Heyya everyone, it’s been a while so I guess it’s time for a little update.
I’m still collecting hard but with the closure of my local indie game shop it has slowed, at least locally. On the upside I’ve been picking up odd bits on the end of bundles from CEX, it’s been a massive benefit to me that I can sell junk to them and then order (mainly cart only) stuff online. I’ve been very impressed with them thus far but I’ll add more about that — including another fluke — to the CEX thread.
A couple of months ago I was lucky to pick up a bundle of empty boxes on eBay, I hate having unboxed carts, even if my repro sleeves aren’t perfect.
Anyway, for this update:
- Choplifter - Cart only - Used to love this but was tired when I play tested it and absolutely sucked at it.
- Heroes of the Lance - Cart only - I love adventure/rpg type games but really couldn’t get into this.
- Paperboy - Cart only - Was expecting this to be bad, but to be honest really enjoyed my short session on it and will defo stick it in again.
- Scramble Spirits - CIB - Awesome shooter, love it.
- Super Tennis - CIB - It’s tennis.
- The Cyber Shinobi - No Ins - Sorry guys, it really isn’t as bad as everyone says. *runs away to hide*
- Vigilante - No Ins - I had memories of this being awesome when I was a kid; oh how I’ve lied to myself!
- World Cup Italia ’90 - CIB - It was cheap and in mint condition, as for the game, I’m not a fan, although I do have about 40 spare carts of this for the mega drive if anyone’s interested?
I have a couple of others, both phaser games, which I’ve been unable to play test due to the ongoing refurbishment of my CRT stand to incorporate gun holders and console shelves. (As a result the stand’s been sat in pieces in the garage for a month, the TV unplugged awaiting its return.)
Hope everyone is well and gaming hard!
