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

Another couple of after Christmas retro purchases for me

I finally got Bloodborne. For only 29.99, I couldn't resist it. Now I only have to find some time to play the game...

@Octane: I thought Bloodborne was a PS4 exclusive?

@Tasuki: Didn't know this thread was for anything but PS4 games.

@Octane: Lol no worries I should change the thread title but yeah we have a PS4 purchase thread.

God knows why - but I'm knee deep in games and I've just bought the Unreal collection PC; unreal 1 and 2, unreal tournament and all of the add ons for £4.75 - epic!

I've also just tried to buy Elite dangerous dvd collection for £12 (that's a bargain by the way) for my son - cant remember my log in details to the official site and have had issues sorting it out - so I ending up buying him other stuff away from the elite official site, including 1001 games to play before you die book and a dongle I think to play x1 on his pc and a BB8 pad for his x1. I'm never going on the PC again I end up buying stuff for no reason other than I can.

I received a Retron 5 for Christmas, along with a bunch of some of my favourite Mega Drive games:-

Sonic 1, 2, Sonic & Knuckles
Ristar
Aladdin
The Lion King
Castle of Illusion
One or two others I can't remember right now.

It's a really awesome console that can play Mega Drive, NES, SNES, Famicom and Gameboy/GBA games. I'm gonna start having a think about some NES/SNES games that I missed out on (never had either of those systems) and try to pick them up on the cheap

Not exactly a game, but I resonantly purchased a NYKO PSX AV Multi-Out adapter cable for my PS2 so I can upgrade to a component cable on the PS2 and still use my GunCon light guns on the CRT TV downstairs. Had the Namco adapter years ago but couldn't find it, somebody must have needed it more than me.
The grey thing in the middle of the picture.

@Quintumply: Don't forget to look at getting some gamepads the ones the Retron 5 come with are less than desirable. The Hyperkin Genesis GN6 gamepad is nice I have the USB one I use on my PS3 and it feels just like the genuine Sega Genesis 6-Button MK-1653 gamepad with only difference being the conductive silicone rubber use inside is stiffer than the MK-1653 and the wight is lighter.

@EyeDeeNO76: Yeah, the controller is pretty bad, have to say. I'm sure I've got some Mega Drive controllers somewhere, I'll have to dig them out, or look into getting an alternative

Just purchased Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS on Amazon! Should be here by sometime next week

@Quintumply: Man whenever I play my Genesis it has to be the six button controller, in fact I don't think I own any original Genny controllers lol.

@RR529: Nice!!! I have the Wii U version but, I just can't get into Smash games. You going to get all the DLC?

Probably not all at once, but I'll get it all eventually. Probably going to start out with Mewtwo, followed by either Cloud, Corrin, or Ryu.

Ah I love the Smash Bros games. It works surprisingly well on the 3DS! I don't own it on Wii U but I've played it a lot, and it just doesn't seem to get old. Really awesome game, good choice

@Quintumply: I don't know I just can't get into them and I tried. I can appreciate the Smash Bros games but they are just not for me.

I got Jade Empire, If My Heart Had Wings, and Sir, You are being Hunted on the holiday Steam sale.

@Jaz007: Jade Empire is such an awesome game. If you liked KotOR and Dragon Age you will like Jade Empire. It's a shame that that never got a sequel.

@Tasuki: I think Smash Bros. plays best as a local multiplayer. I've great memories of playing Smash Bros. on the N64 and GameCube with friends. I've only played Smash Bros U on my own, it's still good, but I've put nowhere near as much time in it as I would when I would've been playing with other people. Online multiplayer is okay, but nowhere near as fun as local.
