I actually don't like the game. Prerendered 3d graphics and super-annoying "MegaHost" - Lance Boyle. I picked it up as it was from the same seller as some of the more interesting game and only payed 5 USD for this one.
I think the most precious of all is System Shock. I did not expect to get one, as the prices on E-bay for this title are CRAZY (150-160 Eur), but then one such game was listed a local bidding service and I finaly got it for 25 USD equivalent.
And I think the most valuable game in this lot is sitting in the bottom row, second to the left...
By the way, System Shock is usually around 50 EUR in continental Europe.
I loved Megarace - it looks good, has a fantastic FM soundtrack, and was easy/fun enough for me to beat it back in the day. Always had a thing for 3D-rendered rail shooters though, which it essentially is. I thought the "host" character was perfect - in the first game. In all the sequels the directors just told him to "do what you did, only moreso" and the humor fell flat on its face.

Found a dirty (DIRTY!) old 486DLC. Haven't powered it on yet, I'm probably going to bring it inside piece by piece so that I can wash everything.
That case is a real winner. That's also the case that I'm using to house my 386. It's ultra compact, yet still able to take almost full height AT cards.
I know this is a bit out of topic, as this is mostly a hardware forum, but I still wanted to share with you the PC games I got this December. Most of them I found pretty chepa locally, and some seem very collectable.

Not a hardware but definitely retro stuff... Good that my "must have" games list is short...
Crystal seems to be missing, already ordered a replacement...
Terratec Soundcard and Soundblaster also looking interesting...
WTF?! 😕 The lot already arrived. I asked the seller to take care for the packing and he did it very well, every single card was packed in a newspaper.
Most cards look like new...but the most important one...looks like somebody did some soldering practice on it?!
So I need some more parts than the crystal I already ordered....
Does anybody have this card? What caps do I need? Dont find a photo where I can see it?
The Terratec soundcard itself is in perfect shape..
Then there are several other cards...somebody looking for a Elsa Winner III AGP with Trident Blade 3D chip? There are 7 of them 😲

It's very likely that the card is dead anyway. See, if someone already soldered on it, it was broken before and someone tried to repair it. Whatever he did, he caused even more damage. While it's sad, I would toss the card and call it a day. It was probably sold as scrap for a reason. Otherwise, it would have been sold separately for good money.
