Retro Gamer forum

It's a bit of an obsession really! I have a games room with literally 1000's of games, but I continue to collect because the excitement is still there for me - for example finding a rare copy of 'Battletoads & Double Dragon' for the Gameboy at a car boot sale recently for £5 made me so happy! I use...

Please take Cameron, Blair and Brown!!

not so much for collecting, but I'm betting retailers will be looking to dump a lot of PS3 stock this xmas or jan sales - will be on the look out for a few things then like Tales of Symphonia etc

Did Darran ever post his collection up?

I mostly hear lies, half truths and wishful thinking by both sides - so basically it's politics as usual really.

technical question: what will the status of Scot currently living in the rest of the UK be? Since they can't vote, which state would they be citizens of?

I didn't know this was on TV and literally caught only the last lap - which seemed 'exciting'. Heidfeld could easily have gotten very very badly hurt.

It looks quite fun overall to be honest - but did they say next race in Nov?? That will kill the interest.

thanks. Might pick it up and make a box from one of my football game shells

Maximum Carnage - seen a charity shop cartridge that is red? Is that legit or a knock off? It's go not box, but it's £6.

just starting Metro Last Light on PS3 and Metrico on Vita.

cheers!

can recommend that one by Laing - it's really nice.

I was a fairly addicted collector at one point, but stopped this year, as it was getting a little out of hand. I still have a hit list of 20 or 30 games I'd eventually like to buy - maybe a few older systems.

yer I saw that - but think I'll go for the £22 quid version - money's a bit tight for anything fancy.

i was mostly concerned about the spangly jumper Capaldi was wearing - my mum has one like that. Think I preferred the white shirt

the last Pulp album - the scott walker one. It's not really all that to be frank. Barely sounds like Pulp

Poor Vita has been draw for a few weeks - but gonna give Metrico a bash soon and will pr-order freedom wars (is that the right title?)
