the small score's thread

I'm not really sure what you mean Pieter but i can check thru them later.
I don't really read GI except for a few select articles in very few issues.

Pokemon Box Ruby+Sapphire in a last minute look around a bootfair this morning for £4, with the official Nintendo memory card (which seem to go for £15 on their own)! Wahey!

[Izret101]

Nice score!
I know the US one was limited to 20,000 or fewer releases.
I can't remember for sure, but i put the info is on the game page way back when if you really want to know

[Patrick]

Well, I've got you to thank for it really. The only reason I knew anything about it was because of your thread about it a while before I joined, which you revived for Electroplankton!  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem  to be as sought after over here as it is in the US, but it can still go for about £30 on ebay. I think it either came as a gift when you preordered Pokemon Colosseum, or just came bundled with the game, as the front of the box says "Promotional item: not for resale".

At the same time, I picked up a strange sealed version of NHL 96 for the Genesis, which I thought might be some kind of bootleg because Genesis was spelt wrong on the box (but I think that's just down to EA getting kids to write the boxes for them). I'll take some photos of it in a moment and perhaps someone here can confirm that the US release has the same spelling mistake.

[Patrick]

Wow, no need to even take photos, you've got the scans already!



The spelling mistake is in the bottom right, I don't know how I noticed it at the time. I still have absolutely no idea why someone was selling a stack of sealed US NHL games in the UK though!

Whoops, silly me. Of course you don't allow HTML! Bad habits from strange boards
