No worries mate if you want to hang onto it for trading, personally I don't put much value into manuals on their own, so if you were looking for a lot for it I probably wouldn't bother. I don't think I have anything you will need SMS wise.

It's a real shame, I was also a huge Populous fan back in the day Phil. That game had an insane number of levels (and some were insanely difficult!)
It was my first ever "god game" and at the time I had never played anything like it.

Just out of interest, would you mind telling what was the shop was so people can be warned to stay away from it?
It's interesting to see places still have SMS supplies around the country, but everyone seems to assume that old games automatically mean big money.

Just watched your latest YouTube and I know exactly what you mean mate. The sellers out there are total nightmares now. Facebook is wasteland when it comes to retrogaming, inhabited only by mad-max style bandits that are just out to rob people.
I contacted a guy at one point about Zool, he wanted something like 50 quid, and even though I politely told him it wasn't worth that, and he wouldn't even tell me if it had a manual or not. Everybody is a bloody expert these days because they look up some dumb price charting site that doesn't even have proper listings for stuff outside USA.
Hopefully some of the guys here have plenty of spares and will be able to do you a good deal. If theres any specific ones you're looking for might be worth calling them out separate.

A day to remember indeed mate! I used to love going to cash generator back in the day to pickup retro stuff. Always had loads of stuff just piled up in tubs, this was before they went upmarket and started putting everything behind glass :-D Those Master Systems tend to breed when you keep them in close proximity! The thing about the SMS "Scene" (and I hate that word - scene) is that it's still small enough to feel like you can get to know most people who are really interested in SMS. This place will always be one of the core hubs of the community for me and like you I've met so many great people from this over the years. Long may it continue. I also got some really good SMS stuff from my (then) local Cash generator over the years but best haul was actually a Sega Saturn haul where I got about 30 Saturn games for a pound each, including stuff like Burning Rangers, Panzer Dragoon 1 &2, Virtua On, Fighters Megamix etc. It was a truly epic day. I really miss those kind of bargain hunts.

It's nuts mate. I remember selling a copy of it for about £6 when I sold a lot of my collection. It's a truly terrible game as well.
It's mainly just because it's a US exclusive unfortunately. The other exclusives like Buster Douglas, Kings Quest and Montezuma's Revenge has also gone crazy.

Another new arrival and its minty 😉 These are really hard to find for the master system so im chuffed to bits I used to have this but could never get it to work for some reason Was that the one up BIN on eBay? Didn't expect it go for so much considering the Megadrive version goes so cheap. But I guess there aren't really any other options for the SMS.

Well, I'm making good progress with my SMS collection goals, but still got a way to go. Would love to know if anyone has any of the above as spares, or spare manuals they are willing to sell. Give me a PM with what you've got
Cheers

Ordered the switch Signature edition. After all this time it's gonna be weird playing a new official Alex kidd game on a Nintendo console!

That's true, maybe even a nice little MK1 with Alex kids built in to play those codemasters games 🤣👍

Hmm could be power supply issue I guess? Is this happening during the epic #mastersystemchallenge event by any chance? Maybe it's the frantic pressing of the reset button that's causing the issue!

Ian, that worked great. Thanks so much for that. Much appreciated.!! At some point I'm going to have to try some of these homebrew releases! Seems a steady trickle of them coming out now.
