The Revenge of the Post Here When You Get Something New thread

I dont think theres a left handed one, and if there is I wont have the money to get it. After a quick google is seems the only one ever seen was on the cover of the dvd for "The Wizard". Turns out its not just a mirrored image because the words "Power Glove" are the right way around. And I've seen AVGN wear 2 before but it was just that he put a right handed one on his left hand.

I would like to wear this at Halloween but this is a power glove were talking about, it could only lead to one result....meeting a ghostbuster with a working proton pack and if you thought crossing the streams was bad, you dont want to know what happens when this level of power gets involved

I've tried to play Last Hope but I just find it a bit crap.

Jack Burton, you're a legend. I hope there won't be pictures of you on facebook wearing nothing but the power glove!

Dale, I gotta ask. Do you collect/play consoles and games as well as old computer systems?

Yeah but bearing in mind I'm 20 and therefore missed out on thee golden era (:pac:) so the collection of stuff is slow as I work out what I need next.. looking at picking up a NES tomorrow; most of this stuff (like RGB being of the better quality) is new to me.. :pac:
I don't think I've posted images of consoles I've collected; mainly because they've been done to death but I have all the obvious ones like the C64, SNES, 2600, A1200 etc (not to mention sinclair +2)

Well, they aren't all for my personal use. A lot are for my collection but I'm also slowly building up stock (and also contacts) for my retro online/offline store. It's a long way off but with retro pricing the way it is it'd be unlikely that I'd lose money on them even if they sit in storage for an extended period of time.

I have it myself (the original, not the pink bullets one) and really don't like it either. Plays like a slow Neo Geo Shmup or something.

Will you be supporting your local retro store then?

And THE POWER GLOVE! Huge thanks to Waveform for sending me a link to an ebayer with very decent shipping rates to Ireland. Thanks so much, been wanting one of these for ages and so hard to get them at a decent price with shipping

Came with the sensors and is fully working.....



...its so bad!

So glad it's working man, I think I can stop sweating now!

megaten

Picked up alpha anthology for 2 euro and the first digital devil saga for 3.

Where did you pick them up?
That Street Fighter title looks nice indeed.

I picked up Space Invaders Extreme 2 for the DS, which I am happy with, I have the two of them now and nice shooter they are indeed.

I'm thinking they may be compatible with the Taito Paddle controller for the DS, must have a look and pick one up. It'll work on Arkanoid for the DS for sure at least.

BTW Jack,


have you tried doing this with the Power Glove yet?

I thought the 'Power Fap' was a term reserved for occasion(s) when you were in the middle of 'wrestling your bald champ' and someone arrives home so you have to speed up in order to 'put milk on the cornflakes' before you get 'startled by midgets'

Ah OK, in Eire you called them 'Danger Fap'. As Vincent Vega once said to Samuel L. Five Star "it's the little differences":

Paper Mario would make an ideal 1st anniversary gift for my wife... if she gave a **** about video games.

Some recent gear which arrived.

An MVS unit which fits in my feckin cab! It's in great condition too, couldn't be happier with it. Also rediscovered how amazing Shock Troopers is. It's such a polished game.



Here it is sitting on a piano



Also got this little beauty. I love the marquee! Reminds me of the Powerpuff girls.







The board itself is super clean.



Also got a faceplate to pimp up the 360.

A pantry, solid gold wallpaper and a piano?!

You mean to tell me you don't have a piano?

I also have a fine, aged mahogany drinks cabinet I'm sure you'd love

Whilst not a wood Lover I can appreciate any alcohol containment unit. Although what's in it that matters!

I clicked on your Bear Adventure link, good stuff. I did something similar before and although you do get weird looks from passer-bys, the photo are always worth it.

Definitely got the oddest in the Guinness Storehouse. Definitely worth it. The fcuker comes on every trip now :pac:

Just order by Turbo Everdrive for my TG-16!
Can't wait now to receive my SD-Card enhanced piece of Turbo Grafx loveliness!
In a couple of weeks I'll have the entire HuCard library at my finger tips!


Of course, this is purely so I can play the legitimately owned HuCard titles I have without having to damage the originals....

My mam was in a foul humour at lunch which could only mean one thing, a big box of 10 NES games arrived from the US. Roll on 5.30!
