You might get better results by searching for its alternate name - "fleshlight"

Let us know how you get on.

Also, they are expensive, so search for "used fleshlight".

:pac:

Kinda retro, my copy of Iron Giant on Blu has finally shipped from Amazon in the States. Ordered that back in April and it's just been released.
A gorgeous remaster and some great extras, can't wait.
And, that ending... must be dust in my eye... Don't judge me!

Also got Etrian Odyssey 2 yesterday from Readyletsgo, for my DS, the second and third titles were never released in the EU.
I also got the non retro Fire Emblem Conquest and Birthright for Cidonalad for Christmas, he was after then so should be delighted, now to find a hidey hole until then!

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth arrived today, not as nice as my Clocktower post though imo. Still happy to get it, can't wait to play the new game

had to get a US copy too when I bought it (still sitting in my backlog), European copies seem to be nearly impossible to find.

I found that too, it was strange but shipping wasn't bad so I didn't mind getting it from there

Few new purchases last week

Loving both controllers so far!

Not using the Fire stick for any gaming but using the NES30 Pro with my Shield TV and it works perfectly.

Fragile Dreams on the Wii came yesterday, looking forward to playing it. It was €30+ on most places and found eBay.co.UK to be more responsible. There was another for £15 it was NTSC, dunno if it's still there but I preferred this cover lol.

The Last Bandit

First console I ever owned probably got it late 70's or early 80' and spent hours on it

Console needs a clean up & retrobriting and must investigate getting AV out. But the boxed carts are perfect complete with instructions etc.
Only 8 carts available for this so must try and get a complete set.

That's one I started but never finished It has a real nice look to it and the soundtrack is great. You'll probably finish it before I get back to it, the backlog is bad at the moment and for the foreseeable future.

Here's another version of the same console, going cheap on Adverts.
It includes a game you don't have too.

More than what I paid Ya that's cart I want alright, we had that one and its a decent enough breakout clone from what I remember. Might see if a split is possible..

That's Bray done I'm afraid, they had two on display but the remaining three came from the store room.

Profiteer? And risk another Metroid Trilogy debacle? Are you mad? :pac:

Nah I'll find a home for them. One of the 360 ones is gone to my sister already.
Might see if folks are up for some swapsies

I was going through stuff yesterday, mainly doubles. I was going to put them on the marketplace. I've Saturn stuff and PS1 jap games, some pal ps2 as well. I'll stick up a thread later and you have a look.

Damn
Ever bid on something and then sat there hoping you wouldn't win?
Yeah
Just had one of those this morning.
Not a bad deal, just the game isn't as good as I first thought.
Won Gigawing Generations on the PS2 on eBay, works out at €34 posted, which is considerably less than typically, even if it is the NTSC/J Taito Best release.
But, after my minimum bid, a little research showed the title to be less than the excellent shmups it's prequels were.
Sure, if it turns out to be pants I'll sell it on.

I actually listened to the soundtrack a lot over the years . That's how I found Aoi Teshima who isn't just a beautiful Japanese singer but also has some really good English covers too.

First get in aaaaages. Been on the lookout for an NTSC 3DS locally but they're all a bit pricey. Saw this one come up in a police auction and got it for $100 (€68 ish)

Through my postbox, came this. I'm in love with the box.




It's larger than a standard DVD case as well - it's weird.

Yeah, well DVD's weren't out at the time, they only came into being in '95 and would have hit market with the characteristic boxes a year or so later.
Road Rash hit the 3DO in 94, and the PS in 96.

There was lots of experimentation and adoption of non-standard packaging
Such as this for the Mega-CD

This for the 3DO

That's an old school NTSC box. They were used for a good while, I know my NTSC resident evil came in the same style box and that's a 96 game.
