Closest I could find to a 3D game being done was this: Link

Just a shame there isn't as big a home brew scene for this sort of stuff.

I've always wondered why they doubled up the ship on Blade Eagle 3D. Did they really mean to release it that way?

I was looking to buy that but the folded manual is too much for my collection Not to worry, a copy just appeared for £13 and I snapped it up.

I did spend a bit of time with Chuck Rock 1 last week but thought it was pretty poor Sounds like 2 is much better.

Probably about £20. I reckon I'll get it soon enough though just a matter of a bit of luck on eBay

Not an expensive game but one that probably needs adding to the rare/hard to find list is Alex Kidd in High Tech World. Doesn't come up all that often in good condition with manual, really annoying as I had the game as a kid and played it to death. Would love to get it again soon!

They updated the graphics chip, fixing a bug and adding some features. Sega never used the extra features (higher resolution video modes) but Codemasters did. Did any other companies use it to any extent? And does anyone know why Sega never bothered?

Robocod is a funny one, it looks impressive when compared to the MD and Amiga versions but it just doesn't feel busy enough and even lacking in some areas. I spent a good hour on it today but came away feeling a bit meh.
Another platformer I spent some time with was Master of Darkness. I wasn't impressed at first the enemies seemed way too fast (Especially those pesky bats and wax work figures in level 2, but once you settle down and become used to it there's a pretty good game beneath it all.
Another fav I've discovered is Batman Returns. I had similar problems with the difficulty at first as the lack of an energy bar means the 1 hit kills seem annoying but once you get into it and realise the extra lives are pretty plentiful becomes a whole other game. Must be enjoying it because I'm about three quarters of the way through!

Nice idea but suspect your problem would be the high price of all of those. Can't say anyone having spares and if they did surely they'd have sold them by now!

Called into a local retro store today to find all of the above. Master of Darkness was a bargain at just £12, its in excellent condition too, usually goes for £15-£20 on eBay. The rest were around £4 each in pretty good nick, the great thing is he remembered me from the last time and we got to talking about collecting. He's agreed to keep anything special he gets in to one side I really, really wanted a copy of Pacmania that he had on the shelf but out of the 2 copies he had only 1 came with a manual which was covered in pen marks.

Today's addition to the collection: Got this as a last minute auction bargain, usually goes for a lot more than what I paid. Its a good port as well, surprised just how good it looks compared to the MD one.
