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:

That's a steal! Man, the Genesis/Mega Drive box arts are so ugly :L

I picked up Resident Evil 2 (N64), Turok: Rage Wars (N64), Duke Nukem: Zero Hour (N64), Donkey Kong (GB), and Final Fantasy Legend III (GB) a few days ago at the local store for $15.
Currently working on Nintendo 64. SNES collection includes US-only Square-Enix titles.

My recent pick-up's.

Image

All of the Nintendo games are complete and from ebay.
super castlevania £24, super aleste £20, Zelda link to the past £34 and ocarina of time £10.

Also from ebay are the turbografx games £20 in all. The master system and megadrive games are from my local market, £5 total for summer challenge and road rash, which is sadly missing the instructions :cry: and £12.50 for the other five games.

TRK: Excellent C64 finds there, well impressed.
Mad Man: Nothing special? There's some really nice gear in there, strategy guides are always good to have (not for the game guide so much as it being a 'bible' for that particular game), also nice to see Marko's Magic Football, brings back memories.

PS2 games came from ebay as did the top 2 rows of ps1 games 0,99 euro per game. (local online game shop had a clearout so picked them up and saved on shipping)
The rest i got in a bundle and just kept what i wanted, not sure about the price at the moment as i haven't sold the rest off, should cost me around a euro per game. (or free depending on the price :lol:)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140268653175?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I just need a spare empty box for the Mega Drive game which shouldn't be too big a problem :)
