Retro console and games thread

Here is something in my collection that I am quite proud of and from researching around Google and the lack of information, this Woolworths Batman Forever Limited Mega Drive version is quite rare. I have owned this since the game came out 1995, and everything is mint and un-used.

There is the video, diary and game and a Batman sticker included in the set. Here is a picture of the set:

I'm proud of this in my collection and condition for 20 years old considering the flimsy box, same the game ain't that great lol

Okay so this isn't everything but I've got some spare stuff after getting duplicates and also getting the 32X for my MD, so I have the following up for grabs:

Manx TT Superbike PAL for Sega Saturn - Good condition, fully boxed with manual.

2 copies of Sega Rally Championship PAL for Sega Saturn - One is the paper box copy which is well worn and the other is a plastic box version which is in good shape.

High quality (handmade) Sega MegaDrive MK1 RGB SCART cable with 3.5mm audio jack for connecting to the headphone socket. Fantastic cable, stellar quality. Only reason I don't need this is because the 32X takes a Model 2 wire (which I bought from the same place; Retro Computer Shack)

Let me know if any of you are interested in this and I can update it with some other bits and bobs too. Thought I'd let you guys have first pick before it went up on the bay.

Good stuff! Don't suppose you know anything about modded Xboxes do you? I have a v1.6 which I modded myself which is fine but I recently got an NTSC v1.0 unit from a mate so I could play JSRF and Panzer Dragoon Orta in 480p without the video corruption and most of my games are just booting to blank screens. Some work but most don't :confused: Any ideas?

Sure thing, here it is.

Oh and I just won Quake, Exhumed, Duke Nukem 3D and NBA Jab T.E for Saturn all for under 20 quid! Not too shabby :cool:

hmm weird about the Xbox mate, is the NTSC one chipped too? i take it the games are USA format versions?

quick heads up, be careful selling outside of the MM, Mods are pretty hot on it and it may earn you a ban :(

giving away is fine from what i know but anything making money is a no no (inc. price checks as i got burnt by that one)

Fantastic condition and oviously really well looked after. My 6 year old PS3 is breathing a sigh of relief as it can pass the batton of backwards compatibility to the PS2.

Got hooked trying to best my time on Trial Mountain (GT3) last night. Two hours later and I still wasn't happy :o.

All part of the fun though :D

Phatboy - You must have a pretty big collection of consoles / games now?

On your Spreadsheet do you just record what you have for each console or is there more to it? It sounds like a pretty decent way to track what you have, and havn't got.

Thanks for the heads up, I've edited the post accordingly. I guess it's so the forum isn't liable. If so, if anyone does want to contact me about those bits, you can do so privately. If this is still a problem mods then I'll remove this message.

As for the Xbox, the v1.6 was done via a soft mod and is PAL, the v1.0 NTSC machine isn't chipped but as it's old enough the BIOS was reflashed to an Xecuter one which does unlocked HDDs etc. Of all the games on the hard disk some work but most don't in 480p. Forcing 480i fixes everything however but that's hardly ideal. Might just do a complete HDD rebuild as the current config on there is from around 2003 as thats when my mate last updated it. Any good guides for doing a fresh install?
 
I'm annoyed! :(

Got my PCMCIA+4GB CF for more games and emulated software but now my Amiga 1200 crawls, it's impossible to use. It's mounted correctly, but I don't know what else to do

This Amiga is turning out to be a very bad purchase
 
I really have been spending too much recently so I should stop! But I just got an Action Replay Plus 4M cart for my Saturn to play imports as well as a modchip :D Just need to get myself a decent RGB SCART switcher then I need to stop buying stuff :p
 
rich it wont stop :p

one of reasons i sold off all my collection as you will just purchase more and more until your missus gets out the nob cutting scissors :D .

i do yearn for a aes though :p
 
Anyone seen a snes game like this? i have tried google and found nothing, tried to see if ebay has any for sale and nothing

can not seem to find any details, did not know they made carts with more than one game on

 
Got Batman Vengeance through the post today only for the Jiffy bag that it was in to do nothing when the postie put it through the letter box and the corner of the case smashed when it hit the floor. Thing was in pristine condition to. Oh well I guess a Gamecube case is easily replaced.
