Latest addition to the saturn collection from cex, happy with how the saturn collection is coming on now.

I completed my first GBA game today after owning one or a DS for about 5 years on and off... Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (!) it's surprisingly good - quite quick levels, regular save points really nice art work fun simple gameplay. Now to play a real game!

So went through my parents old loft and came out with all of this. Not sure if Ive got any gems either worth keeping or selling.

Wow that's an epic find! It looks in pretty decent condition too .

That Gameboy box looks almost new.

Oh Man great find!

Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil on the PC. Does the Resi box mention PowerVR? It's one game i'd love to try out on my Matrox M3D card!

no nothing to do with powervr from what I can see

Maybe it was a case of patching it for PowerVR. I know its one of the games popular with PowerVR owners.

Great haul non the less! Very jealous of the PC stuff

Hey guys so ive ordered a rca to hdmi to hook up to my pc monitor. How can I go about getting sound from my NES? Or will I have to use it on my tv instead

Assuming the monitor doesn't have speakers then you'll have to take the red RCA from the NES into some speakers. If you don't have RCA inputs then you could get a cheap RCA to 3.5mm female cable and plug in your normal PC speakers to that.

It seems quite a lot of work though when your TV would probably do a nicer job of it.

Been having way too much fun recently picking games up recently, the Neo Geo is slowly being a hit with work colleagues and I'm convincing several to get one to make more use of the link cable.Turns out Puzzle Link 2 is worryingly addictive. Could not resist a boxed English copy of Biomotor Uniton just sitting in CEX round the corner for one of my offices, they had no idea what it was!

Panzer Dragoon 1 and 2 are the reason I've been so excited to own a Saturn and they don't disappoint

Panzer Dragoon Saga is the one to really go for, I never played more than a demo disk and loved it. I could never get it though (the cost is :eek:

).

Yeah I've upset my self looking at how much it is complete! I know getting it would just lead to one of those conversations of the 101 that could have been had instead of it... First two are great fun for now and I can do my personal savings to get Saga eventually...

Nice find on the neo pocket stuff

Cheers! I’m loving sonic on it as well

Did pick up fatal fury for a tenner yesterday as my reward for changing some suit trousers (any excuse for a Neo Geo)

Firestar_3x · 10 Sep 2018 at 19:37

Yea Sonic is a great game on the Pocket, played mine lots!

vanpeebles · 11 Sep 2018 at 12:49

Sadly a lot of pocket games are getting hard to get now. One of the very few consoles where the UK got the best boxes too!
