My pants are already off.



Nice! Hopefully I’ll get my Kraut Buster soon too. Kinda annoyed they don’t provide a tracking number. I guess it’ll be a surprise when I miss the mailman and have to pick up my package.

Yeah the lack of number is irritating.

Mine came through within a few days but European mail is pretty efficient most of the time.

Original NES Controllers box

Yes agree they look new. Great find!

The NES wasn't popular here in the UK because it was so expensive and it came a *very* long time after Japan and the US. Most UK people have happy memories of playing Super Mario Bros in shops rather than at home

Wow, I don't often stumble on good deals from Ebay, but this deserves some mention. I came across an auction for a "broken" but complete copy of US Crossed Swords. The seller said it works but there are audio issues. Given that it looked okay overall (some water damage on the insert and instruction book, but it isn't too bad), I thought that the game probably works and that the contacts are most likely just filthy. Won the auction for $60 bucks, got it in, gave the contacts and good clean and polish, and VIOLA! Works flawlessly now.

That is a good price now but I remember when Classic Gaming Source on ebay was selling them for $50 brand new. Also Maglord and Sengoku were super cheap.

I ended up winning a public surplus auction for this brand new sealed 32" JVC D-Series CRT. Final bid was 41 bucks. Auction fee was about 5 bucks. It also cost a tank of gas and lunch for my friend who helped carry it. I lucked out pretty hard on this one. A high school bought it years ago and just never used it.

Dem days are looong gone...they sell MagLord ,cart only for like 99 USD and anything they perceove broken/damaged for like 59.99-79.99
You definitely lucked up if all you had to do is clean the contacts and not have to worry about needing a PCM ,V or M1 chip!

One of the greatest creations of Konami. Much better than the Mega Drive version

SUNSETRIDERS SNES PAL UK.

In Spain, both the German and English versions were distributed.

A good comparison. I really like the music in the MD version. But in general, the SNES version is much better. Konami could do much better with MD. For starters, the SNES game has 8 Meg and the MD game only 4.

RARE X5.png

One of the greatest creations of Capcom. Much better than the previous games in the series

MEGAMAN X5 PSX NTSC-US.

Memories playing this game at a cousin's last week, it is amazing to recover this hidden gem in the year 20XX. I had been thinking about adding it to the collection for a few days. It is simply by far the greatest game of the X series.
