Topic: Recent Retro/Misc Gaming Purchases? (Not PS4/PS5)

@Metonymy cheers bud. In all honestly, it was negatively impacting my appetite to boot up the ps3 to finish off the last few games. Knowing that I’ll have a crispy new dual shock 3 has already given me me a bit of a boost. It’ll be Dead Space 2 up first (out’ve the two especially challenging plats) and while I know theres gonna be moments where I want to throw my new controller at the wall…I can’t frikkin’ wait neither!

@psmr I’ll keep my eyes peeled for your impressions 😄

So the NeoGeo AES+ is releasing in November and I can’t lie, I’m really tempted. I’d probably never play it tbh but it was kinda like the video game equivalent of a unicorn when I was a lad and I’d love to have one on the shelf of my gaming room all these years later.

Anyway, while I was looking into it (the price and what games will be available etc.) I found out that the 4th NeoGeo arcade collection is about to release on Evercade! So I just ordered the first two volumes (the third is currently sold out) but will look to pick up volumes 3 and 4 when I get the chance.

It’s kinda reinvigorated my want to collect every Evercade cartridge too, as I haven’t really bothered for a couple of years. I have a lot to catch up on though, so I might have to be a bit selective… until I catch up a bit if you get me. Looks like they’ve made some incredible deals lately though, with a good few volumes of irem, Taito and Toaplan arcade collections added, as well as a couple of Tomb Raider and Duke Nukem collections. The available range is quite a bit better than I ever thought possible back when I originally bought the console if I’m honest.

Currently on leave in the south west. Not many game stores around, apart from two CeXs. That said, I did buy a few PS2 games for when I get home.

007 Everything or Nothing - Don't know much about this other than it is 3rd person. The other Bond games I played were Agent Under Fire and Nightfire, and I remember enjoying both, though I also remember sucking at them, so will jave to see how I get on.

Dragon Quest Journey of the Cursed King - Been on a bit of a Dragon Quest kick as I have now played 11, 3, 1 in that order and currently in the middle of 2, though currently on break as I did 3 and 1 back to back because of the 2d-hd editions. Also the first DQ release in the UK/Europe/PAL(?).

Persona 4 - Don't really have a need for this one as have played through Golden on at least 4 occasions across 3 platforms, but it was in a very good condition with the manual and soundtrack CD. Glad to have it as part of the collection and will probably play to see the differences.

I recently got a copy of Tenchu Fatal Shadows for cheap. Looking at the box I can't believe I've only just realised that the Tenchu series are FromSoftware titles!

@MS7000 Hope you enjoy Everything or Nothing (which I'm sure you will, considering you also enjoyed its predecessors). For my money, it's still the best Bond game ever made!

I got those today

I never knew that there was a physical edition with 4 Zelda games on it
