Did a few calculations and including Parcel Motel delivery to your door, they clock in at €67.
Kind of half tempted to pick one up at that!0 -

Bof is fantastic, i got the ps1 version, must find the back and cover art for it thought, manual is huge.This is such a great thread, just spent nearly an hour looking at all the lovely retro goodness.
I accidently started collecting Gamecube games last week when I found these two hidden in a jumble sale. Tenner for both, best gaming bargain I ever got!
I also bought Grandia for the PS1 and Breath of Fire 3 for the PSP from Ebay recently. BoF III is unbelievably addictive, I reckon I've put hours into the fishing minigame alone!
Also started collecting GC a few months back along with wii, I recommend getting the resident evil 1 remake , best game on the system , with skys of arcadia a good second, "wonder how many will agree with me lol*0 -
Does the Zelda game include Ocarina of Time on the bonus disc?
Should do, its a nice edition of the game too.
Are you playing them on a Gamecube or a Wii?
Either way you've a lot of great gaming goodness right there.
And welcome to the Arcade and Retro forum!
It does, the discs are in really good condition too, couldn't believe my luck!
At the minute on a Wii but a Gamecube is next on my list when the funds replenish themselves a bit. There's the plans for saving for a 3ds out the window, haha.
Thank you :-)0 -

Setting fires are we?
Haha, no. I bought it for shrinking heatshrink tubing to repair my headphones, as a normal flame tends to melt or set fire to things even when it's held a good bit away.
Butane lighters can be held upside down and it doesn't effect the flame.
During the long the wait I bought a better tool for the job though, its the generic sparkfun heatgun which is marketed as an embossing craft tool in the UK, hence the girly love heart:
It was either that or the pink one, lol!0 -

Got all these in HMV, €25 for the lot. Needed a 3DS case as there's all sorts of crap getting into it from being loose in my bag.
Really happy with the condition of this. Took a chance as it was €13 posted from Japan with only 1 picture and a new seller on eBay, but it's really mint and arrived in less than a week including the bank holiday!

Everyone: No. It's **** and/or you probably won't like it and/or ever have the time to actually play it.
Ciderman: I just bought the game!
(Please note: this should not be confused with the patented Ciderman 'purchase / trade / repurchase' cycle - they are seperate albeit interconnected algorithms)
Ciderman then sells it, regrets it a few months later and buys it back for twice the price.

Here's todays haul:
The main star of the show being the Wii. It is only my 2nd Nintendo console ever since I bought the Super Famicom 2 years ago!
This model is backwards compatible with Gamecube games as you can see on the top, and it also came the Homebrew Channel pre installed:
I absolutely love when consoles are backwards compatible with the previous generation, like the ps2 and sega mega drive.
And the Virtual Console is the icing on the cake as I can now conquer my shame of never playing 99% of Nintendo 64 games INCLUDING Super Mario 64!
Now all I need to do is order an RGB Scart cable for the Wii.
The seller was so nice they included a 2nd playstation free, and both models have the parallel port which is great. I can now hear the first half of "the best sound ever", unlike with the PS2!
Not a bad haul for €65.
There was one bump in the road with the Wii however, but that should be ironed out tomorrow when I update this thread.

The wii virtual console seems great until you realise that other than a few imports and the tg16 games, they are all in crappy 50 hz mode.

Can't even understand why they would have virtual games in 50hz, when they're certainly not restricted by the hardware.
I guess I'll have to make do with these for the Nintendo 64 and NES, not sure how good they are though:

The home brew emulators aren't that great either. They all display in the wrong resolution, it's really noticeable and annoying especially if a game scrolls vertically. With a modded system you can install the NTSC games.
