My Master System 2, will run off my Mega Drive 1 power supply quite happily.

I've no idea how similar the MS1 and MS2 power supplies are though, so that may be useless information for you.

It would probably have been fine really but given the age I checked the bottom of the console.

9v 850mA for the Maaster Sytem
10v 1.2A for the Megadrive

I cooked my Disk Doctor drive a few years back overvolting the shoddy regulators they used

We need to organise a KP reunion, it's been too long

Im sorry but I cant remember how much. It was from a UK seller and yes it is the Australian PAL version. I think it was around £25 I got it for

Wow good price

Hopefully I can pick a copy up for a similar price but I won't hold my breath lol

Keep in mind though that it came with no manual or box, just the cart

I'm just after the cart really, I don't have the room for boxes anyway which is a shame

It might be worth picking up a copy of this months Retro Gamer magazine. It features an article on N64 collecting and a brief interview with someone who owns every single game ever releaed including 64DD!!

I've been collecting PAL N64 games for a while and have quite a nice collection but there still some games that i'd love to have that have eluded me due to price; Snowboard Kids 2 being the best example

Cheers for the heads up on this guys. Got a copy today and it's a good read. Loving the N64 article.

Very jealous of that bloke now.

I just got myself a gamecube with the gameboy player addon. I'm having a look at some of the famiclones out there but I'm not sure if thats cheating

.

I'm so glad my monitor has composite and component inputs!

I need to look into the Gamecube catalogue. Owning a Wii I feel I am missing out on some great games. Luigi's Mansion being one I've always wanted to play

My last two N64 games for this spending spree came in today.

Banjo is in very good nick apart from a bit of scuffing. Almost weeping when I saw how good Majora's Mask was though. other than a tiny crease on the manual, it looks like it's barely been used. I've even been given the original receipt.

jrwagh333 · 10 Mar 2011 at 18:40

Original receipt! How much did the seller pay for it new?

£52.48 in March 2001 from Woolworths.

Yeah, and to think how much people complain about the price of new games now.

Indeed! I remember Virtua Racing on the Mega Drive which would have set you back around £70 in 1994.

Your only cheating your self get the original hardware you can't beat it, these nes n megadrive clones are emulated.

Can't remember how much I paid for Lylat Wars with rumble pak upon release. It crippled my teenage bank balance though...
I loved it but god damn it was short. Even going for the medals and alternate routes still kept it an easy playthrough.

It's crazy how much we used to pay actually... :|
