No, not locally. You must get them from overseas in most cases. I do have some extras, but only SNES is pre 32bit era, the rest all starts from the 32bit era.

There are so many Mega Drives scattered around UK, better buy from there. If you are still in UK, there are many sources of retro games.

Wow! Very impressive collection there bro! Envy you.. Is that the Super Famicom with the infamous UFO addon? You even have the PC Engine DUO R
.. Badass..

Would you recommend me getting a PC engine? I once thought about getting the PC Engine GT, but soon heard that the display of it isn't that great and that the graphics are squashed to fit to the tiny screen.. It's rather expensive now cause not many units survived. Many suffered from broken internal speaker and dead pixels..

Aww.. looks like you bought a not so perfect unit. Well ya, since you are there, would be a good opportunity to scout a decent one there. May I know how much you paid for the Megadrive here?

Have you guys heard or seen a Nintendo GameBoy Light here in Malaysia before?
*
I'm not sure what to say about the PC Engine.. I can see why it was popular in Japan back then, but most of the games aged terribly. I only play 2 games on it now, Gates of Thunder and Lords of Thunder, the rest I hardly if ever touch.

I had a Gameboy Light before, gold color one bought locally. But either my sister or I lost it, can't remember cry.gif

I noticed you mentioned Neo Geo AES, would you be interested in Neo Geo MVS instead? It's cheaper than AES in the long run for sure and that's the reason why I choose the latter.

Why don't you post yours first PhatPhunk? smile.gif

What you normally see on ebay are arcade boards, meaning you need a JAMMA compatible arcade cabinet to play it. I have one "consolized" to play on the TV. Thing is, such consolized MVS board are expensive to begin with, even more expensive than AES console. The reason behind is you'd need to get it powered up by itself, make your own controller ports, sound ports and of course the most important thing video ports. But in the long run, it's the game that drains your money. rarest AES game, Kizuna Encounter (US) costs you a Toyota Vios. Brand new one may cost a Toyota Camry. That's how crazy it is because there are only 7 copies of the game in the world.

I initially chose a Neo Geo Top Loading, loading takes too long so I add another CDZ to my collection. But with limited games I add another consolized MVS. Due to work and so many nice games coming out on 360, I hardly have the time to play any of them nowadays. So if any of you want to buy a consolized MVS I'm willing to part mine with 11 games tongue.gif

Considering the games I have plus the conditions.. I would estimate around RM3,200. That's not inclusive of all the shipping costs I've incurred, at least another RM600.

What are those 2 Nintendo boxes besides your N64? I'm not going to make my guess hmm.gif

You just don't understand the difference between buying and stealing.. I can proudly say I don't steal for my gaming habit, yet downloading ROMs are illegal activities, stealing the proprietors' rights of the games. If PSP is a solution, might as well just play them on the computer, even better emulated. Also, there's no 100% emulation, there's bound to be something missing, or else why would anyone complain about the BC of XBox and PS3 being emulated?

Eh 3rotor, how's your RGB?

PhatPhunk, if you notice I have few PAL consoles. That's because I bought them while I was in Australia, but there are too many games not released outside of Japan, so have to get another one. If I'm not mistaken 3rotor also have a PAL N64 and Megadrive. Not sure what's his story.

I'm willing to do trade you know brows.gif Plus don't have to include all the games, so it might be cheaper.

Anyway, I think I need to trim down my collection a bit. If any of you here wants anything from my collection shoot me an offer. Will put up my sales thread soon.

Need some money to fund my marriage and mortgage sad.gif

Can't post pics of my handhelds for now.. most of them not with me right now.

GG is pretty common in eBay, not .com.my of course.

I have struck a deal with a Japanese broker just today, able to get all the rarest gaming stuff directly from there. Will see how things work out, if it's good I can help fellow members here find stuff that never left the island.

I can, but the problem is I can't do COD (I'm from KK) most likely. So you'd be spending twice on shipping (from Japan to me, then to you). If you want something less common like limited edition this or rarest that it's more worth it. Can PM me your budget and see if I can meet your requirement or not but no guarantee, hope you can understand.
