X-box v. PS2

[X-box v. PS2]

Get both, then regret getting one of them. I wouldnt take the "making graphics better" for ps1 games to seriously. PS2 has a couple of pretty fine games, as does the box. If your into modding and emulation then the xbox is the way to go,

[Why no Bogey Blaster on rarity guide?]

Has this title got anything to do with snot?

[OK, now I am obsessed with Wind Waker]

Im kind of bored of it and stopped playing about a week ago. I thinks its because ive been playing alot of the res evils, eternal darkness and a touch of silent hill 2 for the 3rd time. After all the evil, zelda is just plain childish, i'll re-approach under a different frame of mind

[do Dreamcast games just stop working?]

Seriously,, i had a dc that got alot weaker after leaving unrealy tourney in it for 3 months. It may seem like an urban myth but leaving cd's in is bad.

Only had 1 game that never worked out of the packet, v-rally 2.

[do Dreamcast games just stop working?]

In my experience leaving cd's in consoles is a bad idea, particularly with the dc.

go to ebay.com 8136518340 item number notice sellers name and forum name

 

Dont need to, like i said, i get at least 1 a week

[Nuts NTSC Version now available! (WARNING: Big pic!)]

At least i now know what this title is called, mine is in german

[Subterranea]

I can confirm that Subterranea is a bitch to get here in aus, I got my silver label in a bundle, But its the only one ive seen to date

Air Raid at my local thrift store

 

 

Of course, theres at least 1 air raid a week in my local vinnies

[Saturn - Daytona]

Sega rally is still my all time favourite console racer, its what i'd call perfect. If you havent got it, get it now. Daytona cce is alot better then the 1st release, the handling is great and if you are from a pal country it was optimized for pal tvs so no letterbox, the original daytona has the most wicked letterbox effect , almost as crap as ffx on the ps2.

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

Nothing much for me except for Dave Mirra BMX on the DC, Not a bad title.

[GTA]

I enjoyed GTA on the dc, I loved gta3 and vc on the ps2/xbox. The clones where pretty average, true crimes was not all that impressive. Driver 2 on the psx was ok, D3 is just plain nasty.

[What Could've Saved Atari]

A 1984 release of the 7800 with an on-board pokey chip probably would have seen atari last a bit longer. A built in title like Galaga or double dragon may have helped as well, as far as competition go's segas sc1000 which had already been released in japan wouldnt have hurt. I have no idea when the nes was released in the states but it certainly wasnt 84 here.

[OK, now I am obsessed with Wind Waker]

 

Yeah' date=' but that is part of the charm, it has a lot of continuity, at least its not as similar as OoT and Majora's Mask. Now THERE was a rerun![/quote']

 

 

Ok, my moan is trivial now that ive played long enough to really enjoy this title. The cel shading isnt quite as amazing as i thought, the sound isnt what I thought, but this games plays just fine.

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

Wow, can i make you feel better by letting you know that i picked up a complete performa 6400 and a complete power pc at my local thrifts? Not to mention the power cd. Ok, this is a while back, im waiting for a good priced g3

 

But more importantly i got zelda windwaker limited edition with majoras mask for $10

 

You may have already won a free Gameboy Advance. I'll deliver it in person, and you have to sign for it. You may also feel a sharp pain in your neck, but it will pass as you lose consciousness.

 

Not quite, but i did buy a gold coloured (thats colored) gameboy pocket for 50 cents today.

[3 Most Rare]

If we are to answer from different parts of the globe and pal or ntsc format then my top 3 rarest which have been proven to be pal are.

 

1. pengo

2. Roc N Rope

3. ?????, i really dont know

 

1.) Fair enough.

3.) I'd be inclined to say Steeple Chase or something. Can't remember the last time I saw one of them!

2.) Where did you get that from? They're about rarity 4 I'd say.

 

Maybe they're just much scarcer in Oz but on ebay.co.uk it's not rare at all - at least it wasn't!

 

The roc'n'rope picture here i believe to be the uk cbs version, I have never seen this here in oz, even when the 2600 was king. So you can get mouse trap and the other cbs commons but no roc'n'rope. Steeple chase is definately up there, never seen this before. I feel an urge to go the the states for a thrifting spree from west to east! Even if i only get spyhunter i'd be happy. Cause i know that aussie eally is a common cart in the us

[192 in 1 multicart - not listed, similar to TVBoy]

Yep, seen a few of these before,I own a couple with the difference being they are operated with dipswitches. It look like a cigarette pack with pacman on it.

 

I recently picked up a mega boy which is has a remote to connect of av cables, runs off batteries with 128 buit in games. The modem is ws-11, has anyone found one of these before? I'd like to know its origin.

[new VCS 2600 graphics]

The bomb jack mock is pretty cool, thats one of my favourite games of all time. Another case of gameplay beats graphics

[Nintendo DS the details are in! $149, built in software, etc]

That $150 translates to about $200 Au, This is on my shopping list

[OK, now I am obsessed with Wind Waker]

Well after 3 hours last night of play i am indeed enjoying ww. The fact that its uses Oot songs and sound effects kinda pisses me off a bit though. Its like im playing an n64 with a better controller,

[3 Most Rare]

This really is not going to be possible to answer if the question is about 2600 carts world wide. I myself have seen an air raid and many other strange carts but never purchased them. I mean one of the rarest carts for me at the moment is ET. If we are to answer from different parts of the globe and pal or ntsc format then my top 3 rarest which have been proven to be pal are.

 

1. pengo

2. Roc N Rope

3. ?????, i really dont know

[OK, now I am obsessed with Wind Waker]

I got my hands on ww today and am just about to start playing it, i did load it up when i got home with it to check it out. Looking forward to it for sure. Oot is one of the best zelda titles imho, iv finished the n64 cart a few times and even finished it emulated on the xbox. Im looking forward to ww as its the 1st zelda for a while and it looks pretty amazing.

 

I have 2 cubes, a blue and a black one. The black one has never frozen but the blue one i got for $10 as it had issues, as per usual messing with the pot on th cd player did the job nicely. It has frozen 2 or 3 times but nothing to big.

 

Speaking of which, has anyone finished eternal darkness? It has some crazu insanity effects, Like the blue screen of death whicg made me actually think there was an error

[What pre-1985 videogame character are you?]

well i wont lose any sleep knowing that im a light Cycle

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

I've said it a hundred damn times, and plenty of other people have too.

 

"My local thrift stores suck, there's never anything good at them."

 

It doesn't bear repeating or reminding. >_<

[I need a dreamcast gameshark!!!]

go to www.megagames.com , go to dc utilities and you'll find the cdx there. Of course you could buy one, eb has some here in aus for about $15 so it would probably cheaper in the states
