Ooh very nice juste thats a pretty low number making it rather rare.

Wonder what the significance of the red & white string is in japanese culture i have seen it used quite a few times on limited editions particularly a few famicom ones.

You've never heard of the "red string of fate"?

People here typically do not see Blockbuster as a place to buy games rather than only rent so it is not uncommon to find very old games and other oddities in Blockbusters around here. But this blew my mind: brand new, sealed Game Boy Colour, three original GBAs in three different colours - the original release ones, I believe? - and most shockingly, a brand new, sealed Zelda Collector's edition bundle.

It seems ironic and somewhat wrong that someone who is not really a Nintendo fan at all made off with all this wonderful loot for so cheap =)

Oh and also a perfectly new/mint copy fo Les Schtroumpfs for the GG!

How much did it cost you????? :O

[usman]

$130 Canadian all in I believe (65 GBP at going rate) =)

Oh so it's not Blockbuster in the UK?

I've just picked up one of the "NeoGeo Pocket Colour with 16 Games" sets off eBay, gotta love those SNK fighting games!! I'm currently on an SNK quest on PS2 too trying to pick up all the conversions released...

Oh, and 1st post!

Twisted comes on a surprisingly big cart. Gradius is like the rest fo the seires, but this has some unique-ish levels. Boomer got some good reviews but it's a fairly boring maze/puzzle game. Avenging Spirit is great though - one of the earliest games where you can possess different enemies and take on their abilities; and you lose health when you are not inside a body, (supposedly it has multiple endings too). (2 copies of River City as I got shipping discount).


Great graphics, awful game.

Well it looks like I'll be searching for another copy myself, having got a little drunk last night and left them on the train home Hopefully someone will hand them in to the lost property office

In, what I can only describe as an amazing turn of events, I received a post card this morning informing me that Transport For London had "found" some of my lost property. It only turned out to be the Famicom Space Harrier and Chip n Dale that I left on a night bus at the start of the month!!

Unbelievable!!
