Private Joker's Master System Collection

...and where is it going?!?

After close to two years, I thought it was time to reflect on where I got with my collection and see in which direction it is heading. What better time to do this now that I have collected a full set of European Master System games?!  To be quite honest, at one point, it was getting a bit out of control. I decided it was necessary to collect all region variants. However, a few weeks after that decision and getting more and more ...

The hunt for region variations has begun with these three German releases. I already owned Transbot, but my copy was missing the manual. Now I've got one copy up for trade and ideally, I'd be looking for other region variants.

Here are the games:

Very good overall condition but no hang tabs to be seen...

This is it. It took me a week longer than normal but that wasn't because I couldn't find the games, I was just too busy. There is a lot of stuff going on for us here. My girlfriend is moving to Sweden in a couple of weeks after nailing a really good job in Stockholm. I'm so proud of her, but a bit mixed feelings about having to live the next year alone. It's all for a good cause I keep saying and that's exactly what it is.

What do you mean, "I'm not done reading the previous blog entry!"? Try to keep up, I don't have a lot of time!

Some of you might remember the series of Smurfs 2 that were sold from Italy for prices starting at three times 20 Euro up to 129 Euro for the seller's last copy. It was exciting to see it afterwards and even tho...

We're getting closer to the full set! Three more games today and then one last episode next week to top it off. This week, it was a bit harder to come up with three games but I found some during the week and wrote them down. Why are they hard to remember? Most likely because they didn't leave that much of an impression or because I don't really like the genre. I still have some big title left so threw in one of those today as well.
