"Kitted out me ol' Cube"

I got bored of my Gamecube. Nothing against it, with 52 Gamecube games (excluding Bonus discs and counting the Zelda collectors edition as one) several of which I haven't even begun to play it is a slightly odd problem.

It's not that I've grown out of gaming or anything, I don't think that's possible. Nope it just didn't feel fresh or new... and there was no big Ninty game to grab my attention. So I kitted it out.

I broke 2 official controllers within a month of buying the console on May 3rd 2001 and my Wavebird's L button broke just before Christmas. So I decended upon the town of Bedford and bought some nice new gubbins for me ol' Cube. My precious now has a new Wavebird complete with working L button, a new official controller (coming in at a mere £9.99) and my two most gleeful items... a Hori SNES controller for the Gamecube and a GB Player.

The GB Player has been set up and looks pretty nifty and my new controllers look all cool. So I've been playing games relentlessly. Wahoo it worked.

Just thought I'd let you know of my little technique to get back into gaming, no need to waste 100's on the frankly gorgeous Panasonic Q. the Hori pad though is something very special. Playing Soul Calibur 2 with this controller is beautiful it is almost as good as using Hori's own SC2 arcade board. Using it to play Mario Kart: Double Dash is frighteningly remeniscent of the original MK... and using it to play mt GBA games via my GB player is like re-creating my SNES on the Gamecube.

Everyone by a hori pad, they rule:

Personally I think SR should stock them, it's a fantastic idea.

Choices, dont stock Nintendo items anymore.

I found that Blockbuster... or which ever video shop it is, use to have some bargins in for its games.

St. Neots now has the pretty cheap 1st Compute, he's improved a hell of a lot, and the other is a new store which has more DVD's than games but Solid Broadband adapters and GB Players (the latter at £29) called Entertainment Base.

We have no GAME, SR, Gamestation or anything like that though.

2??

When did the other pop up!?!

The only one I remember is that one run by that dodgy bloke who has been there for years and sells games at WAY over-priced prices!

lol

Mmhm, I did that once. But then I bought some new games, played them for a while and want to sell them..
