Hey Everyone! I've got some new games and I've been busy since the holiday has begun a couple of weeks ago. My Mega CD Collection is still growing and I'm not gonna let it stop, it still hasn't been a whole year since I officially started yet.



OK so, my sister went to Corfu for a week and she has a cleaning job. Since I'll be replacing her when she goes to University, I cover for her when she's away or can't do it, and get paid. So I did a weeks worth of cleaning, and got paid for it. Cheesy

I used the money to pay for two things, first was "The Conduit", as mentioned in my Rant on preorders and instore prices, I paid on Amazon for 27.69 in total, a good price for a Brand New Wii title, don't ya think?

On the 11th July, I saw Thriller Live in Birmingham with my Dad, it was really good. I loved how accurate they portrayed the Smooth Criminal section compared to the music video (my favourite part), as well as the actual Thriller dance. One of the singers did come on stage to say "Even though Michael Jackson is gone, his music will live on", a nice little mention.

On 12th July, was the ending day for Sample_Seller's 51 Sega CD auctions (Where does he get his games from?) I planned on getting 3 of his game, that was what I planned to spend the rest of my money on, I only got the two I wanted. Those were MegaRace and Game no Kanzume Vol 1, I wanted to get Vol 2 also but I was outbid in literally the last seconds, and I don't know when I may see that one again. Cry I guess I'll have to keep searching until I spot it again and try and win it. I won MegaRace for 5.50 and Game No Kanzume for 10.

On the same day, except in the morning. I was at the local carboot as usual. Sadly there were less stalls than usual, because it was the early summer holidays. But when I looked at one stall I saw this box and thought it looked familiar, a closer look made me realise that one of the characters was Captain Falcon and the box said F-Zero X, and then turning it around clearly showed it was a Japanese copy. The guy also had a SNES Super Scope 6 cart, with no Super Scope (why?) and I failed to ask him how he got this. It is fully CIB and is in great condition for just 3!

On the 17th I bought Prince of Persia from the AtticBug to give me a total of 20 Mega CD games out of 95. It also means that an entire section of my shelf is now filled. I've also found a new place to store my Megadrive carts because I have a new desk unit with two large compartments for stuff. I can now store up to 90 Sega Megadrive Carts alone now.

On the 19th in the morning, I went to the car boot again. I had 9.92 on me and I spent the lot and I got 11 Mega drive games, thanks to one guy who was selling 7 oh his games for 3 and two collectors were at the sale XD Yeah, the first one I didn't actually see, only his mom. All I got was that he's 21 and he's been collecting for years, you have to give him credit because not only did he have a basket full of Mega Drive games (I got 3), but large boxes full of NES, SNES and N64 games! The second one was the regular, who was reasonable enough to accept the last 1.92 I had for a 2 World of Illusions. All of the games are boxed and 9 have their manuals. Because of this, my cupboard has gotten bigger.
