Ah jeez, I hate it when it's me back to back in this thread, I always hope someone will buy in between to make me not feel so guilty!
So I got chatting with a really nice lad on eBay that I'd already done a wee bundle deal with previously, and he was good enough to drop the prices on this lot by a fair bit if we did a package deal. I'd been wanting to reign the buying in a little but the way things are I just can't see these popping up too often, and certainly not in this condition. All originals of course and the discs are immaculate.
First up its Summer Carnival '93. If I'm honest I would've just preferred to get a standard original Nexzr mainly because I love the box art, but both contain the awesome game itself, although '93 loses the cut scenes and is much more reasonably priced. The Caravan modes in SC '93 are always fun if you just want a quick blast trying to beat your best score.
Next up it's Cotton. To be honest this is just a whole post of shmups, but what can you do when the system has so many great ones? Probably my favourite game from the series, and I think the only one I can ever remember completing.
But going from games I can complete, here's one I certainly never have, though not for lack of trying! Image Fight II just absolutely boots my arse every single time. In order for me to get any decent distance in to it I literally have to sit having a session on it for hours so that I can remember patterns, I just can't just sit down and instantly get through a few stages, a problem I also have with Tatsujin. Probably an age thing.
Then it's undoubtedly one of my favourite PCE shooters, Zero Wing. I love the MD version as well, but I just adore the soundtrack on the Super CD-Rom, one to really crank the volume on.
The last big(ish) hitter from my wants list, Super Darius II. Never really played a Darius game I didn't like to be honest, and this one is yet another belter.
And just because they can't all be bangers, lets finish off with a wee stinker, even though I can't deny I have a wee soft spot for it. Rock On isn't going to be troubling anyone's top 100 list on the system, but I've always had a bit of fun with it. I think it stems from when I had a copy of it way back when I was young and I could afford much less games, and had to wring as much entertainment out of them as I could.
Now please someone else post a new arrival, before I find myself back in here posting anything else!

Just had a bab so can't get many big spends in at the min deffo a soft spot for Rock On recall CVG giving it a half decent review when it came out. I opted for summer carnival 93 over nexzr, its the sane man's choice
Need to get Image Fight II one day but I know playing it will be a humiliating experience heh.
