The AGS:101, truly a god amongst consoles.
Everything looks better on it, from ancient Gameboy releases to more recent GBA titles.
If you are importing, Wario Ware Twisted is a nice one to pick up.0 -

Metroid Zero mission is a decent place to start
Not quite in the same mould as super metroid but still a very enjoyable game
Links awakening DX would be one of my fave gameboy colour games, full of magic and charmThe AGS:101, truly a god amongst consoles.

I'll keep an eye out for the Metro games. I had Fusion a long time back but I don't know if it's in the attic or long since gone. If I'm right theres a collection of games in the attic that I had, if I'm wrong, my mother binned them or gave them to a charity shop.
The SP might need a re-housing and a clean. What would be the best way to clean the case and board, alcohol on a q-tip?0 -

Today' get:
€35 in gamestop new.
This is my first time buying a new game from a store for the previous gen consoles!
Bought it solely because I wanted to play Blood Dragon the minute I got home, and because I never finished Far Cry 1.
I finished Far Cry 2 but this is handy to have so I can go back to it again!
And also, I thought it might make a nice collectors item a few years down the line....
....that is until I realized when I got him that Blood Dragon and Far Cry 1 weren't appearing on the PS3 screen.
Turns out they're digital downloads with codes provided in the manual, so that ruins the collectors value.
The guy in gamestop was real nice, and suggested just buying the Digital Version of Blood Dragon to save money!
So despite that little let down, can't wait to play it!0 -

The best thing about the game is probably the soundtrack.
Full of atmospheric, 80's synth goodness!
There was a double vinyl pressing released in April limited to 1000 copies, and is worth at least £50 now (I think!).
One of the Arcade and Retro regulars bought it he liked the album cover so much.
Who was that again lads?
Two of us grabbed the vinyl, both in Waterford I think I cracked when i seen the post and had to pull the trigger myself. Its lovely and was without a diubt worth grabbing. Its been a slippery (but enjoyable) vinyl covered slope since then. You'd be looking at €60+ easily to get a copy now, think there was one around that on discogs, and people being silly on eBay.
Would love a pressing of power gloves other stuff and will buy without hesitation. Motorcycle cop, streets of 2045 on vinyl.... Mmmmmmm
Picked up a copy of m.o.o.n particles last week and will snatch and grab his next ep as soon as its out. He recently announced the repressing of his first ep too. Most here would recognise it straight away as the hotline Miami soundtracks first few levels.
Perturbator (amazing carpenteresqe synthness) also just had an instant sellout of his first vinyl release, which I missed. Good news is his past EPs are being pressed over the year. A lot of people would recognise Miami Disco from hotline Miami, that game really had some serious tracks on it.
Kind of strange how I'm so obsessed with these slabs of music. There's something great about finding something like The Escape From New York soundtrack whilst flicking through a pile of records in a shop and bringing it home that a download can never replace.
That was quite the rant :pac: (tried to make it a little more readable) I may be a little drunk ha ha0 -
I think safetyboy posted some of his other tracks on fb before, but I never followed the artist closely, will check them out.Would love a pressing of power gloves other stuff and will buy without hesitation.

Theres a great italo / club version of The Escape the Escape from New York theme, and Assault on Prescinct 13 too, love them along with the originals!
Can't find the club version of Escape from new york on youtube. 0 -
