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

I had the 16:4 screen type but the sad thing is that it only stretches the image so everything looks squashed. Mine was also region free. Played everything I threw at it. You can see many images of it on my site.

Some pick up's this past month!

'The Space Adventure' ? That's the best name they could think of? Hehehe...

[Kerberus]

Space Adventure Cobra was the original manga name.
Cobra II: Densetsu no Otoko on the PC-Engine.
But who cares about the name!??

It's got nudity in it!!

[Dandy_sephy]

I had no idea the franchise had a game at all!

[Kerberus]

Score!

Many of you know by now my penchant for obscure pirated Famicarts.
Cost me 70 ? but well worth it imo
I mean who doesn't like to remember being young in the 80?s - playing such classics as Super Wonderfull Mario, Super mario 6, Super Mario 9 and the unforgetable Prince Banana!




Now i got 2x Ninja Gaiden III and Turtles II all professionally pirated (you can hardly notice) here shown with my old ones.

I like things as they were intended, because i'm a picky git. So I bought a couple of plain red Seimitsu joystick ball tops, as the horrible metallic pink meshball ones that the cab came with just looked totally out of place to me. Standard spec rules!

[Kieran76]

Kerberus, what is actually on those carts?

Ikobo, you are seriously making me want to move house asap. I have promised myself a cab as soon as I move house, I live in a basement/garden flat so getting cab downstairs and into flat could be tricky. So jealous.

Just get yourself a Jaleco Pony Mk 2 or 3.

It was no walk in the park to get it in to my first floor flat mate, cab had to be dismantled to get it through the door and up a very narrow staircase. Best gaming thing i've ever bought though. I had all but stopped playing games, now i'm playing as much as I ever did. I love the quick fix nature of it.

It's not just the size though, I want a games room. I even have got posters still in their tubes ready to be framed. I do keep showing our lass pictures of cabs and asking if she thinks they look cool and she just says " They look ugly to me".

Did you see that minty Egret 3 on Arcade Otaku? It has some colours in it's artwork and CP that might appeal to the ladies............

(And it's just a cracking looking thing anyway!)

Wish mine was minty.. Alas! When I move out I'll probably trade down, don't need tri synch.

[Kieran76]

This one?

Looks a beast to me and have no idea how I could get it into my flat. I keep torturing myself on that forum by looking at all the cabs for sale.

[Colin]

Yeah, that's the one, I like it. (Not as much as mine though ) Speedlolita could tell you how difficult it is to shift.

I'm still getting to grips with it all, but tri-sync was no benefit to me as anything I want to play runs on the dual as far as I can tell.
