My SMS Collecting thread.

Might as well be this one!  New deliveries today, first up is Winter Olympics which is one of the rarer Klixx classic titles, only amazing thing about it is the dark case, looks odd on the shelf that's for sure.  Second was Line of Fire which is meant to be a really good light gun game but the case is stained with coffee on the back cover, the seller didn't mention that in the auction, just classed it as being in good condition. Complaints ahead.  Plus a quick shot of how the collection looks so far:

Wow, i really am looking forward to watching that collection grow and that shelf slowly fill.

For me i doubt i will ever collect an entire games catalogue for a system, i buy to many systems.

[JoeMusashi]

Im looking forward to seeing this collection grow too.

Good luck with it!

[TrekMD]

Very nice.  Looking forward to seeing the collection grow.

These arrived and just giving them the usual scrub down on the contacts before playing.  Heard lots of good things about Putt & Putter, I only bought the Flash because it was £20 which seemed cheaper than all the other BINs on eBay.

[TrekMD]

I didn't know there was a game based on The Flash for the SMS!  That's cool.

[Lorfarius]

It plays incredibly well and the speed is fantastic.

[zapiy]

Put & Putter looks amazing, my type of game that lol.

[sloan]

Nice. Games I never knew existed on Master System.

[Lorfarius]

Nice pile of games arrived this morning:

[JoeMusashi]

Another nice haul.

Are you using the usual sources i.e. Ebay, Gumtree etc, or have you got some sources tapped up from your NES collecting days?

Whats the grand total of PAL SMS releases for a complete collection?

[Lorfarius]

Just eBay and forums. There's about 279 games I think.

[TrekMD]

Coming along nicely, Lorfarius.

[zapiy]

What was the damage on that lot pal and how much as this cost you so far if you don't mind me asking. Be interesting to know what kind of money this ends up costing.

[Lorfarius]

AKidd was £16
Streets of Rage - £13
SCI - £9
Batman Returns - £7
Dragon Crystal - £6

All pretty cheap really, rpices tend to bounce around a bit at those levels. 

Out of all of them AKidd is the best game, really fun action platformer. SOR is an amazing port of the MD classic, the music isn't perfect but its as close as could be expected and its surprising just how good it looks.  My fav to play out of the lot is Batman Returns which works really well but sadly has a ridiculous 1 hit to die system and is way too difficult.
