More arrivals today, planet dob, pocket dungeon & pocket tuner arrived. So glad planet dob was new as that spinecard took the damage of the sun which thankfully protected the edge from getting faded, somewhere in it's previous life it must have been sat on a shelf in japan in some random shop near a window been ignored for years for that amount of burn to take place but it is now living with me so it's going to get opened & played like every sealed game in my collection does. Also now have enough memory to stop deleting saves every time i get a new game.

And another knock at the door, yay my replicade Tempest arcade machine arrived. It's pretty nifty just like centipede is, they even include a couple of different sized spinner knobs so you can put one on that matches the scale or the larger one for more comfortable playing. Although the screen is not a vector one they have done a pretty good job at making a decent looking attempt. Box got a bit dinged up during shipping but not too bad overall.

While i do enjoy playing current gen i still have a love of older games, my playstation collection has sat in stasis for years with me not buying anything for it but been able to download any game on the playstation classic and try it out has given me the ability like i did on the DS to try games that i'd never have dared take a risk on by buying blind. I find myself playing it a lot, it seems i barely scratched the surface with playstation there are so many imports i missed out on back in the day & im now in the process of tracking down. Have to pace myself though as i can easily end up spending hundreds & buying masses of games and probably not end up playing them, if i buy smaller batches i can play through & enjoy before moving to getting the next set. Still waiting for Tempest to fully charge up before i have a proper play session but from the quick go it controls not too bad, the spinner isn't a true one as it uses a pot instead of a optical wheel but it's useable.
If you wanna check them out they have a website

importaku any chance of a couple of photos to see the size of the controls in your hands?
Anyway here's a couple of pics i couldn't do both hands together as i had to hold my camera. Bear in mind i have very large hands so the scale may vary but i have zero problems playing it. Due to it's smaller size you will find that you need to experiment for the comfiest position to play in but so far i'm enjoying it.
Anyone feel free to ask any questions i'll try to answer them if i can.

£4.89 & free shipping i couldn't help myself as i miss not having them both in my collection although the first game has better songs will get the sequel at a later point. Plan on getting more of the bemani games already have every DDR game but would love to do the same with pop n music & beatmania.

Well as a present my mum bought me a copy of pepsiman off ebay from a seller that had over 1000+ feedback and all 100%, listed as very good condition. So it turns up today....
yeah **** that! every page of the manual is full of creases and the disk looks like it was used to play air hockey.
mum is pretty upset as she really wanted to suprise me and what she got as a **** condition game for the price of $89, suffice to say i have read the seller the riot act along with those pics as evidence. Yeah the myth that Japanese look after their stuff in pristine condition is just that. A myth, they treat it like trash like everywhere else.
