Sorry if you've now had this message twice! BTW, I leave for Hong Kong on the 17th and I'd need your cheque or summat by then... These prices are pretty much street price, plus a fiver or so for postage and a couple of quid "carriage". Not a bad deal, I think... Why? I'm just feeling generous! Hey, it's Christmas! :-) RIDGE RACER 4 OR COLOR GB FOR NEW YEAR? If you want to be one of the first to play Namco's latest Playstation racer, Ridge Racer Type IV, I'm happy to bring back a few copies for people! The game is already tipped to be a Gran Turismo beater *graphically*, although the jury's out on how the traditional Ridge Racer feel will have been adapted to compete with GT. It's also the first game to be released that's compatible with Namco's rumbling, force-feedback JogCon - which looks like one of those funny "steering-wheel" remote-controllers with a trigger for accelerating, etc. It was due out in Japan on December the 3rd, so scour Usenet and any relevant websites if you're after some impressions or reviews. It also comes with a *free* version of the original Ridge Racer, except this time it's running in hi-rez at 60fps - if you've only played the crappy PAL version you'll have to try this one (arcade perfect?). Personally, I can't wait! I recommend you read the review of RR4 here: http://pages.hotbot.com/games/asmodeus/earth-review.html Alternately, if you haven't been tempted already by the UK release, I don't mind bringing back a few Colour Game Boys. Now, why would you want a GBC when it's already out here? Well, if the vile purple colour of the UK models tickles your fancy, fair enough. However, those lucky Eastern chaps get a whole range of colours to choose from, so you can be the envy of your mates by picking up a red, yellow, blue or clear white version! Plus it's a tenner cheaper... (visit www.saqnet.co.uk/users/nickf/images/colorgbs.jpg for a picture of them all). Get your games in the UK - there's v. little price difference and you'll get them in english... I get back before New Year, so your stuff would prob. be with you the first few days of 1999! My suitcase isn't a bottomless pit, so first-come, first-served! :-) Pricelist: ===== Ridge Racer Type IV - £45 Ridge Racer Type IV (+JogCon +T-shirt) box set - £65 Game Boy Color - £60 (prices include "recorded" postage from within UK) *NET YAROZE MEMBERS ONLY* I can't trust the rest of ya!
