Yeah they aren't dirt cheap dude. The only ones I've found listed at prices I'd maybe consider were in odd places like Ukraine, Bulgaria etc :dread:
Same with original Nokia N-Gage...but I did manage to get one of those fairly recently for free. In excellent condition too.
Really? it hasn't started melting yet? :O or was that the gizmodo....Quote:

It's more about sellers with hardly any transactions.
Ohhhhh fully understand then yeah i wouldn't trust that either, however i will look into some reputable sites if you like and see what's what. Alot of the sinclair spectrum gear / spare parts seem to be coming out of the ukraine too atm :S that kind of makes me proud that little machine still gets some love ^^Quote:

adlib you say......huh, ow much would it cost to ship it and how muchya want for it :D, always good to have one as you could use it along with a primary and secondary soundcard to get even more sounds if i rememeber (primary on music, secondary on sounds and then the adlib did a couple as a bonus).
The dream is dead!Quote:

I have a Mac out in the shed. I think it's a little older than that though...LC, Performa or something :shrug: can't be bothered checking atm.
Pretty sure the monitor for it isn't colour though.
Probably colour capable I think a lot of them are.
honestly don't think it would be powerfull enough todo either of those 2 but i may look into name, also has to have a 97 cut off as that was the last version of mac os' quicktime that could play system shock's soundtrack or something (it mixed it while you played and they took the function out after that point).Quote:

So I'm not the only person with three identical backup machines in case a piece of my hardware should catastrophically fail?
I don't have 3 identical backup machines but I do have backup parts for my desktop.
I mostly use a laptop though, and I have a few laptops but they aren't the same.
Yes, yes you are....wish i could afford that amount XD can barely keep the 2 i have going now (a win 7 machine and an XP....as stated was also building a 98 but, alas....pour awe, i knew him well...)Quote:

The shipping packaging was sealed, but the actual console isn't. I had a good look at it, the tablet screen has no marks on it, and all the wires appeared to be as they come from the factory. If you've ever tried to put all the accessories back as they were, you'll know it's difficult.
With the box looking unused, I Googled it and found that's the same for everyone. I would have preferred at seal at least, even if it's not wrapped.
Ahh fair enough man, I import models from japan and for some reason they always have to be opened when they come into the damn country (most of the time the actual model box isn't tampered with but they tend to be hamfisted so it comes scratched, dented etc). very strange, really does sound like they are really rushing the production ...and yes i have tried XD cables never wrap up as nicely as when you buy them :'(Quote:

The console was boxed, there was no security seal. It was placed in a sealed cardboard box for shipping.Quote:

Well, since my laptops are both old and common, I can find them on eBay/CL for about $100 reliably - when I first started using this model that was about $200. So investing $600 or so seemed like a logical thing to do.Quote:

Godzilla Unleashed (DS)
Steel Horizon (DS)
Also got Metroid Prime Federation Force (3DS) for $2.60
have you played that one before? I was thinking of checking it out.Quote:

I may end up giving it to my sister's kids along with Godzilla and a bunch of other games I have.
Need to look at what's there and maybe save some for the next round of birthdays :wacko:
Rated PG
"Mild science fiction themes and violence"
Amiibo compatible (unlock paintjobs).
Circle Pad Pro compatible.
Internet and local play. Download play.
If a Metroid game only has "Mild science fiction themes", I think we have an answer (in the negative) regarding whether it's good or not.
Godzilla Unleashed though... never played it. Most Godzilla games are utter shit, is that one too?
It's a game for kids :harold: They shouldn't be playing games designed for teens or older.
Godzilla has the "Everyone" rating, it's the NA version. I expect there's still some violence of sorts :lol
:banana:
