Post everytime you get ANYTHING retro. We want to know (^v^)

Might as well post my most recent Retro Arrival, shameless copy and paste from other forums...

When you get one of these from your Girlfriend for your 25th birthday, you know you've got a keeper!

Adam, get Cosmic Spacehead and Sylvan Tale on that bad boy!

Well my SNES hasn't turned up, despite being assured it was sent 48hour Parcel Force, but I do have some games.

Japanese titles

Cartridges.

My aim is to go for Japanese box art first (providing the game is understandable and then US afterwards. I'm aiming for boxed games as well. Joe & Mac was just a ?1 and I decided to treat myself to Wild Guns.

Was that castlevania ?23 on eBay by any chance?

[Strider]

Yeah after postage. Seemed much cheaper than the US/UK alternatives.
Bargain was definitely Super Mario All-Stars. Auction ended at ?6.50

Nice one Darran. Let's hope the machine arrives soon.

Well he's ignoring my PMs at the moment. So it's not going great.

[Mayhem]

Heh... I was going to say... was Wild Guns the most expensive title in that lot?

[Strider]

Nope it wasn't surprisingly. It was ?26 (with extra for postage)

The most expensive was the complete Zelda, although I'm a little annoyed because I didn't realise it was a Canadian version and thus has French text on the back of the box and the map. Still it's in really nice condition, so I don't mind too much.

This arrived today, good condition and complete. Only ?14.50



Then this arrived!!



Metroid is in fantastic condition and complete with everything. Japanese gamers know how to look after their stuff.

Half a step ahead of you Cosmic Spacehead was one of the first titles to get tested on here!

[Strider]

And the SNES finally turned up today. Not too happy with the selection of games (and less happy about lack of boxes) but ?80 isn't too bad...

Here's a few other games as well. Mario Kart turned up with the console.

This lot today. The GBA SP 101 is a thing of beauty.

Awesome!

Board swap or label swap I would say.
