Retro Gaming - The Bear and Badger

optimark_prime

Inspired by some of my most recent purchases:

Densha De Go (Dreamcast)
Sonic Shuffle
F-Zero X
Mickey Mania (Mega Drive)
Micro Machines: Military

I felt there is space on the forum for older games discussion.

mk64

what do we do here? List new purchases?

Marioworld+Mario Allstars on same cart (snes)

EvilRedEye

I played Alisia Dragoon on the MD so I could write a blog post about it, was not impressed.

optimark_prime

Anything you like MK, I read Redeye's review, was an interesting look at a game I used to really enjoy.

I know Reg is trying to complete a PAL N64 collection, perhaps he could talk about that.

regmcfly

Yeah, so I'm currently now over the 100 mark on N64 games. I think the next step over the next few months to Summer is to man up and get some of the big hitters (Banjo Tooie, Conkers BFD, Paper Mario etc) out of the way and just have them. It's fucking NIGHTMARISH trying to find some of this shit. I was actually bouncing that I found a copy of Premier Manager 64. I think the biggest challenge (not really done full ebays yet) is going to be obscure shit like Daffy Duck in Duck Dodgers.

But yeah, I'm all in for Retro. Hopefully 1080 Snowboarding and International Track and Field arrive this week!

EvilRedEye

Hang on, Micro Machines: Military? What's that?

optimark_prime

Not entirely sure, I've never played it before. There were tanks on an earlier Micro Machines though.

I'll try and upload a pic at some point (or cheat, and tweet it to you)

Elmlea

These aren't retro! F-Zero X is barely, what, 8 years old? Pfft.

optimark_prime

14. :-p

Are you using the Densha De Go controller?

optimark_prime

I am, yes :-)

[Deleted User]

Currently enjoying MAME again since getting my XArcade Tankstick upgraded, it's a welcome distraction from positioning kick drums, hi-hats and drawing in LFOs in my studio. Gigawing, Mars Matrix, Pro Gear and Battle Garegga are the current choice.

For a mo I thought you'd hooked the controls up via MIDI.

[Deleted User]

ahah

Brooks

Dare say it's possible.

[Deleted User]

You made me think of Ean Golden. Stop that now.

mk64

i was going to ask about that micro machines game too.

I've also just bought wetrix (i'm massively into tetris). Will look to start collecting again when I get the space right in the cupboards, at the moment its a case of just putting stuff in clear boxes. Pic to come if i get a chance tonight.

Unlikely

Why are you doing this, Reg?Â Why?

[Deleted User]

Nervous breakdown.

Yes, it's on Mega Drive. I had another pic, but I'll have to figure out how to put them straight on this forum, rather than posting a link.

Do you still want MK:DD and Sonic Mega Collection GC? You said you wanted them then never got back to me.

You can also have N64 BFD, Smash Bros, Mario Tennis, Tony Hawks 2, and DK64 for a knock down price. I JUST WANT RID OF THE M.

regmcfly

I'll take all of your 64 games but DK (got dat)

Need to set a sensible price - some of them worth some cash.Â

All boxed with manuals?

Frosty

All boxed with instructions. SSB and Mario Tennis are in mint condition, Tony has some slight dog earring on the manual, and Conker's manual and game are mint but the box is slightly scruffy at the corners (can't remember if I bought it second hand or am just shit at looking after stuff). Will put up pics and let you have a look

Checked ebay How does this sound?

Smash Bros Â£20
Mario Tennis Â£10
Tony Hawks 2 Â£10
Conker Â£42.50

Do you also want either of my controllers/carry case/expansion pack/power cable/ N64 itself?

I'll probably just pull a turts and skip em otherwise.

Pictures!

EDIT: Just because it's a pretty sexy case:

I'll probably be in Edinburgh next week so will just bring anything to you, save us faffing about with postage.

optimark_prime

That's a fantastic gesture Frosty, those are (in my opinion) excellent prices, and hopefully help Reg complete his collection :-)

optimark_prime

I won Streets of Rage 2 (to replace my tatty old copy), Batman Returns (Mega-CD) and Majora's Mask on eBay over the last two days.

Frosty

Excellent. That is basically that for the N64. Just DK64 and boxless Goldeneye, SM64, and an almost broken needs a good wiggle MK64.

The boxless stuff can just go in the bin I think.

Not sure what I'll get rid of next. It'll be either NES or MD. I'll probably start a new thread instead of cluttering up this one.

optimark_prime

No it's fine. This thread was intended for ANY retro gaming stuff.

Howdy, Stranger!
