Two 99p charity shop purchases, shall be selling GT2 on since I already have it but may hold on to the Saturn game even though I don't have the console yet :P

Image

By the way though, popped into G-Force in Glasgow and they've got a tonne of retro stock in...NES, SNES (many boxed), some imports, PS, Mega Drive, Mega CD, etc. There's nothing bargain basement but it's all reasonably priced. Didn't get anything though as I couldn't afford that reasonable price :lol: Still though, if anyone's in the area I'd suggest popping in for a look :)

Soleil (Mega Drive) complete, BIN £10.00 + £1.50 P+P.

Not a bad price as it usually fetches around the £15 mark.

International Victory Goal is actually one of my guilty pleasures. It's not the greatest football game by any means, but the cheesy rock guitar soundtrack combined with primitive Virtual Striker elements make it an enjoyable 5 minutes.

Was just so surprised to actually see a Saturn game in a charity shop near to me and at 99p so I had to have it :lol:

Nice one on the consoles and games by the way :) Was beating my sis on Mega Bomberman just the other day as well :D

Lol thanks, I do have an AES already but no games for it as the availability here is... poor. So I can sell the new AES (which isn't boxed, the one I own is), and just take the 14 games ;)

There's a seller offering Twinkle Star Sprites for 1190 CHF... and Metal Slug for around 2200... ugh.

Nothing earth shattering, but picked these up today £1 a pop:

Zathura (Xbox)
Scaler (Xbox) - been after this one, doubtful it will set the world on fire but I'll give any platformer a go
Shadow of Rome (PS2)
Ed, Edd n Eddy (PS2)
Crash: Mind Over Mutant (PS2)

All boxed complete.

Just to clarify this, White Label is not synonymous with pre-production. White Label Dreamcast games are review/media/store copies meant for the retailing and reviewing industry to be able to test the game without buying it. They are usually identical to the final retail version and should not be treated as pre-production vesions aka prototypes.

It is such a beautiful day today so I decided to have a wander up to a charity shop that I never usually venture to. So glad I did though! :D

Got all of the C64 games + the Amiga game for £4!
The PS2 game was £1.50.

Ok then, they are pre-production as that's what it says on the disk :D.
I also thought they was the same, but you learn something new everyday, so thanks for clearing that up for us.

The JAP artwork on almost every game on any system is always way better than the PAL or US releases, just a shame we get the rubbish artwork :cry:
