        That was the first game my brother got with his Pocket Colour & probably his most played game too

        He actually just picked up the 2nd Pocket Colour collection for the Switch because it's included on there

          Few PCE cheapies / goodies

          Comment


            Quite the haul this time around, been quite a long time since I bought so many games.

            First up, one for the lesser known hardware pile. Currently working fine, won't be surprised when it dies though.


            Some PS1 goodies, some cheap, some a little more costly:



            Bunch of PS2, been waiting ages to try out Gun Survivor 2, even though it looks garbage:


            SuFami and N64, annoying shaped Pokemon Snap box:



            Some various handheld, Famicom and some NOS VB games which cost less combined than Mario Clash used to before they discovered pallets full of them:


            And finally some other odds and sods, the game that got this pile going was seeing Rainbow Cotton for under £100 when people used to spend £300-500 on it:

              Been playing Psychic Storm this week, better than some more expensive shooters tbh, looks and sounds quite decent.

                  The bottom three bring back a lot of memories. Got all of those on PAL somewhere. Great memories. Alien 3 is a really cool game but I've always found it a bit too tough!

                    Yeah, I never finished Alien3 but I did enjoy it back in the day. A lot of pouncing enemies from just off screen.

                      Oof someone on a wild spending spree some insanely good grabs in that lot, your wallet must be hurting from mad panic coaster/pepsiman & geppy x alone. A really nice varied mix, i'm a sucker for the N64 goemon games you just need goemon mononoke sugiroku to complete the set however most people dont like that one due to it been a card based boardgame but it's a lot of fun.

                        Yeah it wasn’t a cheap haul, but with the value of the yen so low there’s never been a better time in my 15 years of collecting to buy stuff from Japan. I also didn’t actually go in with the intent to buy any of it either, it was just me bargain hunting, so buying lots of things that had just been listed on Mercari that were below the usual asking price. That’s also the reason it’s such a varied lot

                        I’m a bit disappointed at Mad Panic Coaster, it looks awesome but it’s not nearly as much fun to play as it looks. I will of course spend some more time with it and see if it clicks. Fortunately Pop’n Tanks is even better than I expected, so having a grand old time with that.

                          few more

                            few more, MERCS was an impulse buy, never played it back in the day.


                            and local facebook purchase that started this.



                            Added the mega CD, blind buy, sold as untested, still haven't plugged it in to see if it works, not overly bothered as it just looks great, and i dont plan on getting any mega CD games.

                              First up are some bits from a UK retro store, which I was pleasantly impressed with for both price and condition.



                              Some Evercade carts that came through now that the Legacy of Kain cart's available.



                              Then there's a couple of month's worth of Yahoo/Mercari buys coming through all at once. Gulp.



                              (we're off to a good start here - bought one of these a few months back and as I didn't tick it off the list I managed to forget about it and buy a second - d'oh)



                              Closing off some series / developer lists with these...



                              Now just need the box and the spinner, eh









                              (already had some of these, but they were missing bits)



                              Didn't even realise the 3DS game was an Australian import till I took the picture.
