I picked up a copy of The Flash yesterday for £20 including postage. Looked like it was in mint condition from the pictures so looking forward to getting it. I know there's going to be a lot of rubbish in a full set so I'm trying to get as many good games as I can to start off with.

One of my all time fav games arrives today, be interesting to see what it's like on the MS as the music breaks or makes these ports. And with my birthday a few weeks away one of my relatives sent a £50 Amazon gift certificate! Loads of MS games available on there too:

Quite pleased with the phaser wasn't over priced at £21 including Operation Wolf and postage. The box is missing a single tab but I don't mind.

Gah! I've been playing this for a couple of hours trying to get a good time. I keep flying through the early levels with ease and getting 8 passes each time but keep screwing up on the mountain road. I'll get a good time yet!

You raise some good points but the problem what you aren't taking into account is peoples memories and experiences. For those of us that grew up playing 50hz games it's incredibly jarring to see them sped up from music to visuals in 60hz. In some cases it can spoil the experience completely. I remember playing Mega Man 2 on the NES when I was 8 years old as it was my all time fav game for many years and I could finish it in my sleep yet going to play it on the "better" 60hz version spoiled it. The whole game felt wrong to me. The best solution is to try both and see what suits you.

There is always a built in game But on the first MS1 first generation you need to do a special combination to access to the built in game. Are you playing with 50Hz? Yep 50hz. Already knew about the Snail game but I was hoping to get Hang On. Didn't realise they did a system without any games!

I'm up and running! Wasn't best pleased with the console condition as it was absolutely filthy, dirt in every part and the controller buttons wouldn't work. But after a good clean inside it was good to go. First game to play? Enduro Racer! One of my all time favs from back in the day. Was a bit sad to discover there's no in built games.

I opened one up and gave all the boards and wires a good wipe down with isopropryl (I usually use it for cleaning metal cart contacts because it evaporates so quickly), pad started working perfectly

Just bought a model 1 and it came with 2 standard controllers. Neither seem to work very well, the directions are fine but buttons 1 & 2 either don't respond or require a lot of pressing. I plugged my control stick into the same port on the console and that works perfectly so has to be the pads. Is there anything I can do?
