These arrived today. The Namco box set and the Turbo Stick are in incredible nick. The Turbo Stick hasn't even been opened (SG-OCD!) and has RC-OCD as all cards are present, I left them out the photo, and the Namco pack has DOUBLE THE SC-OCD GOODNESS with lots of RC-OCD overload!!
Figured I'd screenshot my iPhone too and show a few of the SHMUPS I have. I've another folder with some but these are the main ones. Prefer playing them on my iPad though, iPhone screen is far too small for them.
Here's the snaps:

Love those Metal Slug carts! You HAVE to buy Blazing Star!
I'm keen to dip my toes in Neo Geo waters but is there enough SHMUP smut to make it worth my investment?
Blazing Star is in the post old chap
Pulstar on the other hand is a hard one to get and at the top of my list, just not willing to spend €500 on it(I'm trying to be a bit thrifty on this one and thrifty comes hard to me
)
I mean I have them all on the 161 in 1 cart but it's not the same.
Not sure if there's enough SHMUP smut on Neo Geo to appease your hunger for it. Still, if you have an arcade machine you gotta get at least a 1 slot MVS board and a few carts I reckon.
They are fairly cheap and you have some real classics on the system.

I like Metal Slug, Red Star, Contra, Assault Suits Valken etc, could be worth a dip in Neo Geo waters...
If you're interested, get an arcade board, a supergun and collect MVS carts. That way if you ever get a cab you can just throw it in.
You can also get an AES home console and an MVS cart adapter for it to play the arcade carts that way. But the adapters are insanely expensive. My one cost €120 and that was a good deal. Normally they for sale for around €200!
Whatever you do though, don't even consider collecting AES home carts. You'll end up having to mortgage your home.0 -

I hear ya, it's so easy to get carried away with good deals. I shall say no more
Someone should definitely buy that though as it does sell for a lot more and rarely becomes available for that price.0 -

I stuck a link to it in the bargains thread.
Someone should grab it quick, I might even grab it myself if its still there in the morning

These arrived yesterday. A brand new CIB, unopened Turbo Grafx adapter for my Turbo Stick so I can use it on my Duo-R, and Namco Museum 5 (PAL). Figured I'd make complete PAL and NTSC-J sets.
Here's a cheap one for the collection

There's another unboxed faselei on amazon.co.uk from the same place I got mine for 30 sterling delivered. Very impressive game for the handheld technically although I've not played much if it.

Yeah it was a competitor to the GBC. It's only got a small selection of games but just like the Virtual Boy, it may not have many games but the majority of them are crackers. For the NGPC even more so. All the games I have are amazing, well other than the pachinko one that came with the console.
The NGPC really couldn't have come at a worse time. I have an issue of Arcade from 1999 and they are reviewing the first batch of NGPC titles on it, fatal fury, metal slug, puzzle bobble and tennis. They said they were all brilliant and that if games of that qulaity kept coming there was a good future for the system. The high quality games did keep coming. However in that very same issue, in fact on the same page I think, they reviewed a little RPG that had just come out called Pokemon and done a section on the craze it has caused in japan.

Believe it or not I didn't have Deathsmiles Deluxe for my 360 :eek:
That was remedied this morning thanks to the postman. Got two new and sealed copies of it delivered for 10 euro each plus shipping from UK
Why two copies? Because I'm Steve SI and I have a problem.
I think I need a sponsor to call when I fell the need to order two of something for no good reason. 0 -

Where did u grab that?
I need to get on for my Nomad as well for when the "Special One" comes out of retirement and has a bit of time to mod my Nomad screen and battery
.
It's like waiting for the second coming of Christ, isn't it?
Just got news that Metal Slug First Mission landed this morning. The NGP love begins! Although I'm going to be left in the same situation Retr0gamer was as my console is also coming from Japan.
Lots of games, no console to play on. Ah well, I can admire the clamshells while I wait 0 -
dang! must have missed you .All sorts of goodies in The Rage today, Maniac Mansion for the NES, RC Pro Am as well, should have bought something but I had already bought Battle Engine Aquila and Super Monkey Ball Deluxe for the PS2 and Advent Rising for the Xbox in CEX.
Also bought a recharge pack for the Nomad so I can complete the battery pack mod.
I was in there today but ended up rummaging through the box of cheapness!
got a phone call so had to leave fairly quickly though still I got :
and
all CIB 0 -

I'll send you a pic of my NGP playing Metal Slug later if that helps
Would you like me to use the Stone Blue or the Crystal White NGP
Seriously though it is a great little handheld (in my opinion) and the joystick is always a surprise if you've never had a go on one before.

I've played one before alright. The joystick is probably the best I've seen on a handheld. Shame the design was never used again!
Really wanted to buy the crystal white, it's a thing of beauty. But the transparant one was going for a good deal cheaper so I went with that instead. Starting to regret it now. May have to pick up a second one :pac:
When the special one comes out of retirement I'll be harassing him to mod it with a frontlight 0 -

I prefer the Stone Blue myself(or maybe that's because its the one I bought when they first came out).
A front light would be great. I'm actually not sure how I ever played any hand helds without a back/front light.
Maybe I'll ask the "Special One" if he can do that for me as well.
How long before the "Special One" gets pissed off with us for calling him the "Special One" I wonder.
Any comment "Special One"?
You must be bored with that retirement at this stage. Come on out of retirement for one* last mission, 1980's/90's movie style.
*will actually be about 10 missions0 -
