Picked a GameCube and games up from the MM.
All the games are in excellent condition and complete with manuals.
Also purchased an RGB SCART cable from http://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/
The image quality compared to what I remember when I originally had a GC is superb.
Would I get an even better image using a Wii to play GC games?

They're supposed to look pretty good on Wii via a component cable, dunno if you would see much difference with a RGB scart though. Some nice choice titles in that stack too

Happened upon a site the other day that has a bunch of scanned NMS mags from the 90's

Some quality reading there!
Also, Issue 43, pg58, Dragon Punch Power - Mega Man X2
Submitter of this awesome game tip, me (circa Apr-96)

Haha, nice find, I never thought about old magazine scans so just went on a search of my own and couldn't believe I found this one.
My picture is unfortunately the one which was in the centre of the double page so is cut off slightly, of Tails in Michael Jacksons suit from Moonwalker..... 10 years old in 1992.
Wish I still had my Megadrive now

Ha! What was going on in your 10yr old head to come up with Tails/MJ Moonwalker crossover

Too many 1p fizzy cola bottles while playing a combination of Sonic 2 followed by Moonwalker
Man of Honour
Today's car boot was pretty successful, 10p each. All in good condition with manuals.

Is 'The Warriors' any good? I've had a lot of friends tell me to play it but i've not seen the movie. I know it's a R* game so it can't be half bad, right?
Man of Honour
Haven't tried it yet.
Been too busy playing Mario Sunshine
I've read it's a decent game, comes up as a hidden gem on some lists. But for 10p I don't think I can go wrong.

Finished the first Jak and Daxter last week, all 101 power cells.
Can't see me getting 120 Shines in Mario though, I'm up to 27 so far and there have been some hair tearing sections already. Probably a lack of skill is more to blame, but it does get a bit fiddly as well sometimes.

What up there Neil, I can't really tell, something snapped?
But to cheer you up, I shall share my new good fortune.
RPM Control Unit fell off into the motor, damaged the motor and the arms
My small but quality collection of NTSC snes games, after a few more favourites but don't plan of getting too many more. I just picked up Mario kart last week and having a blast on it
Great collection of games there!
How you are playing them? Converter, modded console or an actual NTSC console?
