Its a beautiful thing when stuff like this happens
I had the big box version of Driller, actually quite enjoyed it. I seem to recall you died instantly if you went into the wrong screen though... rather annoying.
Will check this week if I still have it at my parents house.
Finished doing the artwork on my SNES games this week.
And a load of new boxes turned up.
Because now I need to tackle my Mega Drive collection.
On a different notes, does anyone read Retro Gamer magazine?
Just looks like it'll be good reading for the train/toilet.

Took the kids over to my folks today and had a quick look through some old bits in my room. Came across -
A few mvs games -
My old d-lite made pistol supergun -
And my baby, one day the wife will let me bring it home -
Couldn't find the keys for it but pretty sure there is a CPS3 setup in there with SF3.
Also found my old 4 slot and 1 slot MVS.

Grats on Ganryu, I know a lot of people go CRAZY over it.
Yeah it's a great side scroller, sure I've got some more full kits somewhere might have to venture into the loft !
This thread makes me feel sad my Mega Drive, Ps One, Gamecube and dreamcast are in the loft.
I went on a spree getting some resi games for gamecube a couple of years ago, was excited to play Resident evil 1 remake, but had a lot of motion blur on my lcd tv, odd as resi 4 was fine.
It kind of put me off collecting if I cannot play them.
However was at a market yesterday and seen Adidas Power Soccer for PSone made me want to start collecting again.

Aliens is more sort after and cost £100. I often pay less than half that for many PCBs.
Hah, I have fond memories of it, from kick off if you ran and timed it right and took a shot, the ball would bounce just in front of the keeper then go over his head!
That is super, gronbek.
Well since CRT TV's go for nothing these days, you could probably pick up a nice Bang & Olufsen.
Otherwise as others have said, something more "mainstream" like a Trinitron, those things seem to live forever. You could probably use an old CRT PC monitor and some adapters, as an alternative.
Remember B&O didn't make the CRT tube it was a just a brought in tech from an aperture grille manufacturer ( I can't remember who they used).
The only thing which may set them above others is some of the later models did have a lot of useful picture setting options that the more mainstream TVs don't tend to have.
Actual picture quality isn't any better than a good Sony though.
If money is no option and you aren't an apple/B&O looks above performance fanboy, the best CRT you can buy is a Sony Broadcast CRT Monitor. They are bulky, casing won't look that nice, but the picture is the best. Expect to pay a lot, if you can find one.

Hhhhgnnnnnn Egret 2! I'd love one of those if i had the space. Wrong orientation though with that Screen
hahahaha. I'd have Battle Garregga in that... oh the Dream!This Ikea cube became spare this week and i've been looking for something to sit the PVM on. Fits perfect. I've got some casters sitting around somewhere so i'm gonna fix them to the bottom so i can wheel it about when i need to put it away. Will add another shelf on the bottom so i can have 2 consoles set up at once and attach a 4 plug power cord.
