Teh Future

Ok the final part of my update today is some news. As our regular readers know I am not happy about the speed of the site recently, well I think I have tracked it down however in order to solve the problem its going to take a big overhaul of the site. Now because of this I am going to be stepping back into the shadows for a little while as I try to get it all sorted out, so what that means is that I will not be throwing up as many updates as I have lately until I get it done. I will continue to update you all on the progress to a complete collection but that will be about it as I ferret around in the back end.

I will still be around to post in the forums and stuff so its not like I am dissappearing, and also it might give AtariBuff a kick up the butt to do some updates as I know he has some great stuff to show you guys. So everyone should hassle him to update, throw a comment on this post and I am sure with enough name calling we can get him to do it.

You will know when I am going to make a comeback on updates as well, as you will see a big change around here. Anyway for now I hope this is enough to keep you going for now. I will see you on the forums and try to get this done as soon as possible.

Cheers
Defcon

INFORMATION:

Manufacturer: Nacmo
Product Number: SLEH-0004

BOX DESCRIPTION:

Perfect for fighting games or shoot ‘em ups, the Namco Arcade Stick is identical in function to the standard controller but boasts the build quality and feel of a coin-op machine. Featuring a balanced joystick with fully micro-switched action, arcade-standard button mechanism, and a robust all-metal housing, it delivers an unmatched response under the most punishing play conditions.

DEFCONSOFT DESCRIPTION:

Finally, the grand daddy of them all, the Namco Arcade stick. The best controller for the PlayStation 1 console. The build quality on these controllers is un-surpassed, its like having an arcade cabinet on your lap.

This is not a great example due to the box being a little beaten up however with the demand for these things still being huge and it sometimes going for upwards of £50 I’ll take this one and be happy to have it.

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.

INFORMATION:

Manufacturer: Namco
Product Number: SLEH-00003

BOX DESCRIPTION:

A new generation controller for new generation games. The buttons are used in different ways in different games.

DEFCONSOFT DESCRIPTION:

In my opinion there is nothing better for playing Ridge Racer (or any other racing game) than the Namco NegCon. Using the twist action for steering it really helps shave seconds off any best lap time and gives you full control of any powerslides you might accidently find yourself in.
