Post everytime you get ANYTHING retro. We want to know (^v^)

Some of you will know how hard this is to acquire... came over from Japan from an English guy who had it there.

Yakumo, have you tried Pitagraph or Arcana Strikes yet? Gamefaqs says they are both action... if they are, perhaps they are "import friendly"?

Edit: literally just found out that Pitagraph is a "fortune teller" simulation? Still, hopefully Arcana Strikes is a dungeon crawler like the SNES game. I'm a sucker for dungeon crawlers!

Well, you know never to believe Game Faqs Pitagraph is indeed a fortune teller sim and a very confusing one at that. Arcana Strikes had about an hours worth of playing before. Seems to be a Card related RPG in a dungeon It has some pretty nice magic effects too.

Hehe aint that the truth,

That mat is a right bast to find (^_^) took me a while to track one down.

Shame the game is a super dumbed down version of ddr but hey some of the songs are nice.

Thanks Yakumo. I might give Arcana Strikes a miss then... not fond of card games (RPG or otherwise) at all to be honest.

Well that's me done. A few weeks of Ebaying/forum buying and I finally (17 years late) got myself a PC Engine & games!

No rare titles, but I tried to buy the games which I enjoyed the most back in the day.

Got lots of advice from peeps here on NTSC and enjoyed every last buying moment!

Anyone know if that's nation-wide? Think I'll spend my lunch-hour tomorrow finding out

I finally gave Donkey Kong (GB) a go and am loving it! It really is Mario vs. Donkey Kong 0.1. Graphics are perfectly functional and have a real nintendo charm to 'em.

Also started Links Awakening DX which looks like it's gonna be classic Zelda. One reservation is that I did grind to a halt with 'Ages' and I usally complete a Zelda game once i get stuck into it.

They should keep me occupied on the ferry to work until Nintendogs comes out in Sept.

Picked up Breath Of Fire III PS1 in Crime Converters yesterday afternoon for ?3. It is in super condition, and worth a few quid from what I gather. Absolutely awful boxart, mind.

[Duddyroar]

Breath of Fire III? Worth a few quid?

There's copies everywhere matey!

[Big Seany]

Don't steal my thunder, Satan boy! It is worth more than three pounds, any road. Besides which if it is as good as the SNES efforts and the fourth installment, then I have also purchased a nice little RPG. So THERE.

Worth noting I also picked up Capcom Fighting Jam in there for a fiver. Retro at heart, I guess. Flawed, but better than SVC Chaos and enjoyable toplay. Some of the sprites in it are shocking, tho. Demitri's effort gave me flashbacks to the time I first selected Morrigan in Capcom vs SNK (shudders).

[wheelaa]

Nice scores Capcom_suicide, gotts love the pce.

Ha Ha! yeah right

[Duddyroar]

Sean - Sorry mate. Enjoy the game. For ?3 it's worth every penny. I remember getting it for xmas all those years ago and playing it for hours, much to the anger of my parents.

Capcom Fighting Jam isn't as bad as people make out. Granted, Capcom's 2D fighter output has dried right up over the past few years but it's still good, and for a fiver it's a bargain.

[Big Seany]

Going to gamestation at lunchtime - see if there are any retro bargainz

[andrewfee]

Just got my near-mint saturn with a virtually mint silvergun. No marks on the disc, slight marks on the case. (which can just be swapped anyway) Has the spine / registration cards too.

?140 including Royal Mail Special Delivery and stepdown.

Spent about an hour with it now any loving it. I probably overpaid, not really knowing much about Saturns/prices, but it definitely feels like it was worth it.

I was planning on picking up an arcade stick, or finding an adapter to use my NeoGeo Stick 2, but the saturn pad is much better than I was expecting, I think I'll stick with it.

Don't have a digital camera, so I'll have to post one of the pics the seller sent me.
