picked up a few ps1 games the day, also seen a few mega drives in a local 2nd hand shop one with a mega cd 2 with it and a few snes for £10 put no power cables so will have to think about it no yellowing though on them, games i picked up were:

Street fighter alpha 2 £1
destruction derby 50p
rayman 70p
die hard trilogy 70p
duke nukem time to kill £1
Ridge racer £1
 
Went into a game store today does really old consoles and games but on the shelf I found an amiga :D:D stood out to me!, asked the guy how much but he couldn't sell it to me till tuesday when the owner is in as there was no price.

Hopefully get a good deal wont pay anymore than £35!
 
I seen people purchase it for £15 probably ex delivery on completed listings, watched it being played through on Youtube, looks fairly decent.
 
I got myself an amiga 500 for £35 apparently it's clean and comes with all the bits, I'll be looking at it next week! :D

Battery in my DKC 3 decided to die :(.

Replaced it with a socket for easy changeover next time. Saw others doing it, so thought I'd do it to mine instead of getting a tabbed battery.

what do you mean exactly by "replaced it with a socket" please?
 
Normally a tabbed cr2032 is soldered there. I removed it and soldered a cr2032 socket/holder in it's place instead. So I can just pop a standard cr2032 in the holder (tabbed ones are more expensive) and if it needs to be changed again, it's just a quick swap of the battery.
