    Definitely have a Super Pang I fixed in the pile at home must dig it out see if it still works.

    Pretty addictive game and some decent console ports as well

    In terms of sounds from the arcade, second only to "Hadoken" is the famous pang "pop"

    Pang is a great game, love it

    There’s one in my pile I got off Mitch. It doesn’t work though. It’s a super pang so I’ll have a go at fixing it. Thanks for the heads up though !
    I’ve fixed a couple of super pang bootlegs and it’s a simple board iirc.
    Bad Ram in 1 and bad roms in the other

    I’ve a pang3 cps1 which is a pretty good game too

    I completely stopped buying PCBs due to quite a few failures I've had recently. The combination of the mad prices and boards getting older and older means a lot are turning into expensive time bombs.

    The sound going in Metal Black recently hit me particularly bad. Fecking loved that game!

    In an ideal world I'd be trying to fix them but time always seems to be an issue.

    Just bought a little Casio TV, going to try matching it with a RPi0 and figure a controller out...
    Might be fun.

    Been after a good one of these for years, the first computer I ever used at school some 35 years ago :)

    I've the Spectrum up and running.
    Kerbdog installed a new motherboard, bringing it from 16 to 48k and the videomod as well.
    Installed a new keyboard membrane this evening too.
    Then, popped on the back the SD card loader, with a built in Kempston joystick port.
    Lastly, loaded an SD card with .tap goodies.
    And it works like a dream!

    I must try to find a decent archive of homebrew and hacks for the Spectrum, lots out there apparently and some are pretty cool.

    I've got some more scart cables and adapters, bizarre buying them because I never thought I would run out of the buggers!
    But, since having the now modded 7800, 2600 and Spectrum all outputting composite (sorry Retr0) I have to put my remaining spare Bandridge Scart Switcher into action, and the cables are needed!
    Kerb is giving me a sweet 21" trini too, to hook them into, so they'll look their best!

    Supposed to be studying with a day off, then this arrived in the post, perfect timing!

    I grabbed an Air Buster in a raid before but could never get it going, 99% a write-off, so been scouring high and low to get a replacement. Not easy!!!

    I love this game, probably my favourite shoot em up (ikaruga close second). Great music, great replayability, "famous" among shooters for the 2nd level air duct stuff. Very pleased :)!

    Had a go at my one today. It was completely dead. So de-suicided it and miraculously I didn’t screw it up! (First time trying that ) Turned it on and it worked ! with a slight graphics issue on characters and the word super on the title screen when it zooms in. Like the main character is 4 heads instead of having a body etc.

    I couldn’t believe it when it powered on , it was dead before hand.

    It's a sweet feeling alright, like a necromancer bringing someone back from the dead :p

    Great to see new games for old consoles. Mages looks great.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,625 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Great laugh here with Micro Mages, pure delight!
    Also, a good reason to remember to read your instruction book!
    The four player is a riot!
    Played on the Retron N together with the Four Score Adaptor and an array of controllers.

    Picked up a soldering iron and flux core solder earlier, finally going to learn this stuff to resurrect some arcade boards (hopefully!) :)
