I got my GCSE Results today, and everyone is proud of me 
Got As in Science, mainly Bs in English, English Lit, Maths, History and Tech, Cs in French (and I'm not doing that again w00t!) and Geography!
So does anyone have any friends, relatives or yourself got exam results today or in the past weeks?
Went to Gamestation in town, looked round store, looked at cabinet next to counter, and what did I find?
I found the bottom of the cabinet filled with Neo-Geo Pocket games, N64 games, Dreamcast games, a Sega Saturn copy of Guardian Heroes, Sonic 3 and two copies of Sonic CD and Batman Returns for the Mega CD EACH! Apparently the store's basement had a huge stock of retro titles that needed to be gone, so part of them were on display. I got Batman Returns CIB (if I wasn't paying attention I would've gotten one without a manual) for 6.99 and Sonic 3 with Box (no manual) for 9.99.

Hey everyone, I've won two new games and I just got my ticket today to go to the Reading Music Festival! Not only that but I've got some other news but you have to read on to find out what that is!

If you look up rare European titles for the Mega CD, or at least European exclusives for the Mega CD, one company comes to mind in both: Domark. Or to be more accurate, D0MARK. This was for 3 reasons:
- Two of the games were planned for a US release but cancelled
- All four of their games were released between late 1994 and 1995
- They were all shovelware titles
Especially the last point, all of the games were ports of Amiga or Megadrive games with music and in some cases FMV cutscenes being the only improvement/addition.
So as you can tell, I have one of them. Continue reading to see what it is.

Well I'm back on English soil after spending a week in Barcelona, I had a good time. Along with going to the Picasso and Dali museum, me and my family went around the city, got lost (according to maps and taxi drivers, our hotel doesn't exist, but the internet shows it does), swam in what was the Olympic swimming pool, went bowling, played in the arcades and all the things tourists do on a holiday.
Despite having over 50 Euros I didn't buy any games, but I did get something game related.

Yep, I'm a big Knuckles fan, I may not get Knuckles Chaotix for the 32X but I will buy anything that has Knuckles on it.
and that wasn't the only thing, read on to see what else is in this entry.

Hey people, this one will be short because I'm currently packing up for my holiday abroad to Barcelona, Spain! There are markets there but I won't expect to buy any games there as I should take a break from collecting once in a while, right? But before then I did get a Mega CD title in the post so let's see what it is shall we?

AH HA HA HA!!! sorry

Hello people, I've noticed now that even though I don't have an impressive game room, you have to admit I have a cool gaming shelf for someone who only spends alot on games. Now it has gotten onto the fourth stage of evolving so I thought I'll show you the evolution stages of my Shelf of Doom, reason calling that because really I don't have much of a gaming room, just my bedroom with posters on the wall and games all in one general area.

This is a little late but I had an opportunity and now I have the time to explain it to you.

Since I got this very cheaply and the shrinkwrap is bad enough anyway so why not. Also, I noticed somethings that make me question if this was a reseal or poorly produced version. The case is cracked and has that white smudge at the corner, and some of the tidbits that holds the CD in it's place are bent downwards. Either way it doesn't matter because I got it very cheaply and I can replace the case and CD holder (which I did), and the CD and manual are in pristine, undamaged condition.
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.
Continue reading A lot has happened
Before I begin, let me say that I know fully well about the stupid practices done in the US at Gamestop and how unfair there prices for trade ins and selling "new" games, but if you think you have serious problems over there then you are dead wrong.

Happy 4th July and Independence day to everyone, I know I'm late. I got some cool finds including a Sega CD game which came in the post. Continue reading to see what I got.
Continue reading Awesome finds to start July
Got a new game to add to the Mega CD collection, meaning 30 individual games, 1 duplicate and 10 demos. The game is INXS, or its full title Make My Video: INXS, coming with spine card.
[img width=500 height=365]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2611/3665018030_14b3767a5e.jpg?v=0[/img]
First thing I have to ask is, who the hell is INXS? What kind of music do they play? Can anyone give me some information on them?
Secondly, the guy I got it from must've been either lazy or away at the time of buying it because I've been waiting two weeks for this game and the guy never responded to my messages.
Amount Paid:
3.00
Total Paid:
312.18
As most of us have known, Michael Jackson, known as the King of Pop, has passed away yesterday. So as a (sort of) fan of him, I thought I will put a mention in this blog so everyone in the RFGen community will give his respects. It's such a shame for me because I love all his songs and his dance moves, and I also think both the Moonwalker games and film were good. It was actually midnight here in the UK when I first heard the news, my sister showed me on her PC the live broadcast with thousands of people standing outside LA Hospital.
It's more of a shame for us British fans of Michael since he was planning a tour here and promised it to be his last (or at least hinted it because the caption was "This is it") and because of this tragedy that tour has now ended before it begun.
