Browsing CEX and I wanted a horror fix so I picked up Resi 7 and Dead Space 2 & 3 (Dead Space 1 from Adverts)

Not even sure if I'll get through them before the end of Xmas but they're there now if I want to.

He's still replying to your messages so I wouldn't call it a lost cause yet. Maybe he's just an idiot.
I'm optimistic you'll get it

Yeah that reads more like ineptitude rather than him being malicious. I'd say you may still get it.

Hi Guys



Still waiting to hear back from him.....Will give him till after Christmas, if nothing. I will email the police in England....

Chase him for a partial. It doesn't power up, he stated it did. The fact you can probably fix the damage that's done to it is beside the point, as far as you're concerned it's not as described

What a dickhead.

Are those emails or Gumtree chats? Because if they are emails then his home address is *cough* accessible

Was going through some carts and found a PGM 'Dodonpachi II' :eek:

Completely forgot I picked up a kit a couple of years back. I'd stuck The Gladiator in the PGM Mobo and stored the 'Pachi cart away, completely forgetting about it.

Nice find and thanks for reminding me. These were the kits that came from yaton on ebay, he was listing them for weeks

That was it alright! I'd never played it until yesterday :eek:

It gets a lot of flack but it's a fun game. I see there's a new revision ROM you can pick up on ebay for fairly cheap which seems to enhance it a bit.

You can fix 72 pin connectors by just bending each pin back out. Dont necessarily need to get a new one.

It's an OK price. Fairly standard. You'd get one cheaper, but some other folks have paid more.

Handy trick, if you want to exclude Snes and NES mini consoles from your each searches, just tag -mini onto the end of your search.

The Last Bandit

If its a PAL console then I wouldn't bother tbh.

Oh Smyths in Navan have a couple of SNES minis in stock, at least they did last night. Yer man says the website stock is not accurate so worth ringing them.

Just bought myself another wemo wireless switch. One step closer to 'Alexa, turn on the arcade machines..'

I wouldnt have one of those listening devices in my house!
My mate assures me they are fine but he got a bit nervous when i started shouting about isis etc etc
He's now on a watch list

Got a few more NES games over the last while. The Simpsons game isn't great but the others are good fun. Have only played Blades of Steel single player so far, it's meant to be a great 2 player game.

Realised that I don't really care about boxed games with manuals. Happy enough with just carts once they work and the label is in good condition. Could have saved some € in hindsight. Think I'll start getting some PAL B carts, so I've disabled the lockout chip on my NES.

Just won another copy of Death and Return of Superman for the mega drive.

Already arranged with the seller for payment when I'm back from my honeymoon and have a few quid. Now just need to buy back Mega Man, the Wily wars and I'll he happy

Aside from the Switch I got from my lovely and better half over Xmas, the only proper retro thing I got this week was a little Pixel-Pal Mario. I didn't know it lit up!







Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas!

The only videogame I got this Christmas.

My sister, the ultimate troll, even put a copy of Jack Nicklaus' Power Challenge inside of it.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Nothing retro here, I got a very cool frog lamp.
Hoping to get some games in the sales for PS4. I won a digital copy of 2064: Read Only Memories through The Gay Gamers blog too which was fantastic.
Edit : ordered a copy of Blue Reflection, treat yo self

Nothing retro here either but my copy of bloodborne will be going unplayed for a while. Cut up my left thumb trying to open a fancy bottle of whiskey.
My own fault but you live and learn I suppose

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

I just realized I forgot to post this, it's both retro and Christmasy.
I got it the week before Christmas, I haven't got out the Saturn yet I was too busy.

Firefox11

We were told not to post pictures of the front before christmas day. Got my crash 2018 annual.

Probably for the best.
If the Blood Starved Beast got a whiff of that wound, you'd be cream crackered!
