1. Resident Evil 2 Special Edition
2. Evil Dead Game & Video Pack
3. Maximum Force Gun Pack

5. Mini Dance Pad
6. SunStation Pad
7. Tiltforce2
8. Time Out Video Game IC Card
9. Gamars Movie Card Remote Controllers
10. Dual Force Steering Wheel

So that clears out a few cobwebs from the update cupboard. How about a few more then?

So to break that lot down we have

1. Sony Controller Cufflinks
2. PlayStation Symbols Cufflinks
3. Deathtrap Dungeon Card Game
4. Die Hard Trilogy Dog Tags
5. Tank Racer Bottle Opener and Beer Mat

I also heard that the Fairy Ataribuff has had a nice acquisition recently that he may show off to us all but only if you are good, go to bed on time, eat all your greens and brush your teeth twice a day.

Take it easy chaps and chappesses.

Peripherals detailed:-

PlayStation Promotional Medical Pack

Dear Sir,

I am writing as a matter of urgency with your scan results – they reveal early stages of a progressive condition for which I am prescribing immeadiate treatment.

Acute lack of stimulation of the sensory organs has resulted in a marked deterioration of the digi-ocular (thumb/eye) co-ordination, this is potentially serious but treatable with any of the three non-prescrition options detailed on the enclosed X-rays.

There are the latest medical treatments available and the earlier you start the course of therapy, the more likely a full recovery will be. Please make an immeadiate appointment with your local consultant so you can qualify for free Thumb Protectors to aid your rehabilitation (see reverse of card).

I also urge you take full advantage of the 2 free Hand Conditioning Devices (see reverse of card) if you find any friends displaying similar symptoms.

My best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

Dr Bosconovitch

TREATMENT:
Immeadiiate treatment strongly recommended to counter the decreased digi-ocular co-ordination. CHoose from the three courses of non-prescription medication deatilaed. Consider Thumb Protectors and Hand Conditioning Devices for physio-therapeutic uses.

TEKKEN 3:
The mother of all fighting games – official – with amazing graphics, 360?? battle system and superb animation. There are 23 extraordinary characters (you’ll soon find your favourite), with over 1,000 moves. Master them or it’s game over.

“The best fighting game in the world ever”.
10/10 Official PlayStation Magazine

“The most promising film licence to appear this year.”
Total PlayStation

MEDIEVAL:
This offical Dual Shock compatible, 3D action adventure game will provide you with the perfect balance of shoot’em up action with exploration and puzzle solving. Sir Daniel Fortesque is an action hero with a difference – he’s dead. You and he must defeat the evil sorceror Zarok and the crazed victions of his magic before he can return to his grave and rest in peace.

“It dances on the graves of a crowd of other games like it”
92% PlayStation Plus

This is a pack of promotional material sent out by Sony to advertise Tekken 3, The Fifth Element, Medieval and the PlayStation itself. Dressed up like a mock medical report and including X-Ray scans of the games and a persons skull it allowed people to send off for Hand Conditioners (like the above brain stress toy) and Thumb Protectors (not present). It also contains a sheet of paper detailing different hardware available from Sony including the Namco Arcade Stick, the Multi-Tap and Dual Shock controllers. It also contains a section on Shiny Entertainment’s Wild 9.

Blown Away Promo Video

From the back of the case
Playstation state of the art technology delivers immense speed combined with stunning graphics and CD quality sound far exceeding anything possible on storage restricted cartridge systems.

Designed soley to create the most immersive gaming experiences possible, its stunning ability to bring arcade quality 3D environments into the home has made PlayStation Sony’s most successful launch since the Walkman.

With an established games catalogue already exceeding 250 titles and 120 new PlayStation experiences planned for release in 1997, the PlayStation is without doubt the number one Next Generation console available.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PLAYSTATION

This is a promotional video from Sony themselves basically pimping up the PlayStation and what it can do. It contains footage of several games including Crash Bandicoot, Tekken 2, Dark Forces, Rage Racer, and Soul Blade.

…the Nike Air Force 1 PlayStation trainers. Now I had a sneaky suspicion that they were actually fakes and I still do not know for sure, I have however since then sourced another pair which will hopefully arrive soon. However something else that has been brought to my attention is this following post on gamesniped.com.

Nike Air Force 1 PlayStation Edition

If you click on the link you will see that the pair on auction are currently going for $1000.

$1000!!!!!!!!!!! You have got to be kidding me right, do people really pay that much for shoes. Well apparently yes as this Forbes.com article shows. Infact they go for over $2000 in some places. Are people mad? Well yes people are mad, looks at me and PS1 stuff.

And if you really want the limited edition versions and cannot be bothered to wait well you could always try FlipJays.com if you got a spare $2500.

Well with that out of the way how about my update for today. Well I have a gun pack for you…..

Yes thats right finally managed to get hold of one of these, I think both AtariBuff and myself have had problems actually getting one of these but now I believe we both have it. Its a great game on its own, packed with the gun just makes it greater.

Tomorrow we go very very rare!!!!

Cheers

Took me a while to get hold of one of these but it is finally in my colelction. Die Hard Trilogy and Scorpion gun packed together in a French boxset. Die Hard Trilogy still remains as one of my all time favourite games and I remember wasting several lunch hours at EA playing this thing while it was still in test.

So lets start with….

A nice set of playing cards to advertise Die Hard Trilogy 2 on PC-CD and PS1. And to go with those why not have some…

Yep 2 promo packs of cards, I will have to get my poker head on one of these days and throw these around during our poker night at work for a chuckle.

Next up something for Ataribuff…

A nice Dance UK record bag with the Dance UK logo in bright pink, his favourite colour.

Now something a little different…

A set of four postcards used to advertise Fear Effect 2 Retro Helix. These are in stunning condition considering they were given out in cinemas and such like.

And finally this weird little fellow from Lady Defcon herself…

She said it was cute and that I had to buy it, so I did, all the way from the good old old USofA. A promo keychain of one of the characters from the game I believe. Looks like a cross between a frog and a walrus if you ask me but you know these women, they always get what they want. (As usual these ahve all been filed under the Other Stuff section.)

Well thats it for today, tune in tomorrow for something that lets you play games and enjoy your most favourite one handed pastime.

Cheers

DEFCONSOFT DESCRIPTION:

Die Hard Trilogy was one of the greatest games to come out on the PlayStation in my honest opinion. The second game still had the correct formula of the first and here we have it bundled together with a Scorpion light gun. Now if only they had packed in a NegCon for the driving sections it would of been the greatest box set ever. This was a French only release.
