That looks like my kind of game actually :o
But wouldn't pay £29 for it.

£30-£40 for an Xbox 360 and you wont pay a measly £29 for a brand new game!

Hmm.. I'm not fooling anyone I don't think. :(

One of my MD2 has a sound fault, bit sparse on info on the intraweb. :o


Whoop
 
I don't have an X-Box 360 and for the past year or so the most I've spent on a new game is £20 :p
 
This may sound daft but is there a way I could play retro console thought my LCD monitor I expect there to be a drop in picture seen as they were intended to be used though a TV so I'm not bothered to much about it I just wondered if there's some kinda box I can connect them to which then connects to my monitor or will something like a capture card allowing me to go thought my PC then to my monitor do the trick?

I'm by no means an expert on this but you can use a TV card to get the signal from the consoles onto your screen. I believe some graphics cards have video inputs too. :)

I've got my Gamecube hooked up like that at the moment (via the video in on TV card), agreed not the best picture but handy having the cube in the same room as my PC without having an extra screen.

I didn't think the refresh rate using video in was high enough to run a console? Isn't there too much of a delay response when you try and play? :)

Thought i'd post my only retro console (if it counts) before i put it up on the MM..although i might not as i didnt realise i had such a great selection of games!:

It's been in storage for a while; hence it looks like new! Even still have the original Electronics Boutique Dreamcast bag it came in! :cool: Might try it on the VGA monitor on my LCD before deciding to get rid.

Don’t even know if you tried this, but hopefully you or someone else can help me :D


picked up the action replay for the n64 a couple of month ago because ive read you can unlock extra multi player levels for Goldeneye (cradle and statue)I cant get them to work, the only code I can get working are the full levels like facility :(

So any help would be most welcomed.

"You can activate the Cradle and Statue in Multiplayer with a Gameshark, and they have weapons, ammo and body armor. They were made for Multiplayer, and were going to be in the final game. But, as most of us know, the Cradle can be very slow, so that's probably why it was taken out. As for the Statue, I don't know why. Some spots do glitch up, and turn black though. What I do know, is that instead of these levels could have been replaced by the Caverns, and Egyptian. "

I Haven't tried it yet I was plowing through the Master System games :)

I can plug it in when I get up tomorrow though and if its functional I can see if it will access those levels.

What does the slot on the back of it do...?
