Hello from Devon

[retrogamingblog]

Hi all,

I'm Ash, relatively new to the Arcade scene, as a buyer. I'm a huge 3DO fan, consider myself an honest and trustworthy chap who's been into video games since 85. I own a cmvs, but looking to buy a cab when we move to a bigger house. I'm a father and husband so lots of life priorites, but, I do have a keen eye on the atomiswave as my first purchase. I stream a lot of my games, and I blog often about the games I play.

I've been here awhile but haven't actively posted as I don't really know much about arcade machines, other than I love to play them all.

If I ever get to contribute more, I shall. Until then I'll be taking on the wisdom of the boards veterans and looking for guidance. I also love MVS carts, as I'm predominantly collecting in that area now.

Cheers,

Hi Ash, welcome aboard

 

[guddler]

Ash Evans by any chance?

Hello regardless

Not Ash Evans. Just plain ol' Ash.

I was actually guided here by someone from Facebook called Arcade Dreams awhile back, I made a few MVS purchases here too. Was impressed with the members here being pretty friendly and down to earth. I was a member of NeoGeo.com but the threads were so aggressive I never posted, same with the Otaku site. It's like being surrounded by 10 year olds.

I was looking to build a cab last year, even had the blessing from the wife to build one, but, our small house isn't right for it. That will change in a couple of years, and I plan to save between now and then to get some form of arcade cabinet as soon as we buy a bigger house. Live the dream, right?

Hi Ash, welcome - I'm still enjoying my 3DO GameGun I purchased from you, sold the broken one for £1

Hey Tom!

Wow, small world. Glad you got something for it. While my 3DO collecting is pretty big, I'm selling some of the games off - or swapping them for MVS carts. Totally addicted to my MVS at the moment. Two reasons, new baby and space. But partly because I've decided to keep the core games I owned from 95 that hold real nostalgic value.

I'm selling some of the American Laser games specifically for the gun, happy to swap for MVS! Pictures are in the 'for sale' thread under non arcade. Be happy to swap 2 AL games for one MVS cart. They're in immaculate condition too.

I also recently published a review for Space Hulk, possibly best 3DO game, if not 5th gen game. I loved it.

Keep well buddy, sure I'll catch you about the webisphere. Nice to see you here too though

I really want Crime Patrol, Drug Wars and Snow Job but I sold all my Loose MVS games Last year so now just have full kits of the games I want to keep

Will check out space hulk review, I've never played that one.

 

[retrogamingblog]

you need to play Space Hulk.

I'd be happy to post mine to you if you want to borrow it. Just send it back when finished.

You can play those (and the rest) with the Singe emu on the PC.

 

[K1ngarth3r]

I don't have a pc unfortunately, I would like to get singe working in OS X with wine wrapper or something, but still would love the long box 3DO versions

I think the games in question need the 3DO gun too, to be fun. Which they are. Terrible with just the controller. That said I had 4DO running, and ended up collecting more for the actual 3DO, I found emulators weren't the same without a lovely CRT connected. Part of that is due to my enthusiasm in collecting the original cases etc...

There's a site that runs practically every single neo, snes, MD, 32x, nes, master system etc game in the browser emulated, begging the question if emulator programs are on their way out. I'm guessing it's legal because it has every ninty game bar mario and a few select others. It looked official and I only found it as I was googling MVS reviews.

But there's also crime patrol and sewer shark on mega CD running perfectly. All from an Internet page full screen. It was an odd feeling seeing an MVS game worth £90, running in Google, and I have mixed feelings about it :/
