They are rare over here, but they were popular in Hong Kong as I remember you can get pirate games for them back then very easily because of it. I remember playing bomberman on it too.

How did you manage to come by one of those then?

A trip over there? Or a trip to the "bay"?

A thing of...well ugliness! but damn it was a great console, had the best version of need for speed ever. Pity the conversion of Doom was a joke, everyone was waiting for it since the 3do release...such disapointment

Yeah definitley, driving the black Lambo on (i think) the last map, there was a little bump in the road near the end, my m8 and me used to try and get the highest top speed followed by longest jump................ahhh the memories

Equinox (unboxed)

Ahhh one the Snes's finest moments, the soundtrack in this game was a masterpiece imho (Tim Follin/Software Creations at their best)
also Plok was another fave of theirs, damn fustrating in places, but soo much fun and again top soundtrack.

Picked up a Dreamcast with 1 controller for £14.99 yesterday with Sonic Adventure 1+2 for £2.99

. Does anyone know where I can pick up the broadband adapter?

Ahh! Sonic on DC!

I loved the "follow me" (Escape from the city) song

hehe

The 2 adventure games are the only Sonic titles I enjoyed, I think the megadrive ones are crap tbh.

Pn a side note, as anyone got a NES Floppy Disc Drive? My cousin had one in Hong Kong, you can get games on it. There were LOADS of games on it.....I remember playing the original Zelda on it and it was on 2 discs.

What about the SNES Floppy Disk drive? My mates uncle from Hong Kong used to visit and bring it with him - he had loads of games all saved on hard drive and could modify them and implement cheats etc - it was really really cool

Japan got all the best stuff, I wish I grew up there. Trying to make up for it now by learning the language. But it'll never be the same, I've missed the Retro Japanese Culture

Not yet, but a Famicom and the FDS have been on my buy list for a good 4 years. I ought to get around to actually splashing the cash!
