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

@RR529 Is that a new town in the 3DS version or a renamed town from the PS2 version of the game?

@Rukiafan7 'Disgaea Triple Play Collection'

What is that? I love disgaea never heard of that collection though.

It's a collection on PS3 that has Disgaea D2, Disgaea 3, and Disgaea 4 on one triple-layered disc. Yes triple layered disc, seems rather pointless since it'd all fit on a single layered disc lol! xP

@Reanfan7, regarding the town name in DQVIII (3DS), I probably just misspelled it (it's the town in the snowy region).

Sorry for taking so long to reply.

_{Sorry but that sort of thing is not allowed to be discussed here I am afraid. Thanks for understanding -Tasuki-}

@DiddyWahDiddy See my post above.

The Amazon man just dropped of a little bit of my childhood:

-Purple Game Boy Color with Pokemon Blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Also ordered a copy of Pokemon Yellow, which is yet to arrive

I don't know if this counts as 'retro'- it is a Legacy system, but I bought another PSVita.
It is the original 1000 model. I do love my slim but the OLED screen is beautiful.

The Pinball Arcade: Underground (Android) - A special version of TPA that's only available on the Amazon Underground appstore. It only has the season 1 tables, but they're all free (it's part of a larger program on Amazon's app store, where they offer various premium apps for free, and Amazon pays up in your stead, in an attempt to draw in users)

In terms of tables, I've played some Black Hole (High Score 1,500,000) & Attack From Mars (High Score 7 Billion).

I've also went back to Zen Pinball (Android) and picked up some of the Alien tables since they were on sale.

In terms of new tables, I got Aliens (High Score 63 Million) & Alien: Isolation (High Score 15 Million), but I also got a new high score on a table I already had, South Park: Super Sweet Pinball (High Score 128 Million).

So yeah, on a bit of a pinball kick.

A psone with screen with a ton of games

Ever since I've gotten a job, I've been buying stuff left & right. Here's what I got in the past two months-

-Final Fantasy VII (PS1 classic on PS3)
-WipEout HD Fury (PS3)
-Mortal Kombat Komplete (PS3)
-Heavenly Sword (PS3)
-500 GB super slim PS3 to replace my dying 150 GB slim
-Mass Effect Trilogy (PS3)
-Batman Arkham Origins (PS3)
-Bioshock (PS3)
-Ratchet & Clank Into The Nexus (PS3)
-God of War Saga (PS3)
-Sonic Colors (Wii)
-Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)

Can't say I've got nothing to do.

Ultra Street Fighter II

@Korosanbo I remember playing that back in the day. I always thought it was neat using a GBA and link cable for multiplayer games.

Sigh so my retro gaming weekend is not going well. The second hand PS3 I bought works but has been banned at console level by Sony because clearly the last owner was naughty. Then the replacement official PS2 controller I bought literally fell to pieces in my hand

Luckily I bought them via Cex so should get replacement or refunds (though slightly concerned they may not accept the PS3 just because it is blocked, however I will fight that). All in all, along with ill children, shaping up to be a pretty poo father's day. Sigh.

Not a purchase but just found these while cleaning out my closet.

Bought ARMS about a week ago. Very fun game.

@KratosMD Well Luigi Mansion 2 was made for the 3DS and from what I havery heard it's one of the best games on 3DS. I still have to play it myself along with the first one.

@KratosMD Yeah I haven't either as stated before but I want too. I never heard that complaint about a second stick though.

I bought a new laptop after struggling to enjoy Elite Dangerous on my lethargic PC.

Its pretty good for the price and should be suitable for all the older games from 2014 backwards. More importantly I can play Elite with some options turned up. It's got both a 128gb SSD and 1tb HD, Nvidia 950 graphics card, Intel i7 processor, full HD 17 inch display, 8 gb of ram and a DVD rewriter to play old games. Only £660 so happy with that.

Im a touch disappointed as it seems laptop's are a bit more expensive compared to early last year. for a 12gb faster Ram, 256ssd and 1050 graphics card the prices were consistently over £1000 searching yesterday. The same laptops were £100-£200 cheaper last year.

@KratosMD @Tasuki Luigis mansion is a rubbish game, I got it with my gamecube and played it at most a couple of times. Super Monkey ball was a million times the better launch game.

@KratosMD Majora's Mask 3D is masterful. Huge improvement over the original, and probably my favorite Zelda game overall.

With Luigi's Mansion 2, the biggest change is that it's split into levels now instead of being open-ended, presumably to give it more appeal as a portable title that can provide bite-sized experiences.

So to add to my backlog, I popped into a local charity shop and bought Heavy Rain, Assassins Creed 2 and Borderlands 1 for PS3 at a ridiculous £1.50 each. Will I ever get round to playing them? Probably not.

Also bought Hello Kitty for 3ds so my daughter can play that (that was £3). She managed 40 minutes of it before getting bored though she is quite poorly today. A new record though!
