Yeah, I was really confused...
I was thinking, was there a different version released that let you play with a controller, maybe?

Doubt it. Might have been a hack, or maybe we're not doing it right?

I think played one of the mouse games (might have been Mario Paint) by holding down L and R buttons. that enasbled me to move the cursor with D-pad but nothing else.

[Dan-Fu]

I'll have to try that...

It's been a light month in gaming for me. That's all I've got so far, i got some stuff still coming in but nothing too major.
Yes those are 6 Game Gears that I plan to mod to the tee. Well at least one lol the others i plan to re-cap and led mod to get at least 6-8hrs off them 6 batteries.

I'll take a copy of Rolan's Curse LOL!  I never realized that that Europe got their own version of the stupid-ass proprietary case for Saturn games. Only Japan lucked out in that way, save for those games like Cyberbots that have ever-so-slightly thicker jewel cases which are even harder to find than the damned US Saturn boxes. Grumble grumble...

The worst thing is that up to a certain life point of the saturn our pal cases were CARDBOARD on the outside. No sleeve but printed on cardboard and glued on the outside of the hardcase!!!! You can imagine how many of those cases look today. *ugh*
Later in the lifecycle they replaced them with hardcases with a sleeve and insert (much much better)!

This week's haul mostly imported from the States (to England), the game top left of the snes pile is Final Fantasy V translated and under it is Super Metroid Redesign... some fun weeks ahead!

I had no idea that EU Saturn cases were cardboard. WTF were they thinking?!  It's not like they're carts. Geez.


Man, that's a lot of repros!  Color me jealous.

I've spent too much this month (and most other months).

Lots still to arrive, but here's what i have in my grubby mitts:

If they don't sell to US I can help you, altough someone in UK could probably get the first part of shipping cheaper, thus saving you some money.

If someone were to say... wanted to buy a game gear off of you after you mod it irv, would you be interested in selling?  I am not looking to buy one, but curious

[sheep2001]

Want that blue one.  Looks lovely!

[wiggy]

Thanks for the offer, Arseen. If I wasn't already 100 cases in, then I'd totally jump on it. There's no way that I'm gonna redo/resize all those covers PLUS make all the modifications necessary to re-case everything. Man, that would take forever :/

Hey Sheep, excellent pickup! Quick question, are your Video Olympics and Pele's soccer covers the one I made??? I'd be really excited if they were! I've seen tons of downloads in my box account, but never seen them boxed up... 

Also, could you send me your Atari 2600 "Basketball" cover? I've had that one on my request thread and would love to scratch it off...
