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

He's not immune to the humour, he does regularly joke about looking Chinese in his comedy act... such as when he was describing playing Virtua Tennis on the Wii, he thought was a fat Michael Chang...

Although, ironically, he is immune to being humorous.

I lol'd at that..

@ importaku, nice stuff, I've only ever watched one episode of Game Center CX, it was the Takeshi's Challenge episode, great fun to watch though, need to see if theres any other episodes that have been subbed when I get chance.

A couple of items turned up today, 32X copies of Parasquad aka Motherbase/Zaxxon and the extremely ****ty Cyber Brawl. Also got a brand new Sega Mouse, looking forward to playing Switch & Shining Force CD with that.

I love the Japanese cover to Cyber Brawl

You've got to love the random coloured shapes style on that box. It just screams early 90's, where the hangover of 80's obsession with sharp shapes and bold colours. I remember my bedroom wallpaper had a mix of black, red and grey acute triangles and razor thin rectangles all over the shop. ^_^

Yeah it's a great cover, I prefer it to the one we got with Cosmic Carnage, although that ones not too bad as far as PAL/US stuff goes.

Heh, heh, yeah it reminds me of the stuff on the intro to Saved by the Bell for some reason, which was around that sort of time period.

Horses for course I guess (hmm, that echoes another thread heh)... my brother and I find him hilarious, whereas we find someone like Peter Kay completely unfunny.

I would have had something new to show but I just put my tracking number in and got this little baby - 'Awaiting presentation to customs commissioner' bugger !!!!

That's pretty much what I think as well. I saw Michael McIntyre last year in Aberdeen and he was quality. On the other hand I haven't seen Peter Kay live but I've seen all his DVD's and for the best part they are pretty awful.

To get back onto topic that Megadrive mouse box also reminds me of Saved By The Bell! I seem to remember the Art Alive! packaging looking kinda similar as well.

Ｗｈａｔ　ｔｈｅ　ｈｅｌｌ　ｉｓ　Ｍｅｔａｌ　Ｃｏｍｂａｔ？ Was that released under a different name in Japan? Can't for the life of me think of what it could be which is odd because I was a massive SFC fan back in the day.

Anyway, some Meag CD games this week all mint and complete with spines.

Well, the first game "Battle Clash" was "Space Bazooka" in Japan.

The sequal, Falcon's Revenge, was never released in Japan as the Super Scope did poorly there (according to this site: http://hg101.kontek.net/battleclash/battleclash.htm )

The PAL english version is a Australian exclusive.

Are there any advantages to the sega classic cd over the cartridge versions?
