Some great games in there: Exhumed, Oddworld, G-Police.

I don't even see Front Mission 3! Whoever he bought that lot from had a really good taste in games. Not your usual run of the mill collection.

I bought a couple of oscillators earlier for my Megadrive overclock mod. 32X is also getting modded. So I'm going to have a Non TMSS HD Megadrive 1 with a region mod switch, a 60/50hz switch, a pause switch and a 12.5mhz overclock switch..then a region switch on the 32X. This is going to rock! :pac:

These arrived safe and sound today.All,except one, were complete and only about 4 had slightly damaged cases.The seller even threw in 5 memory cards,an action replay thingy,2 demo disc's and road rash 3d(no case) for free.I haven't had a bargain like this on ebay for a little while so it was a nice buy for €48.Result:D

Give us a shout when you've completed all of them cause I'd like to play some

Feck, that's a lot on shipping. From the UK I take it? The three games I bought from the Uk yesterday cost me zero postage. Mad the difference between sellers.

Yeah to some people in England, Scotland, Wales Ireland is this far away place akin to France or Germany or Greece! To others they're like "ah yeah sure it's only Ireland like"

You should wire it all up to one big red button so that the modded mutant will come alive at one press

Weird that he's auctioning off Silent Hill 1 &2 seperately.

As above.
Not much point in going down is there? Was there ANYTHING else?

Acht, none of those really interest me anyway. I've two PSXs as is.

My carboot sale trawling friend just picked me up an N64 today with three games. He rang me at 10am while I was asleep, so I don't quite remember what the games were. I think one of them was Ocarina of Time. Going to have to guess what the other two were. I would imagine at least one copy of Goldeneye was in there.

/Edit - hah! he also got another 5 n64 games for a fiver. Some of them were boxed too

Tallon

Bought a few joypads in fairyhouse today, i'll give them a clean and post them later

One is the illusive PS1 anologe for €1

I still need an N64, dam you Ois

Well the main reason for buying it was for it to be redistributed here as I already have one. Supposedly it needs a bit of a clean. Will stick up some photos when I get my hands on it/test it out.

Nice find with the ps1 analog pad. I've never seen one of them in the wild. Enjoy the comfort! You'll see what I've been banging on about with regards to the length of the handles.

I already have one, I got it when I originally got my PS1 back in the day, was just nice to get a second one

Giz a shout if your letting that N64 go

A couple of bits, some gameboys (advance + Colour) and an N64 that was out of my price range. Also your usual pick & mix of PS1 sports games.

Wow nice! Please tell me it wasn't at the Dundrum one! :pac:

o1s1n

I'm not sure where it was. I seriously doubt it was the Dundrum one though. You'd have sensed an n64 about a mile away :P

He said there was a second n64 there too but didn't buy it. See what I mean about those consoles? They're feckin everywhere! They must just last a lot longer than ps1s as they're cartridge based. So less were thrown out due to breakage.

Retr0gamer

I'd really love to get an NTSC N64 and re buy my entire collection. the PAL N64 suffer really badly from PAL slowdown and borders. Also RGB mod for the win.

Brian CivilEng

Picked up a SNES with one controller, Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat 2 and Starwing on eBay. Already have Starwing so that can be traded. I also already have a SNES, so this one is for modding. Going to Google some SNES mods later on, any recommendations?

Warren3

Got a few more dreamcast games at the weekend

Sonic Adventure 1 and 2
Ready to Rumble Boxing

batari

Couple more PAL 2600 games, all the way from Taiwan/Australia (but won on eBay in Ireland )

c - 13

Whee, finally have my spare bedroom ready to be converted into a collection area so I can finally start out. Already laid hands on -

Dreamcast
Neo Geo Pocket
Amiga 600
N64
Gamecube
Xbox 1
about 60 assorted games and an unknown amount for extra controllers and accessories for the above

Warren3

Got Ninja Gaiden and Rainbow Island for the master system both CIB for £1 each.

weeder

an adverts barn find!

http://www.adverts.ie/showproduct.php?product=221895&cat=12



some of it is working grand and some of it is easily fixed!

Jack burton

Any of those megadrive got "high definition graphics" written on them?

weeder

fraid not

Jack burton

and how easy would it be to fix one of those dreamcasts?

weeder

i could make one working from the 2 but i need to get an av cable first, i think the snes is a goner though, garbled image and it looks(and smells) like someone attacked it with wd40 to try fixing it

Jack burton

Ah yuck! I saw those on adverts, not bad though considering a few working consoles came out of the bundle

weeder

yup. the nes is perfect but it needs a 72pin, no yellowing or anything

snes casing is perfect,no yellowing

2 of the megadrives are meant to work with loose AC and the other is black screening

and the dreamcasts are mint externally and i should get at least 1 working.

Jack burton

Well any spare cases you have let me know, I have a painting few projects I'd like give a try

weeder

one of these dreamcasts has had the oil ****ed at it too only this one strangely smells of petrol

Jack burton

Yeah I would actully like to see carlowed colection, they always seen to have a ton of stuff on adverts for sale

polyfusion

Nice haul weeder. I love "faulty" DCs - bought/aquired about 10 over the years, just one was really faulty (bad power supply); all the others had either dusty lid switches (possibly the non-reader) or dirty motherboard->power supply pins (possibly the black-screener).

Josey Wales

I got a few new items in the last week or so.



I played this a huge amount on the PS2 when I had it originally. Looking forward to playing it again. Hope I haven't been spoiled too much by Wipeout HD.



Two GameCube games that I've never played but am looking forward to trying them out on the Wii.





These are two of the three games I used to own for the 32X. I liked Star Wars Arcade but found it incredibly tough and never cleared the second stage I'd say. Doom was good but extended play would give me motion sickness.

Now I just need to get a 32X system.

Augmerson

I love WipEout Fusion, class game. Alot of WipEout fans were disappointed by the game as there was an increased emphasis on combat in Fusion but I think it makes for some really gritty gameplay. There are problems with graphical lag if you get too much stuff on screen however. I don't think that's really allowed on a console, understandable if you were on an under-powered PC but the PS2 should have been able to handle it and if not then the designers screwed up making it like that.

Retr0gamer

Doom 32X is absolute garbage. Probably the worst version of the game other than the 3DO version. No side or back sprites for enemies, the game has horrible borders and half the levels are missing.

All true. But back then I didn't know any different.

martineatworld

Just got an absolute MONSTER haul, took up a whole boot! I'll be living on noodles for a while it seems... Includes a decent Gamegear collection, MGS 3 Subsistence (no manual:(, but got it for a fiver!), a decent sized DC lot, and about 80 ps1 games! It's a bit of a mess at the moment, so I'll organise it and post pictures if my camera decides to work!

o1s1n

/eagerly awaits photographs

Dark Savior

Sweet,can't wait to see these.Was it at a car boot?

Ardennes1944

combat flight simulator on pc. love it!

martineatworld

Was originally just a GC lot on donedeal (ye may have seen it), then eventually got talking to him, turns out he had a lot of lots and wanted to clear them all. I said I'd be interested, and he gave me first preference on most of his lots. Just about to start taking photos and found out there's a boxed Tales of Symphonia in there too, sweetness!

He had some other lots I didn't get as well, but they were gone before I arrived and I didn't think

http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/games/1296748

was worth it...

o1s1n

200 euro for -

176 Megadrive games.

4 x Mega Drive 1

4 x Mega Drive 2

13 x JoyPads

Power Adapter's + Ariels

Kinda glad I didn't see that!

Dark Savior

Nice one,maybe some of these will end up on the Retro Trading Sticky ? ;)

martineatworld

He was pricing it all pure cheap as well, I couldn't say no, god love him giving up his whole collection! Sorry, btw, long time reader etc, always meant to start posting on here properly. My camera battery is acting up so it may be tomorrow before photos are up but I will put them up!

Total haul is as follows...

2 DC's (think there is two, there's a boxed one anyway)
2 GC's, 1 boxed
2 Saturns
Boxed Gamegear, box bit tattered but with manuals.

Assorted leads, controllers and memory cards.

And I'm genuinely scared to think of the number of games. Circa 180-220. 80% boxed, 60% cib. (Not retro but Time Crisis 4 boxed with gun for a fiver?!)

A foam Triforce.
About 20 ps1 jewel cases.
Sengoku for the Neo Geo in plastic wrapping still was given as a freebie.
Loads of ps1 demos
Some cheatbooks
A random handheld space Invaders game
A folder full of random game manuals and original box art. Think I seen Original NES and Sega manuals thrown in there.

Very happy man

o1s1n

Sounds like the greatest haul I've ever heard of in Ireland. What's the deal? Did he own a shop? Or was he just a collector being hassled by his wife?

You got yourself a ready made collection there. Congrats!

martineatworld

Collector, used to buy lots of bundles and what not. He had a whole wall with a shelving system floor to ceiling half packed with games and memorabilia. And that's cos' he had taken the other half of it down and sold it already to either me or previously!

Anyway, he suffered a faith that leads to the demise of many enthusiasts...

Wife and kids

His wife was supportive of it, but they're expecting twins and apparently babies and a game collection can't go in the same room together!

A good lot of the games are rubbish though, and I won't even bother polluting the trading section with them. I could have a few decent GC doubles though, but we'll see. Anyway, I'll be off to focus on taking pictures now!

Jack burton

I am so jelous of that stuff man, but let me be honest, retor gaming is actully really rubbish, no one here actully likes it, we just pretend to like it to get the women.

SO as for the megadrive haul that is not amazingly epic in anyway just leave it in a room with me and o1s1n and a sharpened spoon and we'll get it sorted for you. :P


Seriously though that is amazing, well done on spotting that, I never check donedeal.ie.
As for myself I'm after scoring Shinobi III for about €15, I was really excited about making everyone jelous but now i dont think that will happen
