I picked up the original Tomy handheld version of Pac Man that was released in Japan before they changed the name. Found it in a local store for a bargain price and jumped all over it. A nice little piece of retro gaming history for my collection :D

Castlevania - dracula x chronicles. its symphony of the night and Rondo of blood on one umd. great way to get SOTN into your collection.

powerstone collection is worth having but can't beat multiplayer on a DC.

Never seen that - sounds interesting . . . .

Yes, am sure thats the case... but thought it was worth a look....

Is metal gear slug on the PSP any good, does anyone know?

do you mean metal slug anthology or metal gear. if its metal slug its worth getting. Can't vouch for metal gear though , as I'm not a fan of those games.

If you like Metal Slug its worth getting - basically a run n gun in a similar vein to Contra but without the 8 way fire option.Instead you get comedy graphics and ace vehicles to pilot.

Dont mean to sound patronising , if you already know that , its still worth getting it - its a great little shooter collection on a format that deserves it.

Second of my Facebook pickups, a PS1 lot for a tenner. Turns out half of the games are fake, so that means...chipped PS1! I assume that'll make it slightly more valuable than a regular un-modded one?

These are the games that weren't fake, all scratched (not terribly) and some missing manuals.

Spyro is in perfect condition...and doesn't have a disc :evil:

Thing is, there must be thousands of chipped PS1s floating about without their owners knowing - I was one of these for about a fortnight before curiosity got the better of me.
