Seriously, though - playing Super Mario Bros. Deluxe right now, myself and it's awesome!! What a great job Nintendo did of re-releasing one of the best NES games with added challenges, unlockables, and incentives to keep playing over and over again!!

months and months ago I found a nice looking copy of NeoGeo Battle Coliseum (PS2) for $5 at GameStop. Though when I got to the counter, they couldn't find the damn disc. :? So I asked if I could just keep the case/manual. They let me. Anyway, yesterday I found a really minty disc-only at another GameStop and it came out to like $3.80 so that was a nice find for me.

Now if I could just find Backyard Basketball 2007's disc the same way...

Got the following from someone living 2 streets away, found on gumtree.

First lot..
Image
All in good working order, £20.

Second lot..
Image
Both GGs fauly as is the Master sys converter, hoping this just requires a good clean. :|

Image
One works fine , others dead. :|

Image
Cases a little dirty from storage but cartridges in good order.

Image
Dont own a master system YET so unable to test, but all look in good order.

Image
Again converter not working so unable to test.
Cost £40. 8)

Am I right to assume the "game adaptor" in the last pic allows the play of non PAL games :?:
Thanks in advance. 8)

Nothings ever dead. I don't believe in it.




I got a kinda good score today. I've been wanting to get S-Video cables for a bunch of my consoles, but haven't felt like spending the $5-10 each on them. So when I was in Play N Trade today, they had one of those multi consoles S-Video cables (GameCube, PS, Xbox). It was $10, but since I plan to use it for my PS1&2 and Nintendo consoles, I figure it saved me some money. Then I got a Pelican GB Player controller for the Gamecube for $8. But here's the best part, I get to the register and the lady is like, "Would you like to use your in store credit?" And I'm like, "I have in store credit?" So everything ended up costing me only $10, so I figure $5 for each item is a decent score. The best part about it though is that the in store credit appeared from thin air.

It's not Neptune, but it is nearly as lifeless and inhospitable: Utah.

NDS Project Rub €3,98

That's exactly the kind of quirky games I wanna see from SEGA...

Reminds me a bit of the old SEGA. Which is always a good thing... ^^

Is the second one -The Rub Rabbits- any good?...

Yup, just like those Honey Bee converters...

Thanks for the help, I've read through the link but I'm still cofused about the adaptor.

I've asked a few questions on the sega board so as to not swamp this board.

Thanks again.
