My spoils from Korea (lots of pics)

If I remebmer right a discussion came about whether "Infant school" was sailor moon and it is in fact Lum. ..and that game is terrible oh gosh it's terrible

 

Second image: Its a coolboy, a portable nes but with it's own unique carts.

Third image: It's a PC game with a modified version of the gens emulator which runs various sonic roms including some weird hacks.

Fourth image: Yep, chip and dale with sonic sprites.

 

Aww, Samsung Saturn games! Lucky git! Did you see any Samsung Saturn consoles out there?

That's a good haul, well done ;-)

 

No only a Samsung 3D controller. The tricky thing about korea is that all of the retailers are aware of the collectors market and people like me looking for a good deal. Many items were kept out of reach and sight behind the counter and gaining their trust to go and have a look as a westerner was often tricky. The best way seemed to be to buy something trivial for about $30 and then inquire more once they knew you were willing to spend money. However I couldn't always afford to be so crafty.

Many times they outright refused to sell some stuff. Koreans also have no respect for their games and consoles, many items were damaged or in bad condition, there was a divers dreamcast sitting on a counter covered in dirt, action figures and stickers...a real waste.

I should be heading back there in a month or two and I now know of a few more places to pick up good stuff. The location I found this stuff in should be dry by now as I pretty much bought all of the worthwhile games, the systems on the other hand I couldn't bring home with me.

 

Cool - let me know if you find any Samsung Saturn hardware or games - I'd be interested ;-)

 

Great collection! Do you have any GT games or second Tokyo-Seoul?

 

I don't have anything left from Korea anymore.

I still have a few friends over there but I'm yet to convince anyone to do any shopping for me.
