Had a spare 15 mins. so got the games out and took a few pics... (about bloody time ! ;D) Here's the collection so far: Highlights (for me anyway) include.. MIB Mario Juggler, MIB Crystal BF, supercolors, and most of the widescreens are MIB. Also the Mitsubishi Mario Cement i picked up a few months ago. Nearly all have bags, batteries & paperwork, a few I've bought original batteries & bags and added afterwards... though only where appropriate....

Hi! Is it a sealed Parachute you got in your collection? Your collection looks super-nice Björn

Hi! Is it a sealed Parachute you got in your collection? Your collection looks super-nice Björn Unfortunately not.... it's all mint and original in there but the seal has been broken... I've had that one since 1999, it was one of the few I kept when I stupidly sold up.

They look great and congrats on your decision to collect the games again! It's not an easy decision to make, I know! Michael

lol.. you can say that again Thing is the Factory fresh DK-52 & The parachute were the only one's I kept... I had most of the multi screens in that condition, Oil panic, Greenhouse, Safebuster, Goldcliff,Squish, Lifeboat & Rainshower.. I sold them all in 2000 for £60 each BIN.. gutted. It's important to me (for some reason) to get these back in the same condition, which is wht I'm taking my time with the Multiscreens.

Well, you can forget about getting them for 60 pounds now, that's for sure! But the prices were so low then and Ebay was in its infancy.. Michael

Why did you sell the games back in 2000 then? I've seen some collectors that sell their complete collections, and they start again! Sorry but i don't understand it, specially with MIB games. You may never find again another in such good condition. Quality games are getting harder to find and pay! Anyway, congratulations for your collection and keep them this time!

Why did you sell the games back in 2000 then? one word.... CASH ! I needed to buy things like prams etc.... following the birth of my 1st, seemed daft at the time to have a load of cash sitting in a cupboard..

It's a very common story...... Such a shame to have to sell up and whitter the money away on necessities like that, though. I have reserved the money from the sale of some games and will be buying a new plasma TV and a new camera I'll be reminded of what good my games did for me every time I watch TV or look at one of my photos on the wall. Matt, your pram may already be on the scrap heap and you have nothing to show for all that hard collecting. Sorry to make you feel bad! Andy
