Thankfully my wife doesnt build pedals and visit this forum...

So yeah, I've gone a little bit nuts lately accumulating NES and SNES games. It would have been a lot cheaper if i had of got onto it sooner. Nostalgia gets me every time.  This is probably half of the games I've ordered lately.  UN Squadron and Zelda were expensive :( Im mainly collecting the games i had when i was young, not trying to be a completionist and buy every game available...for some reason my favourite games, and the ones i had when i was young are rare (zelda-link to the past, un squadron, castlevania...turtles in time...TURTLES IN TIME...)

Anyway, I was thinking of getting a second NES and modding it, stereo output with the RBG video output mod....

Seriously, what the hell has happened to me?

Heh, closest I ever got to that was playing Sonic and Alex the Kidd for a couple minutes once.

I found the main problem with Sonic was that the little bastard went TOO fast, and levels wound up being a case of memorising what is offscrean, since you otherwise faceplant into it a quarter of a second later.

I had that on the kids' PS2 - 2ndhand, off ebay.  Was dodgy, would often crash, which was a shame, because I was absolutely intrigued by the artwork.

This week has been all devoted to 2 games.

The Division - Playing this for the 3rd time with a buddy of mine who just got a PS4 and he really wanted to play. After a week of playing on and off we just hit level 27. Can't wait to do the Underground & Survival addons with him next. I really love this game but I am happy to take a few months break in between playing.

Resident Evil 7 - I'm playing this exclusively in PSVR. I am a HUGE horror fan and this does not let down. It is so creepy and tense, I love it! I;m about an hour in and look for time to sit in a dark room and jack in. I have been called a machine since i seem to be immune to any of the motion sickness that others are experiencing. I shut off all the VR visual aid stuff and turn on free walking. I am really enjoying it and look forward to playing it a few times.

I just kept all that stuff. It's still a blast, but I need to replace some batteries though.



The nes looks shockingly good on my HDTV.

With all this retro bubbling up, this video probably bears mentioning :)

Yeah I know a lot about the foibles of old kit.  A perfect example is the ST that was discovered in a neighbour's loft. It lasted about 2 hrs before it died. Though it was the PSU (common problem, it runs way hot) so re-capped that. Nope, mainboard is toast :(

Still I have a lot of parts now. Got another mate grabbing his down from his loft and will take it from there.

Also due to have a Commodore 64 and a 48K Spectrum land next week... that should be interesting!

I just pre-ordered Bethesda's Prey which comes out tomorrow.

Hopefully it's as good as it looks

Is this one at all related to the Prey game from a few years ago? That one was decent (but kind of repetitive IIRC).

Currently sitting on my desktop waiting to play or finish. I'm glad I got most of these games super cheap cause it takes me forever to finish a game.

I Recently got a PS4 so I've been playing Bloodborne frequently. I need to finish Uncharted 4 and play through the new DOOM game.

I am quite interested in this, you'll need to let me know how it is.

This week so far it's been:

Portable: Mario Kart 8 on the Switch
I can get in a few races at work on breaks.

Home: Yakuza 0 on PS4
Such an "over the top" game, been having a blast.
