Parklife, one of those things everyone should own, like kidneys and a copy of Man in the High Castle.

Won Parodius for the Nes today, the plan for total Konami shmup domination continues!
Now to find a 360 that'll play the Otomedius games!

Two Snes boxed goodness from postman today.
My first, and last, sealed Snes game and I can't wait to play it in its 60hz glory. Big blue well sound awesome!

The other is Rainbow Bell Adventures in all its 50hz glory. Not released in the Americas at all. It's one of the few games, bomberman 3 being another, that use Euro dopes got from Nintendo that the US didn't get.

All in all two great games, in great condition and for less than the cost of one loose Sunset Riders.

'Whack a bed guy...'

From the back blurb on Rainbow Bell. Not sure if its a misprint or their all bed guys.

Why do the bed guys always get the girl?

Jack burton

Well, you would have a better view from where you'd be kneeling!

Come on now, you had to know you were going to get abuse!

Wait until the photoshop fiends get done with that photo!
You saw what happened to Retr0 and Atavan and their ill judged postings!

Andrew76

Congrats Jack. Although I have no idea what BJJ stands for. Bleedin Jayzus Judo?

Myrddin

You mean your not actually Jack Burton? Fukc this, I'm off to Jamma+

Jack burton

Oh I know the photoshops are coming, I have braced myself.

Love that game, never realised it never got a US release.

TechnoFreek

Managed to get a few bits from FrancoB before he took his break. Only posted last Friday and I used Parcel Motels NI address. Just picked up today.

Apologies for crap photo.

You made me choke on my lunch. :pac:

Nice stuff Techno. The quality of FrancoB's work is top notch, only down downside is the long wait time with him being so busy.

Yeah. His work is excellent alright. High attention to detail. Luckily I had my order even before the cab arrived so the wait wasn't so bad. He also is taking a break until the new year at least. i was one of the last orders he completed.

Andrew, do you have a one player or 2 player panel in your cab?

Right now it's the original one player cp. Have a two player but took it out recently, only so I could sit centre screen.

Bomberman 3 is another one. Euro exclusivity over US, isn't a very long list. Few name changes as well contra being an obvious, a little less well know is Super Pang which became Super Buster Bros.
And of course Zombies lost their appetite for your neighbours in Europe as well. I understand that when I see my neighbours.

CiDeRmAn

Well if European exclusivity is a near guarantee of high prices it would suggest that the GAA games must really suck!

MrVestek

So I just bought this:
http://www.ebay.ie/itm/140883470348?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I'm not really sure why. The PC version back in the day was pretty good if you're a Star Trek fan... wouldn't mind giving it another go on the PS2 just to see what it's like.

*notsoninjaedit*

Also that video now makes me want to kill people. Thanks for that... the guy's an idiot.

CiDeRmAn

Sorry but the PS2 version is supposed to be utter rot while the PC version is quite good.
The sort of compromises they made with the character models make it look like you are being persued by Minecraft inspired Star Trek characters.
Now that may be fitting for the one dimensional and wooden Harry Kim, but it's nowhere near enough polys in the curves on Seven of Nine!

The Last Bandit

Well MDK on the PS1 hasn't all that great to be honest, struggled with the controls. So picked up MDK & MDK2 on GOG for less than a fiver

Not sure how much longer that particular sale lasts though..

I figured as much. It was only £3 postage included so I'm not loosing out on much. I mist try and track down copies of both games for the PC.

I remember Elite Force II being quite good although bloody hard at the same time.

Andrew76

Very nice safetyboy! :cool:

Just bought Halo 4 in work. I'm really not a fan, but it was only €20!

CiDeRmAn

How did you manage that?
I'm hoping to pick up Doom 3, Lollipop Chainsaw and Ridge Racer Unbounded for 40, the seller is considering my offer.

The Last Bandit

Picked up that broken US Saturn on adverts. Fuse blown, dropped in a PAL power supply and woohoo another working Saturn

TechnoFreek

Some genuine Taito parts

the groutch

won't bother with a photo, but got myself an NTSC-J copy of Fighter's Megamix for the Saturn

CiDeRmAn

Great game, but I always wish they released a Racers Megamix as well....

Danonino.

Big Box Final Fantasy crystal chronicles for the Cube arrived woohoo. Delighted. I was needing a replacement GBA link cable but went for the Game+Box for completions sake. Very very close to finishing my Gamecube collection but I'm horribly broke.
Four sword's adventures is the plan this weekend, been waiting a long time to get this played.

Not retro but Finally picked up my copy of Forza Horizon. Game is very very nice to look at I must say, its also strangely addictive for a Forza game, cant put it down. First Forza since 2 that I've actually really enjoyed online and stripped down to basics the game is far more balanced and fun. Gotta say the limited edition doesn't seem to be worth it. Forza 2/3 and 4 gave great physical extras but Horizon is pretty much metal box+VIP membership. I only bought it so it would look nice on the shelf beside 2/3/4 which are all Limited which made me feel like a sucker. Its actually the first time I've ever bought a LCE and not used the dlc codes so I can decide whether I will sell it on or not O_o. Pretty sure there is a chap selling Forza 4 LCE codes on ebay for a fortune.

James Howlett

I'm not normally a fan of racing games but I agree with you about forza horizon, it's fantastic. It feels like an old school racer that is accessible to all player types. I particularly love the open world aspect to it. The radio stations are great so it's fun to just aimlessly rip around the (massive) open world roads for nothing more than the fun of it.

Danonino.

Gotta agree, I actually find myself trying to take the longest route to the next race so i can hopefully find some discount signs and just "cruise to the sounds of Fenix Fox on Horizon rocks"

Going to flip a coin tomorrow to see if I'll use the VIP codes.

Atavan-Halen

GIve me a shout if you don't want the dlc codes :P

Almost finished the main "story" in horizon if you know what I mean. Fantastic game but would have liked a few more races. After I'm done with that going to hop into multiplayer some more and try out the free roam activities. Let me know if yous want to play!

CiDeRmAn

Well, having forgone the madness of buying unboxed PS3 games for more than preowned prices I spent the the money on Ntsc copies of Supers Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
I feel much better, cleaner in fact.
Rejecting modern games for classic fare has been quite cathartic in fact!
I have Super Star Wars all ready, a pal copy, but it works great and in full screen on the Ntsc Snes.

I thought he was at the gin bottle again with all his newfangled purchases:p

TechnoFreek

Today I received an email from FrancoB telling ne that one of the looms he wired for my arcade cab was wired incorrectly. Have to return it for a replacement.

No biggie though as I hadn't gotten around to needing the loom yet.

CiDeRmAn

Ah!
Parodius is now residing in the local Parcelmotel, awaiting my pin!
It is amazing what they were doing on the Nes/Famicom.
Gradius II is really impressive

o1s1n

I did the unthinkable, I just knowngly bought a boot!

In my defense, it's a Punisher CPS1 boot. The real board has a double suicide battery (!), is crazy hard to come across in a working condition and sells for a fortune.

Really looking forward to getting this, it's probably my next favourite arcade beat em up to AVP.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Finally got these this morning, what is it with me ordering stuff from the US and these people moving causing weeks of delay. I got them in the end it's the main thing, DS2 is sealed as well.

CiDeRmAn

And Retr0 will only love you all the more with the sight of those new arrivals!

Myrddin

Caught a dose of Cidey Syndrome today {buying modern gen games}

Bioshock 1 - €10 in HMV
Bioshock 2 - €5 in Smyths {both used}



Assassins Creed 1 - €5
Brink - €5
Command & Conquer Tiberium Wars - €0 {Xtra Vision 3 for 2 offer}





Not a bad little bit o' games chasing plunder from retail shops

How is the sound ?
I heard you usually experience just some of the original music in an endless loop on most Q-sound boots .
