Hey there you bearded Pirate! That's an extremely nice collection you have overthere! Congrats! You've certainly photographed those games from all possible angles, didn't you? Regards, Pieter

Call that a collection? Pah! You don't even have a PS fire attack! In all seriousness though, they do make a great photo all together. I especially like the ones where they are stacked on top of one another, so you can see the thin edges of the boxes. Shows you how consistent the box designs were. It makes it a lot simpler to imagine what a chef or turtle bridge would look like (and I honestly believe they will turn up eventually). Andy

Maxime - Thank you sir! I hope you get the same as me too, minus the NOA DK3! Phil - Thanks man! NOA/PS games are not easy to find in nice boxes. I agree that they're pretty darn nice! Pieter - Thanks PV! Bearded Pirate? But I shaved it off.... Not really, but, even if I did, I've always got some scruff growing in seconds after I shave! (one of the benefits of being Greek, right Mike?) Yeah, I tried to do a few things differently. Even photographing the back of the boxes, as subtle as that may seem to most, the fact is, hardly anyone looks at the back of their boxes, so, now, everyone will know what 20 NOA/PS games look like from the back! (Never mind the Greek jokes either okay?) Andy - Thanks AC! Hee hee! I've done one better, I've got the NOA DK3!!! I too really liked the stacked photo shots too. It's another uncommon way to look at boxed games in general, let alone, NOA/PS games. Re: Chef & TB - They gotta be out there man, somewhere, someone will find one, if not both of them! Mike - Thanks Mike! Who would have thought we'd ever see that eh? LOL! Ulf - Thanks UC! How about if I start you off with the NOA DK3? Will you get back in the collecting game then??? Maybe I'll be 80 when I get the other ones that are missing.... Yeah, I can't wait either! Very disappointed in Canada losing to the Russians like that! Oh well, we can't win them all! Gregg - Merci mon ami! Beni - Thanks for the kind words BVD! Well, Taki has more than me, but, I have the one game everyone seems to want, so, that should count for something, right? Lots of difficult ones still left to get though. Yes! That would be cool to combine them all!!! I couldn't imagine travelling with them all though.... I'd be terrified of something happening to them!!! Alan - Thanks mate! Yeah, don't get started with NOA/PS collecting. If people thought collecting the regular 60 was expensive, they better steer well clear of these pretty ones. LOL! AC

It's great to finally see them all lined up like that, Aris. Truly an awesome collection. Your persistence paid off. Now show us a PS Chef next time!
