I have VP2: Silmeria for the PS2, but i don't see me paying £100 for a PS1 title. :lol: I'll find it at a carboot. :wink:


Not likely. US only!


Good thing that the PSP game is a remake of the PS1 game then so no need to spend that money :wink: . VP Lenneth is the only one I'm missing from the PAL set due to the instructions being missing every time I try to buy a pre-owned copy :x . Loved VP2 and the DS game is an okay strategy title with a few interesting mechanics.

I've got a (complete) PSP VP game somewhere. Pretty sure it is Lenneth, but cannot find it at the moment: it isn't in either of my main PSP piles.

To be fair to speedy, he wasn't far off. Imo, the NGPC looks better when the screen's scrolling under poor light though.


Wasn't expecting empirical data - cheers mate! :)

Here's mine well the thing I'm happiest with is the mint Famicom GBA which is boxed and came with Flash cart for £40.. The Coleco Cosmic Avenger box is unusal as I remember it having some masked guy who looked like a Cyclone, on the cover.. The Fifa I wasn't given for free I'm putting the Actraiser circuit in the case!

Easily my favourite Pinball compilation, the tables are great and I can actually remember some of them from my youth.

Spent some of my birthday money on sensible things - new clothes and shoes.
The rest I just wasted...

No mate, it was a place called 'Rounds' who do exactly the same thing as CC, but on a smaller scale. They often misjudge the current market value (both above and below) so its always worth poking your nose in to see what's in. I was in the right place at the right time again as they'd just been put on the shelf. There were quite a few other DC games too, but i know very little about the system, so just went with what i thought was the safe bet. :)


Is that in the shopping centre at the top of dudley? Or am i in totally the wrong place.
