You can get stuff this side of the pond too. ;) Went carbooting last week and got Lemmings and Sega Chess for Master System, Gremlins 2 for the NES, a HK special with Fantasia, Spiderman vs Kingpin, Jewel Master and Master of Weapon for Megadrive,The Addams Family also for MD, andTop Gear Overdrive + Pokemon Puzzle League for N64, all boxed for 13 quid. Boxes varied from worn to excellent in quality.

Jup grum is right...
I had some luck to last week....
Got a Dreamcast Broadband adapter boxed complete for 20 dollars in a games shop. We have quite many video games shops here in austria openend and maintained by turkey folks. Sometimes you can make really good deals with them cause they've got good prices most of the time and are always willing to haggle a bit....

That's a very good find you have there Tik. There are very few gaming shops that keep retro stuff here nowadays. Most dont go back past PS2 and the ones that do normally are laughably expensive. Mind you, i get on well with the local guys and they give me first refusal on the stuff they get so thats a bonus.

Well, well ,well...maybe I could give you a list with a few games that you might slip to your local guys? :)
