Wow that's a quality find well done! Did the game boy player have the cd too?

Yeah mate came with the cd aswell , so I was well pleased with what was added to the collection this week

 

[Rebel=UK=]

Couldn't let these get binned at work so picked them up, struggled to get the last guardian one in the car. If anyone wants the final fantasy one it's free if you want to collect it from south shields .

More done

Bit more done. Edge trim sorted bezel sorted and also starched the hd at the back and I've fully configured the hyperspin system.







Next up is to get a coin button and to fit the back panel and cut out the slots for the power cables and add a piano hinge.

I built my prototype at the weekend out of cardboard. Going for a full two player 8 button config on an old 24" DELL monitor.

It's going to be powered by a Pi3.

How you getting on?

Bought Contra on NES from a chap in Salt Late City.
Thought I'd get the 'proper' one with the Rambo style characters.
A short, but fun game .

Looking good now, that edging really finishes it off. How well did it stick down?

Lies. No one ever 'fully' configures it, endless tweaking to be done.

No.

I've got a chipped PS2 so I can play games from any region.

One thing that always bugged me about Parasite Eve is how come we never officially got the first game here but the second game got an official release?

 

[kinger8938]

I remember selling resident evil 3 as a kid and then a bit later I wanted it again so went in to I think EB games at the time and asked if they had it and the guy behind the counter recommended parasite eve 2 instead, I think it had just come out!

It was so good at the time, still remember the cutscene near the start where a woman transforms into a monster in the diner

Wierd, that scene has always stuck with me!
Great game, Resident Evil with psychic powers. Never managed to beat it though, pretty sure I was stuck on the final boss.

 

[kinger8938]

On several discs if I remember? At some point you are at some motel or something in the desert and have to fight that far monster with guns in its mouth! This could just be my memory going a bit mental but I think that's right

Nice pickup from a local charity shop. Not bad for £6.50

Lucked in with the steel box. Its worth a few squid.
