You do know you can easily check wether or not a game is the same in Germany as in the UK right here in our database?


I do indeed, I cross reference here with http://dcarchive.segaonline.nl/About.html just to be doubly sure. :)

Not officially legit retro games, but I Struck lucky last weekend at a local car boot sale and found a boxed super wild card sms3201 for the snes with around 100 floppys, when the seller asked for £5 for the lot I knew it was broken but once I got it home and got out the trusty soldering iron I had it up and running within half an hour :D This week I have replaced the save battery and ordered a new internal floppy drive because the old one gives the odd read err. Probably my best ever car boot find for the price. sorry there are no pictures, what is the best site for uploading pictures to retrocollect?

I scored 44 PS2 games for 20 quid at a car boot sale. I kept about 8 games for myself and I'm making my money back selling to friends and on amazon.

Nice pickups there! I was hoping to go to my first carboot today. Set my alarm clock at 6, looked out of the window and my heart sank :(

I actually had two lined up. One for the morning followed by an afternoon one about 10 miles away.

Anyways, treated myself to a minifix with a few <£1 cheapies from Zoverstocks@Amazon.

Hmm... the in laws are here to visit. Haven't done Tropical World in a while. may pop in on the Meerkats instead (it's a Leeds thing...)

I am intrigued! Always good to see a big haul!

As said by Armadillo, big shame about the bootsales, I sell so have lost money cos of the rain, and obviously no finds!

I did manage these 2 yesterday, Mr Nutz for the collection, and DK is already on ebay!

To wet for my local car boot sales this weekend, so these are yesterdays finds from one of the many local charity shops. I was happy to pick these up £1 a piece all complete bar dead or alive beach volleyball, a game that I used to enjoy and a guilty pleasure of mine, I used to enjoy the casino element of the game :oops: . Very pleased with psychonauts at that price and the pretty hard to find ren and stimpy vol 1 umd.

The problem is you have to get good at the volleyball or you will not get many credits to use at the casino. In the end the playing of the volleyball felt like level grinding just to get me the credits to waste in the casino and on the skimpier sports outfits :lol:

250 for the lot, which is less than the going rate of the most expensive game in there alone ;)
