Is that not on capcom classics discs?

If you like shoot em ups (there's no such things as shmups lol) rez is interesting, but I wouldn't recommend a second hand trance vibrator thou.. lol

Its also available on xbox live on a hd remix.

I have Rez on my Dreamcast and 360. :)
I'm also not getting "there is no such thing as shmups". :confused: Is that an obvious joke that I'm just not getting? :p

shmups, from what I believe/understand is quote a modern day term. There's a few people that hate the term, and voice their opinion of it on youtube :)

Ah the minority then, as the majority simply refer to them as shmups (talking about the enthusiasts of the genre). :) I just thought it was some joke that went "swoosh" right over me. :p
 
Don't think its as rare as the PAL version but it was so cheap who cares :)

Played this so much in the local arcade as a kid, guess it kept me thin by stopping me spending the pocket money on chocolate.
 
My only problem is although I have a switchless mod I have such a clean / non yellowed snes I don't want to cut the cart slot, I got a replacement grey panel to cut but didn't realise even the main top half of the snes needs cut not just the grey section.

So simply playing final fight with the top half of the snes off instead :)
 
Not sure if this has been posted before, but it's the best collection of SNES games/consoles I've seen for awhile.

Is that Yoshi's Island SNES console available in the UK? Does anyone have one?
 
Thought I'd chime in with my 'collection':

That's a dreamcast with only a few games left, a GameBoy Micro with Pokémon Ruby, SupermonkeyBall something and a Spyro game, and a PS2 with lots of nothing-special games.

I got Spirit of Speed today, it looks so oldfashioned, but has a certain charm about it:

That is just incredible!! So much money and gaming greatness / nostalgia right there
 
i won this on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181153214420?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I thought it was cheap so had a little bid,i already have one but i wanted the joypad and the games.The discription is classic

"PLAYSTATION 1 AND 6 GAMES, THIS WAS NOT USED THAT OFTEN, IT WAS PUT IN THE CUPBOARD AND FORGOT ABOUT, I CARNT GET IT TO COME ON MY TELE BUT SOMEONE SAYS ITS WITH THE DIGITAL SWITCH OVER , AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO WORK IT. THE POWER COMES ON BUT I CAN NOT SAY 100% THAT IT WILL COME ON, THERE IS 5 GAMES RAYMAN,PAC-MAN,CROC,BUST A MOVE, SPYROZ AND DANCE STAGE EUROMIX, THEY ARE NOT ORIGINAL BOX AS THEY CRACKED SO I JUST PUT THEM IN SOME PLASTIC CASES"

I got it today and it seems like the digital switch over hasn't effected me :P
 
I've just found the rest of my Dreamcast collection- Le Mans 24h, Headhunter and Jet Set Radio. Le Mans looks incredible for a Dreamcast game and plays nearly like a modern racing game too... I recommended it if anyone is thinking if getting a DC...
