[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Switchless Mod: Why not for PCE/TG16]

I know it sounds ridiculous, but music is such an integral part of the experience (with many games, not all of them...)

For a lot of stuff it's bearable. But not sonic.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Switchless Mod: Why not for PCE/TG16]

PAL gamers...what a sad bunch of bastards they must be.

Imagine growing up playing sonic at 50hz and not knowing the difference until you're in your 20s. ;(

That is crazy. Plus, the music. The music is different, correct? If only so slightly.... what a crazy situation.

Well it's slower if that's what you mean. Or are you thinking of the different music in sonic CD?

[Off-Topic / Re: What do you depise AT THIS MOMENT, literally....]

The fact my stomach keeps trying to squeeze every bit of juice out of me...

I've developed IBS when I turned 30 and my asshole and stomach are now my enemies, no fun indeed.

I feel your pain. Having to wake up an hour early every morning to sit firmly on the throne. Sometimes waking up in the night. Sometimes going from being the river Ganges to boulders all in the same day.

[Feedback / Re: Forum now unusable on mobile browsers]

I have an adblocker on my phone, but I usually use tapatalk when on the phone (it's a much better experience).

The only time I need to use a mobile browser for pcefx is when I need a link to an old post....after doing a search---the tapatalk search is broken for me...it used to work, oh well).

same here. Only use the website when on my PC or need to search. Otherwise Tapatalk fits the bill. I'm posting this from safari on iOS 10. No issues. No extra ad blocker installed. All I ever see is adverts for bank checks and audit software.

[Off-Topic / Re: Advice: reliable external harrdrive]

I have a toshiba external 500GB on my Wii u. Does the job and fits nicely on top of it flat.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS on eBay: the rest of my Dreamcast collection: 57 items]

EGG is a great RPG, highly recommend it.. at first you are playing this cutesy lil bot, and then BAHM the story gets pretty dark.. reminds me of Trigun a bit

I couldn't get in to this. I have a burn of it. Found it a bit clunky to control. Maybe it's just me being rubbish and I should give it another go?

[General Gaming / Re: Nintendo Switch Thread (previously NX)]

Picked up a hori pad. It's pretty decent. Sturdy, weighty fits good in the hands and the cord is of a decent length. Recommend unless you really want wireless which is not really worth the 100% price premium.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Die Hard]

What the actual fuck? £100?? That is ridiculous. That's nearly akamujo money. I like it but I would describe it as a middling top down shooter. The repetitive music lets it down a bit.

[General Gaming / Re: Nintendo Switch Thread (previously NX)]

I'm waiting for a game card cos collectard.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: More Turbo Games out on WiiU VC Today]

Honest question: has Nintendo ever honored digital purchases across platforms?

If you purchased a VC title on Wii and want it on Wii U you can transfer them over. I never did because I prefer them on my CRT. But you can only have them in one place. Then if the title was upgraded you can purchase the upgrade for a small consideration.

[General Gaming / Re: Nintendo Switch Thread (previously NX)]

Well I've had this thing for 4 months now and the dock hasn't scratched the screen.  Anyone else had that trouble?

[NEC Console Resource / Re: Greetings!]

Welcome. Please play Ys 1 through 4. Welcome.

[NEC Console Resource / Re: Hi, All!]

Welcome. Play Ys 1 through 4. Welcome.

[General Gaming / Re: SMS ports of Genny/MD games]

When I get a flashcart for SMS, I will check out these games...most of my SMS games are from the pre-Genesis era.

i have never played the sonic games on SMS.

You both must proceed at haste. Especially number 2 as it never reached the colonies. Riding a mine cart is fun.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Do you play your games? Are you afraid of insertion marks?]

I keep a China warrior safe up my dogs arse. Yours for a small consideration.

[Off-Topic / Re: Tits or Ass?]

I like playing with tits more than arse but from a casual observation perspective the behind has it.

[General Gaming / Re: SMS ports of Genny/MD games]

Sonic 1 and 2 are pretty good. I had them before I even tried sonic on a mega drive.

[General Gaming / Re: Nintendo Switch Thread (previously NX)]

Has anyone tasted their games? Is this just a huge myth being perpetuated that they taste bad. I just tried eating the 3 games I have and couldn't taste anything.

[General Gaming / Re: PSX modchips]

Just pick up a pre modded ps1. There are bargains to be had. I got mine for about £10 as is , console only no cables controllers etc. It does US JP PAL and boots. O and RGB is very pretty on PS1 well worth a good scart.

[General Gaming / Re: Nintendo Switch Thread (previously NX)]

What's in the disk?

Have fond memories of the PC version.

Some sort of sound track cd. I haven't given it a whirl yet.

[General Gaming / Re: Nintendo Switch Thread (previously NX)]

Got this today. Was cheaper ordering from amazon us than the digital download. Only took a week to arrive from the colonies.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: CD-R media & burners]

The code for a stack of 10 is jCDTY74SR-1
A 100 cake is jCDTY74SR-4
They are on jetmedia.co.uk   I'm not sure what their international shipping policy is

[General Gaming / Re: Nintendo Switch Thread (previously NX)]

I'm going against the grain here, I've become very tired of breath of the wild. Sure it looks very nice but I find it becomes very tedious. Don't like all the cooking and the expiring weapons. Really loving blaster master zero right now.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: CD-R media & burners]

I have a large quantity of 650mb TY left. There is a company called CMC that claim to use the same manufacturing method and exact chemical composition as TY and they do 650 and 700 discs. Haven't tried for myself though.

[Fighting Street / Re: AMAZON IS DUMB]

Amazon uk used to be fantastic early 2000s. Used to spend ~£100 a month on crap I didn't need and delivery was free. O to be young and single again. Now the free delivery option is shabby to the max. Often waited a week just for the order to be picked. Amazon France is quite decent. Ordered a ps vita last Christmas and it arrived NEXT DAY.

[General Gaming / Re: SNES mini YO Americana's get on this NAO!]

Keep checking back at least Wildfruit. UK amazon actually had some up yesterday and they sold out. I managed to order one this morning from them. It said doesn't ship to the US but let me check out with a US address. 

I had a look earlier but couldn't see a placeholder

[General Gaming / SNES mini YO Americana's get on this NAO!]

Uk store preorders went in 30 minutes. I missed it as I was driving home from work. There are already listings on eBay for up to £200. Here is one sample

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

well the pc engine version of detana twinbee including the sticker sheet isn't new but the other stuff  surrounding it is recent.  Feeling nostalgic for twinbee!

That's a whole heap of cute. Love twinbee.

When the prime minister has to contend her seat against a man with a bucket on his head and Elmo.

Never mind Theresa May, Lord Buckethead was the real winner at Maidenhead

[General Gaming / Re: What's the longest lived backup battery you've ever had?]

I've got some game boy games that still hold a save. Had most since early 90s.

[General Gaming / Re: Nintendo Switch Thread (previously NX)]

So this dropped through the letterbox today. Only had a short time to play, first impressions, A decent revamp, controls well , looks & sounds good. Capcom thumbs up.

[General Gaming / Re: Nintendo Switch Thread (previously NX)]

I've done one divine beast in botw. Got ultra SF2 on pre order. Anyone else getting it? Could have a little online round robin.

[Fighting Street / Re: Donut or Dognut?]

Doughnut

[General Gaming / Re: CheapNES - what game to buy?]

Snake rattle n roll is a good buy.

[General Gaming / Re: Bought a Genesis... Any game suggestions?]

Streets of rage 2
Robocop versus terminator
Toy story
Super street fighter 2
Quackshot
Sonic 1
World of illusion
Empire of steel

[Fighting Street / Re: Star Trek Next Generation Collectards]

I can't believe I never gave this the time of day before. I'm nearly through the first season. TOS is duly promoted to my second favourite series.

[Fighting Street / Star Trek Next Generation Collectards]

I am finishing up DS9 right now. Mixed feelings about DS9, and looking forward for moving onto more trekking. Voyager next, starting later tonight

Ds9 is much better than voyager. There is so much filler in voyager it's unreal. So many episodes can be skipped without consequence.
Have recently started watching TOS. amazing. Shatner is a much better actor in it than I ever imagined.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Mega Drive cable on TurboGrafx PAL]

This place sells the accessories kit:
http://www.consolegoods.co.uk/

May be available elsewhere, but that a the only one I'm aware of

I've bought from this guy before. He's good & reliable. Seems like his prices have gone out of whack though. I bought a turbo from him for £60 something pound couple years ago, now charges £140. That's some inflation.

[General Gaming / Re: Nintendo Switch Thread (previously NX)]

To keep me tied over I downloaded shock troopers and played it with my son in tablet mode. After accidentally putting a joycon together the wrong way and taking ages to get it apart we had a blast. Was good fun.

[General Gaming / Re: Nintendo Switch Thread (previously NX)]

I think I'm going to hold for puyo puyo Tetris. Looks decent.

[General Gaming / Re: Nintendo Switch Thread (previously NX)]

I told my wife I was going to wait til probably end of the year to get one but bless her cotton socks she got me one for my birthday. Haven't got any games though. Don't know what to get. Nothing taking my fancy right now.

REALLY?  NOTHING?  Not even Zelda?

Zelda is amazing.

I already have it for Wii U and didn't want to double dip already.

That is shocking. Dr Pepper is one of nature's finest nectars.
