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

Bottom two were my test of yet another seemingly french (but japan based) import place, who's site immediately went down after ordering, and who went incredibly quiet so I considered it test failed.

But then they turned up so...yay!

Top two were from someone I'd tried out before - french again, this time in france and surprising cheap for europe. As with the previous time all turned out great.

Damn glad to get a Guru Logic Champ in hand finally.

how much did you pay for it? Should be about 1000 yen I'd say for a mint one however maybe about 1500.

it was some time ago but I think I paid less than 1000 yen for complete one inc. obi and etc. just took me many hours of walk to find one in minty condition...

Ooh, Tychom hasAero Blaster. That was a great game in it's day. I gave my copy a whizz the other week. Still looks pretty nice even now but seemed so much harder than I remember. One of the few Mega Drive games I've seen that actually loads (De-crunches the data) Probably due to the expensive cost of ROM back then.

Real Bout Special arrived yesterday for the Saturn. What a superb game.

[eastyy]

Yeh i bought real bout collection pretty good i wonder how it compares to the neo geo versions though

[Duddyroar]

Aero Blasters is an awesome game, one of my all-time favourite Megadrive shooters. Great game.

[Big Seany]

Lacks a bit graphically, loading times are a pain in one's arse, but other than pretty decent.

Am waiting on a copy of Wild Ambition on the PS1 at the moment. Christ knows what that is like!!

Wild Ambition

Seany: Wild Ambition is CRAP. Waste of time...

We should try and organize a beat em up tourney thing...seems like most people play fighters on here.

Anything been done before?

Ignore me...

tum de tum....

If you're going to get an MVS, make sure you get hold of the hacked bios too, then you can enable home version options etc. And a jukebox.

[wheelaa]

A large box waiting for me when I got home, full of marty goodness.

So, piccie 1, some Marty quality, with the nifty Libble Rabble controller. Raiden is new sealed.
Piccie 2, some Marty not quite as quality, puyo puyo and brain are new sealed.
Piccie 3, freebies (although only the train games and atelier 2 have the games, rest are just boxes and instructions (where they're not jewel case instructions))

Hey Wheela impressions on these versions pls.

As there are none, anywhere :/

Image fight too, great game, one of the best arcade conversions ever on PC Engine too.

Wild Ambition arrived yesterday. Cracking intro and the overall presentation is superb. Graphically the game sucks, but it is reasonably playable in a sub-Rival Schools kinda way. The backgrounds are probably the worst I have ever seen in a fighter. Although the characters are 3d polygon based, the backdrops are flat 2D and it all just looks real strange. But despite this I like it - it makes me smile for some reason. And Geese is at his evil best here, too.

Yesterday I also went in Gamestation and picked up Rakuga Kids for the N64 (a boxed and mint example - how much is this worth? Not been one on ebay for ages) as well as Bubble Bobble featuring Rainbow Islands for the Saturn. I have now listed my PS1 version on ebay, as it regularly fetches around ?30!!! It is great having the Saturn version, cos I can force 60hz mode, plus it seems a little quicker and smoother than the PS version, although maybe that is just me.

Worth noting they are doing MD and MS games for buy one, get one free. Phasing out retro by the looks of it.
