It is when you ask boys to dress up in disguise and steal to further enhance your trove,
like what happened to this guy!

Sent out by a nefarious collector to find gaming ephemera that he will never play, the horror, the horror!

Remember I said I'd buy no more until Xmas... I lied. At the prices I got these it was hard to say no.

You'll have to excuse two things:

The bad camera quality, and the stupid photoshop job I did :P



Aside from that, I couldn't believe Auto Modellista was in my local CeX. I never saw it on store shelves growing up so it was a hidden gem for me. It isn't even that good but I love the art style of it!

I got it in xtra vision celbridge second hand in 2006 or 7, I always seen it in the import section of games tm and boy was I dissapointed.

swung by one charity shop I hadn't visited in a while on my way home and got this for €5


DS works fine but smells of fried onions strangely enough ... ... mmm....

It was a gloriously beautiful game, full of lovely touches, like independently animated exhaust outlets, but for every hour, day or month they spent on the best in class visuals it was an hour, day or month they didn't spend on the handling, it was horrible to play, such a disappointing game.
Reminds me of Vanishing Point on the PS and DC, I had the latter one and, despite lovely visuals they were terrible to play n

Los Lobos

Got lucky today in a Charity shop, picked these up:





All CIB, boxes are a bit battered too. The discs look well used but would I be right in saying they can be cleaned in Smyths?

Just need a Saturn now

good score!

The Last Bandit

Nice picks up !! Trying giving them a soapy wash before having them skimmed

airmax87

I need to widen my charity shop searches..

Los Lobos

Trust me man, this is the best haul I got this year, twas a bad year for pickups!

Banjo guy putting everyone to shame!

BGOllie

I had a good couple of years yeah but yours tops any of my picks tbh

Retr0gamer

The fact you picked up Virtual Hydlide totally negates the awesome of everything else you found

BGOllie

lol . I've got Hydlide 1& 2 sealed for the MSX. haven't told anyone because I couldn't live with the sh...

...oh balls!

Retr0gamer

Ouch! At least Virtual Hydlide is one of those so bad it's good games. Hydlide 1 and 2 are the spawn of the devil. It's up there with Spelunker as one of those terrible games that the Japanese bafflingly love.

Los Lobos

Ha I never heard of it before but to be honest reading the back of the box I thought it sounded pretty good!!

It's like a 32 bit Skyrim with randomly generated worlds and a main protagonist that runs like an angry nerd. It's also got high levels of crappiness!

That lot of gba games you picked up a while back is the best that I remember anybody getting around here. I think it will be a while before it's topped, it was an incredible get.

A surprise home delivery this evening from Parcel Motel(they must be doing Sat deliveries in December).

He did a great job getting the speccy colour palette onto print, some of the ink used inside is glorious



Nice Dust cover backing






One or two more rewards to come from this Kickstarter, probably over the next week.

Yeah, Artcade coming early next year. Been a long wait on that one.
Hopefully he does the C64 book 1 upgrade soon as well.

FixitFelix

Not really a new get more a find.
Found these while i was pulling out the Xmas decorations the ps sounds like a babies rattle so is prob only fit for the bin

BGOllie

I enjoyed that evil dead game actually. read bad reviews of it but I have good memories of it

I'm hoping he'll do a new updated book and offer it in hardback as well as an addon "mini" book. I got the Amiga and Speccy ones in hardback and the C64 just looks wrong next to them.
I doubt he'll go that way unfortunately

Atavan-Halen

Couple of games I ordered on Black Friday.
