's a bit pricey.

I've recently been thinking about buying some of the more sought after 360 games before the prices start getting silly, and have been looking at shooters like dodonpachi. What other good shooters are they on the system that are not to expensive.

The wii is a great system, i remeber winning one not long after launch in a competion from orange lol. But it does have a lot of rubbish on it thats why i tried to keep my collection fairly small and to what i think is a decent game to play.. here is a few pics of my collection.

Finally got the amiga cd32 put back together after it's recap, putting the cdrom ribbon cable back in was a right hassle but got there in the end, and now works like a dream and hopefully for many more years to come.

Nice collection some nice games in your collection, how long has it taken you to get all them? I wouldn't mind adding more to my collection but the prices r silly at the minute.

This is my current gamecube collection, prices these days have went crazy for gamecube games, I was lucky enough to get these for pennies years ago from second hand shops and carboot sales. My favourite has to be fzero gx great game and amazing speed.

Dug the amigas out and took a picture, working on getting them all recapped so far only the cd32 is done, but once the all done will be buying a gotek, also a found this expansion in the 500, anyone know what it is?

Finally got the amiga cd32 board back after sending it off to get recapped, took over a month. I noticed when taking the board out the metal shielding had some rust on so that's been treated now so all I need to do is spray it and should be done.

Here's the board now it's been recapped

So how does everyone go about finding retro games and what was some of your best finds? For me it was mostly charity shops (thrift shops) and local carboot sales and flea markets but in the last few years the flea market has dried up nothing seems to be making its way onto the stalls but back in the day (2010ish) I used to walk down at 5.30am to get the bargains picked up some amazing things, like ps1 games like klonoa for £1, amiga cd32 for £15, boxed Philips cdi console for £10 (they thought it was a CD player lol) and countless other stuff was great times lol.

But I have also made flyers a while ago and even posted them through doors and that's where I got my best stuff got a text one guy and he said was I interested in a few bits he had as he was going to bin it as he had no room for it. Was alsorts dreamcast games, nes games, masters systems and gamecube stuff  all for £100  I bit his hand off lol,and I think that was my best find and kept most of it... I'll see if I can find a picture of the haul later.

Played wings of wot, its call Gynoug over here decent shooter, never heard of the rest lol.

Did anyone else ever use one of these, I have some good memories using it with mates, to play doom and red alert 2, it blew my mind back in the day how it worked but it was so much fun. Wasn't cheap as u needed 2 copies of the game and two ps1' but was so worth. I'm actually thinking of setting it up again for a blast from the past, anyone play any other games with it.
