Shame on you sir.  that is a thing of beauty.

Ahhhh.,... The SNES.... when the games didn't feel like you could finish them in a day.  Nowadays its all about graphics and not about gameplay...

Dragon punch: the easiest way I could do it was pushing right, then do the fireball (down, diag down-right, right).  Would happen every time.

Next on the list is dragon punch training. Must be in fighting form (pun intended) when I get the mates around for a bit of a tournament.[/color]

So many exciting prospects. You know, here's a thought; don't practise too much before you set up the tournament. It'll be more fun for you and everybody else. I had a friend who owned SF2 Turbo, and he totally practised every day and beat the game six hundred ways backwards; and any time one of us would try to play him, he would totally achieve a perfect victory every round, and it completely sucked! There was no competition. If you possibly can, be equals with the guys you're playing - makes for more excitement.

yeah, training changes everything. Last year, about a month after I bought it, nobody could beat me at DOA3 anymore. I've stopped paying for a few months, then we start again, and there you go: I lose more than I win now ( most frustrating, actually ).

[color=66ff00]I'm not much of a naturally talented gamesplayer, my friend paul has a 3:1 win average on me in almost every game especially beat em up's so I stopped trying to win and started concentrating on seeing what I could get away with in a match.
Stuff like trying the same move three or four times, you'd be surprised how often I land the move.

Anyhow, sorry to say it magatsu but I'm in direct competition with you for that copy of bomberman. As for SF2 feeling slow it's 10 star turbo mate (use the cheat to up the speed) it's blinding fast. I'm already working on wiring a 50/60 Hz switch anyhow so it's all academic anyhow.

Got me multitap and zelda today and I'm now waiting on killer instinct. Woo and yea again.

[magatsu1]

Heh, had a feeling it might be you.
The Desert Strike seller has let me down, so I'm after that again.

[Martinus]

[color=66ff00]Gah! After cracking my snes open (I made a custom bit to get those blimmin security screws out) I found that it was one of the 1chip versions that was released later in the SNES's lifetime. This basically means that I can't perform the 50/60 Hz conversion modification. Ah well, I'll just have to do it to the next snes I buy.

Seems we both got beaten to bomberman Magatsu, I wasn't exactly up for paying 21 quid for it anyway. Oh well, more coming up all the time so we'll see what happens.

[magatsu1]

oh, I thought metroidd21 was you. No way I was gonna go above £20 though
I've got bigger fish to fry than bomberman anyway. (hehheh)

[Martinus]

[color=66ff00]Nah my handle on Ebay is jimmyninja, my nick from the counterstrike days.
[/color]

[magatsu1]

The only reason I went above £15 for bomberman 'cos I thought it was you and we had a sort of grudge match going on!!

I've a good couple of days with some cool games on my watch list too
Piccies to follow hopefully.

That username sounds familiar. Do you remember someone called "chunky" ?

My father was addicted to Bomberman (so was I to an extent) Great game for sure! You can get on the computer i think tho :/

[Corsair]

Not only that, but you can get it for GameBoy too.

[color=66ff00]Like so:

Replace the {} with []

BTW how much did shadowrun cost, seemed to be quite a rarity and much sought after.

Personally I got a copy of yoshi's island, flashback and a converter.

[diamondgeezer]

By God Yoshi's Island was good. Possibly better than Super Mario World, and that's saying a lot as SMW is widely regarded as the finest 2D platformer in existence

[magatsu1]

cost £25 all in for the cart, no box etc. I'm not bothered about boxes or manuals though.
that's pretty much the most I'll pay for a SNES game.
I saw Secret of Mana (PAL) sell for about £20 recently. that seemed quite cheap.

I'm watching Bomberman 1&2 and King Arthur's World.


EDIT:Yay! the image worked! Thanks man.

[Nico]

scret of mana rocks. If you disregard the ending ( where I got stuck coz I didn't have enough keys and couldn't get back to city to get some.

Did you say Flashback? Oh man, that game is awesome. Go Conrad.

[Nico]

I prefer Another World. Older, but better.

[Martinus]

[color=66ff00]Another world was fiendishly frustrating, it really got to me after a while and I never played it much because of the pixel perfect jumps required.
