according to wikipedia its available on the playstation network...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lords_of_Thunder

I tried to find it but couldn't, even on my PS3 in my JP account

Have you looked up "winds of thunder"?  The link states that as the known name in japan, which was the only place to get the psn release.

I was about to say the same thing.  It's the PC engine version which got a release, so most likely known by the Jpn name.

Well I did manage to get it on Wii U's Wii shop. Glad to have it. But the graphics don't look real good. They don't look as crisp as on youtube and is that due to my HDTV or is that due to it being an emulated game?

My friend isn't sold on it yet. He's still too lazy to get it and I have no idea why I care, but it's like I'm offended. I recognize that this thinking is unacceptable to me, but I don't know why I care what other people do lately. It's like they have to have or do what I do or I get mad.

I never seen this before, probably because it's EU specific.
So your choice. Do you want to buy a car, or a GBA with a T-shirt and a beanie? :)

I just bought a few of his carts. I'll do a review as soon as they get here.

I'm not a fan of screwless design, but curious to hear your thoughts.

As to the guy selling the slab, fuck VGA grading. That is all.

Fuck those snap together shells.

Just hold off on buying those for a little while. There will be something far better before too long...

I heard you can put screws in them, but I think you have to dremel it out. Then drill a small hole. Alot of extra work if you asked me.


Also speaking of the screws, is there a place to order them from?  I have some carts that for what ever reason the screw got rusty. (flea markets and pawn shops, what do they do to these things?)

I just had my 2nd weirdest Ebay sale.  I listed a "Star Wars Arcade Game" cartridge for Colecovision for $39.99 with a "best offer" option.  I looked earlier today and saw that I had an offer.  I was expecting it to be around $30 (as most offers tend to be around 20-25% under selling price), but the offer was for $39 - only 99 cents less than my price.  Needless to say, I accepted immediately.

I included a UCG with custom artwork (not from here as we don't have it - I don't remember where I found it), so $39 was a decent price considering recent sales of cartridge only for as high as $45.

In case anyone is wondering, number 1 weirdest was a baseball card I listed with an auction and a buy it now of $13. The first person bid, so the buy it now disappeared.  It ended up going for over $40 - and the high bidder was the first bidder who could have bought it for $13.

I had something listed for $9.99 BIN OBO, some guy offered $15.99. No joke. I had it setup to accept anything $8.50 and up, so I didn't even have the chance to tell him that he was paying more than I was asking, so I went ahead and shipped it. Left me positive feedback when it arrived.

My guess is that the item was showing dollar price even though buyer was in UK ebay.
Buyer then inputted pound price offer.

It has almost happened to me few times.

It can happen if you search for stuff on ebay UK logged in, and then click thru suggestions as it can (and often does)  jump to other ebays.

Had this new guy on AtariAge show up the other day, hoping to get some values on some Jaguar stuff.  It was a really IMPRESSIVE lot of stuff.  Several people chime in this value and that value, but one game he focused on (Battlesphere Gold, as an example) was slated to be valued anywhere between 250.00 and 700.00.  Also, many people offered to buy a bunch of the stuff and allow him to still make a profit on it.  What does this guy do?  He say basically "thanks but no thanks, I'll throw this game and the other stuff on Ebay and try to get the absolute top dollar."  Oh, and the Battlesphere game....he said he's going to list it for 800.00 or best offer.  Then we find out he's a reseller, and things go downhill pretty quickly from there.  Highly, highly irritating to me when people (especially resellers) do this.  There are many ways that guy could have come out on top as well as sell most of the stuff he got very quickly, but instead, he took the high value amounts that people were telling him and going above that for his price.

Grrr...my apologies, just ranting.  I'm sure some of this stuff will be on Ebay soon.

Nope.  Florida.  I don't ship int'l on eBay.

If he was Indeed in the UK and offered £15.99, then it would be like offering $21-22
