Fresh in from the Netherlands, Shinobi X on the saturn.
I sold my original copy which was great condition and regretted it. But this one might be even better, near flawless! It's always difficult to tell with the cardboard Saturn games, so I'm pleased to see it.
Its not better than shinobi 3, but it's still very good. Another weird few twists from Sega on a franchise. It got a superior soundtrack in Europe versus the other versions (called Shinobi Legions).
The icing on the cake is the fmv stuff dotted throughout the game, just amazingly cheesy. They definitely took a leaf out of those million "ninja" films from the 80's which are hilarious with a few friends around. So bad they're good, have you in tears
For comparison (check the star wars rip off music at the start too)...

Aye....was slated at the time in a lot of quarters, but I remember picking it up on release and wondering why people hated it so much. I suppose it has found an appreciation over the years, with the cheese only adding to its value.
Dynamite soundtrack (on the PAL release anyway).
It's an absolutely shockingly ugly game especially when digitised sprites were well past their sell by date and everyone was looking to 3D. Still think it plays really well but then again this is an era where amazing 2D games like Rapid Reload/Gunners Heaven were savaged while singing the praises of uninspired stuff like Crash Bandicoot or.... Pandemonium!.

Found another use for that Ikea filing cabinet I posted on the other get thread, they're actually great for storing loose catridges. The drawer is pretty much the depth of a snes cart.
Can fit about 30 Snes carts in a drawer, so about 180 in a total unit.
It's an Ikea Helmer for anyone that's interested, only 30 quid!

I have about 100 more loose snes carts so think I might clear out a few more drawers and lash the rest of them in.
Should be great at keeping them in good condition too.0 -

Should you want to sell the old expansion (Chip Memory?), let me knowOut with the old and in with the new.
My old Amiga 600 1MB trapdoor expansion on the left and the new 1MB expansion with clock on the right. The old one worked fine, but there's a slight bend in it and I just don't fully trust it anymore.

Not strictly a new get but an unearthing.
Dug out a load of original* ps2 discs from the attic which probably haven't seen the light of day since 2006 when I switched allegiance to Microsoft and the xbox 360
* The cold air in the attic seems to have caused the disc artwork to fade over the years. Luckily I had the foresight to write the name of each game in permanent marker which ironically didn't fade

After recently getting into the whole ODE thing, I threw an absolute rake of CDRs in the bin. Was going to hang onto them even just for nostalgia sake (sure they're 'retro' themselves now at this point!) but saw sense in the end. 0

I remember my first playthrough of Metal Gear Solid was a dodgy Japanese copy.
Because it came on a CDr with no back cover... no clue to be found for that puzzle, so I was stuck for ages!
I had a legit copy and couldn't figure it out.
I totally over thought it and was looking at all the serial and barcode numbers on the box and putting them in. It was only when I went through and called every combination of numbers on the codec and found it that I realised I was an idiot and it was in the screenshot.

Just arrived courtesy of Kerbdog...
My new Colecovision controller!
Just tested it, works like a charm and games are so much better with a proper controller.
Also, plugged in to the console itself, is the cheap and cheerful Coleco multicart, now with dip-switch power!
