Interesting...
You don't own a Nes.
Megaman 2?!
Nope. It's Tony Hawks pro skater for the....N-Gage :P Was a freebie on adverts and was always curious to know what the games and boxes looked like. I'll pick up an N-Gage at some stage. And the person was also nice enough to throw in some Pokémon cards she found!

Okay not games, but they are retro..and there are some Megadrive games in the photos
Here we have my newly aquired Akai 4000D reel to reel and a lovely Pioneer SX-550 receiver/amp that looks like it just came off the factory production line. The thing is actually close to 40 years old.
The sound out of the two of these is absolutely amazing. Just sticking with two speakers at the moment as it's so powerful. Would love to get four going though. Probably not the best idea in an apartment block!
And don't get me started on the action on the dials. The pure quality makes me weep with joy. It's like a finely tuned videogame joystick.

I hate that feeling.
You get a game you used to have and thought was the best game ever, you get it again and play it and realise its shoite.0 -

Jesus!
Something similar happened to me and a friend a few years ago when airsoft was first legalized here...we went out to check up on someones airsoft stock who was planning on opening a site.
Same deal, some busy body thought they should ring the Gardaí. Several squad cars arrived, some of which contained armed detectives. They wen't through all the stuff...looking absolutely shocked.
'OMG, boy, wouldyalook at dis, it has a scope n all' (thick culchie accent)
/queue shocked 'oohs' and 'ahhhhs'
They then informed us that we could have been shot.
One female garda actually looked down the barrel of an AK 47. Just shows you the kind of mentality we were dealing with.
We were hauled down to the station. Took them ages to figure out that we hadn't actually done anything wrong as they were recently legalized.
No apology either. They just came in and shouted that we get out of the station.
Still gets me angry whenever I think about it. Although it still isn't as rediculous as blue guns 0 -

I think the nes zapper was just censored when it left Japan like most light guns. In the states any replica has to have an orange tip. There's no law like that here, but you know games companies and Europe. Always want to play it safe.
I don't mind it when they're multi coloured, but the grey of the Gcon is just too bland. That black Japanese one I bought a little while ago feels much more bad ass 0 -

Yeah, I think in this instance they're really going to have to come off. I'll put up some more pics and see what people think.atavan-halen wrote: »Flying over to England tonight so with any luck I'll be getting some nice things over the next few days
Have fun! Games X change in Camden had a few old consoles in it the last time I was there. Although some of them were pretty expensive. There was a Neo Geo AES for about 100 pounds.0 -

Yeah I know..makes me sad Just had to have the PAL version though. The completist in me saw it as a gaping hole in my collection.
I'll pick up Bare Knuckle 3 some time in the future.0 -

If you're in London, Game Focus on Goodge St. (off Tottenham court Rd/near Oxford St.) would be worth a look0 -
@Oisin, Your lucky to get Streets of Rage 3, I am picking up Streets of Rage 2 this week from an ex of mine. The only good reason to get in contact with her is to get the game then I'm gone like a bat out of hell

Hah! That is hilarious. If I were you I'd cut my losses and just get it on ebay. It's not that expensive
When it comes to Streets of Rage 3 you really need to shop around. I've been trying to pick it up for years but it has always been too expensive. And it just got more and more expensive. Got luck with that one.0 -

Aye SR2 on ebay is competitive enough.
I seen a few SR3 on ebay, prices are not too bad. I would pay up to 50 euro for a mint complete copy but nothing more then that..
I got an original phat PS2 today in pretty good condition. Always wanted a PS2 just never could afford one when I was younger :cool:
Came with 9 games aswell...
