Happy 4th July and Independence day to everyone, I know I'm late. I got some cool finds including a Sega CD game which came in the post. Continue reading to see what I got.

This weeks Car Boot hunt wasn't the best but it was definitely better than last weeks. This was the first game find I got, it was in a huge box full of VHS tapes and this was the only game. I got it for 50p, I also noticed when I was at home was that the full title is Spider-Man vs The King Pin, which there is a Mega CD port...I'll get that sometime.

I saw the collector guy again (and got his name too), sadly he didn't have any Mega CD games at all but it didn't bother me. I showed him my sealed copy of Jungle Book for the Game Gear and we agreed to trade so I got these three games for just 3 instead of whatever price he would've offered (my guess is around 8-10 from previous things I bought off him). Unfortunately he had to open the game to see if everything was inside (and it did, in pristine condition, so I can safely say it was Factory Sealed when I bought it) after we agreed but since it's not my game any more I shouldn't complain.

YES, I GOT SNATCHER!!!! I looked through eBay (on the same night Andy Murray was playing in Wimbledon) and I saw an auction for this game with only 3 bids, and it was at $86 with 3 hours left. So I waited and thought about it before agreeing to myself to have a try at the auction, so I placed a bid on the very last minute, and the auction ended at 58.41 ($95.60), and including the postage totalled it to a little over 65! So I paid almost half of what people want to buy it for. Sure it may not be as impressive as some other people's Snatcher finds (NES_Man, even if you are great at getting stuff in the wild, I find it hard to believe the price you got your copy of Snatcher for: http://www.rfgeneration.c...arewell-and-Recap-818.php)

and speaking of Snatcher...

I've been wanting to see this film since I won it on eBay, so I was looking through every single box and area that had VHS tapes until I saw this, it makes up for last week when I saw two copies, didn't buy them and when I wanted to, never saw them again.

And just for laughs

Yes I found a Saw on the side of a road on my way home from the car boot. laugh

Cool finds, and congrats on the Snatcher pickup! Is that the most expensive Mega CD game out there?
 
@Sirgin:No, the American version of "Keio Flying Squadron" apparently goes for $250 and the EU version of "The Adventures of Batman and Robin" goes for £200 upwards in some auctions. But it's the most recognised High Priced Mega CD games that's for sure.
 
Wow, you even picked up the American Version! What's the pricing on the EU version of Snatcher?
 
@logical123:Varies, I've usually found it between £80 - £150 on eBay and online game stores.
 
sweet result on snatcher - have you had a chance to play it much?
 
@Seno:Yep, it's awesome! So awesome!
