O.K, as above, which game gave you the most problems, and which was the most expensive?

For me it has to be U.K Clamcased Pocket Reversi, on both counts!
Took me forever to find an English copy, and it cost me £50!

How about you lot?

I thought Gal Fighters U.S. was VERY tough to find. Only saw it once, and that was at the Mall of America (A friend and I bought the last 3 copies!)

Yeah, I paid £40 for Evolution!
Still a good price when you see what it goes for on ebay!

Haha! EB had Project Justice on sale for £10 here! On the day of release! HA! Also, heres a little story, as many people on this forum know, I had a load of NGPC stuff stole from me when on holiday...... I kept my NGPC and games together in a napsack, and some B@stard stole them from my suitcase..... He got my system, Fatal Fury, Gals Fighters, Sonic and MOTM.... there were two games there that he didn't take (Don't know why though) and those were: Last Blade and MS: 2nd Mission!..... I managed to replace the games lost quite easily, but those? I looked around and all of the shops supplies had sold out.... lucky-ish huh?

I think it was Last Blade UK version, it could have been the US Metal Slug 2nd mission though as well.

Yeah, I'm just a bit weird about giving the bloodsuckers at telegames my money!
Besided, the only version of Reversi they have is JP, or so I heard!

Whats that? about 70 of my earth pounds?

Not bad when you think I paid 50 for Reversi!
and now I've got to get another copy for my mrs!

Shes got the right idea, I dont think shes ever bought herself a bloody game for her NGPC, she just "borrows" any one she fancies from me until I get pissed off and buy it for her!
Shes got 17 now! <mutter, bitch>

My UK clamshell versions of Last Blade and Gals Fighter, probably. Wound up paying about $45.00 apiece for them. Not too bad of a price, really, they were just a pain to find.

I used to have all three of the ultra rare Neo Pocket games. If you don't know what that means, I had Last Blade (UK), Faselei! (UK), and Evolution (UK). Last Blade and Faselei I sold on E-Bay for $283.50 (includes shipping) to one guy. Evolution went for $100. All three games were very difficult to obtain.

Its just crazy!
I've got every single U.K release now, Coolboarders, Faselei, Evolution, Reversi etc etc, Plus some of the B/W releases plus jp games like Ganbare & Rockman.
I wonder what the whole lot would make on Ebay??

Trouble is, I'm having to collect them for my mrs now!
