Has anyone seen the Garda Car Surfing pic that surfaced today?



Boards member CiscoStudent did a great job on giving it the retro treatment!

After listening to the '8-Bit Micros' - Arcade and Retro Podcast,
which Sparks, Dino and Retr0 talk about Isometric games such as Head Over Heels and the Last Ninja for a bit,

I went on the search for a clone of Head Over Heels i played on the c64,
and found a very nice page that shows practically all the Isometric games released on that platform, with a screenshot of each!

I could be wrong, but I think that could be a sister store of the RAGE? Vaguely recall them saying they were opening something - or someone closely affiliated was opening something - in the arcade.

Or: what Mister Saturn said

It could well be, its the first "stall" in the middle when you go in the opposite end to georges street, the stall was closed when i was there but there was some consoles in a glass case outside, i think i memory serves that stall usually sells records so it could be related to RAGE in some way. 50 euro for a SNES as well i think it was..

Pretty nice 2D map of the Ocarina of Time here that might look well printed out, or professionally printed in poster size.

Definitely gots somethin' to do with the RAGE.

50 euro for a SNES! it better come with a **** load of games.

To be honest I'm always willing to pay more for a common console(snes,nes etc) that's in really good condition. You can grab a SNES or NES/Famicom for very cheap but if you pay a little more you can get a non smelly yellow one that really looks great and feels at home in the collection.
But you are right, 50 quid for a standard snes thats probably not in great condition is a rip off and more or less the normal asking price in RAGE.

I'm on the lookout for a famicom at the moment and there sure is a big price difference between a mint condition one like this one I'm talking to a seller about


and a smelly yellow one like this sort of thing

Retr0gamer

The yellow adds character.

Atavan-Halen

Tbh, for some things if it works then all the better. My famicom is definitely on the rough side but was dirt cheap.

Yep, character and also syphilis
As always, each to their own. I prefer my consoles to be minty fresh if possible.

WTF Sony!! Stop pulling games from the Vita store because they happen to have a flaw that allows homebrew. It's almost as if they don't want me to be running NES games on the thing :rolleyes:

Latest game to be pulled is "Super Collapse" by the way.

Glad I held off buying a Vita now. Price drop is surely inevitable no? As for the 3DS, I'll wait for the re-design with dual controllers...

3DS??? Oh yeah, that black thing I use to stop my post blowing away or falling off the desk. I use the Black one downstairs for new post and a red/wine one for post I need to get to upstairs.
Really handy devices

It's a neglicted piece of hardware in my house as well. Its not even a paper weight round these parts. Really must get that Kid Icarus title. That will bring my 3DS collection up to 2.

johnny_ultimate

3DS is shaping up to be a fine console, really. I still only have two titles (the old Kid Icarus, Mario 3D Land combo) but there's a plethora of titles out or upcoming that interest me. Rhythm Thief, NSMB2, Devil Survivor: Overclocked (take that, US exclusives :P), Mario Kart, Project X somethingorother etc... It has plenty of life in it by the looks of it, and a more promising lineup than the Vita from what I've seen and heard.

I have to say the 3DS is shaping up fine these days. I bought one when the price crashed on amazon to replace my broken DS lite and I'm surprised to find myself looking forward to games that are actually for it. XSEED are putting games on the eshop that were originally retail so the region locking might not be as big of an issue as I thought to begin with.

Andrew76

I take it all DS games play on the 3DS? Or region matching ones or whatever. How do they play with the d-pad on the left way lower than the buttons on the right?

Myrddin

Vita pricedrop? Hmm, I'm not so sure. That's mean Sony were wrong, & you know Sony, they're never wrong :rolleyes:

3DS Lite? Also not sure about this. Certainly eventually, but the 3DS is already based on the design of the DS Lite...can that format actually house the innards for yet more elctronics? It's still a bit soon.

DS games from all regions play fine on an EU 3DS. I imagine the region-locked DSi-specific games are still region-locked on a 3DS though. Still play DS games on a DS myself, but never noticed a problem with the d-pad's position on the 3DS. Incidentally you can use the slider pad with DS games too, although it isn't particularly useful in the majority of cases.

johnny_ultimate

Ive been playing a lot of Strange Journey on the 3DS and its grand. Not a game for the slider though, due to its grid like movement. Could imagine the slider does benefit something like Mario 64.

It is well class for playing Super Mario 64.
I actually adore the 3DS, sure it needs a redesign, 2 circle pads and bigger screen, but outside of that i love it, and already great roster of games,
only Fault I have is I dont make enough time to play it.

I must buy Kid Icarus, Mario Kart yet, and I cannot wait for what E3 turns up,
But for me big one is I want next is Mario Tennis Open..
Looks fab and great for handheld games, Gameboy titles were and are still outstanding.

Check out SMB1 mode in it

Given how much fun Mario Tennis is on the Virtual Boy, I know this is going to be a great way to show off the 3D effects of the 3DS.
Also, I'd love to know if they'll stick the VB original in there as a bonus, would be sweet let me tell you!

Retr0gamer

Looks like Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers is coming to the 3DS in japan but you can bet Atlus will bring it to the US since it's a Shin Megami Tensei game. Can't wait, it's considered one of the best RPG's of all time. Shin Megami Tensei with an even bigger Cyberpunk leaning? I can't wait!

Anyone get anything shipped from Shanghai recently via EMS China express?
Did it take longer than 15 business days?

Yes

Took almost a week & I got stung by the Feds for vat.

Good luck

Some students from MIT have hacked the electrical system of a building on their campus and wired up an old console to it to play the biggest game of tetris you've ever seen.

I just got my dress via EMS yesterday which was posted on the 11th of April, did you get a tracking number?

One thing that confuses me is that they seem to say plough and ploughing as a replacement for the words f*ck and f*cking... but then they say f*ck every now and then anyway... It does not make sense!

Seriously? Well I'll be ploughed.

its around the same timeframe that they announced the DS lite.

My money, is not on a 3DS lite but a 3DS "Pro" with a second slider, perhaps larger screens and a design that is actually slightly bigger than the current model but with sleeker lines.

That's certainly possible, they do have the XL format to play around with. I suppose a 3DS housed in something like the DSi XL casing would provide the room for additional controls. It'd be damn cool too :cool:
