Nice Laird!

Best of all (which I didn't realise) I had exactly 4 games missing the insert!!!

Nice! I have not found anything that cool but did pick up:

Atari 2600
Millipede

Nes
Defender II
Eliminator Boat Duel

N64
NHL Breakaway '98                     
Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey '98

Playstation
The Cat in the Hat - only 50 cents and makes a good filler game.

Bought a couple more Sega ST-V carts... Groove On Fight and Cotton Boomerang. Trying to limit my gaming budget, but saw these hidden in a vaguely worded auction and couldn't resist a 'low' bid.

Groove On Fight is supposed to be much better on ST-V than Saturn because it uses all of the arcade PCB's extra memory for character animation.

Lots of bootleg Cotton Boomerang carts around so I'm anxious to see whether this one is legit. If it's a legit cart it's worth $$$. But, I'd still be happy with a working bootleg for the price I paid.

ok so I know I said I wasn't going to buy anything more but when your getting deals as good as £1.99 you can't really turn em down can you?

So I was trying to put together a top 10 Master System games video and I realised I don't have my copy of Alien 3 anymore... must've been one of the ones I sold and never got back, so I got that for £1 or so, + P&P and I've also just bought both Afterburner and Galaxy Force on MS for £1.99 each! very cool

I have nearly bought the Saturn version of Groove On Fight a few times, any good?

(sorry... just saw this)

Groove On Fight is a pretty strange fighting game. Freaky anime style character designs/backgrounds/music. It doesn't measure up to the Capcom/SNK 2D fighters on Saturn, but definitely a quirky and unique game.

It's like the Capcom vs series where you pick two characters and can switch at any time. But, the Saturn version only supports the 1MB memory expansion cart so they had to lose animation frames to keep 4 characters in memory at once.


Post office tracking says that my ST-V carts should arrive today.


EDIT: Package arrived today and my new Cotton Boomerang ST-V cart is legit.

Damn! Nice one!!!

I would love a Vectrex!!! 

You should try to get one, Laird.  Well worth it as I'm sure you can tell from my game reviews.

[TrekMD]

At retro events its always the first machine I head for!!!

So, you get your Vectrex fix at these events!

But just don't have the money right now to buy anything let alone consoles 

Sorry to hear that. 

[onthinice]

Nice TrekMD!

Thanks The Laird!
I really wanted AvP for the Jaguar and a couple of Intellivsion games. I have been watching the Vectrex prices tick upwards and thought the time was right.
