I love the box art on that demo JSR. Me wants!

[MattyD]

So what else has Professor K done aside from JSR? I'm quite disappointed that he hasn't attained the same cult status as Richard Jacques

I'm pretty sure he also did Full Spectrum Warrior

Mega CD games from buster_broon arrived today, all are in lovely condition with spine cards. Shame the ones I played so far (Switch, MK, Wolfchild, Earnest Evans) suck balls. You know developers were lazy when MK is a MD port with CD audio... It's annoying.


Got this in as new condition too. Pretty good, but the second one is the best IMO.

I also got Shadow Dancer but I'm sending it back to the seller who failed to mention the manual was in **** condition, that the back of the box was a mess and that the label on the back of the cart was falling to bits. Some eBay sellers are just plain ****e.

Glad your pleased with GA3 Mark, thanks for buying it
I love Radio Sega btw.

Anyway I picked these up last week from Gamestation, I think the Mega CD games need resurfacing though but couldn't pass up on these rarities:



Today I also got a woodgrain Atari 2600, 8 game cartridges, 1 Atari pro controller, 1 good quickshot controller and a NES base unit for £3

And a Dreamcast with RF unit for £4

Oh it's you! Ha-ha, the e-mail confused me at first, now it makes sense!

Question, what is the Asian Version sticker about? I know it's Japanese (which is obvious) but was it one of those copies that UK based importers would sell in the 90's or something?

Hmm.. no idea, the ones with stickers like that normally have the Japanese logo but english text etc on the boxes, at least the ones ive seen have.

Perhaps instead of making an "official" Asian release, Sega simply took surplus Japanese versions of the game and stuck a "Asian Version" sticker on..?

Certainly the box, cart, manual and everything are in Japanese.. so perhaps it is "Asian Version" but if it is, the only difference between that, and a "Japanese" version, is the fact one has an "Asian Version" sticker and one doesn't!

[wheelaa]

Its is an Asian version.

Usually Asian versions of MD games are jp cart shells and UK instructions (like say Shining Force). But as you've noted GA3 is more japanese than that.

It does differ to the true jp version in two other aspects though (from memory)

One is that the sticker on the rear of the cart has different info.
The other is that the slip sheet that comes with it differs between the jp and asian versions.

Never tried the expansion before.

Picked up a few odds and sods from the car boot sale today for the princely total of ?39.

1. Megadrive Mk 1 boxed with Manual and warranty card, and all of the poly bags in excellent condition, box very good too. Is a Sonic the Hedgehog pack, although the game is missing so will have to trawl ebay for one to complete the set.

2. Nintendo Gamecube unboxed with 3rd party pad and cables in good nick. Also got Medal of Honor Frontline for it. First time i've ever had a Gamecube, nice little machine, will get some more games for this one.

3. Nintendo Snes in dirty condition so had to clean it up, bit yellowed (more than it shows in the photo) with 2 pads (one good, one strangely held together with short wood screws! WTF!?), Super Mario World and Cool Spot (carts only). Came with a Sega RF lead as original missing, as is the power pack so not been able to test it yet, looks like ebay for teh power pack............

4. Job lot of games, 15 Master System games 12 of which are boxed and a couple of Nes titles, usual Super Mario/Duck Hunt cart and Street Gangs cart.

Still, not a bad little shopping spree today

please... please make sure the first thing you do before playing the gamecube is buy an official Gamecube controller, those 3rd party ones are ****, horrible to hold and feel like they cost 5p to make.
You owe it to your cube to buy an official controller!
Better yet a wavebird! (official wireless gamecube controller)
although they don't have rumble.

Noted! I had a quick spin on the Cube earlier, the pad isn't too bad, but it's as light as a feather and a tad plasticky! So taking your advice on board matey.

good good should be some cheap pads on ebay.
Also it's a good idea to get official memory cards,

And 3 games i highly reccomend:

1. resident evil 4
2. Super smash bros
3. Zelda twilight princess

[Tetsuo]

Skip the first two games and he'll do alright for himself

Resident evil 4 is an incredibly fantastic game!
smash bros is the best selling game on cube for a reason! although it he's not into multiplayer theres probs not much point in it.
