Received my CEX lot all except one still to come. Not bad considering they say 2nd class and these came in 3 different packages

Primal actually came as a fancy version with a shiny cover and sound track which was pretty cool. Bottom 3 don't have manuals and the red stars case was disgusting, seriously bad and unfortunately the paper is wrinkled as if once wet and dried but can't complain at the cost. Knew those Fifa games would be good for something

I had a package today all the way from Pittsburgh.

I backed the CGR feature review of MUSHA Kickstarter last year at the highest tier, so I got a box of CGR goodies included.

Wow that's pretty nice! I love to see the results of a kickstarted project.

oo nice !

I watched it last night and if you watch and like CGR then it's well worth buying the digital version via Amazon. I think it should be available around June.

I'll post some more pictures of the manual and artwork he included if anyone is interested.

Looks like I'll have to sell off most of my collection.

Short story is

We recently had problems remortgaging because the lease hold on our house only has 54 years left. Basically our house is still in my wife's name after a divorce. We want to swap to a joint mortgage and the lease hold is causing problems.

So buying the lease is more important than having shelf fulls of games gathering dust.

So some of it may end up in the MM.

Oh crap dude that really sucks....

Leaseholds are a complete PITA, Close friend selling his property found he had same issue and it wasnt a cheap fix

Best of luck

I'm expecting to have my pants pulled down, that for sure.

Had a go on the Red Star! Seems fairly unique, I miss games like this. It's sort of got streets of rage style fighting mixed with shmup sections!

Also fired up SSX3, that game seems harder than I was expecting it to be

Still pondering picking up Jade Cocoon for PS1, the £15 price is tempting, but I also want LSD Dream Emulator but it's a jap release only.. and 300 odd quid.

im looking for some see through ones, any ideas? im looking on the bay, but unsure which one it is, id like to cover the whole cartridge (loose cart) for displaying on my shelves to protect the whole cart from dust etc

Twin box with outer sleeve...saturn ftw

kinger8938 · 1 May 2017 at 20:34

I know nothing about the Saturn but I do always hear this game mentioned as a very good one to have in a collection, GG!

phatboy · 1 May 2017 at 21:13

It is bleeding amazing game. I wish I had deep enough pockets for a copy myself

One requires a saturn in a retro collection...soooo many hidden gems
