Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Decided to dig out 2 boxes of games, these are mostly PC Engine but also Saturn, Dreamcast and PS1 titles.
90% SHMUPS, the rest are a mix of Bomberman, Puyo Puyo, Densha De Go! and 'misc' titles. Nearly all games are SC-OCD and RC-OCD too, bar the PAL games and the odd TG16 game.
A box of games:
Some 'choice' games I like from this box:
In this photo, ruined by the flash is Shooting Double (Raycrisis and Rayforce double pack) for PS1.
LOST THE PIC! ARGH!
Another box of games:
More games:
In this photo, ruined by the flash is R-Type Complete and Image Fight for PC Engine:
...and finally.......some games:
Still got more boxes of SHMUPS to photograph and other special editions, sealed games etc. I'll do it another day.

Not greatly expensive for Hu's. Well, assuming you're alright with RPG's you won't be able to read, tedious strategy games and dating simulators.
In honesty though, loose cards are grand. Usually between €3 and €10 depending on title and condition for a loose card. I've about half a business card holder book full of loose cards. Good for storage those books.
That said, loose cards can be expensive too. Anywhere from €10 up to the 70-100 mark or more, depending on the title and condition of the loose card.
Boxed games, card or CD vary (without SC or RC's in them). Again, anywhere from €10 up to €300. Same rules apply for CIB games with SC-OCD and RC-OCD.
Then of course there is Sapphire. Bag an 'original', NOT a 'legal boot' (yes it does exist) and you'r looking at €300-€500 for that... assuming you can actually find a copy and then assuming once you found it you can persuade the person(s) to part with it.
And finally, the game SteveSI has 2 copies of....
Darius Alpha.
That cheeky young pup will set you back a cool €600-€1000+ depending on condition and when and/or where you buy it.
:eek:
If you love SHMUPS though, for me anyway, the PC Engine is where the action is at. Close second is the Saturn. 0 -

No idea Jacqueline. Only 800 (known) copies exist in the entire world. Well, at the time they did, who knows how many have been destroyed though?
It is a really hard title to get as it was never released. It was a competition prize given away to entrants who sent in two spine cards and receipts from two other games. I think it was Super Darius and Super Darius II, correct me if I'm wrong.
You basically bought both games then mailed off the particulars and were entered in to a prize draw where copies were given as prizes.
Essentially Darius Alpha is a boss rush game so it's not all that great (well, it's Darius so in my eyes it's amazing but to everyone else it's just 'not great'), however due to the difficulty in getting a copy in the first place and a limited number in the wild, it is stratospherically expensive.
I too would like to know how Ulysses got his two copies!
No cool story to it really. I paid cold hard cash for my first copy in Super Potato in 2008(95000 yen I think) and I paid a bit more for my second copy in 2010 from a private individual in New York(super mint condition with original packaging it was posted in etc).
It's also up for debate how many were ever shipped. Some people say it could be 600 to 1000 copies.
To be honest the game is not that great. Like most of these ultra rare games its expensive because its rare, not because its good.
And these rare/expensive games, the don't get stored in a drawer either. They gets the Steve SI special treatment all the way

Ahhhh I dunno, although I do wear Darius blinkers! Although it is true, it's not that great because it's not really a game as such. It's just a boss rush of another Darius Game.
Again I may be on the wrong path here but I think my copy of Darius R is a boss rush of the same game, I forget. I'll have to thumb through the Darius wiki to remember.
You're right though, the exact figure is not known, it's rumoured to be 800, but as Ulysses said, it's between 600-1000 copies and it's not known how many have survived.
Fair play to you Ulysses, I dream of owning that game just to complete my Darius collection some day.
