@johnny_ultimate What's that Gundam DS game?

It's a pretty much unplayable copy of Bangai-O Spirits. A lesson in how not every Treasure game is playable in Japanese

Is that the one with the worlds most confusing menu system, so confucing that even in Engrish it'd be unusable?

Indeed.

I was loving the tutorial, and then the weapon selection menu popped up.

"Bollocks" was the only word.

Nice to have though.

Ah, have no money for more games, all cash paying for loans, mortgage, food, petrol!
Going into game shops now a painful window shopping exercise!
Ebay now off limits completely too.
And even reading Edge has lost its lustre, like reading Top Gear Magazine when you own a Scenic, like me!
What am I to do?
Use the downturn as an opportunity to play through the games in my collection?
Mourn over the current gen titles I can't afford?
Pretend I have bought them and read Gamefaqs as a bluffers guide, while secretly weeping at my lack of Portal 2?

Start digging through the collection and get started on those games you never got around to. You could even post them to yourself and pretend they're new eBay purchases :P

you could start renting games in xtra-vision again, a retro act in itself

Ah here if you're going to go that retro, why not go the whole 9 yards and get in to 'Play By Mail' gaming?

http://www.gamesystems.com

As Mark Schweitzer from Frederick, MD says on that site:

"I can't wait until my next turn arrives!"

...and you'll be adding to job security at An Post just by playing, winnage all round!

CiDeRmAn

Play by mail, remember the old speccy mags, one in particular that specialised in programs for you to type in yourself, had ads for strategy games that you played by mail, oh dear...

No, I think I'll finish the catalogue of 360 games, assuming it comes back fixed, and even if it doesn't I have a massive collection of great games on the PS2, Xbox, Snes, Nes, CDi, oh wait, that didn't have any great games, did it?

The pitfalls of real life my friend!

My collection is a bit tidier now. Might take some pictures when I get my hands on a camera and the parents are out of the house and don't think I'm crazy.

Once my girlfriend came home while I had 150+ Megadrive games on the floor in a row, about to take photos.

You know that look someone gives you when they genuinely think you've lost the plot?

Yeah, I think the good woman gave me that look about 0.00000001 microseconds after I proposed to her.

Optimus Prime

Mine bought me Astrowars for christmas and that boxed SNES for my Birthday, I bought that Zelda for the snes a few weeks back and she gave out to me for getting it, she was going to get it for me from the kids for fathers day!!

Don't worry, I get that all the time!
Along with threats to slag the lot in a fire, the next time I tumble dry her woolen clothes or something..

Standard fare around my house, once she gaveme the "look" after I went crazy because a box was ever so slightly damaged

Relikk

This is just what I have set up, at the moment. I have various other bits that I don't quite have the room to display just yet (2 fat PS2's, one with a HDD attached. Fat PS1. Atari 2600. etc.)

Most games are all packed away awaiting some shelving above where this set up is so, they won't be coming out for a little while.

Atavan-Halen

Very tidy indeed! N64 looks well on top of a 3DO. Might be able to fool some into thinking it's a 64DD

Warren3

i will send a photo soon. My girlfriend calls this console porn.........

She says 30 consoles is outrages!!

Warren3

i own 36!!!!!!!

DaleHyland

All my games are here. Apart from a few minor pc games. The grey case holds all my ps1 games.

Thanks to Steve for the idea and thanks to EN for displaying that idea.

That an Akai sampler under your TV? Nice bit of kit. Great pics, especially the boxed NTSC-J Virtual Boy.

Yeah s3000, just got rid of my S950 to a friend who would actually re-use it, the guilt was killing me using it as a TV stand, he is in for a world of pain

safetyboy

Not feeling good about my hoarding

Pyongyang

Vertical Force! :eek: Nice work! What's the VB game of the boy next to the trees? Looks like a hoot.

safetyboy

T&E Virtual Golf

Pyongyang

Is it any good? I'd love to get a VB just for Vertical Force and that Gundam game.

edit: and the boy and the trees game.

safetyboy

Only game opened is Vertical force, played all the rest in Japan, pretty crap, and they do give you a headache, few Solpideine is needed

Sounds like the 3DS part II. With each passing day I think the 3DS is looking more and more like a flop.

I recently got to try one out properly (last time was in HMV on Grafton Street at launch) and after spending a good deal of time fiddling with it, I still didn't like it.

It just doesn't seem like enough of an update and the 3D effect isn't that impressive, in fact I found it bordering between good to downright irritating. I think Nintendo needs to cut it's DS apron strings and release a bold, all-new handheld design and soon. The Vita might just steal Nintendo's thunder if the 3DS ends up a failure.

I'd settle for some games for it, the 3DS is starting to feel like the handheld that time forgot.
