A couple of bits this morning, awaiting me upon my desk


I've always loved the Peter Jackson vision of King Kong and the book came out, by the Weta Workshop, in connection with the movie.
The conceit is that it is a scientific record of the island, it's geography, flora and fauna, as recorded just before WWII and the island'd destruction in that war.
Tons of material, beautifully illustrated.
It's not in perfect but good condition for a ten year old book.

The two Famicom carts are Ninja Gaiden I and II, I had looked at the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy for the Snes, but the games are unmodified ports of the originals, and the Trilogy cart is expensive, so the original route was the way to go.
Ninja Gaiden III is a little more expensive, so I'll bide my time and pick it up in the coming months.

Get the famicom version of ninja gaiden 3, they royally ****ed up the western release by taking out unlimited continues.

That's the set I'm aiming at, I prefer the look of Famicom carts anyway.

so yeah got a few calls from a couple of guys I've grown to know who have stalls at a few car boot sales/markets I go to. They said they'd found "video game stuff" in storage lots they bought.
weird to see a stack of Genesis games in Ireland ...


I know it looks good and lucky on paper but I spent years establishing relationship with people at the markets, consistently going to many car boot sales and charity shops ... and a 6/7am start on sunday is not always a pleasant experience

...actually no, they did rub themselves off me at the party after the convention :eek:

I'm like a wean at Christmas right now so bear with me

She arrived today












I haven't seen a MD2 in 20 years so it's shocking I forgot how small it was compared to Model 1


And I just threw on a random region-free game to see if it worked.

Well, I can only sum myself up in no other way but;



And I have about 7 NTSC-J games on the way throughout the course of August - I'm delighted. I never buy myself things like this

Myrddin

Lovely get! I never knew the Japanese MD2's had a sliding power switch...thought they were push buttons like the US/EU versions

I was stunned at how well it was looked after to be honest, even the box is immaculate.

You get that a lot when buying games/consoles from Japan...they really look after their stuff.

Finally got a clean one of these I think that's my home computer collection now complete (apart for the ridiculously expensive stuff).

CiDeRmAn

Wow, I haven't used one of those since 92!
The hospital I was training in decided to replace their BBC:B machines, while I suggested Amiga 1200's they went with Archimedes', and a number of them too, must have cost a fortune!

Steve X2

Few bits in today.











You know you buy too many retro games when you have to get a barcode scanner to help you input them into your collection database software
It's a decent barcode scanner actually, bluetooth/USB, all the good stuff

This arrived this morning, the XCAPTURE-1 from Micomsoft (of XRGB fame). Sailed through customs thanks to the "Friendly" customs declaration that Solaris offer
It's not retro in and of itself, but its going into the loop with my XRGB Mini Framemeister for capturing whatever its displaying/processing (retro consoles or modern).

Kind of pricey, but the results from what I've seen are worth it.
