Commodore Amiga 500+ Cartoon Classics

The Commodore Amiga 500+ was the final version of the 16-bit Amiga 500 home computer. It came with 1MB of RAM, sported an A520 modulator and the impressively multitasking Workbench 2.04. As for the cunningly named Cartoon Classics box set, well, it included an Amiga 500+, the classic 2D graphics programme Deluxe Paint 3, Lemmings, The Simpsons vs the Space Mutants and the rather shite Captain Planet eco-awareness game.

Happily anyone in the world can now grab an almost new Cartoon Classics Amiga over @ ebay. Just make sure you pay less than 30£/55$50 euros.

Snatcher for Sega Mega CD

Snatcher, a game by Hideo Kojima, is arguably the best thing you'll ever play on your Mega CD (a.k.a. Sega CD in the US). It's a dark, adult, violent, engrossing and frankly very easy graphic adventure, sporting some excellent manga graphics, a cyberpunk plot of rare quality and an impressive voice-over. It also is the only game of the Snatcher game family aimed at the English speaking crowd. You can find out more over at Hardcore Gaming 101 or at Moby Games.

The game, quite a rarity, has indeed showed up on ebay.co.uk again, but this time it's quite the bargain, as the seller offers free shipping, even though only for European and US residents. So, uhm, better click here to bid on Snatcher.

Panzer Dragoon Saga for Sega Saturn

The sole RPG in the Panzer Dragoon series by SEGA, released for the Sega Saturn in 1998. Panzer Dragoon Saga was developed as an RPG, rather than a rail shooter. The player's experience of the game was greatly enhanced by the distinctive soundtrack throughout the game. So large was the initial demand for the game, a shortage developed with many stores unable to meet their preorders for the title.

Alex Kidd Master System and 10 games...

Ah! Alex Kidd, Sega's ill fated original mascot! Before Sonic flaunted his spikey blue speed riddled ass all over the world, Sega had a rather odd looking posterboy in our Alex. The oldest Master Systems have an Alex game built in, and this fine example has a bundle of games to go with it, and is obviously in full working order...

A brilliant bundle for any Master System wannabe... In fact there is a rather Master System lacking Gnome out there who could do a lot worse than taking advantage of this particular lot.

Have a look here...

Vectrex console & games

Usually going for 50-75£ in the retro gaming market, the Vectrex (first release: 1982 US, followed by a 1983 UK & Japan release) is a pretty rare and very unique console, sporting a crisp 9" monitor and some pretty impressive vector graphics. The console only had 28 games officially released for it, but is happily supported from an incredibly lively homebrew and indy scene to this day (try the Vectrex resource center, Vectrexcarts and Vectorzoa) .

Residents of North & South America, Europe and Australia with even a passing interest in retro gaming might be interested in a pretty interesting Vectrex and video games ebay auction. The (boxed) games are Rip Off, Starship, Cleansweep and Scramble. As for the console, well, it's in mint condition but consoley flavour and obviously coming with the built-in Minestorm game and a fancy Vectrex controller.
