Retromission: Retro games & beers galore..

Had a great time catching up with the usual suspects (+Matt Brown & the RetroLords) and even had a rather nice curry!

I managed to win a Namco PS1 Arcade stick, that I have been after for ages in the Saturday charity auction. Along with some random PS1, Sega Master System & MegaDrive games, and a few dvd's of Mean Machines, Mean Machines Sega, Sinclair Magazines bidding was as usual full of banter and taunts ;)

We want more!

HD PVR time on a #RetroCollect #PS1 #PS2 #PS3 tip!

Collating some PS1, PS2, & PS3 720p Retro related video content for you all... Next step is getting in tune with SONY Vegas? Hope it's not full of masked wall climbing dudes with claws? Ouch!

Hopefully +Steve Smith will be delivering a creative intro for these & more with a helping hand from +Adam Buchanan, stay tuned.

Let's see your #£1RetroGaming

What is the best title or titles you managed to scoop up in real life for £1? I managed to snag this lot for an entire pound total this weekend!

The hunt for Project Zero 2

This is not #Retro, but I've been hopelessly searching for this forever out in the wild, only to find loads! I was actually given a sealed version too, #ProjectZero 2 for the #Wii found at GAME in Basingstoke.

Must add VERY nice cashier & service, 1up!

Samsung Galaxy S4 Android GET!

It's new, shiny, and I don't know anything about it. Time to see what's going on in the Android world!

Shiny Dialga? Caught'em all!

Managed to scrape up my Shiny #Dialga yesterday (On all 5 carts) in the local GAME! Someone needs to let Nintendo know it's not SUMMER anymore, brrr...
Do you #Pokémon much?

Introducing #TopDownTuesday

So I started #TopDownTuesday this week on Twitter & Instagram, lets see how it goes.. Possibly going to be easier for Nintendo Fans, but I'm sure the Sega crew will come through too. 

1st up is Bomberman 64 Arcade Edition. #Fact: LAST this was the last N64 game to come out in Japan.

Then a brand new Genesis 6 button Control Pad I've had for at least 9 years.

Finally Hudson Soft's SAMEGAME for the Super Famicom!

To take part simply lay the flat with the box art facing you correctly, lift the top of the box towards you, leaving the base of the front cover at the bottom. Then take your #TopDownTuesday shot from above, no rotating after (lets see how it pans out).

Weekend business

Invested time this weekend with prepping & checking some of RetroCollect's unannounced +Replay Events Ltd @PlayExpo line up, play testing and taking some pics.

Had a phone call with Atari fanatic Kieran Hawken, after he got in contact with the +RetroCollect Squad about some Atari Jaguar related stuff! More on that soon (after we have a few beers & a game or few at RetroMission 2013).

Oh yeah, I finished up EDF4 / EDF 2025 on easy difficulty! Nearly finished up the accompanying article, just a little more sugar to add!

#ManualMonday

#ManualMonday the elusive & last Japanese #N64 title: #Bomberman64 #ArcadeEdition only for the #Nintendo64!

RetroMission 2013

Just a swift note to let you all know RetroCollect will be attending RetroMission 2013 in under 2 weeks! This Retro gamer friendly event is held in The White House, no not that one! It's a cosy Oxfordshire pub, previously known as the Folly Bridge Inn. The games start on the 21st and like the beer will probably spill over into the Sunday.

There will be a charity auction and gaming competitions which we suggest you take part in!

Earth Defense Forces 4 (#EDF2025) Article inbound!

Finishing up the single player of D3 Publisher & Sandlot's Earth Defense Forces 4 this weekend (hopefully)! Should be hitting up the RetroCollect site soon with a finished article, what would you like to see included?

In unrelated news my Dropbox just filled up, not good!

Preparing for a re.play of events

A busy month ahead for me as we at RetroCollect finish up our re.play preparations for PlayExpo in Manchester (Oct 12th & 13th). Whilst we have made our initial event line up known there is still a lot more to come, including a few opportunities for you to Create-A-Challenge!

For the Create-A-Challenge competitions we're looking for something diverse and exciting, that will be run for a few hours with little maintenance (this is due to the volume of already TBA challenges we have ready to rock!).
Time Attacks, or Score Attacks (High or Low), Survival modes are all perfect for this. We're hoping for some unusual games to be opted for, and we'll be able to run Multi-Region games on the systems too.

You can find suggest your submissions for Create-A-Challenge in the following flavours/locations!
For Sega Saturn fans visit https://twitter.com/RetroCollect replying to this tweet using the hashtag #NoContinuesTW
Sega Dreamcast addicts need to stop playing with their VMU's a second and post here in the RetroCollect forum.
Sony Playstation Fanatics can jump over to this facebook post where you could dream up any PS1 or PS2 gaming challenge for us to place your name upon!




Then there's our hottest competition concept the #OneShotChallenge (you will not want to miss seeing this happen, trust me)! Where 14 gamers will go against each other on a hour long mystery RetroGaming journey to discover just who is King Of Fighters!

We still have a few Very Important Player entry positions available for both days at the time of posting this, get you tickets for PlayExpo now and get in touch with us now!
