    That's some haul of gear Andrew76! I especially love the first Aliens flyer. Feels like the Xenomorph is going to crawl out and bite my face off.

    1. Muchi Muchi Pork & Pink Sweets 'Limited Edition' [XBOX 360, NTSC-J, Brand New & Sealed]

    2. Shooting Gameside Vol. 4 [Book, Brand New]
    NOTES: Regular dose of STG goodness. No mention of the interview though, GRR! :p

    3. Ibara: The Lunatic 'Insanity DVD Limited Edition' [DVD, NTSC-J, Brand New & Sealed]
    NOTES: Limited because it comes with the 92 page strategy guide/art book. A thing of beauty. Standard edition is just the 2 disc set.

    7. Saturn/PS2/N64 to USB Adapter [Brand New & Sealed]
    NOTES: After one of these for ages. This particular Mayflash model must be in print again as it was out of stock everywhere for ages. Want this for using my Virtua Stick Pro on my laptop for Steam and doujin titles.

    OK just picked up this, I feel dirty for saying this but I'll be sending a good bit of the final fantasy stuff on its way after I take what I want from it.

    Now that's how you take a spill of the wagon!

    No fair! You got Catherine already! I have the Stray Sheep edition paid for and it has been delayed for some reason.

    Lovely haul though Jacqueline. Good work!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,790 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    Yeah no boxers in this version though :(

    Wont get a chance to play it tonight, so Sunday I'll give it a bash. Cant wait to get into it, seems like my kind of game....its a game where you sell blood and semen for games right?

    didn't see any, it was €19.99 last week but I hadn't a penny on me, I was going to buy it for that price today and was overjoyed when I saw it. Coup of the year so far:)

    People must have thought I was a wierdo skipping up to the counter with a big smile on my face basically cuddling a game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,790 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    OK so I called round to the chap I bought all the final fantasy stuff off. He said I could come in and see what he had and work out a deal. Really nice fella aswell who moved into a new house. So I picked up this stuff from him, had a load of Neon Genesis stuff but I'm not really into it.

    Anyway

    DSCN2455.jpg

    DSCN2456.jpg

    So happy to get that Monster Squad dvd! I love that film!

    But yeah, fairly happy with this haul. Everything cost me 150, which is pretty good for some of the stuff thats there. Sword of Vermilion and FS III are the only ones without manuals

    Since I already have Alien Soldier I dunno what to do with this one now, I'm sorry but I think I'll take a trip to the bay with it :o

    Er, dude, your post should have half a billion exclamation marks. Some great (and valuable stuff) in there!

    That guy really did like his RPGs.

    Alien Soldier looks to be in great condition, is it CIB?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,790 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    There was a good bit more stuff that I didnt take. Lots PS2 and stuff thats already on adverts. Whoever he was really was pretty hardcore into RPGs

    Yeah that Alien Soldier is mint CIB


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 894 ✭✭✭Dale Parish


    Just bought a Mac Classic; Seems like it'll need some repair but I'll be able to inspect further when I get hold of it.

    Have you had a chance to test this chap out yet? When you do can you let me know if the Namco PS1 stick works with it? Guessing it should but just to be sure. Thanks. :)

    Market was a bit sh1te this morning.
    Nothing but knackered Xboxes and some PS2 games that were as common as Katie Price.
    I did, surprisingly, get a CIB Super Tennis for Snes and Forbidden Siren for the PS2.
    I was looking for,m TV but to no avail.

    Not yet, I was away from the gaf until today. I'll unpack it and give it a test run tonight. Make a video of it using the Namco PS1 and Virtua Stick Pro sticks for ye. :)

    No probs. I've just finished editing the video. I split it in to three segments.

    1. An intro and product overview.
    2. PS1 Namco stick demo.
    3. Sega Saturn stick demo.

    It's just rendering now so should be online later tonight. In answer to your question though, yes the Namco stick works flawlessly. The build quality of the product is also of a very high standard... which is odd considering.

    I've no hesitation in recommending buying one. Very impressive product.

    I think my one had that problem as well at some stage. I cant remember the fix but it was something simple.

    I have all the original manuals and disks if you ever need them.

    Yep I use Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Editon. Works Absolutey flawlessly. Seems the buttons are mapped out absolutely perfectly too. All one after the other, no jumbled mappings. I'm quite impressed with it compared to the two PS1 to USB adapters I have. They are significantly cheaper, but you need to use a key mapper, like Joy2Key and it's ilk, for every controller, which is cumbersome to say the least.

    The shop I got mine from is well-known, they've been around for years so you shouldn't run in to problems. I think it took about a week, or just over, for it to arrive. They sell them on eBay too, but last time I looked the price was the same. I haven't found them on sale anywhere else (in stock at least as they carry the old model).

    Well worth a purchase if you don't like the EX2 stick and want to use something else. Shame they don't make a PC Engine to USB adapter though... :(


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,498 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    Nice one, same OS as myself. Got an email this morning saying it shipped. Btw, I think Xpadder was the word you were looking for in the video. :)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Hoprefully my Wonderswan Puzzle Bobble, complete with Italian pubes, should on its way...
    I should get it this week I'd say, post within Europe is pretty good, I hope...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,426 ✭✭✭Roar


    Got a few bits from Infideals in the post this morning

    photolsy.jpg&action=rotate

    Looking forward to a run off Micro Machines to see if it's as playable and fun as I remember, Bart vs the Space Mutants is a stinker though. And I got Mega Games solely for Columns, which I was addicted to on Gamegear.

    Also picked up this purely for nostlagia, reading it this morning and I'm 9 years old all over again, reading it while I wait for my game to load. Bliss.

    Sometimes when I visit Limerick I end up getting something other than mugged. Got a combination of late birthday presents and early valentines day presents from the lovely Sera. She got me some wonderswan games, namely, Buffers Evolution, Turntablist DJ Wars and some truck driving game I don't know the name of :) Also picked up Apollo Justice on the DS in Game Limerick. Only need And Justice for All to get. Also got myself an unboxed Klonoa for the wonderswan when it finally appeared on ebay for a decent price.

    So all you've to do now is make it back through Limerick without getting pilfered. Survive a two hour train ride with other people, & then smuggle the goods past Sauron.

    It's gonna be like a real life Cho-Aniki level :D

    Well I doubt most Limerick people know what a wonderswan is since Call of Stabbie isn't on it, the M7 express bus is cheap and almost as fast as the overpriced train and Sauron is off in Spain on holiday so everything has come up retr0!

    Also forgot to add the best thing that Sera got me. She made me a cute custom made box filled with cooling pads for my head just like Arino uses in Game Centre CX on particularly tough games. I think she knows how much trouble Castlevania on the NES is giving me!

    Everyone knows side scrollers are no fun unless playing with friends.

    Therefore Ciderman had no friends in the arcade and he stood there with big tears in his eyes looking for someone, anyone to play SoR with him... anyone that was old enough not to make him look like he was a creepy old guy playing with children.

    Batman Returns though was great because it was one player. Let the kids have their fun on Simpsons arcade and X-Men.

    It's no arcade for old men.


    ............Speaking of the Simpsons Arcade.


    It was released for X-Box 360 Arcade on Wednesday.





    It scored 3.0 on gamespot...

    Still muck you mean!
    I had some fun with the old, 4 player, X-Men cab, back when it was new, not too much fun, but some!
    Fingers crossed Darius II will be on the doorstep tomorrow, bringing my Nomad to work just in case, must charge that bad boy this evening!
    Also Raiden III has been shipped, along with a 64mb PS2 mem card, those 8mb ones are just not good enough, especially when you have a 250+ game collection for the machine, no where to put all your saves!

    Blasphemous? I call it downright treachery! To the gallows with you knave! :eek:

    Actually, Darius II on the Mega Drive is a really good conversion, certainly it was the best home edition that is until the Saturn edition was released. The Saturn edition is pretty much arcade perfect, even coming with different screen modes to try and compensate for the fact nobody likely has an 870,000 inch television to play it on.

    Darius II on the Mega Drive also has one of my favourite cover art designs ever. Ahh that legendary Hawk! :)

    I'm buying an awful lot lately, 15 here, 25 there, have a feeling these numbers are all going to add up to something I'm not going to like....
    Chibi Robo for the GC will be winging it's way to me soon though, 25 euro as well...
