    Does the hanging tag on the Demolition Man do the recently discovered clicky thing when folded down?

    I found a game earlier today with that little piece of plastic (I think it was Comix Zone)..ironically, some moron had cut the hanging tag off!

    My Datel Gamebooster arrived for the N64 today. Works fine but that god damn song it plays all the time is driving me mad.

    One problem with the Gamebooster is that it doesn't play any sounds from the Game Boy game in play, instead plays a tune over and over, being one of the main problem with the game cartridge.

    Hahahaha!

    For that reason alone I want one. Sounds too odd to be true.

    I'm pretty sure that poster came with Megadrives..but I'm not 100% sure. Recently enough I got my hands on a lovely CIB Megadrive and that poster was under the cardboard. I think it had been there all these years and nobody had found it. The thing is mint.

    Which reminds me, I really have to frame that poster!

    Were those posters only enclosed with the console or did you get some inside game cases too? While looking at this clip phenomenon I noticed a few of these posters inside some games. Found an Eternal Champions one and a couple of the Sonic ones, the US version of the Sonic looks nicer, in-game pics on the back rather than artwork.

    These are the latest additions to the family, the bad news is that I had preordered Death Smiles but my 360 died before I got a chance to play it:mad:. Don't know if its worth trying to fix it or not.

    Now that you mention it, I do remember there beong a poster with Eternal Champions.

    Is this the poster you found in the games?

    http://cgi.ebay.ie/SONIC-HEDGEHOG-INC-POSTER-SEGA-MEGA-DRIVE-COMPLETE-/360327540664

    So I guess it did come with Sonic..the people who found two must have gotten one in Sonic and then one in the Megadrive box too.

    Sorry I meant the poster was of Eternal Champions, can't find what game it was inside now. Yep that's the Sonic poster alright, actually have 3 of them it seems, 2 PAL and one US. The US one has a different back to it.

    was it Wonder Boy in Monster World? the megadrive one(with a rubbish SMS port)?.. or Wonder Boy in Monster Land (the WB sequel which was in the arcades and had quite a decent SMS port?)

    Well, its the followup to Wonderboy III, and that I also have.
    Looks like fun, it'd be cool to find a repro of Wonderboy VI with the english translation, is it anywhere I wonder?
