Finally my first order of 2017 has arrived! All games are complete in box with manual.

Mega Drive:
Kawasaki Superbikes
Old polygonal 3D games warm my heart and this a really good one on the Mega Drive, with flat-shaded polygonal graphics and good driving physics, it's a late release for the system though, coming out in 1995 (same year as Loaded on PlayStation, read on for more about that further down) but at least it's a game that takes advantage of that fact and delivers an experience that doesn't feel too left behind compared to the powerful next gen consoles that had just come out.

Game Boy Advance:
Hot Wheels Stunt Track Challenge (new, factory sealed)
A great polygonal 3D racer with texture-mapped polygonal cars, a stunt trick system and offensive/defensive pickups. I'm enjoying this one a lot.

PlayStation:
Loaded
The classic top-down shooter that lets you play as literally insane over-the-top characters, blasting away everything that foolishly dares cross your path to freedom after having been locked away deep inside the maximum security prison planet known as RAULF. I prefer the sequel Re-Loaded for the expanded and evolved gameplay, but the original is still great fun, if a bit repetitive in nature.

PlayStation 2:
Taito Legends 2 (new, factory sealed)
A rather good collection of games with some excellent PS2 exclusive titles such as RayStorm and G-Darius.
V-Rally 3
I've enjoyed the GBA version of V-Rally 3 for many years so it's nice to finally get one of the proper console original versions. I'm a bit mixed in my feelings about it so far though, it's an early release for PS2, coming out in 2001, but even by then it wasn't pushing the system like the GBA version did. There's stuttering in the framerate, screen tearing, no real-time reflections on the car and the controls for no good reason whatsoever leave the right analog stick completely unused, instead having you accelerate on X, brake on square and use the handbrake on circle. It feels very archaic using that setup in a PS2 game, and there are also no alternative controller configuration options. The cars look nicely detailed and the environments look on par with other rally racers at the time though so it's not all bad.

I got the double case with the extra manual with some added translations. There's english, french, german, italian, spanish and dutch in the first one and danish, swedish and finnish in the second one.

I'd like to make a correction here as I've found out the game was originally released in the US in 1994, a year prior to the PAL release (the PAL release is copyrighted 1995 on the back of the box and was published in 1995, so yeah, my copy of the game is still from 1995 regardless), but this means the game is actually a year older than I initially thought, which isn't a bad thing at all, it only makes it that much more impressive.

That one wasn't me, I have never played that one.

Hahaha you are right, I've shoulder have done that. I need to get a move on that. I was thinking about it for last couple of weeks. This is the perfect time for me to get back to it.



I know leaon79s was one, maybe dschult3 was the other one. I can't remember.
