    Hah, that's gas about Toejam and Earl.

    I remember my cousin bought a Jap copy of Kinnikuman: Dirty Challenger for the Snes back in the day.

    Was a wrestling game so you'd think it was fairly straightforward. Nope. We spent years trying to figure out how to play it but never did in the end.

    Wish I could remember it! They had a good few import MD games, remember getting brought in there and coming out with a Jap copy of Toe Jam & Earl and heading for an ice cream in Fusciardi's (?) next door. Must have been my 8th birthday.

    8 year old me was not as gushing in praise of TJ&E as CVG had been. Nothing is happening, in Japanese. Pretty sure it was returned for Streets of Rage the following Saturday.




    Premier computers was the name. I used to rent USA NES games for the week. I was probably 9 or 10 at the time and they modded pal consoles for you to disable the region lockout chip. Such a great place back then. It's where the hemp shop is now.

    I used buy my Mega Drive games in hifi shops circa 1991 and a lot of them had Japanese and American product. I didn't know the difference just knocked the tabs off my MD.

    CEX are sort of a pawn shop so I'd have guessed they'd do well during a recessionary period.

    I see CEX have a "drop and go" service now.

    So, initiate selling of stuff online, then drop the stuff off at the door, and they pay the money into your account or email a voucher.
