PC deal

I got contacted by a guy on Facebook who had some PC games he wanted to sell. Nothing really exciting- I gave him an offer for all but he felt it was to low. And I understand him, was a very low offer.

But I did buy 3 of the PC games. Cutthroats, looks a lot like Sid Meier's Pirates, Myth The Fallen Lords and Return to Krondor by Sierra, which looks very promising. I had never heard of these games, but the boxes look really nice and was in almost new condition.

I also got 3 Playstation 1 games thrown in to the deal, Viva Football, complete but with broken cover, Hidden & Dangerous, also complete but a small scratch on the CD, and 007 The World is Not Enough, which I already have in a double box with Tomorrow Never Dies, but is nice to have on it's own. Although the instructions was missing so a little bummed there.

I am a big Bond fan and have decided to try and collect all the Bond games I can find.

I also bought Illusion of Time, cart only, for SNES, I have Illusion of Gaia which is the American version of the same game but haven't been able to get it to work with my SNES adaptor, so I decided to buy this also.

It was a decent price, at least compared to prices in Norway and Sweden. Bought it from Germany, but it was the UK version so English text in the game.

Got a package from Japan

This week I got some games I ordered from Japan. They where both complete with box and instructions.

The games are Mystery Circle, a puzzle game like Tetris.Blocks are falling and you control a spaceship and have to draw a line around the blocks to get them to disappear. Looks pretty fun.
The other is Tengai Makyō Zero, Far East of Eden Zero. A RPG that is supposed to be pretty good. Hard for me to play because it's all in Japanese, but I liked the box and it was not expensive so I bought it.
Also it didn't work with my adaptor so haven't been able to test it.

This weeks new stuff

I got some new games this week. Evil Within and Thief for Xbox 360 new and still in plastic.
City Crisis for PS2 also still in plastic.
Enter The Matrix for Gamecube, Grand Theft Auto London and Resident Evil 2 for PS1, F1 World Championship Edition and Super Smash TV for SNES, Tennis, Popeye 2, Pokémon Gold, Armorines, Micke Mouse and Dr. Franken for Gameboy.
Also got an UA Universal Adaptor Expert Version for SNES.
I also got an adaptor for NES to play Famicom games (not in picture)

Some new stuff

Got some new stuff sent to me from Germany. Two games, Demolition Man for the SNES amd Four Players' Tennis for NES, 10 dustsleeves for NES, Gamboy game cases, a Playstation 2 DualShock controler and two German NES manuals, Top Gun and Mega Man 3.
So now I have complete german versions of those two games, game, box and manual.

Mortal Kombat II and Olympic Gold I couldn't get to start up. But the rest worked fine. Nice to finally have some games for my Mega Drive. Now I'm only waiting for a controller that works. The A-button don't function most of the time and C-button rarely.

Then yesterday I got this in the mail from Japan.

Tried it a little. Looks like a fun puzzle game, but hard.



Then also yesterday I bought four Playstation 3 games from a friend.

Fear 3

Bought them for 400nok ($52.40).

The start of my own Blogg

So I just decided to start a blogg about my Video game collecting.

First thing, let me introduce my self. My name is Anders and I'm a 34 year-old swede living in Norway.
I started collecting games about 4 years ago after discovering Angry Video Game Nerd and Pat the NES Punk on YouTube, and I also found my old Commodore 64 and Amiga 500 in my basement at that time, so I thought it would be fun to collect games. I also had a Nintendo Wii, Playstation 1, 2 and a PC, but had sold most of my games for those systems. Stupid!
But yeah, then I decided to start collecting. Mostly bought C64 games at first, cause they are pretty cheap but soon I bought other consoles.

Now I have 12 consoles/computers in my collection. PC, Playstation 1, 2 and 3, Xbox 360, NES, SNES, GameBoy, Wii, Commodore 64, Amiga 500 and my latest console Sega Mega Drive (Genesis).
I also have games for GameCube (which I play on my Wii) and for N64 (my next console to buy?)
I will not do a list of games I have here. Maybe in a future post. But for now you can go to my backloggery page to view my games http://backloggery.com/andyk81.

So what will I write about here?
Not sure yet. But I will write about my recent buys and about the games I play. Maybe do a small review. I'm also in the planning of making a text adveture for the C64, maybe Ill write something about that.

So yeah, that's it.

Hope it will interest someone.

Next post I will write about my most recent buys.
