Re: SNES Mini Announced
Didn't manage to get a pre-order, missed out by a few hours back when the they first went up. And since then it's been a bit of a pre-ordering shambles, with Nintendo seemingly happy to not commit units to any stores in volume. So, imagine my surprise when I managed to log onto ShopTo at lunchtime t...

Re: Your greatest gaming gamble
Xmas 1983 got a speccy 16k and the amazing duo pack of Jetpac/Tranzam. Probably wasn't aware then of how lucky a games collection start that was! So in the January sales I decided to use some of my Xmas money to buy a new speccy game. With little knowledge, no mags (didn't start getting Crash until ...

Gonna try the local facebook selling groups, and failing that the local hospice will apparently take any magazines.
Not sure the usual hospice browsers will be on the lookout for old videogames magazines though

Re: Ebay mag selling experience
I sold some large items on eBay last year that were 'local collection only'. Furniture and large toys. With every single item I would get somebody ask if I would send them by courier. A bit irritating, but a least they asked first! Each time I politely refused, stating I did not have the time and r...

Ebay mag selling experience
So I had my first experience of trying to sell on Ebay recently. I was having a big clear out, and decided to get rid of loads of magazines. I posted 2 listings - Issues 1-72 of GamesTM Approx 150 PC Gamer mags from Dec 1995 and the associated discs (and loads of other PC mag discs) I listed them as...

Re: What's the best top down army shooter?
Arcade Gunsmoke for me. Not seen a decent home conversion TBH... Don't really like Wild West stuff, but the music, atmosphere and visuals, together with the sublime 3-angle shooting mechanism, meant it was my favourite overhead shooter back in the arcades (and not a push-scroller like most of the ot...

Re: games/consoles rescued from the bin, rubbish/garbage tip
Back in 2004 I was taking some crap from the house to the local tip when I spotted a white Sega box standing up next to a skip full of electrical junk. There was nobody around, so I picked it up and took it back to my car rather guiltily! Once home I opened it up and found a mint original mark 1 Mas...

Re: GBA flash cart / games
I think I'll wait for the GBA everdrive also. I had no idea that it was being worked on! Thanks for the heads up.
I have the SNES everdrive and it's a magnificent device ☺

I'm struggling to post the website link on android Firefox, getting some weird php errors. It's 3dscarduk.com I was going to buy one, but after getting part way through the order alarm bells started ringing. It's not a secure website first of all, and some of the card questions were odd! Think I'll ...

GBA flash cart / games
Hi Finally got around to getting a GBA SP AGS-101 from eBay. I have a fair few GBA games that I never got around to playing that are boxed and pristine and I don't want to use the cartridges! So I'm looking at playing the games via flash cart if I can ☺ A quick Google shows that the EZ flash 4 is a ...

Re: Ps1 collecting thread?
Thanks for the replies guys. I'm probably gonna get rid of most of the games en masse, except for a few of the shooters.
I guess I'm gonna have to go dig out my PS2 and see if any of the games still work

Re: Ps1 collecting thread?
Good timing, this thread... Was already considering taking all my megadrive games to the Leeds market in February, and also a massive stash of late 80s and early 90s games mags. But then this also reminded me of the PS1 games that I acquired "accidentally" 9-10 years ago. And then again a couple of ...
