Parklife, one of those things everyone should own, like kidneys and a copy of Man in the High Castle.

Won Parodius for the Nes today, the plan for total Konami shmup domination continues!
Now to find a 360 that'll play the Otomedius games!

Two Snes boxed goodness from postman today.
My first, and last, sealed Snes game and I can't wait to play it in its 60hz glory. Big blue well sound awesome!

The other is Rainbow Bell Adventures in all its 50hz glory. Not released in the Americas at all. It's one of the few games, bomberman 3 being another, that use Euro dopes got from Nintendo that the US didn't get.

All in all two great games, in great condition and for less than the cost of one loose Sunset Riders.

'Whack a bed guy...'

From the back blurb on Rainbow Bell. Not sure if its a misprint or their all bed guys.

Why do the bed guys always get the girl?

Well, you would have a better view from where you'd be kneeling!

Come on now, you had to know you were going to get abuse!

Wait until the photoshop fiends get done with that photo!
You saw what happened to Retr0 and Atavan and their ill judged postings!

Jack burton

Love that game, never realised it never got a US release.

Managed to get a few bits from FrancoB before he took his break. Only posted last Friday and I used Parcel Motels NI address. Just picked up today.

Apologies for crap photo.

You made me choke on my lunch. :pac:

Nice stuff Techno. The quality of FrancoB's work is top notch, only down downside is the long wait time with him being so busy.

Yeah. His work is excellent alright. High attention to detail. Luckily I had my order even before the cab arrived so the wait wasn't so bad. He also is taking a break until the new year at least. i was one of the last orders he completed.

Andrew, do you have a one player or 2 player panel in your cab?

Right now it's the original one player cp. Have a two player but took it out recently, only so I could sit centre screen.

Bomberman 3 is another one. Euro exclusivity over US, isn't a very long list. Few name changes as well contra being an obvious, a little less well know is Super Pang which became Super Buster Bros.
And of course Zombies lost their appetite for your neighbours in Europe as well. I understand that when I see my neighbours.

CiDeRmAn

Well if European exclusivity is a near guarantee of high prices it would suggest that the GAA games must really suck!

So I just bought this:
http://www.ebay.ie/itm/140883470348?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I'm not really sure why. The PC version back in the day was pretty good if you're a Star Trek fan... wouldn't mind giving it another go on the PS2 just to see what it's like.

*notsoninjaedit*

Also that video now makes me want to kill people. Thanks for that... the guy's an idiot.

CiDeRmAn

Sorry but the PS2 version is supposed to be utter rot while the PC version is quite good.
The sort of compromises they made with the character models make it look like you are being persued by Minecraft inspired Star Trek characters.
Now that may be fitting for the one dimensional and wooden Harry Kim, but it's nowhere near enough polys in the curves on Seven of Nine!

The Last Bandit

Well MDK on the PS1 hasn't all that great to be honest, struggled with the controls. So picked up MDK & MDK2 on GOG for less than a fiver

Not sure how much longer that particular sale lasts though..

I figured as much. It was only £3 postage included so I'm not loosing out on much. I mist try and track down copies of both games for the PC.

I remember Elite Force II being quite good although bloody hard at the same time.

Andrew76

Very nice safetyboy! :cool:

Just bought Halo 4 in work. I'm really not a fan, but it was only €20!

CiDeRmAn

How did you manage that?
I'm hoping to pick up Doom 3, Lollipop Chainsaw and Ridge Racer Unbounded for 40, the seller is considering my offer.

The Last Bandit

Picked up that broken US Saturn on adverts. Fuse blown, dropped in a PAL power supply and woohoo another working Saturn
