Welcome to the F3 Owners Club Pantrylad!

Elevator Action Returns is on my YOINK! list too. Awesome game.

@StevenEmmanuelle: I thought you got a new F3 mainboard? Was the other one fried?

No, this is the only one I have now. I think it's fixable and might just need the voltage turned up or down on the board.

On a brighter note, I'm getting another c64 tomorrow for parts and I should be able to use it to make the joysticks work on my other c64(the nice and clean one).
Also off Japan in the next 36 hours

Just took a gamble on ebay, its not gaming related but its retro related

Just got this fella from ebay.co.uk, cant really tell if its the best condition in the world but seems to be fairly good, have to wait till he gets here to inspect it fully. Already have my eye on a backup on :P

That's mad, I only noticed this past past weekend that my nephew has one of them teddies. I never had a pet monster myself, although I did get near enough to 151 virtual ones in the late 90s.

Jack burton

I've wanted one for ages, ever since I saw it in the backround of the monster squad film. They go for stupid money sometimes though

Excellent price man!

You posted up something about them a while ago and really got me interested. I remember seeing them on TV when I was a kid but couldn't find one over here.

In good condition they usually go for up to around 100 dollars from what I've seen.

Pyongyang

£20 is deadly for one of those. I don't see the handcuffs on it though?

Lad I knew at school had one. Rumours circulated like wildfire that a lad (no, not me) went round this lads gaf one night and picked it up only to find a hole carved in the arse of it.

Will never forget that playground rumour as long as I live. Poor sod was lambasted from here to Gormanston for that stunt!

Jack burton

Yeah they do, I had one lined up for a snipe at the weekend, but my friend were in my house and got me all paranoid about losing and I ended up breaking my own rules. I bid at 12 seconds

Needless to say I lost


It was literally like this

No handcuffs with this one, I know I'll end up getting one with the handcuffs though

True story. It's only when you start getting super old AND realizing it, that you start to say stuff you remember your folks saying, mainly the oft lauded:

"School days. Best days of your life."

Couldn't agree more. Some of the things that you look back on from your youth is truly mind-blowing sometimes.

Jack burton

Yeah I loved school, except for teachers who thought they were in charge of me, you not...your a teacher like, **** off. The last 2 years of secondary school were just some laugh. oh the things that went on

Pyongyang

I'd like to hear some of Adlutappleflavouredbeveragemale's school stories.

Here's a photo from his class yearbook. :pac:

Retr0gamer

Nothing major today, just a US copy of Simons Quest. It's not the best game in the world but it's better than AVGN will have you believe and I'm a massive Vania fan so :P

I heard he showed promise in Art class drawing pictures of the local wildlife. :pac:

He was also known for his interesting new inventions in woodwork and discoveries in science.

Pyongyang

I heard that his chemistry lessons were a hoot too.

And on the 7th God rested and took turns playing Road Rash on the 3DO with Ciderman.

There were some good days when I was in school...

I remember when Bob suggested we cease our hunter gatherer ways and try domesticating animals, working towards a food surplus and the construction of the first walled villages, we all thought he was mad, Mad Bob we called him...

Then there were those damned Phoenicians, changing import duties on everything....

Don't get me started on the Minoans, told them about the volcano, the need to learn to swim...

The 7th day and God? The bum cheated at Return Fire!

Just paid for Homura on the PS2 for 27 with shipping.
Am I mad?

Pyongyang

Pirate Ship Higemaru is one of the greatest video games ever made.

@Adultappleflavouredbeveragemale: If it was the PAL version then yes. That price is a little on the urgent side. Awesome game though sir.

CiDeRmAn

The game was €12, the shipping from the pirate nation of Italy was €15, a tad steep but it really does appear to be the cheapest copy available.
As I post this I'm sure someone will post up something cheaper!
Ah, there isn't all that much of modern games for €27 that will be as good, I suppose, plus it adds to my little Shmup collection.

CiDeRmAn

And here it is,
Homura for €20.48 with free shipping
Homura at Play.com

I hate when that happens.

Just ordered a Mega CD (or whatever the hell it was called in this region) off the bay from the UK... £33 and £14 shipping.

The catch? It's broken... doesn't detect any discs. I'm sure I can fix it though...

*ninja edit*

Mega / Sega / Supermegaultrarare CD mk II btw...

CiDeRmAn

Ah, it's only 6.50, feck all and I still will own a great Shmup.
Next stop, Ibara for a tenner!

Fingers crossed the Mr Driller and Puzzle Bobble PCBs just boot up without any odd syncing or whatever. I think that's going to be my PCB buying days over for a while. Got a bit silly there. Have that Neo Geo 1 slot out in my parents waiting to be collected too

On the Mr Driller 2 PCB , if you find the screen is kind of flickering at a higher refresh rate, go into the system settings, and change from De-Interlace or Interace (which ever its set to). I had to do that with my Mr Driller G board.

Oooh, thanks a million for that! You probably just saved me from a massive freak out

Good luck with that! I sold my copy not so long ago well over ten times than amount, and it didn't even have the LE bonus book with it or insert pamphlet!

Sure my Insanity Naked Hunter DVD was about half that too, same as my sealed Ibara OST oh, and Ibara sketchbook too. What can I say, I like Ibara. It's ondafly's fault.

Rest easy Adultappleflavouredbeveragemale, for I will (hopefully, assuming my reservation papers are taped to a copy in Akiba) have a full Ibara kit to nibble your eyeballs with in a matter of days. You can have a look, but no touchy touchy.
