I love when stuff like this turns up in the oddest if places. Nice find dude. Will you be selling it on or keeping it you reckon?
Ill keep it.. although I do go through stages of wanting to sell all my gaming stuff... and then getting all nostalgic and changing my mind.
On a related note, got Starflight for the megadrive last week, bought solely on a old memory of playing it years ago , the game seemed so vast. Haven't got a chance to play it to see if it was as good as i think it was.

Some are worth money, others not so much. It's all down to whether collectors want them or not really.
Sure, they don't have booklets or nice artwork, but like promo/beta carts, some of them are rare. Rare + popular product = worth. I'd say Final Fantasy VII being multi disc makes it rarer than your average promo too. Plus you know how mental some Final Fantasy collectors are about stuff
not sure about the older stuff, but some of the newer stuff can be great. most are just empty game boxes with promo copy not for resale across them, but then you get some great ones, like the God of War 3 one, with a Gold Coin, Scroll etc all in a wooden box with a slash of blood accross it (The Fiancee didnt know what it was when it arrived at the house, she thought there was going to be a finger or something in it). or the GT5 one in a big metal tin with artwork book, art disc and keyring. The one for infamous 2 was great, it was all in a battered envelope with fake photos, a wallet with fake ID and credit card etc like it was sent to you from a lost property office.
Mostly the sony promo media kits are good to be honest.0 -

my flirtation with retro gaming continues.. My RGB scart cable for my Sega Megadrive arrived this morning, along with my copy of FIFA 95. And I hooked up my N64 at the weekend too.. if i'm not careful this could end up becoming more an addiction than a fliration..
I fear its too late, tell your friends to run & not look back, for you will only slow them down

Jaysus Enternow, you fell off the wagon hard indeed. Nice lot of stuff.
So what'll be next? Some NTSC snes games like you were saying? Another cabinet? Endless possibilities...
I fell off big time, I blame Mr Korea & this cheap bandwagon gaming idea
On my next hitlist is:
Super Probotector,
Jungle Hunt, Venture & the horrific Video Pinball for the 2600
I wanna build up my 32X xollection, & get some more Jag carts too.
TL : DR? = More games needed than I have money to spend on
Glad to hear about Defender 2 Cidey, it looks like a massive improvement over the Defender port0 -

Ah jaysis will ya stop! Over the last week I've had 8 parcels arrive and there's still more on the way. Plus that GameCube NR reader is €200 gone straight away from my next pay packet.
I'll get my famicom out to you this week btw!0 -

There's a big difference between gay and bromance.Contra 3? Whichever I can source cheapest I shall get. I know there's minimal text in the game, is it playable though from menu/options point of view?
I'm seriously thinking of getting a US Snes too. The games are so cheap & I don't wanna have to use pass thoughs or ruin my PAL one by cutting the cart slot. I can use that for PAL/JP, & maybe get a US one for those ugly carts
Ah I'm only joking, If you can put up with the robots and have a 60Hz switch it's the same game.
Not sure it's worth getting a US SNES, they look horrible compared to the EU/JAP model.
