What is this week's Mega CD auction pick?
[img width=500 height=274]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3358/3415302831_f787f1722a.jpg?v=0[/img]
This is a real collectable that I was unable to bid on sadly. A Mega CD test disc, for 23 USD (around 15 GBP). The guy couldn't get it to work on his Sega CD or read it on his computer, I'm not sure if he tried a Datel Pro CDX or a Japanese Mega CD as it could most likely be Japanese.
Still though, the item itself was worth the pick.
(Runner ups include: Shining Force with a CD Backup cart at 67 USD, Snatcherat 122 GBP and Sensible Soccer with NHL Hockey Disk at 7.33 GBP)
I'm glad that now I can post blogs after around a week of waiting. As some may recognise my birthday was on April 1st, making me now 16. I was given some birthday and what do I do with it? Spend some of it!
Continue reading Happy Birthday to me!
Welcome to my weekly part of my blog where I show you an auction for a Mega CD game (or games) that was awesome, whether it was because of how high (or low) the item ended at or what the item(s) were for auction.
So, for my first one is this auction for "The Adventures of Batman and Robin".
[img width=500 height=316]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3621/3387636259_f2ecc3c0ca.jpg?v=0[/img]
Now the price definitely says something about this game, it's considered by collectors to be the rarest PAL Mega CD game, What makes it better is that this game comes with the original Spine card!
Now if there was a sealed copy I wonder how much it would sell for if one for this condition ended up at this price?
This is in response to my blog. I live in the UK so I'll tell you all about where I live.
http://www.rfgeneration.c...ut-where-you-live-996.php
Royal Leamington Spa, UK
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leamington_Spa
- The very centre of the UK
- Third Largest Town in the Warwickshire County
- Visited by then Princess, Queen Victoria twice (1838 and 1858) and Queen Elizabeth II (1980)
- There are five video game developers in the Town, most famous being Blitz Games. Codemasters isn't actually far from from the town (my dad visited it a while ago).
- We've held a yearly Peace Festival for over 20 years
We've been home to Sir Frank Whittle (Inventor of the Jet Engine), Nizlopi (Band with Number one hit "JCB Song"), Randolph Turpin (greatest Middleweight Boxer of the 40s and 50s) and others.
Now games which rarely appears on eBay are more pressurising than regular games, whether they are rare or not. This is because if they Seldom appear, then if you bid for one you will be afraid of losing because it may never appear again for possibly one, two, three, four or maybe (in the case of the game Syndicate apparently) five or more years.

I don't get games from America that often, thanks to the price for importing, the exchange rate and the current economy. US Ebay Auctions take advantage by putting the international postage price at up to 30 USD (21 GBP) which is stupid as this example shows you.

Yesterday I went to a Classic Gaming Convention called Byte Back, which was situated in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, for two reasons.
- I'm a retro gamer so who'd give up a chance like this
- To see if I can find some rare titles to add to my Mega CD Collection
The latter reason is for this saying that I made The internet is an antique shop, outside that antique shop is a very large island, with treasure hidden deep. If you aren't sure what it means, it should be that the internet may be a great place to by Retro games but outside the internet something special is somewhere for collectors to grab.

I have new games to add to my collection, this was the first game lot that I have won. These include 8 Mega CD demos (which were originally provided with either the Sega Pro Magazines or Mega Power Magazines during the Mega CD's life cycle), a "collectable" Comix Zone Soundtrack called Roadkill (I'm unsure about how rare this is) and 2 backup games.

After coping with losing two auctions on rare games on one day and mentioning it on my blog, some of you people gave me advice on how to avoid it happening again. Well...I have won an auction today (you'll find out what I won in the next entry) and that'll be the last auction using my old technique. So instead of bidding early and waiting till the end, I'll try and bid at the last minute.
Continue reading A Change of Plan
Today is a day of sadness, but not emo, as I lose my chance of getting two very rare games to add to my collection. To help me explain, I will use comics made by me in the form of the style of Ben "Yahtzee" Crowshaw (Zero Punctuation, EscapistMagazine.com).
