  • On Sunday 30th June 2004 I went to the London Gaming Market. It was mega busy but boy were there some nice items for sale! I grabbed a combo of hardware / software, Sega / Nintendo, and everything in between. One pick up was a grail item for me in terms of the nostalgia it holds.

    25:40. Thats me you are talking about :) Thank you for your kind words its flattering and thank you for your patronage. I look forward to seeing you again in November my friend. Doom II is hard to find, Activision games always had weak boxes for the advance sadly. Super Mario Advance 2 is common but the issue with any of these games is finding these in decent condition and I price them on condition etc. I'll continue doing this not because it is easy but because it is hard and I enjoy the challenge and well and truly I do this for the collectors and it gives me great joy seeing someones face light up when they see something they desire and I can facilitate them. Contra 4 was only released in the USA developed by Wayforward who have done the new Contra for switch. The only other way to play contra 4 was on android at the time. :) Give Aliens Infestation a go for the DS if you haven't thats another great Wayford game built around the Aliens Franchise Metroidvania style!

      Wahey!!! Thanks Viraj - always a pleasure to check out what you have for sale gameboy wise. I've a few titles know but there are always a lot I don't own on your table.
      Thanks for the recommendation with Contra 4. It wasn't one I'd clocked previously and it plays incredibly well. I went on a silly crusade for a 3ds full set a couple of years back but when it comes to the DS I'm a blooming amateur in terms of knowledge. I do have infestation and you're right, it's a cracking game!
      Very pleased you're returning in November. I've sorted my ticket so hope to see you (and you fab family) again then. In the meantime if you come across the elusive Dick Tracy at a decentish price I'll forever be in your debt ;0).
      All the best, and have a great weekend. Ed

    Fairly sure Misos have a Time Crisis big box, just in case you can do 2player gunplay.
    Nice to hear and see your love for the Goldcliff unit, a beauty added!

    Wow some awesome pick ups there Ed. Point Plank is an absolute classic, love the box art on that one.
    Gold Cliff looks super cool and in lovely condition. That's a great story, you must be well chuffed to have it back in your collection.
    Doom II on the GBA is definitely one you don't see very often. And I didn't know there was a Contra 4 on the DS either. I may have to look that one up as I do love a bit of Contra. 😀

      I'm delighted with Gold Cliff. I see if every now and again but usually unboxed and beaten. I must have thrown the box away back in the day as I really don't remember the box art on the back.
      Contra 4 is really good (and obv ruddy hard!); the use of both DS screens makes it a tad different from your other Contras but in a good way.
      Have a top weekend. Cheers as always.

    Very nice Ed. My nostalgia was for DK 1 & 2, DK JR and Bombsweeper Game & Watch. Got those and in mint Then I started buying others such as Mario Bros which I also loved but just to grow the collection. I ended up winning an auction for £120 for blackjack. I had to go for it as it was mint, like new, all the inserts everything. It was so mint I thought it could of been a repro but checked it out and all legit (also the last game &watch to be sold in Japan). I've seen figures of £3.5k on ebay. I mean, It takes the piss but my god good to know I got a decent price Would love a vid on Gold Cliff mate and others in your collection if you haven't already 💪

      Woah, you've more G&W experience than me. I've never played Bombsweeper; don't think anyone at school had one back in the day.
      Damn, that's amazing about Blackjack!!!! What a result, nicely done. I've seen it on website (retro games.co.uk perhaps) and was way more than than (and perhaps not boxed). A prime piece for your collection.
      You're on! I don't think I've done any G&W vids so this would be a great one to start with.

    Wow Doom II on the GBA hey, the GBA was certainly more than just a portable SNES wasn’t it?

      I'm really getting into the ps1 thing. First time ever really. I had one a little while ago but just a handful of games that I didn't really played. The old crt was moved on and that was it.
      I tried Driver again last night and was absolutely ruddy sticking. I even checked out a YT vid of someone beating it and couldn't mirror them!
      Actua tennis isn't too shabby but not a touch on virtua tennis 2 on the Sega DC.

      Cheers mate!! Really pleased with Point Blank. Currently watching the 2nd part of your Horror to Hollywood episode with James (watched most of it last night) and it's great! Look forward to future eps. Have a nice weekend.

    Fantastic stuff Ed, I must admit, I don't enjoy the markets when it gets crazy busy, shame if that was the case
    Those GB hitters sound a nightmare to track down, all the best with those
    Fantastic Game & Watch, look forward to the vid on that, not one I've ever played, looks a beauty
    Really like the look of that Toki set, almost bought that a few times, you have certainly doubled down on the Ape lately 🤣
    Pleased you got Ray Tracers, great game on the PS1 I think
    All the best mate, enjoyed that
    Totally agree, it's all about the comments I think👍

      Hey James! It was a tad busy even with the new phasing of the tickets. Japanese / Scottish Alan's section was a bit of a no-go as I couldn't be bothered to wrestle to look at games! Fortunately the gameboy dealers and smaller ones were quieter and it was how it should be.
      Thank you; am having some back and forth with a Spanish seller of Dick Tracy. Thought it may be worth a shot albeit will need to weave in customs charges on any deal that gets made.
      Haha, mad isn't it about Toki haha. The Lynx one is definitely bottom of the pile. The MD version is great but I still think they could have made it a bit more colourful and arcade like.
      Thanks so much for the Ray Tracers recommendation. I've fallen in love with that game; you were spot on (as always) with the alignment to Chase HQ.
      Thanks for watching mate and for the fab comment - conscious I waffled even more than usual if that's possible ;0).
      Comments are where it's at - a fantastic community.
      Have a wonderful weekend James.

    That G&W looks very sexy…must have considering it’s what you had as Little Ed.

      Hey Nick! I hope you're well mate. I was over the moon with Gold Cliff - haven't seen it boxed and the system on its own is usually pricey. If it wasn't for the nostalgia it would likely have been looked over.
      I was thinking the same thing after grabbing this one. They did Mario and Zelda and it then came to a halt. I was expecting Metroid particularly as it's very much still a live 1st party series.
      Haha, the postie usually knocks when I'm doing the lunchtime vids. No post that day.

      That family are great aren't they. The guy pops up every now again on a CZcams podcast; oddly it's Sega focused as opposed to Nintendo! Some of it is his own collection but he must do some reselling too - always some great goodies.
