It's my belief to buy a lot of these Japanese games cheap now, as once a proper pair of smart glasses arrives with language translation, all these none english titles will fly!

Originally posted by _SD_ View PostAgreed, the Titler certainly isn’t something I’d want in my set-up. I really wanted a Twin but the red / orange ones are apparently prone to yellowing and I could never find a black Twin or Twin Turbo in good enough condition at an agreeable price

Sometimes I head over to CEX to see what PC games they have for 50p or a quid. I picked up quite a few to mess around with this time. Max Payne 2 came with the CD for Max Payne 1 as well which I don't think it was originally sold with.
But this is the real gem. Not 50p sadly. There aren't many games out there that I truly regret not buying at release but this is one of them.

Originally posted by vanpeebles View PostIt's not a machine I'm familiar with at all. An old mate of mine Hirst, had got a normal famicom cheap and was going on about the games. So I thought I'd do it properly
I never had a NES back in the day, I was given one years back but when I dug it out a couple of years ago the prices of regular NES stuff shocked me. Prices of £15-30 for most completely ordinary PAL games, just the cart only! Fair enough if it's for some exotic machine, but I couldn't be bothered with that so I just stuck the NES on eBay and forgot about it.
Then a couple of months back, I discovered the Famicom equivalents go for absolute buttons (most games are £2-4!), so I thought I'd get this early model (composite modded by the seller in Japan). Now I can play my all-time favourite game, "Stock Victory Study". Might do a proper post about it later, the NES market has kind of been collectored to death but this is a great alternative - cooler machines, nicer carts and huge value for money (my favourite).
