What games/consoles have you bought this week??

[DreamcastRIP]

Finally got myself a job so can finally get on and start collectiong again.
Got myself sega bass fishing for the dreamcast this week.

Excellent fun with the fishing controller...can't get at the blinking game, my daughter's always on it

As you're enjoying the game so much I'd strongly recommend you also consider buying the superior Sega Marine Fishing (US import) as its a more balanced experience with a larger number of fish to catch, a greater variety of gameplay modes, more lures to choose from (16) and the ability to create custom lures.

The crystal is a very nice machine, I had one for a while. The b&w is good though and lasts ages on one battery. The b&w gunpey is better than the colour version imo - have you tried both?

Yep, I now have three versions of Gunpey - both WonderSwans and the PSP one.
Gunpey EX is nice and sparkly, but I love the music and the wild west stylings of the black & white one.

Ooh, today, also, got this:


That's not my one - mine was unboxed and missing the joystick, but it was only £1 and it plays well enough

Some unexpected finds at Gamestation today...

Firo & Klawd (PS1) for £2.99
It's Mr. Pants (GBA) for £7.99
Both boxed with instructions, but with those horrible 'Security Protected' stickers on them- I can't take them off It's Mr. Pants, 'cause it'll rip the packaging

And, courtesy of the Wii Shop Channel, Contra Rebirth.

They should have used that image of Sonic on the box of the 2006 360/PS3 game next to the PR spiel.

Sounds excellent mate...not sure that would work on an unmodded pal DC though?

It wouldn't but all you need is a boot disc. I've always used dc-x but I've heard Utopia works just fine too.

[Budly Moore]

Only bought Dead Rising, £7.50 inc postage.
Sold too much though, my SNES, Game gear, my CDi 450, a Megadrive with (unboxed) games, a few big box PC games, some Wii stuff, my Atari 2600 with 36 games

I hate being skint even after a big clear out.

Easy come, easy go I spose.

Ahh....cheers for that mate, i'll see if i can pick up a boot disc then, as my daughter is a (virtual) fishing nut!

Ooh, very useful, thanks a lot!
I have a couple of robot strategy games which consist of me selecting different options at random, and occasionally getting a short animation as a reward. This list now is indispensable. Is it from the GP32X forums, by any chance?

[DreamcastRIP]

Bought the following as a 3-for-2 deal at my local CHIPS for £20:
GameCube - Odama (CIB, including microphone) and Viewtiful Joe (CIB)
N64 - Banjo Kazooie (loose)

@ TwoHeadedBoy: Sorry, I don't remember which forum I found that WonderSwan games list at.

Sold all my ps1 stuff years ago, but I'm back on point now...Tekken3 turned up this morning Man I loved that game, hope I'm not too rusty

Bought The Simpsons Hit and Run this week after seeing a gameplay video on Luke Morse's Youtube channel and its absolutley brilliant.

Love the loose feel of the game, love the gameplay, love the missions and being a massive Simpsons fan I love all the "in jokes" and nostalgic touches, like the collectors cards from old episodes etc.

At first I was worried it would be like a kiddy version of GTA but its so much more than that.

Its worth grabbing all those cards in the game, you get an exclusive Itchy and Scratchy episode for your troubles. Only thing that slightly disapointed me on the game was the re use of a couple of stages later in the game. Saying that though the last level is really well done.
