Would have been 2009 when I last drank in there, good late night spot, smoking ban never bothered them either once it hit last orders, you wouldn’t have even known it was a CRT, it was flipped around so the screen was facing the back wall, so it’s a big pile of ash now with a giant CRT in the middle ��

Anyone near Mayo might be wise to put an offer in on this, an AV selector, looks pretty good.

Can you opt out after the first 5 months or are you tied in for a year ?

You can just opt out - there's no contract and after the five months they charge you €20 per quarter.

Great projects though. Also note the very nice looking taito cab in the background, definitely more there than advertised.

Plus there's the mint punisher, cadillacs and nemesis boards inside them!

haha yeah ,but the taito cab isn't one of the listed !! and I think someone might have jumped on these very quickly without asking some questions.

Not quite as exciting as cabs, but a deal nonetheless.

Set of official Megadrive infa red wireless controllers for €30. They usually go for at least twice that.

Ah I've wanted a pair of those for ages now....I'm broke though from buying so much crap this month already. This was the first time I've ever gotten paid monthly....and it was a 5 week month.

o1s1n · 10-09-2019 9:58am

Yeah I've been after a pair myself for years but after getting an 8bitdo receiver/controller they're totally redundant. I'd say that's been bringing the price down a bit alright.

Anyone see the Afterburner Climax on adverts? 1,800, so not cheap...however still seems like a bit of a deal for such a fancy machine.

I've scanned the control panel and bezel from the orange cabinets and the marquee from the black cabinet with the yellow buttons.

If anyone wants these scans to stitch them together, PM me.

Did you actually get these cabinets? Or just scanned some other way?

If you did pick them up id be very curious to hear more about them

All too big for your average home gamer unfortunately

Altho we dont know what time crises (sic) is

o1s1n · 12-09-2019 2:23pm

They're some of the best prices I've ever seen on Adverts.

I'd definitely take a punt on Time Existential Crisis if I had the room!

Wondering what's a good price for a brand new, unopened snes mini. Got two as a gift that Christmas and it's just gathering dust. Still with the receipt and all.

Will stick it up for sale if I can get a fair idea on price

I have one of the orange ones, so I scanned everything I could. I've done this with several cabinets. The scans are on an old laptop, and I plan to get them online.

Some of it is on DropBox. Side art from Suzuka 8 Hours anybody?

There's a retro game sale on the UK PS store, and that usually means the Irish one also.

Nice list of games here:
