Retro console and games thread

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?

I thought MVS was the way to go? that's what I had
 
aes are great but get ready for deep pockets :D

i used to play them every day mate owned a gaming shop . had every game for them we lived on em :D

you can get clean models for about 200 id say the bundle for 400 is a little rich try him at 300 first.then upto 350 if serious.
 
I'm getting the shakes over this Japan AES model...I want to buy it!

Since it's a Japanese model, will I need a different PSU?
Will it plug straight in and work on my HD TV, says it comes with a scart lead?
Are AES games universal?

I'm looking at a MVS convertor, but that's about another £200-£250.
Might also look for a consolised MVS.

I'm trying to justify this as an investment now.

Also a quick question, noticing some people listing stuff as Neo Geo AES 330, is there a difference?

Always wanted one of those! Thought they looked really cool, shame they weren't released here in the UK
 
There are some all in one carts for the neo geo going on eBay.. Not sure how legit they are thou.

I've only ever seen one neo geo home console, some dude at uni was trying to sell it me, I do have lots of the games on neo geo collections.

Is there any good retro shops in Manchester? I'm mainly collecting playstation stuff but do own a snes, n64 and megadrive as well.

Thanks in advance.
 
Trying to sign up to that Neo Geo forum, but didn't get a verification email and site owner isn't responding to my emails...

Still watching a couple of bids on ebay. But also still looking about that £400 bundle :o
Just wanna make sure if I buy a JAP console I can actually play on it without any heavy modification.
 
Another dream!

This time I bought an arcade cabinet, covered in Space Invader art, because I know it had a MVS board inside, which was somehow playing the Terminator 2 lightgun game....
 
Hey all, Just a quick question, couldn't find a solution anywhere online, so I thought I would you clever clogs's... yeah.
Anyway, I've got my old Megadrive outta the loft, and all of my games still work, except the one which I really wanna play: TMNT: Hyperstone Heist. I've tried all the usual tricks, but this one is a bit strange as it will boot to the Konami screen then halt. Has anyone else experienced this on old cartridges for the Megadrive or just me?
 
What's the usual trick? Blowing in to the cart at trying again? Lol

I normally give the contacts a good clean with IPA or contact cleaner; depending on which one comes to hand first.

TMNT: hyper stone is worth a bit from what I can remember, great game :)

Totally off topic, but did you used to play CS on Wireplay? Name looks familiar. :)
 
Got a megadrive and some games on the way as a fun gift for my gf for her bday next week! She had one, like me, growing up and thought it would be a laugh to play a few of the games she loved or thought were too hard back then :D

Lol was it that obvious :D

Well the games i got are the ones she played i never had them but may get some games for myself too in a week or 2 when the dust settles lol

I got Jungle book, Bomberman and Sylvester and tweetie! Lol at the last one, her and her sisters never beat the first level apparently they didnt know how to get up some stairs so the plan is to see if the game is broken or they were being n00bish :P
 
What's a decent price for a Dreamcast these days?

It's one of the few mainstream consoles I've never owned and I'm pretty tempted to pick one up!

Im not sure on the price but grew up playing sonic adventure series on dreamcast and loved it to pieces! I didnt actually have many games other than those on it!
 
20-30 quid will get you a cleanish one. don't go rose tinted on any console though most are very common and very easy to find/get.
