Happenstance

Ordered a copy of Grandia for PS1 with that extra voucher that was sent to me yesterday.

I may go that route for some of the more expensive ones but I would like to own the originals. Suidoken II for example is £110 on CEX at the moment so I wont be getting that!

Ok then, got my list of PS1 RPGs I'll try to track down. Grandia Chrono Cross Breath of Fire IV Parasite Eve Parasite Eve II Legend of Dragoon Star Ocean: The Second Story Vagrant Story Wild Arms Legend of Legaia Suikoden II Xenogears Alundra Alundra II

Did any of you play the Parasite Eve games?

Gerrard will come on in the second half and win it for us.

Lol, I'm surprised that didn't happen a long time ago! Nope, never played Grandia. My first RPG was FFVII and then probably didn't play another one until FFX.

I keep wondering if I should work on my PS2 collection next but everytime I take a look through the best PS2 games I realise that its actually surprisingly accessible elsewhere these days and it feels a bit pointless. I might take a look at the top RPGs for the PS1 and try and get some of the ones I missed out on the first time around. I think Grandia and Breath of Fire IV were pretty highly recommended last time I looked.

So we’re you guys Mega Drive 1 or 2? I now know the audio is supposed to be better with the Mega Drive 1 but as a kid I just loved the design of the 2 in comparison and it’s still the only type I’ve owned.

Someone needs to come up with a proper way to play old light gun games on hdtvs. I know there are people claiming some stuff can be done but I just want something simple like a tiny box you can sit under your tv and register the hits. It was annoying buying all these Saturn and PS1 games this week and skipping over games like Time Crisis and Virtual Cop because I didn’t see the point in getting them.

I'm printing PLA 1.75mm. Using either Cura or Simplify3D depending on which does the best job for the model.

Easy question, Mega Drive for me. I'm sure its mostly nostalgia talking but that is where so many of my favourite gaming memories came from and I still think of it as my favourite console, not just Sega.

If it helps I a.so don’t really like Mario 64

I wonder where you saw that. I've just never particularly thought it looked any good and when I finally played it I thought it controlled terribly. Massively overrated imo.

Just finished adding most of my collection to a new VGcollect.com account as they also have an app I'll be able to use when I'm out and may want to buy something. https://vgcollect.com/about/happenstance

Oddly enough about 30 minutes ago I received an £8.50 voucher from them which I'm assuming could actually be them refunding the difference in prices from yesterday. Annoyingly though the email doesn't say what the money is for! The stuff I ordered yesterday has started dispatching as well but still no movement on the Wednesday order which is frustrating. That's the one with the actual Saturn console in it!

Got one last game from ebay just now. I still needed a wrestling game to play as I don't have the N64 yet for No Mercy so I bought WWF Smackdown 2 for PS1. That was the first wrestling game that even had a chance of pulling me away from Wrestlemania 2000 as a kid so it'll be nice to play it again.

...wow, this thread is topical once again.

Most are just a quid or two. Die Hard Arcade went down from £40 to £35. I know it’s just the way this stuff works and is best not to dwell. It’s just a shame as I could have added a few extra cheap games to my order from yesterday. Edit: On the other hand, I’m pretty sure Burning Rangers went up £25

😡 Typical! Saturn game prices seem to have gone down on CEX overnight!

I’m finding it harder to go back to. Not really caring about the characters or story, neither are gripping me.

Was trying to get a copy of Vigilante 8 yesterday but it’s surprisingly expensive on PS1. Got good memories of that game.

I don’t think I ever played any of the N64 versions. At that point I was very much all in on the PS1.

Boooooooooo!

I don’t think I ever played Tony Hawk 4 on PS1 which is why I got that one as well. Curious to see what it’s like compared to the PS2 one.

Oh I’d forgotten all about that! Still, it’s not like I have an N64 to play it on yet anyway lol.
