@Rudy_Manchego That's a great assortment. Have you played Metroid Prime 2 before?
I've been tempted to get one of those converters too but am put off by the price. The Open Source Scan Converter sounds pretty decent and is supposed to provide a good image on modern televisions. That said, if I had the room I'd rather get a CRT set; GameCube games in particular look stunning with an RGB cable.
@mookysam I'd love a good CRT but will be a struggle to find and then fit one in my limited gaming space. It is the OPen Scan Source converter I've been looking at and looks quite nice. If only I had money...
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
I was going to wait for REmake 2 to sink in price a bit before buying in, considering I'll be gone for around a week after launch, which is always the most exciting time to play a game, but I managed to score a pre-purchased Steam copy of the game for $45. I couldn't say no to that price.

@KratosMD Oh, never seen that before! But then again I don't play a lot of JRPGs, and it has always been either real time or turn based combat in my experience.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I barely played this game, to the point where I may as well say that I never played it. It just wasn't at all my jam in my youth so I borrowed it from a mate briefly and gave it back very quickly as it wasn't Time Crisis/Rival Schools/Ridge Racer/Loaded etc etc...
On looking at starting up grabbing Vita physicals again, the HD collection of MGS 2/3 has often been a bit of a curio for me - after shunning MGS, I basically avoided the whole series (apart from a very brief ownership of MGS 4) so will probably pick that up since the games are so highly regarded.
So I was thinking as my birthday is coming up and I'll have the inevitable stack of PSN credit, I'll be buying R-Type Dimensions (again), possibly the AC7 Season Pass and I'm toying with the idea of Metal Gear Solid (PS1).
Is it still worth playing?

@KALofKRYPTON The answer to that question will always be yes
MGS1 has the advantage that the main story can be blitzed though in 8 hours I reckon (probably less too) so doesn’t have chance to get bogged down in too much ridiculousness that the series became known for. It’s also designed for being played through at least twice with two separate endings available.
I’ve not played it in years but think the gameplay would still hold up well. The lack of tranquilising weapons, that became available in later games, also means a non-lethal play through is pure stealth rather than still allowing you to take enemies out.
Did you ever pick up one of the Fix it Felix Jr carts? I always planned on grabbing Sonic Classic Heroes but got waylaid investigating eproms trying to figure out if I could get it on to cart with memory back up instead.

So I had a day away from the kids and took a drive to a retro games fair. I had been saving up for a while.
Ended up continuing my GameCube obsession with a modded GC that has an output HDMI as well as gameboy advance player and is also region free. Then I got Zelda Twilight Princess, Timesplitters 2, Rogue Squadron 2, Resident Evil 0 on GC and lastly Super Mario land 2 and Metroid 2 for gameboy.
