Mint condition The Grinch UK version arrived, not been the easiest thing to source.

Got it in a bundle with a DC and 14 other games for £50 so worked out very cheap plus I have stuff to resell :)

So this week I bought just one retro game... but it was wrapped in an arcade machine! Fitter (aka Round-Up) by Taito. Not sure it works but will be looking at it soon.
