Sly Reflex Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I don't upvote often in here, but when I do it's for a curio like this. You got a CRT to play it on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiofloyd Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Does the console make noise when it’s running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 aside from subltle whirr of atape deck, I would hope not. That being said not used one in about 34 Years so my memory may be hazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Doesn't it load the data from the tape first into memory anyway? I seem to remember my outrun copy had the game data on one side and the soundtrack on the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Did the Spectrum not used to make a screaming noise while it was loading? So, like 30 minutes of electric screams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retroed Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 And the splash screen that gradually unveils itself over the space of many minutes. What a time to be alive. Take me back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DANGERMAN Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 Bit of a mixed collection of stuff. Raging Loop is a visual novel that sounds interesting, Day 1 edition was really cheap and comes with stuff, not sure what yet as I've not opened it. 13 Sentinels I wanted to pick up before it gets really hard to find, it was already hard enough. Ended up getting a German version that seems to work fine but the cover is all in German, so from a collector point of view was probably a bad pick up. I also finally got around to picking up a HDMI converter for the Dreamcast, so I can play it easier 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I stopped buying German releases when they introduced that hideous rating sticker. It was barely a quarter of that size before and didn't have the transparent square around it, meaning it was rather subtle even sompared to PEGI.

Maf Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I agonised over this for like 2 days because I’m tight but I ended up buying Resident Evil 3 remake, Team Sonic Racing, FF7 and Dragon’s Dogma for £46 off the PS Store as they have another deal on. Spoiler But I’m done, that’s it. Spending money hurts too much but I had to do it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DANGERMAN Posted July 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2021 I picked up, via Ed, a Dreamcast I know what you're thinking "but Ben, you already have multiple Dreamcast". Yes, but this one is a bit different, let's take a look inside There's no GDdrive, instead there's an sd reader that runs Dreamcast rips. Spoiler The guy I got it off left the games on for me, which is handy because it let me learn what I'm doing with it. The interesting stuff isn't really the Dreamcast stuff itself, although that's why I bought it, but it also runs Naomi arcade games, so he's left the Fist of the North Star arcade game on it amongst a couple of other games, which is pretty cool I also picked up Little King's Story 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Sick. How do you double like something. That is cool. Out of interest what do you play it on? Do you also have HDMI adapters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
