I love the artwork on those japenese titles!

[Crush Crawfish]

Nice finds! The unknown GB game is definitely an ultraman game, while the MD one is a Doraemon game. I don't know the exact names, but that should narrow it down. Hope I helped!

notcie the alex kidd game screenshot on the game gear box yet there isnt a Alex kidd for GG!!!!

[abdul]

Damn, Nice Megadrive lot

[AB Positive]

any of these for sale/trade?

[slownerveaction]

The MD game is Osomatsu-kun: Hachamecha Gekijou -- a platformer based on some anime show.

I don't know too much about the GB Bomberman game, but Hudson did apparently release a couple of GB games in Japan like that. There's also a Bonk GB game that came in tin can packaging.

[tholly]

wow...very nice finds....congrats

[soniko_karuto]

ultraman!!!

aside from that, uhm, it must be ultraman (j).gb

[MegaDrive20XX]

That Rockman World 2 GB may fetch a good price

[Ed Oscuro]

That Rockman World 2 GB may fetch a good price

Seconded...you know how much the US GB releases are worth.

As for the Mega Drive games...the price is a lot better than what I usually pay for MD stuff, but those are in pretty sad shape. Shadow Dancer is a nice find though - definitely my favorite of the box arts.

The left MD cart is Burning Force - a game I've never tried out but intend to. I don't know what the yellow box game is or the right loose cart.

ed, you've never played burning force??? it's a pretty cool space harrier on a futuristic bike shooter that's fairly short (and has some flicker), but the visuals are great, the music is really nice, and some of the bonus levels will probably make you go crazy when you try to grab the good stuff...

The game boy game is Ultraman, not sure which one though.

killer finds!

If you can't afford Panorama Cotton, Burning Force is your alternative.

The only differences with Panorama and Burning Force really is the plot setting. Otherwise, the game play engine of both games are identical.

You know, I've only been collecting/emulating/PLAYING stuff since 2002! If you include the PSX/N64 that just goes back to 1997. I have much catching up to do.

Besides, I spend lots more time reading and wasting time posting here than I do playing :P

Watch out for those japanese game gears, they have problems with american games the screen gets all jumbled I have seen it on 2 units. I actually bought one way back when it came out cuz it cost less then getting the American one. Mistake!

That Wonder Boy game never got released here. Its fun but bad slowdown.

If you can get ahold of a Master Gear convertor for your Game Gear so that you can play Master System games you will have some fun. Alot of the American Master System games will play their Japanese versions. This was a huge find for me back in the day. Wonder Boy 2 is way harder, Wonderboy 1 has different enemies. Tons of games change, its really cool!
