Just bought:
Last Blade MVS cart (upgrade from my NGCD version... no more load times!)
Taisen Tanto-R Sega ST-V cart (last game in the Mega Puzzle & Action series... 1998 JPN arcade game that never had a home release)

Only $10 each, but postage from China was almost $20. They should get here sometime in May.

Great price.. Really need to look at another big purchase.. Maybe a Neo Geo of some sort.

The Neo Geo is an amazing system... not just for fighters but also some great exclusive puzzle games, shmups, arcade style sports, and other genres. If you decide to get one I'd definitely suggest an MVS (arcade) mobo, cheap supergun (Vogatek?), and maybe an MVS multicart to start out. All of the pieces are pretty cheap, esp. in the UK where you can run SCART RGB straight from the supergun.

AES (home console) games are overpriced collector's items and the library is a small subset of the MVS library. There's nothing that's AES exclusive so if you just want to play the games MVS is the best option.

Right, thats my new project..

Will start a new thread so not hijacking this to much...
