only a small one, always loved this game and i think its on par with the arcade game, i dont normally like to spend more than a certain amount on console games, but it was my birthday, i was drunk, and i managed to get my wife to pay for it..winner winner, wasnt a massive bargain but it sems to have come down in price a little bit
Excellent version of Wonder Boy.

i think at the time, the Saturn was mainly doing arcade ports, while the PS was really pushing boundaries with new ideas and games, which is why it rose to the top, some PS1 and even 2 were just groundbreaking, im not sure we will ever see a console that will have as big an impact on the industry....its a shame its now in a mess(the console industry), luckily i still own all these old consoles and a PC so great gaming can live on
Never really been into PlayStation was always more of a Sega Saturn fan, but thought I'd buy one and give it a second chance. Couple of games turned up today. Still waiting on a couple of the Final Fantasys and Dino Crisis to turn up.
i also own a PS5, that has been turned on about twice in the past year, i just think modern games just have zero innovation
been asking around my dad whose a tv engineer for a crt fir my retro gaming for years, no luck. Today very long story but i picked up a boxed un opened monitor. not opened it yet as need to post about what retrotink i may need etc. you forget how big 17 inch crts are, they have instructions to open the box they are that big @@

Big fan of my vectrex, it's like a mini arcade cab and like nothing else. Thats why I can't sell mine. One of the few machines that just cant be well emulated or reproduced! Great find Retro Marky

If it has any issues. You can use a hair dryer or very gently use a heat gun to peal off the top layer. That's the only way to get inside to clean the contacts. Hopefully all is well thoughThat's an absolute steal! Well done
Nice! I've got a new old stock boxed 17" Dell PC CRT monitor and a new old stock boxed 17" AOC PC CRT monitor in my storage waiting for me to set up a couple of vintage PCs like a 486DX2/66 and a Pentium P100 if I ever get around to it!
