DAYTOOOOOOOOOOOOOONA! Slowly rebuilding my collection up with games I actually play for hours upon end.
Despite some negativity towards this (and loads of positive) I love the DC Version.
I know it can feel twitchy, but, once you grasp that, its a beautiful arcade racer. I think so anyway!

Just picked up a mint Keyboard Mania minus the box for a very nice price. I used to pretty good at playing the keyboard so I hope I can get in to this game without too much trouble.

Oh man, very jealous! Would totally love a go on that. The PS2 Bemani stuff is some of my favourite gaming.

Needs to be played with the wheel. I remember reading an interview saying it was designed with wheel in mind which is why it's so twitchy with the pad.

I found it twitchy with the wheel too IIRC.

I'll try that, thanks teddy Its just nice to play a racing game that isn't all HD & Shiny!
I think the depth of Daytona is perfect for me. Wheel change, colour, manual or automatic! lol.
Joking aside, I bought PGR3 On Release with the 360, and loved it dearly, but, I have more desire to play dreamcast arcade stuff

The XBLA Daytona is really nice, do you have that?

[ShadowDancer]

I don't have an xbox anymore....

sorry about the delay :-)

it was around a tenner, but the frame rate issues kill it unfortunately which is a shame, its all over the place, also the resolution is off too so all the games look a bit wrong. It is a well made clone, the shoulder buttons are much better than the official gbasp, but the d pad is crap beyond belief on it, it impossible to get a diagonal.

Looks like there is a better version of this called the gamebox advance too, has a micro sd slot in the case to load roms off.

How much was that?

Would be nice to have a collection of all GBA games on one machine, how bad are the framerate issues? Could you put up a video mate?

Got a Roland MT-32 for around ?35 which was bargainous, using with dosbox and a USB-midi adaptor for now unless I actually dip in to pure dos gaming.

To be fair the MT-32 emulation is really nice these days but who can resist new kit with lights that flash.

[speedlolita]

Now you just need a Sharp X68000 and..

Awesome get, I wouldn't say no to ?35!

[Baseley09]

Well funny that been having nightmares trying to get it to work with Win68khighspeed I've given up now, dosbox is pumping fine.

The XBLA Daytona is really nice, do you have that?

Also on PSN for PS3, best home port of Daytona USA in my eyes, although the DC version looks better & has some great new courses. Mermaid Lake.

No posts in this thread for over a week?! It's my civil duty to post some new wears

Picked up the following yesterday.

Tatsujin, Moonwalker and Star Cruiser for the Mega Drive
Berserk for the Dreamcast
Super R-Type for the Super Famicom

[nakamura]

Moonwalker is great fun! Is R-Type any good?

[Yakumo]

Yep, Moonwalker is pretty good. Ever since Jackson died the price of Moon Walker in Japan has been very high. I was lucky to get this mint one for under 4000 yen. Normally it would cost twice that for a mini copy. Best thing about the Japanese version is that it has Thriller on it when you do your magic in the graveyard.

R-Type is good but so difficult and it is quite slow. R-TYPE III is much better.
