Magical Chase has one.

Definitely consider a giant bean bag although every few years you will need to top it up as it tends to go flat after a while.

I might also suggest a double futon for any sleep overs but... you will need to make sure the screws are held in place as constant moving around will loosen the screws and may cause the wooden beams unnecessary strain and will break.

Quote from: esteban on 12/23/2017, 07:03 PMYou read my mind! I was playing that CD for my kids and they are amazed that a 5-disc carousel has been sitting in front of them for years, but they never knew it.

This also revealed that the last time I played CD's was last XMAZ. Ha!

Chipmunks XMAZ albums (two of 'em) were also in there.

...and Beach Boys XMAZ.
I wanted to order the vinyl in time for christmas but it's too late.  Maybe next Christmas.  I was just listening to it on the 1965 Christmas episode and again on the recent Peanuts movie and now I have it on my phone playlist.

yes it's doable I've beaten the game a few times.  It's quite short.  You just need to practice a bit more, as they say "practice makes perfect"

Quote from: guest on 02/23/2016, 12:35 PMWhat was the scene like back then? Was pce mildly popular? Which games did you guys own, or your friends? Any stories to tell?
It was very exciting times.  More people had JPN white PC Engines in my year and in the year above than anyone had UK PAL Sega Master Systems and Nintendo Entertainment Systems, and that's honestly true.  And it didn't seem that expensive either especially compared to the price of an Atari ST computer and its games.  Every schoolboy around my age in my town with half an interest in 'computer games' knew what one was thanks mainly due to word of mouth coupled with the really good magazines we had. 

R-Type pt.1 definitely was the game that made people really really care about the console.  However, R-Type pt.2 was bloody difficult to find for a long time right into the early 90s for some odd reason. 

At my school, Splatterhouse (also initially very expensive and difficult to get) was the game that everyone wanted, or at least wanted to play.  I remember when my best mate whipped out his GT and started playing this game in registration, even the girls (not being sexist) were crowded around watching him play it.  Also older kids from the neighbouring form came in to see what all the fuss was about.  Then came over our form tutor, wanting to confiscate the lot but then didn't as my mate told him how much it all cost (nearly 300 quid's worth Sir), and he wouldn't 'let' him, so he crumbled and didn't!  It was like a small, rare victory.   :D

I just wished I had taken photographs of the PC Engine gear in Shekhana's 221 TCR shop in their earliest PC Engine days.  Everything was running on RGB Philips CM8833 monitors, and the hardware and software was displayed behind glass counter top cabinets.  It was more akin to a a branch of Tiffany & Co..  And they were literally selling like hot cakes in front of ones eyes.  Harrods and Hamley's also had PC Engines in stock a while later I remember seeing.  But I'm sure that Shekhana was the first high-street shop to sell PC Engine in the British Isles?  They were already selling US NES games so the PC Engine seemed like a natural progression from that.  And Rhine Games (long forgotten) quite a while later up the road had stock of the PC Engine LT when it first game out.  It was 550 quid.  I was tempted, but the screen was utter shite even then.

I bought my PC Engine for Son Son II as I was a huge Monkey Magic fan and it just looked like the dog's bollock's in TGM's review.  And it was.  And it is. 

And the best thing was, the PC Engine was obviously never released in the UK really, and even then we knew, as children, that this made the whole experience even radder.
Just reminded me but there was also a games store in Walhamstow high Street that sold pc engine imports too.  They only had the very early namco games but I can't recall them getting new releases unlike Raven Games and Shekhana and CEX

Quote from: Psycho Arkhan on 10/31/2017, 12:25 PMThose grngrngrngrnbzrbzrbzr noises are great if they're used carefully, but when the whole soundtrack is like that it's like JFC guys, can you not.

look at how goony Chase HQ and SCI are.   Those games sound kind of awful.   Some of that is because the sound effects basically overtake the music and all you hear is a little bit of weak leads ontop of OK *BLAM BLAM BLAM * SCREEEECH SCREEEECH* *BLAM* WEWEWEOWOOOOWEOEOEEOOO*


but the music isn't so great once you can hear it.
The onomatopoeia is off the chart!

might struggle a lot with some of those fancy transparencies and 3D poly effects. Might be able to get it up and running using ARCADE card or a 4000megabit hucard :o (not an accurate assumption)!

Off-Topic / Re: NeoGAF explodes...
10/26/2017, 12:25 PM
Last night was interesting...

https://kotaku.com/thousands-of-neogaf-users-flock-to-new-website-1819871316

Last weekend's NeoGAF implosion was upsetting to anyone who enjoyed reading and posting on the influential gaming message board. Fortunately for them, a new option has already emerged.

On Wednesday night a group of former GAF users launched ResetEra, a clean new message board with sections for discussing video games and other topics ("EtcetEra"). As of Thursday morning they already have more than 7,100 users, according to one moderator. And the site is already full of threads that resemble NeoGAF before last week's implosion.

NeoGAF has been collapsing since its owner Tyler Malka was accused last week of entering a woman's shower against her will, an accusation that he has since denied. The allegation also resurfaced older controversial incidents involving Malka's behavior both in real life and on the forums. After the majority of the site's moderation staff quit, NeoGAF went down for roughly the entire weekend before returning on Monday night with a message from Malka, who said he would be removing political discussions from the site. As he and his staff deleted the bulk of NeoGAF threads discussing what had happened, a flood of users requested bans, often in colorful ways.

As the NeoGAF user Peltz pointed out in a thread that has since been deleted, many of the forum's regular participants were upset not just about the allegation, but about how Malka handled the situation. "If he allowed the criticisms to flow and responded humbly, then this community would still be strong," wrote Peltz.

The new site is not open to the public yet as they are rolling in ex Gaf people first.

Quote from: guest on 10/23/2017, 03:10 PMWait.... so they had a relationship again after the shower perv incident?!?  I'm not doubting that the shower thing happened, buy why should I care about it if it meant so little to her that she'd be willing to date him again afterwards?  Methinks there's more to the story and/or an axe being ground after the fact.

And I still don't care about neogaf.  My only hope is that none of the retards join here.

 "She said that while she and Malka, who was her friend, were drinking together in a New Orleans hotel room in April 2015, she became very sick. Then, she says, Malka came up behind her in the shower without her consent. She says she told him to get the hell out.

She wrote: "I was throwing up and decided to hop in the shower to feel better. I was surprised when he got into the shower, fully naked behind me. I had a boyfriend at the time and didn't think I had given him any reason to believe I wanted this. I didn't cheat." The post was screencapped and has been shared widely over the past few days.

Leupp said that even after the alleged shower incident, she'd continued her friendship and even had a brief physical relationship with Malka until they had a falling out at E3 2015. She said that, prior to the alleged shower incident "I had no reason not to trust him. He had been introducing me to people and helping me network for my film company," she told me. "I feel gross from having ever been in contact with this person."

Quote from: exodus on 10/16/2017, 01:25 PMI guess because it's the saturn version that has that extra A*life-style thing where you can raise the hidden animals you catch! I know it's silly, but I want the full package  :P
O_o are you sure you not getting the a-life mixed up with Nights?  In Radiant Silvergun you find hidden dogs but afaik you don't do any raising.

reading the comments about retrogamingcables uk is making me have doubts about them.

I bought a sync on luma RGB cable to switch between pal and jpn saturns and after a few hours of hooking up my pal saturn the psu was short circuiting every few minutes and I'd have to wait for the console to cool down before it could switch on and a few minutes of gaming the console would just power down. Now it doesn't power on at all.

Japan Saturn works fine though..
I wonder whether they sent me a csync by mistake. although the cable is labeled sync on luma.

Quote from: wildfruit on 08/10/2015, 01:00 PMI would say Nandos is my favourite. Mmmm chicken
Nando's is like the upmarket KFC

Macdonalds although a hit and miss sometimes it feels like I'm chewing cardboard but some stores they get it right and I love the way you can now order at those touch screen self service points and have the food delivered to your seating zone.

Itsu is a great sushi chain, pricey but when you crave the sashimi that's the place for me.

Burger King I crave every now and then but only the restaurant near Aldgate near the whitechapel art gallery

Brick lane is another great place for food especially on the Sunday morning/noon times.  Lots of vendors selling food from all corners of the earth in one spot.

Also any shop that does decent middle eastern; Shawarma, falafel and doner kebabs :Q

EDIT:

If i'm not lazy... I make my own fast food.

I was thinking about choosing Yokai too since it was this game that sold me on getting the pc engine.  I love the graphics and audio of this game and it's so weird.  My only problem today is that I always have to disconnect any multi player adapter before playing and this also involves the wireless receiver as it stops the game from booting up.

Valkyrie no Densetsu and Tower of Druaga because they have a good chunk of satifying gaming to them.

Genpei toumaden; out of all their arcade ports for the pc engine this one is almost arcade perfect
