#GameCollection

Ps5 is a success in this house! The three at the bottom are my favourites. Initially I bought the system purely for the exclusive titles but the amazing controller and everything else managed to pull me back into the PlayStation camp more.

With the PS3 and PS4 I was less enthusiastic and leaned more towards Xbox.

The very first game in a long running series always feels a bit magical!

The realisation that back when this first game came out, nobody knew how big of a success it would become. That's hard to imagine with a game like Zelda or Castlevania!

Final game for the Lego collection on the Xbox 360 arrived today.

I think that's now the entire collection*.

(Yes I know Lego Star wars 2 is its own game too, but the complete collection has it so no point in duplicating).

🎮✨ Wow, another revolutionary piece of tech that finally solves the age-old problem of remembering what video games you own 🙄. Because clearly, flipping through physical boxes or scrolling a digital store is just too overwhelming for our fragile gamer brains 🧠💥. Now all you need is to find time to actually play them, but hey, that’s not what this app is for! 🤷‍♂️

I am clearly not cultured enough to understand these. National Velvet confused me so much because I already got "National" and was expecting a person title, not a media title. Also Dizzy was my final puzzle and I missed out on $25,000 boo.

National Velvet: A movie from 1944

Dizzy Gillespie: A jazz musician

I might play Wheel of Fortune some more on my Pocket instead soon.

Bought a copy of Wheel of Fortune for the Gameboy recently and started playing it to test it out. But wow that certainly is an introduction to the game.

Mom, can we have Gallade?

No, we have Gallade at home.

By the way, this is yet another time where I can't find the original art at all, I tried reverse image searching the art on the cart (that's Meganium and Typhlosion mega stretched at the bottom) but nothing shows up.

Something unusual I purchased recently. I'm sure some people out there know about this already but I've never seen this bundle before.

To take a break from Perfect Silver, I'd like to take a quick look at this Taiwanese translation hack of Pokemon Yellow. It appears to be an early version of a lesser known Chinese translation hack. I hope I can find a copy of the possibly newer version to compare this with.

A fellow collector informed me that this translation was actually produced by Vast Fame. Now, I don't know about that personally but I do trust them as they know a lot more than me.

On the Analogue Pocket it boots in black and white... which actually makes sense as the Japanese version of the game (which this is built on) doesn't have the same GBC enhancements the other region releases have. Thankfully I can apply a palette to it. However, if you load it in the SGB core you can fully see the rainbow-ish sparkles in the opening "credits".

I've never seen a game, official or otherwise, that did this. There's a square hole in the board and the chip is kind of just hovering in it. What's up with that?

Can someone tell me where this Bellossom featured on this multicart menu comes from? It doesn't seem to be from the end credits of GS or the battle sprites. Is this from Puzzle Challenge or something? Somewhere else?

By the way, no Pokemon games on this. Seems it was fairly common to use Pokemon to advertise multicarts because of how popular and recognizable they were.

Another fake pirate translation of Silver. This time it's masquerading as Pikachu Inc. but it's actually just HC Translations again. They even mimicked the title style which is interesting.

Although nothing super super exciting, it is still interesting nonetheless. Is it possible the people who made this made the fake Vida Translations Silver as well?

It's also too bad that I'm unable to extract it off the multicart it came on.

It has been so long since I last played my Amiga.


This is the greatest line of computers ever made.


First up on the gaming menu this evening is Turbo Tomato by @nivrig! This is one that I shamefully haven't played before but I decided to give it a go after experiencing the brilliance of Rogue Declan Zero.


This game is frantic vegetable blasting action with wonderfully colourful visuals.

Found a multicart with a previously unknown (at least to me) pirate translation of Pokemon: Crystal Version. Unfortunately it doesn't work in emulators and it doesn't save on-cart.

My assumption (as I don't have a multimeter) is that the battery is dead so hopefully if I replace it I can at least play it that way. If that doesn't work then I'll have to just hope someone can provide support for the mapper or whatever is the behind the scenes problem one day.

Well, I've finally been tricked while buying bootlegs. Someone listed a Chinese copy of Pokemon: Jade on Xianyu featuring the alternate Pikachu head title screen in a green shell. When the package arrived at the agent's warehouse it was actually a different release of the game in a clear blue shell. The listing said that the condition was shown in the photos implying I'd get the pictured copy but I guess they were using it as an example photo (or it was a deliberate scam).

Maybe it'll end up being the Pikachu head version anyways, but I'm not really holding my breath for that one. Doesn't help that it'll cost more to ship now either. At least I'll have a 2004 Tian Ren release to go with my 2001 release.
