Ultra Street Fighter IV

[Camel]

The best tat I ever had was an Atari 2600 multi-cart selector thing. Basically a retail display thing which housed a 2600, two joysticks and something like 32 cartridges, selectable from an LED thing on the front. All lockable behind perspex. When it arrived, my then missus made it very clear I wouldn't be keeping it. To be fair, it was huge. It cost me 6 quid. I did a swap with a mate for about 150 quids worth of stuff. A collector in the US offered him over a grand for it last year.

I had a multi mega and offloaded that to the same mate when I was desperate for cash. Yeah he's had some good stuff off me. I've still got tons of pointless stuff sitting around collecting dust. Would love that Atari thing back mind.

I had a Debug Xbox at one point too. A friend gave it to me because his chipped Xbox was more useful. I passed it on for the same reason.

Hmm... also over the years:

VCD PS1

'This is Cool' Saturn. They weren't lying, it was pretty fucking cool.

My mate ebayed his Super Famicom Bomberman multitap for a few hundred quid a few years back IIRC.

I know the guy who used to supply all of the big import shops (CEX / Raven Games etc) with Japanese stuff and managed to acquire this back in 1998 for absolutely nothing.

tat fighter!

[Camel]

Nice! I've never had a debug unit. Probably the most unusual hardware I have is a Commodore SX-64. I've got one of those ridiculous TVs with a PS2 built in too. I use it as a PC monitor

[Plopboy]

What !!!!!! the Bomberman SNES multitap is worth £100 (I still have mine)

I've got a 3DO and one game which is SFII surprise surprise.

[geldra]

The SuperGrafx is such a cool looking machine!

I have a white Japanese Anniversary Xbox that has my name and Gamertag engraved on it (because I couldn't think of anything cool). I'm not proud of it, I'm also stuck with the fucker, unless I sell my identity with it.

[Plopboy]

I like your plushy Bomberman, not that is quality tat and nearly as good as this

My daughters have been able to look at my Kitty but not touch. They have their own Kitties for playing with and Chun Li is mine. I so want the Bison Kitty. I am terminaly sad

Though I am keeping the mega thread on topic.

[Lyrical Donut]

Keep hold of it, it'll only go up in value!

Man, I was sooo close to getting a 3D0 just for Super Turbo. Luckily I got to try the pad out on a demo unit first.. and... no. Was the official Capcom pad any better?

This was probably my first arcade stick:

It was awful, even back then. But it was the best thing you could get until Hori came along.

[Plopboy]

Not sure about the official Capcom pad, but I did purposely buy a six button pad just for SF, like I did with my PCE, hmmm.

This was my first stick

[geldra]

Awesome Chun plush!!

D'nut, I picked up a Capcom soldier pad last year, it's the first time I've held one, gotta say, for Street Fighter it's a work of genius, very comfortable too.

Would it be cray to get a Hori VLX?

[Lyrical Donut]

If you can manage to source one for a sensible price with shipping I don't see why not. I'd love one. I definitely don't need one though.

I know someone who has one actually, and it's probably still in pristine condition because he doesn't even play fighting games!

Things:

That Atari 2600 multitap thing Camel described made my little heart sing. It sounds amazing.

Super Turbo on the 3DO was genuinely brilliant. Possibly the best console version of SF I'd ever played before IV. That could be my memory from the time hugely distorted by all the L skins of hash and orange bud though.

I remember seeing pictures of the Score Master stick and wanting one madly. It still looks excellent!

I don't think I'm ever going to stop playing Skyrim again.

[Lyrical Donut]

Yeah, the 3DO version of ST was the better version when it released, the PS1 version wasn't great. The Saturn version came along some time later. Dat pad, and dem Hori SS sticks!

I missed out on the 2600, but a friend had one. We used to hammer Combat. Pac Man, not so much. I had a hand-me-down Binatone pong clone thing from my cousin. I caned the arse off it.

[strawdonkey]

I've largely got rid of all my old videogame stuff. When I had it I didn't really have a huge amount of genuine useless tat, although I do have a Big the Cat action figure. Froggy is escaping with the aid of a VW camper.

Other things like the Dreamcast Guide to the Internet don't really require keeping either...

[imp]

GGs to everyone except Jellum, about whom I will be writing a strongly-worded letter to my council.

I still have that too And 2 VMUs. I don't even have a Dreamcast any more. Also, someone got me Big the Cat for my birthday once. I hated Big the Cat and he knew I hated him too. I seem to have lost it though, thankfully.

I also have the Parappa the Rapper soundtrack. It's got the lyrics for every single song in the game (not just the stages).

And these:

Managed to offload my long-dead Panasonic Q last year for £100 too, which was handy. Worst build quality ever. A couple of friends also had ones that died in the same manner.

[IgTerminals]

Re video game tat - I've still got this:

Amazing how often the word "cheap" appears.

Ggs. Great lobby. Cheers guys.

[Camel]

Excellent stuff in here

I've got the De La Soul Parappa vinyl picture disc. Nowhere near as good as that Simon Harris produced Street Fighter 12" that Donut brought to Heggfest of course.

[Lyrical Donut]

I've probably got too much SF related tat to mention really. Although I will mention the Gamest Mook DVD I've got, it has a bunch of wildly outdated Super Turbo combos and strategies and a 1 credit playthrough of Final Fight (aka Street Fighter '89). I tried to watch it once but gave up after 5 minutes. So dull.

And yeah, GGs. I like the way Jellum waltzed off before I had a chance to get into his head. IgTerminals was starting to download Makoto too, I think.

Oh, yep - I've got that too

Also!

Nice as it is, I'd totally prefer this instead:

[sith]

DONUT!

Please sell me that 3S poster.

Love

[strawdonkey]

Cammy looks like the distilled essence of Mental Ex-Girlfriend on that cover.

No, not EX Girlfriend.

[Yasawas]

Lovely stuff. Every few months or so I lurk about the Assembler Forums because I like to see some weird old shit and it's cool that some of you have a wee collection of that too. The "This is Cool" Saturn is just ludicrous, never seen that boy before.

[Qazimod]

I have days off for the next few Fridays if anyone wants a few games; my superiors were bugging me to use up leftover holiday from last year, so Weekday Fighter is an option.

[Plopboy]

Me hat want bad

In response I can offer up this gem of tat which is actually awesome

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Good games of street fighter 4 arcade edition version 2012 to all the men who I played that videogame against last night. Jellum did rather activate beast mode, though, the fiend.

Also, imp mashed through each and every one of my fame taps and combos, as he was entirely right to do.

[Camel]

Tame faps

Whaaaaat?! I did not know that existed until just now.

My friend had the toaster

[mayor_mike_haggar]

also I tried my patented anti donut sagat technology last night and it worked perfectly.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Anyway Desk:

[Plopboy]

Oh Desk you cheeky wee rascal, I wonder what his completed to dropped combo ratio is?

Back on topic I have a Parappa wash bag too

[IgTerminals]

Are any of you guys still playing strekken? Just seen quite cheap xbox copy and wondered if it's worth getting, or just stick with AE?
