    When you said you were in Limerick i thought Kilkee first, must be lots of arcade and retro hidden away in those seaside towns.
    It is second Limerick though so I'd believe it.
    Was it the place by the caravan sure or the one facing the beach? I liked the Waterfront but its closed 10 years at least (had The Simpson's game).
    There used to be a Pac Man cab (probably not a proper one though, I don't remember it being very colourful) in one of the pubs along Strand Line, I used to play with my sister back maybe '99 / 2000, long gone I suppose.

    The dudes gaff was a good bit away from kilkee.
    I think I bought a juke box too!
    He said he might know of another pin.
    I couldn't possibly say what I paid for it.
    Did a good bit of work on it today and it's playable now. Still needs all the lighting looked at and the animatronics are mostly not working.
    Shaker motors not working with but haven't looked at it yet.

    I took a chance and went to Balbriggan market this morning.
    Nothing of note unfortunately.
    Rather than come home with nothing I picked up a couple of PSP titles, Dirt 2, Crazy Taxi and Tekken, three euro each.
    It was the worst showing of games I've ever seen there.
    Nothing older than a few lousy PS2 games and an Xbox that looks like it was left out in the rain for a few months.

    This is going in Argos for €38.99 at the mo'

    Picked up, if that's the word, Fantasy Zone and Outrun for the 3DS in all their 3D remastered glory.
    Outrun is Outstanding!
    Really really gorgeous.

    My next Want is Virtua Racing in proper 3D, but I'm not holding my breath.
    I wonder though, how difficult it would be, and once they built the engine for the 3DS it'd be a cinch to have Virtua Fighter on there as well.
    Come on Sega/Nintendo, make this happen!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,276 ✭✭✭readyletsgo


    Is Outrun really that good in 3d? How much is it? I have some credit on the eshop I could use.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,630 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    It's only €4.99, I probably would have spent that if it was in 2D!
    But I think it's really well done tbh.
    One change though, no Ferrari badges anywhere, Sega lost the licence a number of years ago :(


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,184 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dr Bob


    Picked up an old Famicom bootleg 4 in 1 cart.
    Why?
    As it has a port of the best damn home version of Tetris ever.
    341820.png
    And a perfect port of Galaga (mickey mouse and ninja 3 are ok)
    ((happydance))


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,014 ✭✭✭✭Corholio


    Nice little addition this one as it doesn't appear very often. Bit of a strange one name wise with this too as this is called 'Joe and Mac 3' and on the title screen it has it's full title as 'Joe and Mac 3: Lost in the Tropics' which is what 'Joe and Mac 2' NTSC version is called. Apparently they counted 'Congo's Caper' as a sequel in Europe but not in the US.

    Short Peace and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle came this morning


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,630 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Happy Tidings,
    Zelda Links Awakening DX, for the GBC, and Firefighter FD18, for the PS2, arrived this morning.
    A good deal at €15 for the two.
    The former is cart only but that's OK, it plays just fine.
    The latter goes for quite a few bob in some places too.

    Well it's been an age since I purchased any gaming bits, but I couldn't pass this up (Thanks mozie81 for the link!)

    NOS IGS PGM kit with Dodonpachi II for $200 :eek:

    BEESTORM_zpso0pirpdh.jpg

    He has multiples if anyone is interested. They're selling really fast though given the cheap price.

    Took a trip out to Dundrum to pick up clothes for work, ended up in HMV rummaging through the sales bin.

    I picked up Soul Calibur V on PS3 for €4. They had Mario Galaxy 2 too. It had 2 discs, but it was pretty badly scratched and in a rental case.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    A few cheap games I got today. Haven't been buying much lately as I'm saving for something muoy especial which I can hopefully get soon!

    EDF is something I've seen about, I own a few other editions but not that one.
    Must check out the local branch.

    I have the first one on the 360, decent bit of budget shooting fun!

    Insect Armageddon isn't by the original developer. It's fun but no where near as fun... or cheap and nasty.
