Shees, that is awhile. I got mine pretty quick, but it was probably luck. Good luck on finding the Bo, I'm curious to see how long it takes another one (even loose) to pop up. There was one other complete Ghostbusters before this, but Prophet snagged it before me. The only other Ghostbusters I saw was a boxed version a year ago with severe water damage. I did get a cart only Rambo over a year ago as well, but that's the only Rambo I've ever seen. I've never even seen a box for it. Hopefully the Christmas rush brings that sucker out of purgatory so I can finally put this chapter of my life to rest, haha!

I think you better forget about Prophet this year. He hasn't logged on in over a month, and I have not been able to reach him even at his email address. I know the last time I talked to him he said he was really busy with work, so I think its best we just remove him from the Secret Santa this year. Hopefully that doesn't mess everything up... If worst comes to worst and you guys end up with an odd number of participants I'll be happy to take part to help out... Let me know! That's a good idea. You should just send smscollect a PM about what you are looking for, what you have and your address. That way there won't be a wait if we are an odd man out, since time is ticking down.

Thanks man only Estimated Prophet hasn't replied yet. I need to send everyone a list and address but Est.P. is delaying us now. Does anyone know how to reach him? I need to send these list very soon otherwise there won't be much time to buy stuff for eachother. I think you better forget about Prophet this year. He hasn't logged on in over a month, and I have not been able to reach him even at his email address.

I got mine some time in the last year. I think it was £5, but I'm not 100% sure of that. krooper13: Good idea, but who's going to write it? And that's a complete one, too? eBay? Cheap acquisitions of this bad boy all around, it seems! Somebody has to be paying the $100 it regularly fetches on the bay... ;D

Mr. Cornut, I hope you are enjoying yourself in Japan, especially on this, your day of birth. When you get back to France you should at least have a nice gift of US games waiting at your doorstep.
Hopefully you find a truckload of sealed Mark III games today. Happy birthday!

Have any of you had any problems getting card games to work? I keep getting eitehr Hang-on (the inbuilt game) or an error screen with three of the ones I have, could it be the console (it plays other card games and the 3D glasess fine). I've had problems like this too - the card slot can be finicky. Of course wiping off the contacts on the card may help, and I believe there is also a way to clean the internal contacts using some rubbing alcohol and a credit card, if memory serves me right.

Can I suggest that instead of having lots of different threads we add a Guardiana style "the following members have this game" bit, if we mixed it with cover variations we could also use it as a rarity barometre. Oh and I don't have this game, but I do have some felt-tips and a copy of Heaveyweight Champ I think that's a solid idea, but I also think it's nice to keep threads like this and Smurfs 2 just for a more elaborate tribute to the hardest to find games, with stories, etc.

Alright, so we can't all be part of the Smurfs 2 club, but why not boast if you've got the US's rarest exclusive. If we're counting barcodes, I'm sure Sonic is the rarest (probably rarer even than SMURFS 2, if visibility on auction sites the last two years is any barometer), but I know James "Buster" Douglas Knockout Boxing is no slouch to find either. So in the spirit of the Smurfs 2 thread, let's make a list of all the people who have the game, and how it was obtained and for what cost. It could be interesting. The list: grolt (eBay US lot, -$10 after rest of lot was sold off, Complete) rupert (Gamestation, £1, Boxed) Policenaut (eBay France, $36, Boxed) Aypok (eBay UK, £5, Complete) Stan (eBay US, Complete) megasdkirby (Digital Press, Complete) blitho (Dump shop, £1, Boxed) coenak (eBay US, $155 lot, Complete) Benne (eBay US, $100, Complete) drrotule (eBay France, 15€, Complete) chunkchenko (eBay US, Complete) trashitall (eBay France, 10€, Complete) I'll start: Bought it almost a year ago to the day in a massive US lot with about 80 complete games, a boxed system and a couple boxed accessories for $380. I ended up selling all the other items (since Buster was the only thing I needed) for about $470, so with shipping and everything, I actually made about $10 on Buster.

Updated a few more on the list - I wonder if all the games had SM and ® runs at some point or another...

Good news, a hacker on the SMSpower boards has ripped and dumped the Japanese script for Tensai Bakabon, and I have just started translating it Looks like you all will be able to play it in english sooner than you thought! (Although it will take a little while to translate all the text) I saw that it was ripped (God bless Maxim) but I didn't know if you'd be taking it on. That's great news, man. That games just looks too crazy for words, so I'm glad you're actually making those words English ;D. Keep us posted, man!
