    Curious. Are you the guy from New Jersey who was selling a ton of Jag games on ebay a week or two ago? Someone seemed to be selling off their entire collection and had nearly every game including a lot of rare/expensive ones. I actually bought 2-3 of them form him to ad to my collection.

    Negative. I'm in the UK. I just stuck it on as a lot at auction with the view it sells for what it sells for. I'm not one for inflated BiN's.

    I thought a full Jag set sits in not that much space (but I can see wanting to reclaim it):

    Well yeah....retro games in general. With 20-odd systems, if it wasn't for flash carts I'd need to dedicate a lot of space to it which is not something I'm willing to do. That said, I was up to 50 Jag games and those boxes aren't small!

    Hewson's Onslaught is great - crazy mix of platforming, shmupping and a little bit of strategy and puzzling.

     

    Silmarils' Metal Mutant - which had the most amazing sound and graphics at the time.

     

    Conqueror - a superb slightly strategic WWII based tank shooter using David Braben's amazing game engine from Zarch (Virus).

     

    Was going to suggest Infogrames' excellent TBS/RTS/platformer North and South as well but I think it might be quite well known. I don't see it crop up in conversation very often though.

    I'll bear that in mind, thanks.

     

    Also, I know I haven't posted here very much, but I can point anyone in the direction of almost 500 stars worth of 100% positive eBay feedback and long feedback threads on various UK gaming forums such as GRcarde and RLLMUK. For what that's worth...

    Looking for Atari Karts, good used condition is fine but must be complete. I'm in the UK but happy to pay postage at cost from wherever, so don't let that put you off if you have one to sell.

    Quick question re. STE joysticks. If I do pick up a 1040 STE, can I use a standard joystick on it(I know they have enhanced ports, but I'm unsure whether or not they take a normal joystick too), or am I better off getting a couple of Jag pads to use on it? If the latter is the case, I take it they function ok with any games, yeah?

     

    Cheers.

    Well, I'd rather not butcher a Miggy tbh, but by the time I've bought and shipped a new drive here, I'm probably looking at doubling what it would cost me to buy a plain ST in the first place. I'm starting to think I maybe shouldn't bother with the offer at all, and just wait for a decent working one to come up on eBay - after all that.

    Cheers for the advice. I do actually have an A500 and an A600 - which is fairly pointless, so I could butcher one of those. I didn't realise the drives were interchangable. With them not reading one another's disks, I assumed they were somehow proprietary - spot on, thanks.

     

    Edit - I also found out that it's just a bog-standard 520 ST, so where does that leave me with regards to plugging it into a TV? I had an STFM as a youngster, but I've never actually seen a plain ST....

    Hi,

     

    I've been offered an Atari ST(not sure which model atm) with a broken disk drive, and was wondering where the best place to source a new drive for it is? I've had a look on eBay(UK) to no avail. Is there anywhere that still sells them at retail? Any sort of Atari breakers, perhaps an ST version of Amigadeals maybe....

     

    Also, what model number(s) and manufacturers should I be looking out for?

     

    Cheers in advance.

    Lumines is fantastic, and features some really really good bespoke music that fits the gameplay so well - if you're after a psychadelic trance music experience (think Rez with less shooter and more puzzle) that you just melt into before you know what's happening, then it comes highly recommended. The sequel throws in some chart tracks and videos too, which kind of reduces the appeal in my eyes. Loco Roco's a superb little game too - a bit easy, but amazingly charming. Other than that, I haven't played the rest of the games on your list, although the Medal of Honour demo is pretty good once you're used to the controls - plus that features 32 player online deathmatching if 1st person shooters are your thing.

     

    I'll definitely second the Killzone Liberation recommendation - it's a great fixed perspective 3rd person shooter. I'd also chip in Ridge Racer(or the sequel) as a brilliant arcade racer, and Field Commander as a fun strategy game(a more serious, less charming Advance Wars) too.
