    It's an alright game but I much prefer the NES version. Vampire Killer is just a bit too weird and unfocused for me. Nice find all the same, it's quite hard to come by.
    No , it was the best and only castlevania game ever made. Period :D
    Joking aside, having played and finished a few versions, I do think the MSX is much better, but admittedly it's said with huge amount of nostalgia and MSX bias.

    Funny thing, the first time I saw the NES version (it was in an arcade type machine with a load of NES games) in the waiting room at the Roscoff Ferry port, i thought it was a cheap knock-off :)

    Here's the machine itself, I got this a while back but forgot to post it.

    This arrived yesterday,

    Basically, a straight lift from the cart music, and that's no bad thing, but the cool jazzy sounds of the Super Mario 3D World OST was nice to hear.
    Still, it'll complement this thing I downloaded the other day!

    Jesus I havent picked up anything in ages ,I've no time with college and work .To be honest I'm thinking of clearing out everything bar the nes/meg/atari and then putting them up in the attic for the kids in a few years (keeping the Arcade cab though, although might trade the unconverted one for something),and concentrate on study and actually getting code finished .(my demo for' Cash Quest #0:Bank balance rising' still has a ton of dialog left to be added before I can put it up for download and I've NO FECKIN TIME!)
    Oh before I forget theres a bric a brac shop opened up under the bridge in talbot st , they've a decent enough pong clone boxed , looking for 25 though.

    The mother just picked me up a CIB silver PS2 with games, controllers and memory cards in a second hand shop for €40. Apparently it's in great condition.

    Handy enough as I was on the lookout for a second one :)

    Oh you got Etrian Odyssey Untold. I hope that means there'll be another convert to the secret best RPG series ever club.

    Unfortunately you only get to pick 1 of the games. I didn't go for etrian because it's the NTSC version and I don't have an NTSC 3DS :(

    Ah I thought it was the whole lot. Sure 999 is just as good.

    I want to frame my stamps probably need something to protect them though. I didn't get any sleeve with mine, I dunno maybe it was because it was online

    You could drop them into a comic bag, then frame them like that.

    Or if you are Myrddin, lick the backs of them all and just lash them on an envelope :pac:

    Am I the only one that bought to use as postage stamps :o

    Edit: On the plus side if I sell in the marketplace you might get a free sonic stamp... :D

    I mainly do oils and acrylics, although I have been known to do posters from time to time. It hard competing against a lot of frames coming in from China though, mine are all hand crafted with love and care. I have this one hanging on the kitchen wall.

    A few bits from since the last time, I picked up Arkanoid II and Kiki Kaikai Advance. Very happy to get the gba game, it's far from a great game but it doesn't pop up to often for what it cost me. Big fan of the arcade and sfc games, still looking for the first one.

    That Arkanoid II Get, most amazing ever.....
    As Sera might say, SO JELLY
    But you're going to have to buy this now

    And, just to dumb things down a bit, I got this to add to my personal pile of tat,

    Are you asking me?

    If so then the answer is neither.
    It's a Taito plug'n play with ten games on board, principally Space Invaders, Qix and Bubble Bobble.
    Unfortunately the games have some dodgy sound here and there, like the music in Bubble Bobble is a bit off.
    I'm wondering if it can be hacked...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,725 ✭✭✭The Last Bandit


    Might be possible to squeeze a raspberry pi in there with a bit of work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,599 ✭✭✭BGOllie


    I meant the arkanoid controler

    I've come to the conclusion that I'll probably never be able to live the dream and buy a Time Crisis cabinet.

    So I just bought these :D

    latest addition to my MSX collection : some penguin love...
    %24_1.JPG
    Played this for hours and hours when I was a kid.

    Also swapped an old guitar I never used for a boxed, chip-modded xbox with about 10 games. Going to convert this into a mame box this weekend ... and build a cabinet around it.
