Post here every time you get something new!

I spotted a copy of Hellfire in there, boxed with manual.

Sounds of feet slapping against the floor, door slamming, car starting, and so on....

Jack burton

I need to go to dulbin and visit that shop, i'll brong my moths wages with me

ghostchant

Ah Augmerson I think I was in the place the same time as you, saw the other person there going for mega man 2 anyway! Bought 8 gameboy games (including Ducktales which i'd been looking for for a while) and CIB Bart vs The Space Mutants for the NES (crappy game, but remember playing it with my Mam and Dad a lot when I was a kid) could've spent an awful lot more though!

I've been getting a few lists in from a friend of mine in the UK, and I've picked up a good bit of the stuff on the, mainly nintendo gear.

I got about half the nintendo stuff here. Mainly I'm happy to have Mario Kart. Overall I've fairly happy with it, I think they were good value.

Got Rogue Galaxy for the ps2 and G Darius ( mint ) for the ps1

Sexy list is sexy.

Was looking for something in my garage car hole and this fell out of a box:



Its dirty but it appears to be in very good condition besides that. Tempted to try and buy an old SNES to see if it works!

It's a terrible game. I will gladly dispose of it for you for free.

Super Potato haul from today:



The Neo Geo and Wonderswan Colour are for others, but I've currently just bought batteries for the crystal to give it a whirl I would have bought more games (got One Piece Battle Colosseum, Gunpey, Beatmania, and weird ladder platformer that's meant to be good) but alas my 'discretionary expenditure' account has closed up for the moment!

Got a boxed copy of what I think is Action 52 on the Sega Megadrive.
Found it on the video rack in a charity shop. That's really as close as I've come to justifying the purchase.

The Mario Anniversary Edition of All-Stars arrived in the post today. I knew the game itself was just a repackaged SNES game, but the booklet and cd are disappointing, it could have been so much better than it is really. I was looking at the Fallout 3 lunchbox and thinking Mario deserves better than that, but he got so much less. Game really should have just been packed in with the red wii considering how little it offers.

It better be worth a fortune someday

You do know those action 52 games are worth a lot of money?

Yeha they ar arnt they, how much the MD one worth?

That's doubly crap re: the extras. Bad enough Ninty taking the piss with fans by releasing the exact same games again, if it had all the Mario platformers up to and including Sunshine then I'd fork out. Even ignoring the originals and the Snes cart can't you get all of them via the VC? Maybe except for the lost levels?

These fellows came in the post this morning, button 4 on the controller works like a charm so chuffed about that.



CIB'ness:

Atavan-Halen

Wow, both those look in brilliant condition!

Lol!
See that other auction up to £60+ now with 5days left, gimps. And seller saying he can't post proper pics because someone bid? Weird. Did you email him to get pics? Wonder is it in good condition.

Jack burton

Yeah, its stupid, but hes laughing all the way to the bank, some stupid americans bidding on it. Looks a bit suspect to me but I made him a "sizeable offer" for mutant league Hockey and the Wily Wars

All i got back was broken english reply about everyone having the same chance

Seems like I'm the only person here who doesnt have this game now so next one that comes up is mine!

Lost levels is on the VC as well. I'd much rather the NES games than all stars. Prefer the authentic NES versions since the physics are the slightest bit off in all-stars. That and you can go down to rage and get the cart for the snes for about 5 euro.

CiDeRmAn

I couldn't wait to get the anniversary set but think I may give it a miss.
Heck, even the Mario Allstars+World is a better package.

A proper package, with everything platformy of Mario, with all things from Nes, Snes, N64 and GC, with GB/C and original GBA titles, given the bulk are already on VC, it'd be easy to produce, and with a nice, hardbacked art book, a must have at almost any price.

Exactly, that would be a dream disc. I love my Mario platformers but there's only so many times I'll pay for the same stuff. Milking feckers.

Retr0gamer

If sega and Taito can include a **** load of excellent games on one disc then Nintendo can and the only thing stopping them is greed.

well FINALLY this showed up, ordered from the uk about 3 weeks ago.

Uhuh, kinda why I bought it, but that's redundant. I never sell games, never ever. Ain't feckin' savvy enough.

Funny, because I think the physics are the slightest bit off in the NES versions.

Christmas present from my parents arrived yesterday. (not allowed anywhere near it til the 25th though!) It's a clear/purple gameboy pocket with pink backlight and pro-sound mod. Figured it'd be cheaper than a gameboy light!

Now if only my other two gameboys would show up...5 weeks to the day since they were shipped!

weeder

i said it arrived but forgot to say what it was LOL

I can't go back any further on ebay at the moment, but I have enough gamecubes, I've picked up at least three from adverts too.:o

Jesus christ man!

As someone who amassed a multitude of multiples of the same console, I can tell you this - it's not worth it. Use the space to get more variation in your collection.

You reach a point where you're surrounded by loads of the same console. I have about 7-8 Megadrives. If I got rid of 5 that would be room for 5 more other consoles!

New to this part of Boards.ie but great to see so much interest in the retro games!

I've just started getting in to picking up the oldies and in the last two weeks I have obtained the following:

1. OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast (XBOX)
2. OutRun 2 (XBOX)
3. Metal Arms: Glitch In The System (XBOX)
4. Earth Defence Force 2017 (XBOX 360)
5. Drill Dozer (GBA) USA Import, new and still sealed
6. Madden 09 (NDS) UK PAL, new and still sealed
7. Advance Wars: Dual Strike (NDS)
8. Street Fighter: Anniversary Collection (XBOX)

Modern stuff perhaps, but some are pretty hard to find in good nick so I've been told.

Looking to get in to the GameCube stuff I think. Is that shop on Fade Street worth a look in?

Hey there! The shop (the rage) is definitely worth a look in, but as far as I know it doesn't hav any gamecube stuff. Not gamecube games as of yet anyway.

Oh and Drill Dozer is a great game, hope you're planning on opening it and playing it!

Finally got to RAGE this morning.
Nice selection of stuff, could've spent a lot more but held back!
Got Hellfire (yay!), Wonderboy III and Dynamite Heady all for the MD, cost around 23 for the lot.
Happy with that.
Nearly bought Bubble Bobble and RC ProAm for the NES and Pokemon Blue for the GB but didn't.
He says that they're getting in Snes stuff over the week/weekend.

Bastard! Had my eye on it and decided to save my money and now regret it.

You do know there's 4 monster land games and all of them are supposedly excellent metroid games? Think all of them have a fan translation. Monster Land 4 is supposedly a classic. Just saying it in case you really dig it.

Any mega drives? if so, any idea which model they are?

This little beauty came in the post this morning. Shame the SD card doesn't sit flush with the top of the cart like the NES PowerPak, minor gripe though. It works a treat. Each time you load a new game it just takes a few seconds to flash to the cart.



Some pics of it in action (still so impressed with that modded screen EnterNow).





/Edit: Just managed to get Wily Wars working on it too.



Nice touch with the packaging too. :pac:
