Nice one. Looks to be in good nick. Lots of them seem to have the Neo Geo logo partially worn off due to use. Tis annoying!

I took some photos of stuff that has recently come in the post. Apologies to anyone on dialup/slow connection. Must hate me with the amount of photos I've been taking

Symphony of the Night. German/French instructions but the game is totally in English

Future Cop LAPD. Haven't played this yet but it's in perfect condition.

Sub Terrania (Always forget how to spell that!) and Target Earth

Probotector for the Megadrive. Newish..no box though. Going to have to make one for this I think

Virtual On. Cheers corblimey! Also in mint condition.

Pedobear loves MUSHA.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Xbox). It amazingly has VGA support, and it has a replay function that the PS2 version didn't have. It was a bit steep at £10, though.

Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon (Xbox) for £2. Always heard good things about the series. No backwards compatibility, though, which is a shame.

Got Moonwalker for the Megadrive. For a decent enough price actually given the silly money it has been selling for since his death.

Supposedly it's another game with a couple of different revisions. First one has the Terminator in it.

Not a game, but retro-related, just took delivery of the RetroGamer eMag DVDs 1 and 2, 55 full issues of RG. I'm using them to decide if I should get into another retro console (PC-Engine anyone?) or eat.

The gameboy lot was only 6 euro . Camera was 4.50.

Seems you can get them crazy cheap on ebay.

Next step is to try and mod it with a backlight!

Oh ffs.

Won a gamegear tv tuner auction. Was all excited. Until I went to pay.

The guy doesn't accept paypal. To add to that, he's based in Austria.

Who doesn't accept Paypal in this day and age?!?!

:mad:

Just want to watch tv on my gamegear

Here's a pic anyway!

I've played it for about 20mins and am not a huge shmup fan, so not the best person to ask. It looks and plays alright to me, though.

Nice, picked one up brand new and sealed in a gamestop in the middle of nowhere in the states during the summer, best part of the trip! Had been sitting there ignored for years.

Would you not sell Space Channel 5 and Ecco on ebay as sealed games and then rebuy them? I'm sure there's a Dreamcast sealed game collector out there who'll give you a decent price on them.

You think? I've actually got quite a few sealed games (inc my pride and joy, a sealed REZ, mmmm), but I've always wondered if they're actually factory sealed or just really well done home-made versions

I had gotten Jet Set Radio from eBay which was sealed and I was sure it was done later on by somebody else to increase the value, it was only about a tenner mind. I did get a Typing of the Dead recently which was an original seal, it even had DC product registration flyer still inside and was mint.

Got Silpheed and Soul Star for the Sega Mega CD today. Just the discs, no original case, but don't mind at all.

Boxed or unboxed? I have extra copies of most of those games in one form or another!

2 unboxed spare copies of Mega games 2, 3 unboxed Sonic 1's a boxed Sonic 1 and an extra copy of Starwing.

God damn it I need to start selling my doubles! :pac:

Been holding out for the trading forum but I might just give in and stick some up on adverts. But ..ack..the allure of trading sounds more fun.

Actually Starwing isn't boxed, don't bother looking for Nintendo boxes as they are only cardboard.

I'd be up for trading some stuff too. I have quite a bit of DC stuff thats duplicated or orphaned, some GameGear stuff I haven't quite decided on yet, and a solitary SMS Teddy Boy that I don't know whether it works or not, as I never had a SMS.

Any reasons why there couldn't be trading?

Bought this today - (Note, this isn't me in the video, it's the ebay seller )

He has two for sale. One was a normal auction, the other had a buy it now of 150 sterling attached to it. I checked this morning and the buy it now one had been sold :O
So I thought all hope was lost for me on this one. Apparently not. Got it for half the price the other person paid. yay!
