Cool. Well up to you if you would like to mate. We better not discuss it on thread to much to stick to rules. So drop me a pm :)

Some Sega Game Gear love. These are actually my brothers and we picked these up back in the day when we used to live in South East Asia :)

Sadly we don't have the white Game Gear and matching TV tuner for that case. I remember seeing the set in a shop and my bro needed a case for his GG so the shop owner sold us the white case on its own. Apparently only 10k were made and the White GG set was only available to Sega employees and partners. There is one of eBay for around £800 at the moment, it looks awesome!

Quick question guys. Is there a remake of the Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time on the Gamecube or the Wii? I'm not on about the Collectors Edition with these games but a remake with tarted up graphics?

Thanks.

Just looked at the wiki, apparently it was on the Wii's virtual console although not tarted up (cant confirm tho as never owned one). There is the 3DS version of course but i'm guessing you don't own one.

there's a port (not too noticably better) that came free with wind waker versions on the gamecube (playable on wii)

Sold mine on ebay a while back (wind waker + OoT discs) for around 30-40 quid so have a look there mate.

Another addition to my Dreamcast collection, if you like Japanese DC stuff check out DreamcastGAGA, the prices are good and the condition of the products are immaculate!

I love Garou, I'd love to get a consolised Neo Geo MVS and the original arcade cart at some stage when finances allow:)

Loved the game but hated the DC version because the sound effects streamed off the disc so you got sound lag. Don't know why some Neogeo ports on the DC were like that.
 
Havn't posted in here for a while but thought I would add my most recent purchases:

(Damn PS4 trying to sneak into the shot :o)

All £1 each (interestingly the Doom3 steel book was cheaper than the normal copy....)

And a game that I didn't realise was released on the Xbox:

Again for £1.

Plays quite well considering the underlying specs of the Xbox itself. Can't aim for toffee mind as I am so used to playing it on the PC.

I heard about the issues but its fine when I'm playing it, I only got around to it the other night but my DC is now permanently hooked up next to the PS3 :)

I tempted to look at getting an Omega MVS console next year so maybe when my pockets are full I'll get the MVS cart :cool:
 
hi all, I ordered a Saturn and a PS1 (not the small one, the chunky original) over Christmas, anyone else get anything?

Has anyone ever ordered anything from eBay USA and do you know if you need to pay any import tax on used old consoles?

tax isn't based on what's inside, its down to the fact that if they can be bothered to put tax on it or not really

it is normally over a certain price, but sometimes they don't tax items

oh right, I think it may be over a certain price as i'm browsing the popular rainforest site and Ebay.com for NES consoles (that's number 1 on my hitlist) and some estimate tax in the listing and I think it is on the more expensive ones.
 
Think I need to do something about these reoccurring dreams.
Last night I dreamt I was on my way to a shop to pick up a Neo Geo, I was so happy to finally get 1 since I already had a Mega Drive and Snes hooked up at home (in the dream).

It's the same damn dream everytime, I'm on my way to a 2nd hand game shop to pick up a console of some sort or games, normally Neo Geo related. Last time I was in a massive shop full of Master System games, looking for Neo Geo cartridges.

Incredibly geeky dreams, but better then the usual nightmares.

Any dream interrupters in the house?

Yes, It would seem that you really want a ...........Neo Geo!

Sorry just couldnt resist :D
 
Can we link ebay?

Anyway, I found a -

"BOXED JAPANESE NEO GEO AES CONSOLE + 7 GAMES + MEMORY CARD - GOOD CONDITION" for £400

I take it I should aim for a AES, because apprently you can get a converter to use MVS games.

Does this sound like a good deal?

Games are.

FATAL FURY 1
FATAL FURY 2
FATAL FURY SPECIAL
SAMURAI SHOWDOWN
SAMURAI SHOWDOWN 2
SIDEKICKS SOCCER 2
KING OF FIGHTERS 94

Says it comes with a scart lead, but how will that look like on my HD TV?
Also do I have to worry about power supplies?
