wanted one of these for ages played a bit of wrestlefest and Simpsons
arcade on it to test it and then the next day played a whole bunch of fighting games with my daughter, it was a lot of fun going through stuff from my old arcade days sat in the comfort of my own home, a real flashback to when I used to actually own a Jamma arcade Cabinet.
On the 28th when I grabbed two PS1 games today from a charity shop. I got StarTrek invasion complete for £1 and Apocalypse complete for £1
I ended the month on the 29th when I grabbed two games nothing major but nice and cheap Scarface complete for ps2 for 25pence and Lord of the rings return of the King complete for ps2 for 25pence not a bad end to the month really.
If I have added this up properly this means I spent £306 this momth on retro games which is probably an all time high record for me, everyone deserves a treat now and then though I guess.
