I've been playing Gran Turismo 4. I'm not sure why it gets all the love, it's quite a frustrating game!

Just took delivery of this, thanks to Deep here on the forum

Here is a question....I used to have a magedrive game - can you name it? The following clues are all I have:

I think it may have been a jap import
I am sure it had a yellow cover on the box
The main charater may have used a yoyo
The soundtrack was very "classic japanese music"
I was certain it was called something like "Mr Komatsu"

Unleash the detectives, I've googled lots and all I have found is a bunch of diggers!

Err... Cool Spot?

CapitalOne · 3 Jun 2017 at 17:48

Nope, the yoyo is maybe a red herring! It was basically a wonderboy clone

Going out on a really long limb here...

Finally had a price drop on Ebay for a game I've been wanting for quite some time.. I shall post when it arrives

Clue: Is on PS1, you move yourself and the world.

Nope, 2nd and last clue, ball.

It's nothing major. But it is great fun.

Bingo!

Sad times, my new RGB cable for my Mega Drive doesn't output green so looks like it has to go back. It does however look and sound so much clearer than the RF cable! In the mean time, has anyone got any game recommendations for it as I seem to have lost half my games over the years.

Double Dragon
Golen Axe
Lion King
Sonic
Micro Machines

I bought this cable to work with my NES, doesent work, not compatible?

Kulaworld, fantastic game and was missed by a lot of people. I remember the first time I played the demo. So much fun.

I luckily have a black label promo copy still. Need to buy a PS1 to play it again.

Haha, yes, I'd forgotten about that one. I used to love that!

Digital X · 7 Jun 2017 at 17:37

Kula world arrived today, and had a sheet of cheats in too! Shall enjoy this.

Mine is black label, but not promo.

Won't they be tied to a Steam account?

no idea lol

What do you think about my other post, regarding the NES cable ?

MW2 was definitely a Steam title. You could probably activate them to your account via Steam support. You'd probably have to upload the product key and they deactivate from the original account I think.

Maybe the the cable is wired to the wrong connections inside the SCART socket to suit the NES's audio and/or video output?

Can't you connect RCA phono from NES to RCA phono on TV? OR maybe use a RCA to RCA cable to one of those SCART blocks with the yellow, red, white RCA sockets on them.
