Finished following up on something and decided to look for games while I was still out. Here's what I ended up with.

- Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (complete) for Sega Genesis (upgrade)
- TimeSplitters: Future Perfect (complete) for PlayStation 2
- Zone of the Enders (complete w/ Metal Gear Solid 2 demo) for PlayStation 2
- Jupiter Strike (complete) for PlayStation
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii (complete) for Wii

Truth be told, I have no idea if Juniper Strike is even good. According to the pictures on the back of it's long box (my first long box PS1 game, btw), it seems to resemble Star Fox a bit (even in graphics if you compare it to the SNES game :lol: ). I haven't tried any of these games out (though, for Sonic 2, I don't really need to), but I will in a few minutes.

So I went to this event in Deurne to some Retro gaming center something and for exact 210 euro I got this:

Posted Image
Blue Nintendo 3DS XL (NOT released here and brand new) + Nintendo World baggy for 140 euro
Purple GameCube 100% complete . for 30 euro
Starfox 100% complete in the Huge box for 30 euro
N64 Transfer pak 100% complete for 5 euro
and I got 5 random gameboy games for 5 euro, I only use them for dust-covers now.


I CANCELLED my Pre-order for the Wiiu Mario Maker because I saw something way more important then that on an auction. It will be here in a week!

As someone who has tasted the multiplayer for all three games, I can confirm that it is a lot of fun. Future Perfect especially as the amount of default and unlockable characters is insane. So yeah I recommend all three games in the series... for multiplayer (including vs. bots).

If you're looking for a great single player experience, I can't vouch for 2 or FP (haven't played their story modes yet), but leave the first game alone. I have gone through that game's "story mode" (if that's what you wish to call it) and was not a fan at all. Free Radical could have done better and I hope they have for the sequels. Gone are the days where I can just invite friends over to my home and playing against bots is only fun for so long.

Kind words thank you! It's being picked up this week by my freight company, so until then I don't want to disclose too much info on it, just because :pottymouth: happens. But, i've been into kiosk's lately, and as I was hunting I just ran into this one, I couldn't say no for the price.

sold one of the 3 original xboxs I had plus 8 games which were all "classics" branded games. Nothing that important among them but all goes towards something better.

Skint at the moment so the only way I can fund more stuff is to sell of doubles etc.

I've sold 2 spares ASCII controllers couple weeks ago I had to a man looking for controllers for his grand-son. The kid was there and I wish you guys could see the smile on his face & the bright shine in his eyes. that was :cussfit: priceless. we had a little chat and the kid all he wanted to do was play Goldeneye 007 and how good the game was and similar it was to the movie and all. I couldnt agree more and wish him a good play. I kept his contact in case I had spare games or controllers and he'd be willing to buy.

Brought myself an early birthday present with the money I made from the xbox and a couple of other things. After 20 years I finally own one :dance: It has a broken wire in the power supply which sucks, anyone know if the NES power supply is the same?

I read online that the PAL version does work but the NTSC version doesnt even fit. I checked my NES and the pin does fit but I was too scared to turn in on in case I blow something, dont want to wait another 20 years to replace it :yeah:

@ Action i will look into those games although I already have Robocop V Terminator on the Megadrive so probably skip that one.
I'm up for any recommendations anyone has although not really into RPG's.

ps SNES games are really expensive.

@action - Looks like you're already starting your SNES collection right with Street Fighter II. :yeah: Just thought I'd give a few game suggestions to help you out. Keep in mind that I live in the United States, so prices and availability may vary.

- Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World (or buy 'em separate if you want)
- Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
- Gradius 3
- Mega Man X
- The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
- Ms. Pac-Man (comes with shiny new graphics, more mazes and a simultaneous 2 player mode)
- Space Megaforce (if the price for it over there isn't as ridiculous as it is here)
- Star Fox
- Anything with the Rareware logo on it.

That's only out of the games I own. When it comes to good games, you could throw the entire SNES library in a bag and pull one out at random. Chances are you'll grab something fantastic.

Oh and Robocop vs. The Terminator is different from it's Genesis counterpart. From what I hear, however, Genesis owners got the better game.

Today, I found... well let me just list it before I get ahead of myself.

- The Art of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood book
- Interact's Arcade Shark fight stick for Nintendo 64

A fight stick for the Nintendo 64... these exist!? At the fatal risk of angering my dear friends here at N64Forever.com, the N64 has got to be one of the oddest choices to make a fight stick for. And yet, there it was just sitting on one of the back shelves in a thrift store I visited today. At first, I thought it was some cheap plug and play system that just used the N64 colors for buttons and the sort, but nope! It's real and you know what? It's actually a well-made fight stick. The only big problem I have with it is that the Z button is colored red while the start button is some gray bar near the bottom. It's really confusing and I wish Interact didn't swap those two colors around like that.

Posted Image

This is a photo of the stick I found online in case someone thinks this is some super late April Fools prank. The fight stick is actually bigger than the system it's for and weighs a heck of a lot more too. I know what I'm using against intruders from now on. :lol:

There's a member here that needs to see the insides of that arcade stick for his own N64 arcade stick mod he's working on if you wanna help him out!

@Rocky - Sorry, but I just don't feel comfortable opening up something like this. I'm not exactly what you would call a "tool man" and have been known to be extremely clumsy. I'm afraid that, if I open it up, the fight stick will end up not working properly when I put it back together.

Besides, even if I wasn't such a klutz, I have no way to post up the pictures. I use an outdated smart phone to browse the web and photo sharing sites seem to make the web browser crash very quickly. I'm not even sure you can upload photos directly from your phone without a computer and usb cord. It's why I haven't posted any photos of my finds I have personally taken this entire year.

I wish the user the very best with his/her arcade stick mod, but I cannot help them. I apologize once again.

Time for a "little" update. Scored pretty good over the last week-and-an-half.

So here we go.

Last week my old neighbour (and fellow collector) sold me his old Dreamcast, because he needed some cash. This was the last console on my wishlist, so I jumped on it. Ended up paying him €55 for the lot. I'll keep 4 out of 6 games (Star Wars and Snow Surfers will be sold). The keyboard, guns and 3rd party controller will be sold as well. I'll use that money for a new videocable for it, since this one seems to be near-dead.

Posted Image



This week I picked up this bundle of joy for €20. A Wii with two very good games. The only thing I'm going to keep is the Donkey Kong game, since I already own the rest.

Posted Image


Yesterday I bought this new game. I've seen it for a long time in the bargain bin for only €6 and decided to get it now. I'm not that much of a Call of Duty fan, but Black Ops II is said to be the best one around. That, and I like the use of the WiiU Gamepad for minimaps etc.

Posted Image


And finally the flea market finds from today. It kinda hurt to hear a Gameboy Micro just sold when you get to a booth, and later to see some SNES games go for pretty cheap, but I still got a decent haul I think.

Breakdown:
Ratatoui + Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games + empty DS case €2
Silent Hill Demo, Rosco McQueen (no manual), Rally Cross 2, Driver 2 & GTA 2 (disk only) €4
Mario Power Tennis + Need for Speed Hot Pursuit €5
Sonic X Vol 2 DVD €0,75
Combalt Blue DS Lite, More Touchmaster (game only) & Plants vs Zombies (game only) €5
Wii Sports €1
Lady Sia (CIB), Mega Man Battle Network 5 Team Colonel & Team Protoman €5
1994 Mario toy + vintage Batman Badge (probably from the 70's) €0,50
ICO Limited Edition (missing 2 of the 4 cards), Twisted metal and Gran Turismo 5 Academy Edition (sealed) €5
