Knocked off some really tough to find games this week, all in near mint condition. More big thanks to @Johnnyboy113 for getting me so close to the end. I love the box art for all four of these games, although gameplay quality varies greatly.

Mario is missing is the Mario Discovery Series variant which actually has a ton of box differences from the original release. GI Joe is just a damn fun game. Anyone prefer Atlantis over this one? Pro Sport is surprisingly competent for a game no one played.

And finally, here is a pic of the PC Engine Mini and CoreGrafx Mini unboxed. They are adorably small as all mini consoles should be, dwarfed by their own controllers. The controllers actually feel great with a really nice, clicky D-pad. They even left the turbo button off the Japanese version for authenticity.

Managed to get some really great games for the collection.
NCAA Basketball: I bought it because it's the Playtronic version and the price was good. What I didn't expect was to get the poster from back then specially in such great shape.
Virtua Racing: another CIB Mega Drive game in great condition.
Outrun 2006: I love the series and this one is really cool.
F1 Championship: found it for cheap and decided to buy it since it's the Brazilian version and was complete.
Windjammers (AES): this one I didn't expect to buy until I found it for half the price it usually goes for. It was from a collector that I bought a lot of AES games more than a year ago. This one he didn't manage to sell and so he really dropped the price. I payed around US$ 436 for it but it doesn't have the manual.
Megaman IV: first of all, this is the Playtronic version so it should be even harder to find than the US version. I made an offer to the seller thinking he wouldn't accept but he took it. I'm very happy with this one.

Not too much this week, but Shinobi does complete my Tengen unlicensed set (minus one Pac-Man variant). I've been looking for a Tecmo Soccer cart and manual forever so I was very happy to add them to a nice box I acquired a long time ago.

P.S. I'm very sorry for what I did with Skull & Crossbones.

Here are two things I got recently.

The first is a Taiwanese Game Boy. I just met up with a local guy I know, tonight, and picked it up as well as a bag of other, less notable, goodies.

The second item was a Game King. I found this over the weekend while poking around in a shop near my home. Sadly I didn't ask to open it while at the shop, and when I got home I saw that the screen was jacked, despite the machine technically being new.

Oh well, I'm not going to take it back and ask for my money back because (A) I only paid about $15 for it, (B) I actually don't have this variation of the Game King boxed, and (C) That sort of stunt is why shopkeepers are weary of selling their ancient wares to begin with, worried someone will complain if it doesn't work. I'm not particularly bothered tbh, you win some and you loose some 🙂
