After more ps2 hidden gems! Or ones I missed out on. Not hidden but is Onimusha worth a look?

Don't know if the have already been mentioned but the 2 maximo games are really good.

Finally tried my Dreamcast using VGA out, simply beautiful.

Todays pickup, imgur wouldn't show it sorry, hope it's OK like that. Pandemonium was only a tenner in CEX!

Pandemonium was a game I played first time around. I seem to remember it being fairly challenging back then, so I'd imagine I'd find it rock hard nowadays.

Great game though.

Yeah it was quite difficult, I only mentioned it in the shop and luckily guy said he had in the back. I've got Putty Squad to pick up on the SNES, guy at a retro shop is holding it for me.

That is one creepy McDonald's game.... did not enjoy!

Mick & Mack: Global Gladiators however, that is an awesome one to pick up and play.

 

[barmyllama]

Didn't Treasure make the McDonald's game?

Just looked it up and they did.

Sold eBay listings suggest it's around the £50-60 price range.

It is painful to go back after playing over VGA? What games did you try it out with? Test Drive le Mans in particular looks great.

Need to buy some cartridge dust covers for my nes games

im looking for some see through ones, any ideas? im looking on the bay, but unsure which one it is, id like to cover the whole cartridge (loose cart) for displaying on my shelves to protect the whole cart from dust etc

Picked up Putty Squad from best Deals, Descent 2 for PS1, Akuji the Heartless for PS1, Wipeout Fusion for PS2. Still cannot find Jade Cocoon in any shop

No bugger buying it, I assume!

Got Spyro the dragon for PS1 on the way, £25 and black label, not too bad a price..

It was actually Sega's fastest selling console. Although total sales before it was discontinued weren't great

But the damage done by the 32X, the Saturn loosing against the Playstation and Sony hyping the PS2 DVD capabilities all contributed.

EA refused to support the Dreamcast as well, so third party support was thin on the ground, compared to the competition.

I still have mine and there were some fantastic games and apart from EA there was still a lot of good third party support.
