  1. Thank you, Anthony. But this is a mess of my own creation. I should deal with it myself, and stop myself from falling into delusions that caused this in the first place.
  2. Hello... I have been trying to write this for a little while, but I have some bad news. After recent events impacting my life and months of self-evaluation I have come to the conclusion that I will not be able to create a Neo Geo podcast. I apologize for waiting so long to announce this, to be honest I have been afraid of what people's reactions will be. I know this is somewhat irrational. In recent months my mental health has declined significantly, and I spent last year trying to deal with tragic events with over ambitious projects and aims, all of which led to failure, or at least failure by my own standards, that have made me feel even worse. I feel it is best for this wonderful community and myself if I reduce my plans to just the Neo Geo Pocket and Neo Geo Pocket Colour, a system I feel I will be able to cover better. Thank you for your support in trying to get this podcast to work, and I am sorry that it has not amounted to anything so far. I hope I can still contribute to the Game by Game podcast and wider retro gaming communities. - Philip the Whovian
  3. Hi everyone, quick update. Here is the blog for the podcast, it will be inactive for a while but I assure you the podcast is still coming. https://neogeopod.blogspot.co.uk/
  4. Hello everyone, brief update. Here is the Neo Geo blog. https://neogeopod.blogspot.co.uk/

  6. I have five main categories of things I would not collect. 1. Games with nudity and excessive violence 2. Games that offend me, personally 3. Games over £1000 4. Games on cassette (to excess), and no Coleco Adam games 5. Large libraries for non Nintendo home consoles made after 2002 Number 4 is mainly because I know that cassette tapes will easily die on me, and I would be the person who forgets about the Adam's start up wiping ability. Then there are a couple of more minor categories. 1. Most pong clones (aside from Magnavox, Nintendo, Atari and Videomaster) 2. Some more obscure handhelds 3. The Amstrad GX4000 4. Edutainment
  7. I know this may sound weird, but these posts have brought me a significant amount of joy. Over here in Britain, it seems that in both the US and here that discussions about differences in political opinions have degenerated into shouting matches, and oversimplification. It has filled me with hope, that two adults can talk, not matter how briefly, in a civil manner about current affairs.
  8. I don't have much space around my TV, but I still managed to fit my Wii and Ps2 via Scart and an Xbox 360 via HDMI. My Videopac and pong console are nearby, just in case I feel like playing them.
  9. I bought it two days ago, I liked it but I have no idea where it could go and still make it interesting.
  10. Asteroids, although not on a 2600, instead on the Atari Anthology collection.
  11. I feel it shouldn't be this cheap. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MB-Electronics-Microvision-computer-game-system-Boxed-4-games-/272639408815?hash=item3f7a933aaf:g:q5EAAOSwpkFY74hp £25 seems low, can anyone see anything wrong with it?
  12. It wouldn't have been powerful enough to compete, and they had a bad experience of the market in the late 70s and early 80s.
  13. I have decided, to reduce the number of adaptors I need, to buy an NTSC tv for NTSC consoles. I have a question though, would I need to buy a transformer? What is the difference between US and UK voltage? Thank you for any help.
  14. Unlike many in this thread, I have no problems with Mario sound effects. But one song that annoys me is the game over theme from the original Legend of Zelda, it is the only piece in the game I don't like.
  15. I just found this on Ebay, unfortunately I don't have the £160 required to buy this, any information? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Philips-Videopac-Extension-Basic-C7420-For-G7400-Ultra-Rare-Express-Ship-/272615844940?hash=item3f792bac4c:g:hwgAAOSwmgJY2t4l
  16. Could you also say where to find these as well.
  17. Hi, I just need some quick tips on the original Final Fantasy, all the guides I can find refer to the PS1 version, I find the game a little confusing, especially the weapon hierarchy. Just to be clear, the NES version being played on the Wii Virtual Console. I would like to know, 1. What are the best weapons and armour available if I have just arrived at Crescent Lake for each character class. 2. What level should I be for the airship quest? 3. Are there any items or magic with misleading names? Thank you
  18. For me, the most annoying enemy are Wosus from Zelda II, I love the game but grinding for experience is so difficult with these enemies appearing every two seconds in palaces getting rid of all of my experience without being able to reclaim any once I have defeated them. And to add more pain, they didn't even steal experience in the original Japanese version! I am not good at that game.
  19. There will always be one person who plays on physical hardware, if that one person is me for the next 50 years so be it.
  20. I haven't heard of that site before, I look at it soon.
  21. I am currently planning out a Doctor Who podcast and I need sources of information. Does anyone know of any non-Wikipedia pages which have details on the 1992 Doctor Who Pinball game? Videos would also be helpful.
  22. Hello, I do plan to listen to Ten Pence Arcade, I feel like there is so much of the US perspective on arcades it will be refreshing to have a British perspective (mainly because I am British).
