After staying awake for waaaaay longer than my body found agreeable, I managed to flip from night to day mode in one night last night. Wasn't easy, but I did it.So today I got up at 5am(ish) and sat around till a reasonable hour to text Andrea.
I'm liking this very much. So we may be 100 and something miles apart, but there's something very nice about being able to have a chat in the morning over breakfast, as opposed to me being fast asleep till the middle of the afternoon.
So after chatting again on the phone while waiting for a bus, I nipped into town to pay the rent, and while in town I chanced upon a new toy... and a bit of a bargain too.
Now I've always liked the idea of handheld games consoles, but have never really been too grabbed by the usual Nintendo thing. So how chuffed was I when the retro gaming shop I often visit had a stock of brand new (though long discontinued) NeoGeo Colour Pocket consoles, boxed, with 6 games for £80?
It's retro, it's fairly exclusive, it's certainly different.... and best of all, among the 6 bundled games... it has Metal Slug. I've been a fan of the Metal Slug series of games since I started playing them on a NeoGeo emulator on my pc a couple of years ago.
Much fun.
I should look and see what the other games are (haven't even bothered to look, coz I've only been interested in Metal Slug)
Pac-Man, King Of The Fighters R2, Fatal Fury: First Contact, Neo Turf Masters and Samurai Showdown 2.
Not bad going for a bundled collection.
