  1. Nice dual Nuons stacked there... I'm drooling. :)

     

    I had 3 till a couple days ago I sold a Samsung N501 with retail box and few games on ebay Im running out of space as you can see them sitting on the floor haha

     

    Yeah, I was watching that auction. Wish my N501 had come with the box.


  2. Oh, that's what the citizens of every country say.

     

    To the guy running Chase the Chuckwagon, or GameGavel, or whatever, please don't ever sell the business to eBay. They need some competition... make sure you're there to give it to them.

     

    That's what it's all about. Giving them a run for their money. Associating with a couple large International gaming communities will definitely help our cause :)

     

    I'm going to hold you to that! I'm still hurting over Jeff "Sleazy" Veasey's decision to sell GameFAQs in spite of earlier promises to the contrary.

     

    I'm guessing most people would sell out if offered 'retirement money'.

    Of course I wouldn't! ;)


  3. I hope I don't start a flamewar or anything with this or reignite some old argument, but I picked up a copy of Tempest X for the PS1, and was playing it tonight.

     

    I was so surprised, I think it is a great replacement for Tempest 2000 if you don't feel like hooking a Jaguar up!

     

    I liked that the web has a texture on it, and I think overall it's actually a little sharper on the screen, easier to see what's going on. There are some differences with the enemies, no horns coming at you in this one, but there's some sort of odd alien thing that shows up. A couple of the sounds are different, but it does use the same soundtrack as T2K. A few of the webs are differently shaped, but nothing out of the ordinary.

     

    Don't flame me too badly, I was a T2K fan back when the Jaguar came out, it's my favorite game ever. But I was really surprised by this $3 used game store purchase!

     

    And it just might be a bit easier. I beat my best Jaguar score with this PS1 version on the 2nd try.


  4. That's still twice as much as I'd be willing to pay for a magazine subscription! :|

     

    Have you ever gotten a Retro Gamer mag before?

     

    They're nice and big (UK magazines tend to use a large format) and I have no qualms paying $10 at the bookstore for one.


  5. Well, I won't be getting the new issue for another 2 weeks, the store by work seems to get them about the end of the month. And I think that will be for issue 68.

     

    Subscription wouldn't be cheaper here with the currency conversion rates. It's 10 bucks at the bookstore, and subscribing would be $127.

     

    Ok, so it would be $3 cheaper for 13 issues... yippie. :)
