Predator 2 is a belter of a game! I remember picking this up second-hand from a friend at school 25 years (yikes, a quarter of a century!!) ago. I was buying QuackShot, and he decided to throw in Predator 2 because he thought I’d like it. I really wasn’t expecting much (“meh, it’s a movie license - it’s bound to be rubbish”), but I absolutely loved it. I see that you’re still looking for True Lies… if you like Predator 2, you’ll probably have a great time with True Lies as well. It’s a *lot* harder than Predator 2, but persevere and you’ll have a real blast with it - in my opinion, it’s a criminally under-rated Mega Drive game.

Fatal Fury 2 is a great edition to your collection. I recently sold my copy to fund my partners maternity leave. I don't remember the edge flaw in the manual but I sold it five months ago so my memory is vague on that aspect. Most manuals in Australia were landscape rather then portrait. Most also have a foldout design too. Two other publishers sold Genesis games in Australia, Trade West and Acclaim. The Trade West Genesis releases had a "Approved Sega Import" sticker. Acclaim games had a sticker on the inside of the box under the manual that said 'distributed by Village Roadshow.' Love seeing you collection grow.

Lol. This is funny because I literally just picked up Fatal fury 2 for the Genesis yesterday. Not quite as expensive but $70 is still up there for an old game. Totally worth it though. Nice pick ups!
@RetroGamerBoy6 ай бұрын
It's crazy how in one country a game will be under 100 and in another over 1000. Its the same with Crusader of Centy. It's 90 here in the UK but can go for over 1000 North America.

Me at the beginning: "No way I'm spending 30min watching a video about a single expensive game, despite my curiosity!" Me at the end: "That was actually a very entertaining episode!" BTW, that must _really_ be a rare game. I've never seen any ROMs for it, didn't even know a PAL version existed before this video! Just made some research here and found out that there was an unreleased European version of it too. The more you know!
@RetroGamerBoy6 ай бұрын
Yup, I think there are one or two copies of the EU version out there.
@sonicsju6 ай бұрын
Actually to clarify on your showcase of the PAL Fatal Fury 2. Japanese MD games did use standard screws to seal their games, it’s only that their information label on the back were wide enough to cover the holes where the screws are located, their info label wasn’t imprinted to the cart itself, it was an adhesive label. Therefore “peeling off” the information label on the back voids the Japanese warranty a cart would carry.

That’s an awesome collection of games you’ve got under condition for the majority of them are absolutely immaculate. I’m very much the same when it comes to the condition of mega drive games. When I buy them they have to be near mint. I mean I don’t mind your wrinkle hair and their and instruction manual, but we have a lot of the games I’ve bought I’ve had to replace the cases because the case or rather the seafood wrapping finger around the case has been hanging off and in a few of the games I’ve bought and I’ve had to buy replacement mega drive clamshell cases and I love your enthusiasm and attention to detail. I really hope you get to complete your pal mega drive games collection.

As for predator 2 I’ve always been a big fan of this game and totally agree about the gameplay it’s a hidden gem. As for Larussa baseball I need to check my copy for what it came with but even if the stats cards are missing I’m not going to complain as I got it at a London game market a few years ago for £3 😀😀. Again amazing stuff and congrats on fatal fury 2 but I’ll just enjoy it on my megadrive mini 2 as I’ll never justify paying a couple of grand for a physical copy. All the best Jonathan 👍👍 ps international sensi soccer is prob my fave megadrive game for playability so great to see it in your collection 👏👏👏
