I've picked up 15 games this month and bar a couple of games I don't think I've paid much more than a couple of quid per game. Granted some of them aren't the best games around but the low cost of many of the games means I'm far more likely to take a punt on a title I might not have otherwise tried.

Slightly disappointed by a few games being missing their manual and one having the wrong version of the game in the box (Classics line disc in an original version box). With this in mind I need to get into the habit of checking the manual is there before buying.

Out of curiosity when did you get hold of your PoR copy?

Is the Retrocollect link in your sig up to date? Had a quick browse, pleased to see you've got PGR2, such a quality game. You need to get Burnout 3.

I have a copy of Pokemon Red back at my parents place but it was left on the window sill in my old room for years after I moved out so the label is all faded. I think my brother tried it in his GBA a few years back and surprisingly my save file was still intact.

One of the copies of Pokemon Yellow I have has damage to the lable and a few marks on the plastic , I was given this one by my brothe,r he found it when he apparently ran over it in a car park years ago. It worked a treat when he gave it me and it still works great bless Nintendo and there hard wearing carts lol

I once dropped my original Gameboy down a fight of concrete steps near my grandad's house and unbelievably it only suffered minor scuff damage to the back, still works 26 years later.

Might be worth it to see if it still works....

I've had N64,s from carboots covered in mud, ones from wet sheds etc they've all worked I'd say your odds are very good.

Kids today most likely won't experience reading an actual physical gaming magazine and I think that's a shame. But by the same token, time marches on and there's no stopping progress.
