[mazonemayu]

taxi2: second pic, row 8, 2nd game

runabout: they are in fact one & the same game. first japanese edition (with the guitar) was called Super Runabout: San Francisco Bay (2000), which was later (2001) re-released in japan as Super Runabout: San francisco EDITION (< its written like this on the cover, in CAPS), this cover is a collection of in game pics. Came out in the US as Super Runabout: San Francisco Edition and in europe as Super Runabout: The Golden State

hope this helps

What is the game in the Japanese cover art, to the left of Rush Rush Rally Racing in the 5th picture?

Also, I'm not familiar with any of the sampler discs that came with DC magazines back in the day. I don't suppose any of the dream on discs contain anything like... demos of ultimately unreleased games?

That reminds me of another DC question. Was there a DC centric magazine in Japan which came with sampler discs?

You mentioned that some european games don't run in VGA but their US counterparts do. You wouldn't happen to be able to list which ones would you? It would rather help me out. :)
Also as I think I mentioned earlier, I am very jealous of your collection :P

dark:
-wind & water puzzle battles, by Yuan Works

-I'm not 100% on the second question, I'm pretty sure there aren't any, but I'll have to check it out coz I hadn't had em on in quite some time

Ah yes, I'm familiar with the updated list http://www.epforums.org/showthread.p...list-amp-Guide
The first few times I read it I didn't notice any differences, clearly I wasnt looking very hard

[mazonemayu]

this month I only got 3 games, as I needed some funding to redo my games room. so I ended up with

-gundam side story 0079 ntsc us
-q*bert ntsc us
-midway's greatest arcade hits volume 2 ntsc us (I still need to get this, as the seller accidentally sent volume 1)

meanwhile a few pics on the updated room to keep you going ;)

before:



after:



I still need to get 1 set of those small drawer things next month to add to the left & then I'll be finished

and Midway's greatest hits volume 2 finally arrived today. I've also just pre-ordered sturmwind

[skarpo01]

Nice collection! Drawers full of dreamcast games... Hell yeah!

[dark]

Nice setup :) Looks very professional and orderly with the black shelves.

I just got a US black sports dreamcast today. It looks really cool in person and slightly different from how I've seen it in pictures and videos - the black plastic is actually really shiny, I think its a slightly different plastic mold than the white cases.

another clam style promo arrived today: bust-a-move 4, this one comes with a white label inside. I updated the original pic, its the one on the left



Ms Pac Man Maze Madness (US)
The Last Blade 2 (US)
The King Of Fighters Evolution (US)
NFL QB Club 2001 (US)

arrived today, I'm now 13 games short on my US games ;) the end is near

also this arrived today, a PAL promotional GD case

Hey Mayu, on the Japanese side of the collection, maybe you should consider looking at the ebay seller "hit-japan". It must be some kind of retro game outlet in Japan because he/it has been posting multiple back to back auctions of 100 Japanese dreamcast games with free shipping. For the last few weeks.

The seller seems sophisticated, so you probably won't find a copy of Border Down in with the wholesale lots. But I see plenty of JPN only games in the lots that are posted.

Some pics from a current auction:

[mazonemayu]

I've bought from him on many occasions in the past, its always 100% ok. he's one of the guys I check first when I need something japanese ;)

arrived today:



one to go ;)

[mazonemayu]

-planet ring white label
-dreamcast magazine planet ring (full version of the game that came with the mag, has a slightly different cover than the regular version)

US:

-espn nba 2night
-ncaa collece football 2k2 (already had this, but manual was lacking)
-KOF dream match 99

I'll update my pictures soon, but there's some more stuff on its way(something special this time ;-)), I expect it this or next week so keep your eyes open...

-brandnew green Godzilla vmu (godzilla vmu collection is now complete)

You've got all four of them? Well done!

[dark]

Sturmwind? ;-)

[mazonemayu]

You've got all four of them? Well done!

there's only 3: the 2 with the statues (ghidorah & gamera) & the godzilla one. for a long time I myself thought there were 4 until I went digging in sega's hardware serial numbers :-)

and no Dark; not sturmwind (but now that you mention it, that too should arrive pretty soon)

[Shinebi]

That's incorrect: If you remember, I had the Mothra VMU!
(or are you referring to that one, since it comes with Ghidora?)

[mazonemayu]

mothra = ghidora, there's only 3

[Kron]

No theres a fourth one not alot of people know about. Its a competition item. I outbid one of the forum members here last year on YJA to get it.

pics or it didn't happen ;-) (not that I don't believe you m8, but there's only 3 HKT serial numbers for godzilla themed vmus, thus there should be only 3 vmus)
