It's got some yellowing and other details but I don't care about any of that, I always wanted an SFC as I dislike the US SNES design a lot (and this was MUCH cheaper than the Famicom Mini I originally wanted to purchase on my trip. Prices are mental for those and sold out at most places!). I also got another official controller for it.


The European ones look the same . American ones do look horrid

But they have the horrid western logo and name! And they are PAL and blah
Sure, you can modify it, but this works right off the bat with no mods.

That Raid Over Moscow box looks great! I had never seen it boxed before.

It's not boxed, it's the standard wallet release! The poor picture probably makes it look like a box, only The Eidolon is actually boxed in one of those large clamshell boxes!

Last weekend I got myself a fat PS2 with a bunch of controllers (two broken beyond repair though) and a pile of games for dirt cheap. Been thinking about getting a Playstation for a while and this seemed to me like the best option. Just have to softmod it!

Went to a flea market yesterday and also saw a quite cheap PS2 with a few games, but I didn't pick it up. I never had a PS1/2/3/etc so I'd rather it goes to someone else who can appreciate it more..
I did get an HP28S calculator and a Goat Simulator PC game though.
The calculator was practically free, in quite nice condition and I still have (and use) my HP48GX which carried me through high school and uni, so I do like my RPN calculators. Just tested it out today and it seems to work perfectly.
I have seen the Goat Sim on Steam but didn't know that it was also released on physical media, so I had to have it simply for the sillyness of it (was also pennies)..

Toastrack for £25 is an absolute steal. Well done

Yes, from Alfadata. Infrared, of course. Runs on two AAA batteries.

I also have a wireless Amiga trackball, which is quite handy if you're using your Amiga from strange purposes such as presentations or gaming on a projector.

A 8bitdo SFC30 controller+Retro Receiver. Playing SNES games with a great pad wireless on real hardware is pure retro gaming bliss. Nearly no input lag (some tests on circuit board showed a 1/5 frame which is nothing).

The Retro Receiver also works as a Bluetooth dongle on PCs. All tested emulators worked fine with it, plus while the battery charges you can play via USB connection.

I hope 8bitdo will release Sega Saturn (Japan) and Sega Mega Drive 6-Button pads with a Retro Receiver in the near future.

Oh man I forgot 8bitdo had made a wireless receiver for the SNES. This might be finally the time I take the plunge for one, been wanting it for a long time but I settled with a Buffalo, but now that I also have an SFC, it would be great to have one controller for it and also for all my bluetooth-enabled devices.
