Arcade and Retro General Chat in Karkariko Village Tavern: Live Ocarina Music

Well in the case of Mario 3 the levels are designed with marios moveset and physics in mind. When you add marios physics and moveset from DS which are totally different I'm sure it becomes a lesser game.

Also the graphics suck compared to the NES game :P

is it possible to want to play a game so bad for its soundtrack ?

Yes, that's why Retr0 loves Burn Cycle
Actually, we have enough never heard of his like/dislike of LoD's soundtrack, is it as pitiful as the rest of it?

Viewing two houses in Bray tomorrow. One has a long extension on the side, the other has two sitting rooms and (even better) a huge unfinished concrete shed down the back of the garden - just needs to be roofed and insulated.

Both exceed mancave basic requirements

Nearly got screwed there on Adverts.ie.
I was looking for a 3DS XL and one came up for 150, offered 130 and it was accepted.
I was in Swords anyway and decided to do the bank transfer there, while in the queue I got a call from Adverts saying the guy/gal is a scam artist.
Talk about a close shave!

Isn't part of the sign up process a text verification? I think it is anyway...

Thank feck for that! Fair play to the adverts team for letting you know.

What was their Adverts user name Ciderman?

o1s1n

That's brilliant! Dodged a bullet there Ciderdude.

Great to hear a good Adverts story for once

Just loaded up a game on my Commodore 64 using my Sega Multi Mega. I was bored and thought it time to test out a new CD Audio interface I got for the C64. Was looking around for a CD player to test it out and couldn't find one, then i remembered the Sega CD

Adel-h was the username but they've been banned, apparently again.
I got very lucky and have the lads at Adverts Towers to thank

That's really low, fair play to Adverts for getting on to you. That's all you would have needed, at least with ebay you have your buyer protection for what it's worth. I wouldn't have thought of scammers operating in bank transfers on Adverts, you learn something new every day.

I'm always weary of bank transfers with people, I'd always insist on cash or paypal myself. Paypal have protection and I usually bring my copper pipe for cash meet ups haha

o1s1n

There's no way in hell I'd do a bank transfer with someone I've never met before. Just asking for trouble.

Then again, to do a bank transfer you needed the person's real name and bank account number.

Bit of a silly thing to do if you're a scammer? Odd situation.

Was playing away on the 3DSLL and went to the home menu to find 4 gifts. Opened them up and found out that the Japanese 3DS supports RecoChoku which seems to be a spotify type music streaming service, some quiz thing in which I seem to win eggs, hulu for TV and librica which is like a manga/comic book app. Thought it was interesting that the 3DS is capable of those kind of apps!

My young fella wants to be Brian from Minecraft, so I just need some cardboard boxes and poster paints.
I'm getting some Kabuki make up, or so I'm told.

Has anyone played Alpaca Evolution on the iPAd/iPhone? It's on android as well and is free. There's a sequel as well.

To say anything about the game will spoil it but if you have the hardware you really need to try this game, it's bonkers.

Anybody know of a game for PS2 that is like geometry wars?

CiDeRmAn

That's a great question, can't think of one at the moment though!
I'll have to take a look at the collection at home and I'll let you know.

L1m1tless

Thanks I would appreciate that!

I picked up Taito Legends II on PS2 the other day, and I'm just giving it a spin here now. This is great fun. It's got tons of old games that I've never played before.

Those collections are some of the most, frankly, generous in the gaming world.
They are streets ahead of the Midway/Williams, Atari and Capcom retro collections.

Sorting out a few things on the laptop here, and Girlfriendo is play Sonic 2 on the Megadrive beside me. Is it just me, or has that game got the funkiest soundtrack ever?!

In other news, Metal Black seems like great fun!

That's actually the level that was being played while I was typing that post. Pure unadulterated funk.

Sonic music just doesnt sound right anymore unless it's being sung in acapella by Smooth McGroove

OwaynOTT

It was a sad day today in the OwaynOTT house, as I had to delete all my Saturn related saved searches.

In other news what the hell is up with people buying retro games? I just sold Bomberman for €60 to a guy who gave me an offer of over twice what I had up on the listing. Up at €25 for 3 days, no bids and only 2 watchers and he does that. I found at least two other listings for less than that and one in even better condition than mine and I was not even looking for Bomberman, just came across them looking for other stuff.
It's gone mad.

did he ask for it to be sent to his sick cousin, aka The Prince of Nigeria?

Not much of a fan of Sonic 3 or Sonic and Knuckles soundtracks? I couldn't say which of the 4 games was the best music wise (S&K3 is my favourite to play) just thought they would have been mentioned.
