hahahaha oh dear... This arrived yesterday!



Im gonna learn Piano on the NES now

If you're serious about learning the piano do what I did. Get yourself a kick ass midi keyboard and a copy of Saturn Music school 1 or 2. It's really well put together in the method of teaching.

Just to keep the context there, ive quoted my message earlier in my reply, so no-one thinks weve gone too far off topic!

Yeah i am pretty serious. Ive been a self taught guitarist & bassist for 7-8 years now and always fancied being able to play the Keyboard. So I thought, why not combine my love for gaming with it and ill advance alot quicker.

Guitar Hero in my honest opinion can be much harder than real guitar. Ive often found myself trying to play to the rhythm of the actual songs instead of the on screen rhythm, playing notes that are non existant on GH (but ones im familar with in the songs) and alsorts of other random mess ups while playing.

I actually gave up Guitar Hero a while back so I was no longer neglecticing a real instrument. Who else is worried about the future of music?

Ill be sure to look into the Saturn titles. The Miracle Piano is a Midi keyboard so I should be fine using it. As youre the JP Saturn man Yakumo, how rare are these titles and what would I expect to pay for them?

Can't believe I found a Captain Commando cart in the wild. In Australia. For only $10 AUD.

I played through it tonight, it is a pretty solid game auctually.

[Duddyroar]

Nice find! That is super rare!

[Skull Commander]

Captain Commando is ace (well the arcade one at least). Never played the Snes version but since it's like Final Fight there is no reason why it shouldn't be good.

I was obsessed with that game as a kid. I remember playing it in an arcade but didn't remember the name of it. Many years later I figured out what it was going only on the memory of "mummy commando and baby commando!"

[KusoGaki]

I think they removed a few things from the snes version.
Haven't played it for a while so can't remember exactly, but i do remember they removed a mech on the first stage u can get in.

Sorry, no photos. But I just got a pretty decent copy of vandal hearts for £5 today, as well as harvest moon back to nature for £2

Telegames had a shop in Peteborough in the early 90s, was my first proper exposure to import gaming! I remember buying New Zealand Story for the MD there and a convertor to play it on my pal machine and trying out Super Ghouls and Ghosts on the Super Famicom.

Telegames now are not the same company they used to be, although the same poor service remains. They shut down thier warehouse in Leicester (?) a few years ago and moved all the stock to a warehouse Cheddington. It's a different guy that runs it and I think as the warhouse is really cheap or even free all the stock is there on consignment. THis company is/was looking to buy all old closeout stock and sit on it hoping the value rises like the retro stock Telegames have.

Telegames, the only reason you'd use them was becuase you dont know anybody else, dont want to use ebay or import. They are the worst retro gaming company I've ever dealt with.

Some excellent condition PS1 games. They cost me next to nothing as well, $170 AUD for the lot including the complete Killer Instinct.

Saturn Music Shcool 1 and 2 aren't that expensive. Probably about 20 pounds with midi to saturn box (see my site under hardawre for details). While these titles aren't that rare they are hard to find in shops. Actually, I'm currently bidding on a Saturn game set on Yahoo Auctions that includes Saturn Music School. I won't need it since I already own it so I'll be selling it on if I win the auction. Would you be intrested in it?

Never played the Saturn Music School games but weren't they by the same people who did O.TO.I.RE on Dreamcast, that was a pretty decent title if you could get hold of the midi cable.

I love the way they sell stuff that's "new but loose". New Mike Hunt.
