E3 Amigos

E3 is going on right now and tons of info is coming out about a whole host of new games and the next gen,The most pressing of current info is the Xbox one and PS4. Xbox one already confirming there position on Used games DRM and online connection as well as spying on you with the knect, So what did they have to make us look passed all this B.S and the $499.99 price tag.

You dirty Rat bastards Microsoft, I love killer instinct, And gamers are fickle, At this point Its like the console manufactures are holding this games prisoner waiting for you to rush and make bale for them and then pay the court fees, all while having a steady internet connection, Then when your poor and hungry and find out the game you baled out with your hard earn cash is guiltily of sucking you cant trade it in or sell it, Dirty and nostalgic why wasn't this killer instinct out on 360? I was about to swallow some hard creamy mircocock then this morning sony had something to say.

Woah! wait a minute I think Sony just single handed stop the next big video game market crash, Saved the Pre-owned games stores and made it seem like they listened to what gamers, Customer want, Play games offline,Trade share and keep the games you buy, Its a fine hour for Sony also coming in at a $100 lower then the Xbox one $399.99. I think best of all is Sony has realized We all don't live in the Sun kissed California lifestyle Microsoft thinks we do where we all have ready and stable internet and we use games that have been out a week as coasters after playing them. Now if some one can rehire David hayter as the voice of snake I will be happy.   

We start off with another one of them amazing coincidences, It happens more and more, I talk about a game with someone or someone ask me to find a specific  game and in the same day I end up finding it. here it is Talmit's adventure complete really nice con £2.
Few more items I picked up Puggsy £1, Paperboy £3 and a book for 25p Forgotten realms Pool of radiance, A book loosely connected to the various video game incarnations by the same name for NES and in the late 90s on P.C.


I was particularly keen on finding the Mega drive games this week, Being rocking this Atgames Megadrive to test out my Cartridges and inadvertently got suckered back in to playing some classics for the system again, Not as exciting as discovering a Retro console I have no first hand Experience with but defiantly drenched in nostagia.



This brought about my annual "Get the nes to work" venture, In narrowing the fault down to the 72 pin connector hopefully just been dirty, After a good clean up and reassembly my effect failed and it is on bricks, still searching for a top loader to replace it.
Few pick ups from block buster since the store is not closing down now they have started getting a few bits of retro back in, Star battlefront 2 PSP, 
Wrath unleashed and King of fighters 01/02 all 50% of the marked price, Well star wars was 30% but they scanned the 50% again, Sweet!


Burn Fighter Deluxe for £2 at market, Its a fun little shooter, Making use of the beat up GBA SP from Last week to test it.

Now By this point we can all gather I like a bargain, And most recently I have really been coming up trumps on finding hardware at rock bottom prices, I can however say that the following Item I found represents Astronomical value for money, Two entire British pounds bought me this.

A commodore Amiga A600 with Power adapter, Mouse,
Quick shot pro Joystick and a Mega Drive Fighting stick MD that is worth around the £20 mark, Let alone the £30-45 you could command for the Amiga. This is great for resale better still I have always wanted to play some of the exclusive titles for Amiga the likes of zool2 and shadow of the beast 3, And it give me a chance to test some of the Amiga games I have had kicking round waiting for eBay because I couldn't test them.



Likes these two copy's of hero Quest, Both complete and glad to say both working.

 
And this Crazy RPG Dkakkhen Where it seem as soon as I start the game all my party get eaten by a dragon.




The game above is BAT II worth £35 on ebay, £2 to find out this is in good working order worth every penny.


Blade warrior is last up, Tested out and has a really visually striking style and a more hands on type of game play to so I can make sure the joy sticks work.

Graphics something like, Lost in shadow or limbo, It was only then I realized the Amiga had composite connections on the back Red yellow and white pins, So I Return the RF I borrowed off the C64 and hooked it up to the side AV on the TV.





That's a million times better display then a RF tuned into a VCR. Can only imagine what I am likely to find on the thrift this week I haven't even be out this week yet!
