    I'm tempted myself but unboxed will do me fine, those Super Star Wars titles are super hard and contain much that must have come from the editing room floor, but they are very cool.
    Any trades you looking to make, perhaps?

    They are b@stard hard in places yeah, love them though & the soundtrack in them all is really nice.

    Trade wise I'm open to offers, but not really after much except NTSC Snes stuff at the mo :)

    NTSC Nes. Cleaned up to mint status actually, got it for a really good price too, delivered to my door for €43, with one pad & the obligatory Super Mario/Duck Hunt cart.

    Looks a beauty. The finest looking console and joypad of them all imo.

    How come the power button is pressed in though? Super secret mod?

    Discharges the capacitors so you don't get fried when you open it up.

    Cheers dude, it was grubby as hell when it arrived. Took a bit of scrubbing, but it cleaned up really well & I'd now describe it as minty fresh. No mods, button was just pressed in from cleaning it & I failed to notice :o

    Cool looking console & pad for sure, pretty iconic they iz.

    True, they recommend yo do it when opening any console.

    Yet another slight on the CDi, when will it be its turn to be the belle at the ball?

    And, as for NTSC, I do have an unboxed copy of Super Godzilla here!

    Unfortunately it does sell for 3.50 on ebay :(

    just got it this morning, very much appreciated, thanks loads and loads!

    Few bits today.

    A non working Astro Wars (doesn't power up) complete in box with cardboard inserts, manual, reg card and receipt. I already have a fully working boxed one but not the inserts and other stuff.
    I'll have a go at fixing it up and if it cant be fixed I'll convert it to a Raspberry Pi box with some sort of screen. It only cost .99p and 8 quid postage.

    Final Fantasy for the Wonderswan Color(to go with my Final Fantasy edition Wonderswan Color):

    And a new mug:

    That's a damn fine mug son.... damn fine.....

    Shouldn't it be like 100 ft tall, so you have to scale the exterior to get at the tea inside?
    Some may think it's impractical but I think it's a runner!

    I love Super Star Wars on the SNES, great game and nice to see them all boxed up.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,392 Mod ✭✭✭✭Optimus Prime


    Yep, they are in good nick, and look great, love these games. Couldnt let them pass by, i spent the last few days looking at them on adverts deciding to put a offer in or not! haha.. cheers Enternow.

    Oh it was directed at me? Of course not everyone on adverts is a chancer, lets just say though that the good doesn't outweigh the bad on it. Still though, I've shifted a bit on it recently without any hassle or drama so I can say its decent at times. Its the wild west though, when you read some of the feedback & all on it about people getting the guards involved etc it opens your eyes

    I've met some great folk through adverts. If you're a seller it seems to be grand.

    The problems only really arise when you're a buyer and you're being outdone by people with off thread dealing/scamming etc

    No, your a pure cowboy! I bet when keithgeo looks more closely at those 'star wars' games, he will notice a few things.
    First, he will notice a slight inky residue on his fingertips and upon closer inspection of the boxes he will see smudging of the artwork.
    Second, upon opening the boxes he will not find classic Snes games based on the Star Wars franchise but rather he will find a copy of the failed franchise, Bubsy. He will then proceed to discover rival turf and FIFA 96.
    If he is really unlucky it he will find Rise of the Robots or Darius Twin.
    :)


    Seen Taken 2: Taking it a bit too far, tonight.
    What do you get from diminishing returns on a cheesy classic? Comidic gold.
    Neeson: listen to me. Get out of the car, enter the chocolate shop next door to the man who plays the fiddle all day, once inside notice the spiralling yellow stained pine staircase, go up it, backwards.
    On reaching the top, proceed to the third door on my right, not yours. Open it. And enter.
    Then climb out the third window from the right and throw a grenade.
    You should eventually come to wear two circles intersect.
    Try to fit in by stealing a maids clothes and hijacking a yellow taxi.
    Drive eastwards towards where the birds are.
    Turn right at the white stool and drive in third gear for precisely 7 seconds.
    You should be at the ferry. Drive into in reverse.
    Stay on the ferry for exactly 4 minutes and then drive off.

    Best clip. 'Can you get out of the closet?'
    *overly long dramatic pause
    'Yes I can.'

    Highly recommended film, forget Looper, if you go see any film before the Hobbit, go see this.

    I went to see Lawless last night, it was not bad at all, almost got a good performance out of Lebouf, and went to see Madagascar 3, which surprised completely by being very entertaining indeed, after 2 poor offerings previously.

    Nearly went to see Lawless as the missus was choosing the film, hench Taken 2 tonight.
    Decided agaisnt it as she was completely mixed up about who was in it. She didn't realise LeBeouf was in it at all.
    Also got Hardy and that Tatum guy confused. She wanted to see it because Hardy was such a great actor. I asked what was he in that she apart from Batman, she said he was good in Haywire, Tatum, and the last Bond movie. I said he wasn't in the bond movie. The one with snow, the last one. Pointed out the last one was based in Nassau and Chilean desert, likely no snow.
    I said that he in Brothers that she saw, she thought I was talking about the tv show Luck because Nivk Nolte was in both.
    Realised that she was thinking of Inception and the bit in the snow as well not bond.
    So got wrong actor in wrong films, in non-existent films and made up her own film with bits of bond, haywire and inception.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,599 ✭✭✭James Howlett


    Taken 2.
    There was one point in the movie where Liam said something about being good at killing. I can't remember the exact words he used but it was so very close to:

    "I'm the best there is at what I do. But what I do best isn't very nice."
    (Wolverine quote)

    They should have included that line. It would have been worth the lawsuit.

    It's never been used by the looks of it, the pad is brand new, no dust at all on the console or in the disk tray, no marks at all on it.

    €45 I nabbed it for, I think thats a damn good price. The real seller was that after selling five Snes games & buying US replacements, I made enough profit so that this only cost me €10. Been after one of these for a while too :)

    On topic: Nice bargain :)

    Try and get the car PSU for it, I let one slip by when they were selling them off in Harvey Norman years ago.
    Not sure how much use you'd get from it though.

    Wow man, that's amazing.

    I picked up a PSOne and screen before for 30, but they were all scratched up. To get everything minty and new like that for an extra 15 is insane.

    Edit - my Turbo everdrive has been shipped!!!
