New Get City, post here when you get something new

Steve X2

Few games in today.

The Last Bandit

More of a build then a get.. Build a dedicated tester for the jammacon adapters, dragging the jamma loom out every time just got tiresome. Also this doubles up as a ridiculously over sized controller converter

I mean, you didn't need prerendered visuals to show off the MD, you already had Virtua Racing, Comix Zone, Thunderforce IV and the likes of Street Racer and Red Zone, doing mode 7 scaling and other tricks and all through software.

Vectorman was frigging brilliant, never knew it had a sequel...

Gamer Bhoy 89

I was holding out until all the gear I bought arrived at the door before posting anything. But here I go now.


Bought a Wii for €30 so that I could homebrew some games. Never tried it before so it should be a fun ordeal.


I got Tekken 3 from Hit-Japan on eBay and Tekken 1 (w/ spine card) & 2 from Steve Bailey.



This will be the first time I ever owned a Main-Series Super Mario game on any platform.


Taking a bit of getting used to with the JP text on the screen but so far it's been pretty straight forward.


And I bought this because I needed change for the bus :pac:

Day 3 gets

Hit Akihabira today for the first time. Heading back for more tommorrow, think I will have to make a few runs to get some of the larger items I want.

And why yes that is a gamecube lan adapter, which makes me 50% closer to the 8 player double dash that I have always dreamed of.

I'm more in love with the Bomberman haul. >_> I've only got 2 and 3 on SNES. That multi-tap looks amazing >.>

Some MSX goodness from Ollie

Lucky bastard!

His for sale thread had me scrambling to try and buy an MSX. Decided in the end that you'd probably nab all the good stuff before I got a chance

Retr0gamer

A msx 2 is worth it for space Manbow alone. That ost...

Pretty sure the nemesis games are left which are amazing. Nemesis the 2 and 3 are original titles

And that's why baby Jesus (or your favorite deity) invented flash carts

Surprised nemesis 3 and vampire killer (castlevania) haven't sold ... like anywhere i advertised it , yet .
Athletic land is a pretty fun and 'common' game too.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Didn't do too bad in the Tesco sale, happy out to get Epic Yarn. My copy of Contact is a bit battered so glad I picked up another. I might see if anyone is looking for Terraria and swap, I don't think I'd play it anytime soon.
I was hoping for Wii U games.

Steve X2

Few bits that arrived on Friday.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Picked up Super Mario All Stars 25th Anniversary box in the Tesco sale, pretty happy that I just happened to spot it when exchanging something.

OwaynOTT

That was a nice little get there dizzy! Think I got lucky as well with a Pokemon sapphire. Went in chancing my arm today and there was like 30 DK returns on the shelf!

This sale still wasn't as much fun as the great rush of a few years back.
Was in another tesco and there were two guys just taking multiple copies of stuff and checking CeX on their phone.
They had a big bag for life full of xb1 and ps4 stuff.
Luckily they had stayed away from the 'kiddie'Nintendo stuff.

I was hoping to find Galaxy but no luck, if there's any DKR left towards Thursday could you pick me up one? I was helping my sister get stocking fillers. Convinced her to get Epic Mickey for them, there was a few around today but I wanted Mario more, I spent enough this week.

Non retro gets, got Fast Racing Neo and Pikmin 3 for the WiiU and Animal Crossing New Leaf for the 3DS.

December 2nd according to this Gamespot link. Not sure if that's worldwide or what though.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Not retro but I got a Wii U today thanks to a link Man of Cider gave me (thanks again!), game pad is perfect, the console itself has some blemishes. I'd love to put something on it, just to read up on them make sure it won't wreak it, saw a cool NES one. Just hate the black so much but the price was good so I settled.

Yeah gonna pick up a US copy soon. I think it's only like $25/30 here at the moment.

Actually, it works perfectly!
Everything, full colour and smashing.
Thanks again, it was worth the trip down!

As a fellow retro fan you should stick around this forum!

Burzum

Yeah i'l gladly stick around and share my new items.

Picked up Dragon Quest IX & Advance Wars Dual Strike, yesterday during lunch for the princely sum of €1 each.

DQIX is brilliant, as is Dual Strike.
Nice gets for only a euro too!

Andrew76 is an absolute legend, gave me a copy of 3D World (Tesco sale price, ignore the tag), came in the post this morning. Thanks so much, it was so kind of you!
