That is a great little setup

 

[Neil79]

Neil - your rare thing.....wasn't a certain amiga ebay bundle including boxed complete dynablaster was it?

Nope, rarer

It is due today, but as it is Hermes I'm a little concerned. On the topic of the Amiga, you really should join our Commodore Amiga Facebook group, we have nearly 12k members talking about Amiga stuff

 

[ShiWarrior]

I use hermes a lot, never had any problems

I'm trying to remember a game I used to play on the old ZX Spectrum, background story was someone had vanished and you had to track them down through investigation using bulletin boards and webpages (in game, not real ones obviously!). It's really bugging me now, I'm pretty sure the title had a load of numbers in it for some reason but could be wrong! Anyone have any ideas and yes I'm old

 

[ShiWarrior]

nope, doesn't ring any bells with me

Cheers barmy, very kind of you.

On another note, what are some of the must play platformers on the Snes, MD, PS1, GBA, Nes?

 

[kinger8938]

[ShiWarrior]

I don't remember having mine like that
I thought it was 4 discs in the one case

looks good though !

 

[phatboy]

4 disks from what I remember, mine is a dual case with card outer too

 

[ShiWarrior]

Super probotector is brilliant, cant wait to play that one again when I get another snes

 

[kinger8938]

Just one copy! Yep 2 cases but them being identical is odd tbh, and cardboard box outer case thingy!

 

[phatboy]

Super probotector is brilliant, cant wait to play that one again when I get another snes

It's on my hunt down list too. Game was fantastic and soooooo unforgiving

 

[ShiWarrior]

Hope you guys don't mind me asking, but this snes on the bay im hoping to win, ends on a silly time, Monday afternoon during work hours
Im currently winning, but I'd like to know what price you would put on it, so I can bid accordingly

thanks

[phatboy]

Wow that is a fantastic snes package. I would say you are going to be needing to aim towards 200 to be honest to stand a chance. 11 bids already to get to that price

 

[ShiWarrior]

I cant see that worth £200

only a couple of decent titles, DK, starwing and MK , the others are pennies

 

[phatboy]

Maybe a bit high on my part but it would be a collector fight as the console and scope are immaculate and complete. Getting harder to find

apart from the tatty boxes

I hope it doesn't reach £200
