Can you add a banana for scale?

CosmicSmash

I know, it's an elephants leg umbrella stand. To hold your umbrella while you're playing your cab.

Haha no but now that you mention it do you have an ebay link?

eddhorse

Maybe it was a bit ambiguous.

Its an ATI graphics card.

Got it on adverts, small piece of bubble wrap and that brown tape.
Worst packaging ever.

Im interested in this but knowledge is zero. Research needed.

Almost!

Took the plunge and ordered a very big Grail GET for me. Probably the most I'll ever pay for a single game but something I've been pining after for a long time.

Are you selling your copy at last Retr0?

My recent PSP purchase along with the MH games for it, the doubles are from an ebay lot that had Portable 3rd, which CeX didn't have. Nice little machine although I must see if there's a grip out there for it, I can't use the Vita or 3DS XL without theirs now I must admit. Also got a couple of memory cards for it and tested out that CFW, easiest 'hack' ever that, so will run the games from memory card instead.

Thank god, I was wondering "What's a fleshlight got to do with arcade games?"

You probably never want to know the truth behind that question.

A hack of Time Crisis?
Where's the cover pedal?
You do what??

Ah now! I'm not that rich.

Not videogame related but I found a Star Trek Type II Phaser in a comic book store a few days ago for a decent price.

There's something... not quite right about it though. Here's an unboxing video for anybody that's interested!

nice one vestyboy !

got these sent to me , not easy to find msx magz these days. And the Speed King for my Amiga

Myrddin

Picked up a US Xbox from Mitch a while back. Only got around to it now to see if it worked etc. It needed a proper clean up, and I had to make up a power lead for a US plug that I had spare. It powered up fine, but the drive kept ejecting. A quick disassembly & some clear grease on the drive rails & cogs and it's back working fine. Great Success!

Just sold the Retr0 hating Megadrive in a stick, with added SDcardness, and picked up the ultra cheap Pokemon White 2 in Argos for 10.99, happy days.

The stick hadn't been used in sometime, the limitations of a MD on a chip is just too much to ignore.
The Nomad and region free MD plus the Everdrive kinda have it all covered anyhow.

Nice freebie I picked up this evening

Now I need a composite scart cable and an sd2iec for it, anyone ever used a sd2iec?

CiDeRmAn

My gods, an Australian C64!
G'day mate!
Throw another... shrimp on the barbie!

Lucky fecker nabbing that for free! And it's the better looking model too.

My first games machine that was. Remember getting a Quickshot joystick from QTH many moons ago for it, then a microswitch version later on - anything to shave a few tenths off that Track & Field 100m record. Fun times.

CathalDublin

Better looking model
Was my first computer too, My bro had a ZX Spectrum 48k rubber keybard which I played a bit when I was very young but the C64 was my proper first computer.
So many games I wanna play again
power drift
outrun
rick dangerous
bomjack2
commando
bluemax
micro prose soccer
winter games
summer games
skate or die
spy hunter
metro cross
bionic commando
Uridium
leaderboard golf just for nostalgic reasons "looks like you hit a tree jim"

and the list goes on
Wouldn't mind an old game of jezzball for the 386 running windows 95 come to think of it!

Andrew76

Aye, there's a mountain of great games for it: Turrican, Last Ninja, Bruce Lee, Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands, Pitstop 2, Target Renegade & Platoon (awesome music both of them had)...

Two of my personal favourites were Buggy Boy and Usagi Yojimbo - you can't get cooler than a samurai rabbit that can decapitate ninjas! :pac:

TechnoFreek

Buggy Boy was awesome. Put plenty of hours into that game.

Turrican 2 and Flimbo's Quest were two other personal faves.

CathalDublin

I forgot about buggy boy, that sound when you collect things, quality

Myrddin

Buggy Boy was the first C64 game I put on my bartop when I was setting up C64 with HS. I think I actually might have the cassette still!

Had to YT it to remember the sound. Forgot about the football too! Such a great game. :cool:

On an unrelated note, every time I've thought about joining the PS4 club I've always said, not til The Last Guardian is released or at least confirmed. Well, after yesterday's news I couldn't resist any longer. :P

Seemed an ok deal in Argos so picked it up earlier. Thanks to EnterNow and ultimate_condom for the helpful advice, cheers lads.
