Re: Started building a retro game collection...

Man, that is great. Did it cost you $100 like I see on eBay? Dang, I'd never pay that much for a repro...

Mine was $67.50, I ordered it from the site someone posted in the thread timewalkgames.com

I'm sure if I wanted to sell it it'd sell for around that

Wow, I may be the luckiest guy in the world. Two days ago, I went to Microplay just to look if they had good retro games and all, and I ended up buying this:

Guys, do you realize? This is a system you had to preorder in advance through major retailers since they's ship it instead of selling it in the actual store. I just happened to stumble upon a brand new box sitting in the store TWO WHOLE WEEKS after it got released, and that, by total accident. It's an actual remake of the Neo-Geo console, with a 1:1 replica of the joystick. Better yet, a bonus; the actual thing you buy is the portable station in the middle which you can take anywhere with you, outputs HDMI signal and overall has an awesome feel to it. The "console" is what you use to charge the handheld, though, get this, when the portable device is plugged in the console, you can you the console on your TV with the joystick.

The console has 20+1 games pre-saved (the +1 is Ninja Masters that comes on an SD card to show they'll be selling single SD cards in the future), though hackers are quickly figuring out a way to hack the SD slot of the portable in order to play any Neo Geo game.

Sells for $200, now is around $250-$300 on ebay now.

PS: if you actually have one and/or want to follow the hackers' progress, head on here:

Dang, nice find. Really nice. I'm actually extremely jealous.

Neo Geo's are extremely hard to come by it feels like, and even more hard with something like THAT. I bet the system would've done so much better if it weren't for the WTF PRICE.

Hmm. Strange turn of events here!

So my girlfriend is as much of an avid gamer as I am, and she's grown up with SEGA consoles so has amassed a small collection of those which when we move in together will sit with my Nintendo stuff and it'll be all nice and shiny. Anyways, she got a call from a friend of hers this morning and he told her that he was moving house, and that he was getting rid of a part of his games collection and was going to bring it round and just give it to her! No charge or anything! So, he appeared a couple of hours ago with a box that was a fair size larger than we were expecting, and here are the pictures of a new part for our collection...

Big pictures under the cut, and a lot of them!

Box of unknown treasures!

Well, mind you, this is not an actual Neo Geo as I've said (wanted to make sure you got that part right :P), but the fact it's made in part by SNK themselves is just the cherry on top. I'm loving my experience with it so far!!

Bumpity bumpadoo.

Have you ever heard of Sven/Hateandhatred? This guy is awesome. Enough said. He came in front of my house at 6AM on his way to Anime North to drop this load of games. I didn't ask for anything, the guy makes me believe in Santa Claus. I'll try to update this thread at the same time, I got quite a frlew new games since last time. But seriously, and hot damn, thank you Sven. I just cannot believe that people can be this generous. I still have trouble believing it haha. <3
