My SMS Collecting thread.

Rastan was ace in the arcade but I'm not familiar with the SMS version. How does it hold up to the arcade version?

[zapiy]

Great price. How did you manage that? Just lucky?

[Lorfarius]

Part trade. I had a spare manual for Micro Machines which seem to go for an arm and a leg on ebay.

Collection looks great!

I had no idea the number of PAL titles that were released for the SMS. Here in the States, we were shafted. I'm glad they will play region free but shipping costs would limit me.

[Lorfarius]

Probably best doing it in bundles for that distance.

[onthinice]

That is good advice. Thanks again for sharing the pictures of your growing collection. I enjoy seeing the artwork. I miss the old days when you could tell a game system by the shape of its box, case or artwork.

Different colored cases are just not same.

Trip to town to spend Xmas money and got a nice little haul today:

[onthinice]

Nice!

I loved World Games on the Commodore 64. Great to see the Master had a release.

[Lorfarius]

Big things on the way! Sold my Wii U (thing just wasn't getting used) so spent a nice pile of cash on some rares. Add to that a deal I've made with another collector for a huge pile of rares.

[Lorfarius]

First lot of deliveries today. Ollifants is a weird one, the Classics edition is pretty rare and often sells for £20-£30 yet the original never seems to go much beyond £15. Yet looking back at auctions the last one sold went for about a tenner in October. No listings since then yet I saw this copy for 12.99 BIN so had to grab it. As a game it is pretty poor reminds me of that Rolo game on the Mega Drive with a weird mix of Robocod thrown in.

Alien 3 looks more like Super Metroid and is a lot of fun.

Couple of nice finds there Keith.

Sensi wasn't bad at £13 but cheaper than every other seller so not a bad deal, Indy was cheap at £4 but from what I told that's not a good thing Pretty annoyed Secret Command, was described good as new and looked it in the auction pictures which also showed the manual. What turned up was that tat above, missing manual and brown stains all over the case not to mention the torn plastic and paper cover down the spine. Awful state so back for a refund.

[onthinice]

Two out of three ain't bad. It is nice to see your collection growing. Thanks for sharing these as I was unaware of the Indiana Jones game.

[Lorfarius]

Be better to pretend it doesn't exist, it's woeful to play. Annoying really as it looks pretty good but the hit detection is a mile off. I'd have been pretty upset to get this at full price as a kid!

[onthinice]

The artwork on the case caught my eye. Too bad the game has little value other then for a collection.

 I did enjoy the Atari 2600 Raiders of the Lost Ark and the NES Indiana Jones games were good but still a let down. Not sure if there were any good Indy Jones games besides the arcade version.
