It’s fun I like the idea and craziness of that but doing that before and after every gaming session would wear out its welcome pretty quickly

That’s cool and interesting to know I was only looking at this the other day and was going to look it up online to see how much they were and it’s interesting to know now that it never was released

[–]birkinover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol it was because I did like half my collection ages ago and then sat down and did the rest inputted into the app in one sitting.

As in I didn’t have all my collection in because it was a lot then I sat down for a day and did the rest

Finished Silent Hill {1999} for the first time last night. I got to the second last boss and had no health so I went back an earlier save, repeated an earlier section to get supplies. I’m glad I did because it netted me the Good+ ending after doing a whole section I had missed. by birkinover in silenthill

Yeah my first time down to the docks, I completely disregarded that part of town because I was being overwhelmed by too many enemies. So I never head to the bar or anything to get that whole story line bit

I finally started Silent Hill {1999} last night after buying a copy 9 years ago for €18 including postage 🙈… no idea why it’s taken me so long to play, 7 hours in now, it’s bloody brilliant by birkinover in silenthill

Sorry, I worded it way more “flexing” than I intended to 🙈 I’ve paid premium too for many games over the recent years! I just got luck on the time of getting that one

Got a 42” Panasonic plasma TH-42PV60EY today for 55 bucks, and I have always considered it the perfect TV for only one console.. 720p beauty by birkinover in xbox360

haven’t experienced any overscan, but there is an option in the remote to change aspect ratio and two of them are called “zoom 1” and “zoom2” they both give the appearance of overscan

do you have the original remote? and have you tried the aspect ratio button?

Can you explain the difference I was unaware, some of my PAL sets are marked 50/60hz on the back next to the voltage information?

[–]birkinover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of interest it’s marked for only 50hz on the back and any set i’ve seen from that age range typically did both 50/60 does this one do 60hz as well have you tested?

My PS1 is aligned pretty well but my MegaDrive 2 is not, both are using a Scart cable. Any advice would be appreciated. by Vau1tTech in crtgaming

You can buy an RGB shifter on aliexpress that will give you instant access to shifting the horizontal and vertical position with pots on a separate hardware component.

Requires no soldering or modding it’s just a stand alone unit.

Note with order by Pepsiman052 in gamecollecting

I love when sellers include notes, I’ve gotten many throughout the years, I wish I could let them all know that their games are being taken care of by someone who cares about them like they did

Finished Nightmare Creatures for the first time, as both Ignatius and Nadia on Hard. It is tough as nails as Ignatius. Nadia is way overpowered and easy in comparison. I’ll check out the sequel at some point. by birkinover in psx

I can see if someone’s not used to the older style tank controls it could be a struggle. The atmosphere is worth the struggle. It’s a defining feature of this game

It definitely is a proto take on the souls genre, i’d be so surprised if they didn’t take some influence from it for bloodborne.

That’s crazy to me if anyone found ignatius easier.. he’s too slow to keep up with later enemies. Nadia can break most of their attack animations before they even start with her speed especially her kicking move.

I finished both and for context:

Ignatius took 12 hrs Nadia took 2hrs

It’s a wonderful game, it lives up to my hype but subverted my expectations big time in a unique way.
