It really is a lovely thing to look at, not that many games worth having for it but I intend to pay it some attention next year & pick some of the better ones up

Set it up a few minutes ago and it all works fine Couldn't figure out how to eject the tray - mad that it's the reset button!

Vic!
Doom 64 is fantastic , and a different enough game in its own right.

Have you played PCE Street Fighter 2 CE yet? It's a technical marvel.

Not yet, its a real grail GET! for me though. I remember seeing it on Bad Influence years & years ago and being bedazzled by it!

@Bob - yeah I've heard some good things about it. I like to collect Doom on as many formats as I can too so thats the N64 done. Jag next!

Do you have a pair of 6 button pads for SF2?
Nice Judas day gets though, me, I got Nintendoland, Top Gear from the Snes and another copy of Pop'n Twinbee also for the Snes.

Only have the one pad so far, but tis indeed a 6 button {it being a Duo-R}. Top Gear for the Snes is something I've been after for a while, funky soundtrack in it yeah?

o1s1n

What's the story with 6 button PCE pads anyway? I've seen them but thought they were just turbo etc buttons? Can the PCE be truly 6 button? Or is it something you need one of the fancier later models for?

They're proper 6 button pads alright. Presume you need a multi-tap for 2 player SF fun since the console itself only has a single joystick port.

Top Gear, the soundtrack is indeed most funky, not a bad game either, and full screen on the ntsc Snes too, so good times.

Not really a new get but just brought my Sega Naomi New Net City/Universal Cab home

Just got my hands in the Pikachu 3DS xl. It really is a lovely thing. Only complaint would be that the xl feels like it has a cheaper build quality compared to the regular 3DS.

The Last Bandit

Nothing retro this Xmas, picked up Final Fantasy 13, Final Fantasy 13-2 cheapo in Gamestop - got Dead Space 2 throw in for free. Shame I was too scared to finish the first one

Steve X2

Nothing really retro for me game wise this xmas. Got some nice nerd gifts from people though.

Seriously cool is the 3DS XL. I'll have to pick one up at some stage!

Atavan-Halen

Don't forget if you register one before the 13th you get a free game. I went for Professor layton as I've no interest in the others and I already have super mario 3d land.

CiDeRmAn

Hmm, my birthdays on the 13th, I wonder if someone will buy me a 3DSXL?

Mine is the 16th but not expecting anything gaming related after the Xmas lot. I got a bottle of aftershave balm, not a gift box or anything just some Nivea I always use.


Serious lack if gets for me recently after my van polled debacle which was compounded by girlfriends car being vandalised outside college.


@Atavan-halen- where'd you get that? Really want one!

My little haul so far (went a little mad on ebay)



My old xbox original was on life support and I decided to pick up a Crystal version. I am really glad I did as it is a much nicer looking console then the traditional black finish. (Still waiting on a bunch of original titles to arrive)

Picked up a few choice games to add to my gamecube collection and something I have wanted for the longest time a lovely wavebird. Picked it up from a french seller on ebay for 35 euro delivered which I was pretty happy with. He said it had some minor black marks on the back but the ebay picture looked pretty good. Really pleased that I took the plunge on this one as after a 10mins cleaning with an eraser all the scuff marks were gone and it looks brand new now.

I finally decided to test the lot, testing the xbox went great, so great infact that there was another nice surprise. As I hit the eject button I found that there was a copy of nfs 2 left in the xbox. Not typically my kind of game still a nice thing to find. It was at this point that the pessimist in me thought this was going far too well and i'm not this lucky.

So then I sat down to test out F-Zero on my Wii with my new wavebird. Had been looking forward to this for ages. *cues dramatic music* What do I find? Just that my Wii has decided that its not going to load any more discs for me, simply ejects every disc put into it now.

So looks like the only way I will be playing this is to shell out for a new(backwards compatible) Wii. Just can't bring myself to use those horrible composite cables with my Gamecube, after playing with the Wii's component cables for so long.

Morale of the story, I'm just not that lucky

Must say little bit gutted by the demise of my Wii, its the first time I have ever had any issue with a nintendo console. Guess they really don't make them like they used to.

CiDeRmAn

The Wii's fragile nature is one of the most under reported, not as bad as the sh1te original 360 or the spontaneously combusting interior of the ps3 but definitely the Wii is joy as robust as a typical Ninty console.
I lost my launch machine last year and it's pre owned replacement is making similar screen tearing problems as it's gpu self destructs.
At least my Wii U is bound to be of a solid and reliable construction, given it's a launch v1 machine....
Who am I kidding, it'll be lucky to make it to the end of 2013!

Please people, let's work together and cease this limited edition buying madness!!
You poor souls haven't a ha'penny between you and Atavan is tempting you with images of and links to yellow delights from the Orient!
I've heard of chasing the dragon, but draw the line at chasing the pikachu!

Went back to the place I scored Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha, and they just happened to have these Street Fighting gems this time. Also I scored Hurling because... Eh... Just because! Lol.

Picked up a Soul Edge jamma board this morning as part-ex for my bartop cabinet. Hope this jamma board collecting doesn't become a habit !!

Retr0gamer

Got a small bundle of joy today. Inside was Phantasy Star 2, 3 and 4. Now to try and find a reasonable copy of Phantasy Star 1 and to kick myself for not picking up the one for $15 from Lukie Games.

Also a massive box arrived today, thankfully only my dad was home. I would have been thrown out if Sauron arrived. 90% of the box was packaging material and 10% was taken up by a PS Vita and Gravity Rush.

Two things I already don't like about the Vita:

1. It doesn't come with a protective cover. The PSP came with a lovely protective cover that was very much needed. My Vita is in serious danger of scrathed screen.

2. The packaged game NFS Most Wanted is just a download code. Kind of annoying because I wanted to use my US account to play my PSP games. Oh well I'll be on the look out for another memory card then. I hope San Disk can churn them out soon.

Soul edge? Savage. Is it the B version?

This boards are easy to pick up and cheap. I've been resisting one myself for ages now.

Don't know how much longer I can hold out.
Same goes for tekken 2.

Its version 2 board, to be honest I only wanted a Jamma board to test a supergun I'm working on so wasn't too fussy but its actually decent enough in the limited testing I've done.

good man, add me if you want. pdbhp as usual.
download Frobisher says it's a funny little collection of mini games. think warioware meets simonsays but for free.


there are many design issues with the vita but that aside it really is an amazing little console.


gravity rush is pretty cool alright gonna give it the attention it deserves tonight cos i've been playing need for speed constantly. it really is that good.

Capacitors!



Paging Enternow...Enternow required in theatre...

Is that from RS or craplin? They do bags of random ones in there..

o1s1n

I got them from the chap who owns this site. He's a really helpful stand up guy.

http://console5.com/store/vectrex-cap-kit.html

If you ever need a specific cap kit put together give him a shout. He didn't sell a cap kit for my monitor, but I sent him some lists and photos and he was able to do one up.

Holy crap :eek:
Thanks for the link! Saves so much hastle faffing around RS buying 50 packs of caps..

o1s1n

It's been an absolute nightmare trying to find caps for that monitor. I've been firing off emails all over the place, but similar to what you said, people only wanted to sell in bulk.

Was about to completely give up and buy a mountain of them when I remembered I'd bought a Vectrex cap kit from that lad and thought I'd chance my arm.

His name is Luke. You can contact him at sales@console5.com

Dale Parish

Actually what I am doing nowadays is getting old DVD players out of the recycling center and removing the caps and voltage regulators from them, and some diodes. But you will always come across the odd set of caps you can't find locally or.. if you can, they'll be in bulk!

At the same time as getting the Wii U Pro Controller, the controller that I don't own any games for, I also picked up a new HDMI switcher box, so's I can have the 360, PS3 and Wii U hooked up at the same time, the old one only handled two inputs, this new one lets it handle 3, it's not automatice , it's got manual buttons, but then it was around €35, which isn't bad at all.
Now to await B-Day vouchers, so I can pick up a few proper games.
Nintendoland is in no way a decent title to have, the single player stuff is pretty pants, excepting the DK game.

MrVestek

This is kind of videogame related... just took delivery of the following Vinyl record:



I love the last sentence on the back of it though:



I honestly have no idea what track this is... or even when I ordered it. I have no recollection of ordering it whatsoever but I assume it's something that was in my wishlist on discogs that popped up for sale. I'm slowly building a steady video game related vinyl collection.

If anybody is interested I may post it up here some day. :-)

*edit*

It seems this is the track in question:
http://www.sonicstadium.org/music/supersonic/

I don't think I'll be playing it too much, it's more for the collection I suppose.
