I think to earn some credentials back round here, you're gonna need to do a full play through of SoR2 for us. Start to finish, no cheats, just an old school gamer & a brawler.

Ah come on, two or three hours & you'll be done. You know you want to...

How about a play through of Batman Returns then?
Would that save my high paying, esteemed position here at A&R Towers??

Myrddin

SoR 2. Start to finish, at a time of your choosing

STG.Otaku

I think he should play Plumbers Don't Wear Ties on his 3DO in his dark room surrounded by €19 worth of crap, a can of Lilt and a Simon & Garfunkel LP.

Think of it as Monty Brewster's great grandfather being locked in a cupboard and forced to smoke a packet of cigars.

Two megaman games. Tron Bonne cost about 140 euros which was extremely cheap. Won in an auction from Australia and probably only got it so cheap because the only sniper was a cheap wad that upped the bid by a euro.

Jack burton

Nice get, they have really gone up in price the last while

Retr0gamer

The price for NTSC Tron Bonne is just insane, you can get earthbound with change to spare for what it normally goes for. The legends games got largely ignored on release, Legends was basically a OoT clone that came out 6 months before zelda so nobody knew what to think of it and Legends 2 and Tron Bonne are better than any zelda game but were ignored due to the PS2 release. Irs only now that people are talking about how good they are and Tron Bonne has picked up a following because of marvel vs Capcom 2. I never picked up these games because the Press at the time dismissed them.

Don't make me go and live on the PlayStation forum, its full of weirdos and fanboys
And the Xbox forum is as bad!

Please, I promise to keep my crap game habit a secret and continue it in the shadows, only announcing new purchases when they are suitable.
Please
Can I stay?
Please?

you could always redeem yourself by puling a few strings to get the Sega forum re-opened.

Delighted you got Tron Bonne, you were chasing that one for a while. I remember not to long ago you were saying that you were outbid on a auction for the same. It's great to get a game you're really after, and it probably cost you far less than original one you missed out on.

Yeah it was doing my head it but ended up getting it for well below what I was willing to spend in the end

MrVestek

I thought I had posted this already:



There she is in all her glory. My original PS1 was actually the first revision after this with serial port but without proper RCA out.

Gave it away years ago. I was too generous with consoles back then.

So... what's the going rate for a PSOne with matching controllers these days?

No idea really, not much I'd imagine. Nice get! above, the only thing with first model PS1's is the the laser mech, & not just the diode, but the plastic actually wearing out on the mech I believe.

CosmicSmash

I picked up a later model original Playstaion last week myself, got it from ebay through pm. Worked out at under 25 with delivery,

Optimus Prime

Ive two at home i cant give away! Dunno what model they are though.

Link cable!

I was organizing my controllers a couple of weeks ago to make them a bit easier to access and it turns out I've about 20 or so Playstation controllers. How that happened I do not know.

No idea what to do with them all.

Optimus Prime

ah i had to clean out the "games room" upstairs so trying to get rid of loads of stuff, we had the new kid 3 weeks ago and its going to be her room eventually. Killing me that i have to pack up all my stuff and paint the room pink!

Attic conversion is definitely on the cards soon..

CosmicSmash

The one I got was a Jap 60 hz one, a lad had it on AO, didn't shift on there so he moved it onto Ebay. It came with some bizzare looking game and one controller. This is the game, haven't got a clue what's going on, some type of board/mini game.

The bottom picture is the map from the game, think it may be sitting in the backlog for a while though.

Tomo.Murphy

I had a chipped PS1 when I was a kid, but that crapped out before I got the PS2. My cousin was clearing out his stuff a few months ago and gave me a boxed one. No cables and controllers unfortunately, but it works with the PS2 stuff anyway and I'm fairly certain he got his chipped the same time I did.

Donatron

I got a chipped ps1 only a week ago. I had one before but the laser was dodgy on it. Tried replacing laser with one from another ps1 but couldn't get it running smoothly.
Can finally play my ntsc games now. The ps1 is also nice and quiet when compared with the fat ps2!

Fantastic news!

In an effort to redeem myself I ventured into CEX again.
This time I picked up the following
Never Dead
Shadows of the Damned
Yakuza Dead Souls
and...
Resistance 2 (I'm sorry)

Star Lord

Congratulations Keith!!!

Also sending my congratulations Keith and Ladykeithgeo!
I never had a pink room or had to paint a room pink lol but the attic conversion might work out having more space?

CiDeRmAn

I wonder what will happen to this community as peeps get older, start catching up with me!
Will folk drift away I wonder?

Thanks a lot, Yeh my attic is huge so it will be a great sized room when I get it done. Hoping to get it done sooner rather than later I've far too much stuff and not enough room to store it.

I'm already planning a pink "sugar rush" cab for the baby.. No fear of me drifting away anyways . Just need the attic converted now and I'll be back on track. Plus I'm pretty old already haha this is my third (and final) kid.

It's interesting how long most of the regulars still post away in here. Out of all the forums I've been interested in over the years, it definitely has had the longest running community I think.

I think it's down to the charming nature of one of the moderators, and his adorable love of games that suck like a Dyson.....

Logie seems like a sound chap alright. :pac:

Even if folks do move on there'll always be fresh blood I would imagine, circle of life and all that.

Wouldn't imagine it, even though most of ye are on my FB, it's just not the same as posting here.

Perhaps all our Player 2's will be posting here in time..

Another package from our friendly Kazakhstani PCB tinkerer arrived at my desk this morning.
A second 3DO FZ1 USB host controller. Well it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have two of them :0)

Atavan-Halen

I've really been wanting to play this even though it's supposedly very mediocre. The 360 version is also more more expensive for whatever reason.

CiDeRmAn

Is there a minigame in there involving the ape getting to fling poo?

Firefox11

So received some nice stuff in the post this morning.

Spectrum needs a keyboard fix but is fine after that but it's time for some VR Racing for now.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

I finally got my Mackenzie from Touch Detective nendoroid, she's mega cute and came with lots of extra pieces.
I'll give her and Fungi/Nameko offerings until TD3 Does Funghi Dream Of Bananas? comes out in the west.

CiDeRmAn

So, I'm all Wolfenstein'd up now, have it for the PS4.
Part of me wants to play Wolfenstein 3D again though, I think I have the SNES version somewhere...

Just a thought, wouldn't a double pack of Wolfenstein and Doom/2/Final be cool on the 3DS?

Retr0gamer

Without mouse controls? Feck that. You can already get that from steam!

BTW the new wolfenstein is surprisingly great. Wish Wolf 2009 was still on steam, I want to try it out but got removed since Id went to Bethesda

Star Lord

Haven't played the new one, but thought the 2009 one sounded awful, despite some relatively interesting ideas in its development.

2001s Return to Castle Wolfenstein was great though.

CiDeRmAn

The 09 game is pretty decent.
The hub concept is interesting and the game is plenty of fun, I know I enjoyed the hell out of it.
Its a damn sight better than the previous title I played on the Xbox.
Though that game, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, is supposed to be far far better on the PC.

Steve X2

I still play return to castle wolfenstein multiplayer the odd time with the brother. It's still a lot of fun and obviously you can run it at max settings on a modern computer
There's a registry edit to get it to run at high screen resolutions.

Local multiplayer also works over the internet using Hamachi without issue.

Retr0gamer

I really liked Return to Castle Wolfenstein on the PC up until the point when the mecha Nazis arrived. They were just unfair and you had to cheese your way through the game from then on.

CosmicSmash

A few bits arrived over the last few weeks and Hyrule Warriors turned up from Game, it's different to say the least. A bald man shall have a warm neck this winter, that's all I know.

CiDeRmAn

How much did Cave Story set you back?
I think it's going to be one of the rare and expensive ones tbh

It cost about 50 with delivery, a bit more than I liked but it's a UK copy, I would agree with you that it may be harder to find in the future, I don't think it had great sales figures when it released if I remember correctly.
