If I ever enter, and then win, the Euromillions lottery I hereby promise to make the next Dredd and another Serenity/Firefly movie, and therefore become a god to nerds and geeks everywhere.

I will also buy up every last CDi and burn them in a pyre at the Papal Cross in the Phoenix Park!

My new pal s video cable from consolegoods and 2 new games I picked up.

Also picked up omega boost for Ps1 and Mario kart super circuit for gba.

Lookin forward to the N64 the most though. I bought it about a month ago and haven't been able to play it cause of the **** cable it came with.

Worse still I won't get a chance to play it till Thursday!! Argh!!

Danonino.

Body Harvest.. man that game sucked some serious hours from me Always silently wishing for a sequel or remake.

Don't you think they over stretched a bit with it though?
I mean, massive game world, lots of onscreen threats, tons of, vehicles be the whole thing looks like it was rendered on a ZX Spectrum and it has the worst N64 Vaseline-O-vision on the console.
I must dig it out again and remind myself of it.
I wonder if they had waited, for the following gen or released it on the PC, how much better it might have been.
Even in terms of visuals, the likes of Blastcorp did much more with the same kind of viewpoint, on the same system.

I was looking at them listings over the weekend, if you wait long enough one may pop up without the manual at a reasonable price. I bought a bunch of boxes and manuals off Yamatoku on Ebay then got the carts of Hit Japan. It works out a lot cheaper than buying cib games. These two arrived yesterday. I was only playing Contra (badly) with Retro on Friday.

Does the SFC Contra 3 have the Gheybots or the Dudes?

I would say they were kept folded down from new in a book, the box itself is fairly mint along with the manual. This was the original listing for the box manual bundle.

Little help please ...





So I got the cable above from consolegoods it's an n64 pal svideo cable.

The black cable is baffling me I can't figure out where it fits in the telly.
It's different to the red and white ones.

I have an LG led flat screen if that's any use.

It fits in the S video slot not all tvs have one. Its on the front of my trinitron beside the volume and channel buttons.
