        Pretty sure no such thing exisits as pal captain commando,moonwhistle said there was in another thread i was reading and i checked saw some VERY pal looking cover art for a jpn game and i was convinced.I was wrong i think moonwhistle may have been talking about the pal snes captain commando?

          Not sure if this really counts, but I got one of them Blaze Dreamcast VGA box things (thanks RetroRevival).

          Looks like these third party ones are better than the official ones, this one has an S-Video and Composite output for non-VGA games, as well as 2 headphones outputs! I believe you can force many non-VGA games into VGA by switching between S-Video and VGA on bootup - Can't do this on the official lead, you gotta do a bit of cable swapping, this lets you do it with a flick of a switch.

          I have this connected to the DVI-I port on my TV, and it rocks, never seen Shenmue look so clean, and the colours are so vibrant! If anything, it's too clean, shows up the jaggies and makes you wonder if the DC anti-alaising was really all that...

          Regardless, the best way to connect up the Dreamcast. Has me really looking forward to the 360 true-VGA hookup.

            i believe official SEGA VGA box does the same...

              Really? Always assumed Sega just made the basic cable, never knew they made a full-on VGA box.

              Shame these all have S-Video and not RGB, though given the amount of titles that seem to dislike RGB, maybe this is better. No VGA passthrough either, and those Performance boxes are impossible to find.

              The boardered atrocity that is PAL VF3tb works on this thing, full screen 60Hz VGA. Would have been a simple job to just add a 50/60Hz menu then, lazy gits.

                Are don't you just love the back streets of the UK, you never quite know if your going to come back after taking a trip down there.

                Any way picked up the following three titles for ?10.85 all complete and in good condition, UK version.

                Virtua Cop (Sega Saturn)
                World of Illusion starring Mickey and Donald (Mega Drive)
                ThunderHawk (Mega CD)

                  Yep I was talking about the Pal Snes version which is pretty rare but is out there. There is no PAL or US Captain Commando on PS1 afaik.

                    I took a picture of my new games. I'm really happy with them. The Nintendo Gamecube games are sealed.

                        That store sounds ace, good prices and a nice selection. Would have quickly snapped up a few bargains. ?25 for the lot you mentioned, plus Firemen, is good.

                        They don't happen to have "Zelda's Adventure" for the CD-i do they (one with an image of a castle with window on the cover)? I've been after a copy for ages. eBay tends to be pricey, unless you buy it direct from Holland sellers (which thanks to Philips being there, seems to have gotten a bigger share of the copies produced).

                          Its a competition only disk, you had to enter into a prize draw to win it. Thats what the japanese letter is to the right, it's the congratulations slip.

                          Not sure if its a game demo or movie clips though, i cant remember.
