This game I got a little while ago also.
I had never heard of it, but it seemed interesting to me and I kinda prefer such kinds of shooters above the "realistic" ones most of the time.

Top Gun: Fire At Will from Ebay UK. The S/H cost is much more agreeable than that of Ebay US.

I went to a C64 meetup today and came home with

...well, this. I am *unbelievably* stoked to have this, I'm almost beside myself. This is probably my all-time favorite game, I played the hell out of it when I was a kid and made hundreds of maps for it, and I *still* play it every now and then to this day. If you put all the time I've ever spent on stuff on a pie chart, *this game alone* would probably be a visible slice on it.

The thing is, I never had a legit copy before and I've never even *seen* the original box. When I was young you could rent games at a "software library" and also rent all the latest diskcopy tools and copy-protection breakers so that's what we did. 😜 Getting a real disk of this in such mint shape is special. I certainly never, EVER, expected to find one anymore in 2016 (not that I was particularly looking.)

^^ Appropriately enough this is picture #1541 on my camera. 😜

And yes, it does work, I tried it out. I'm actually going to image this if I can find my 1541 transfer cable. I have never found a copy of this online that didn't have read errors, so hopefully I can do better. No mold or dust or discoloration on the disk surface anywhere. BTW you can click these pics to zoom WAY in if you wanna have a look at the box art.

I think games are meant to be played, and yeah I AM gonna dump the disk play it, but this is getting framed and hung on my wall. I'm NOT kidding.

...Oh yeah I also got some TI99/4A games. Nothing too rare or exciting but a few good ones in there. Double score!

If you're wondering about the prices on those carts, know that (a) they are *completely* out to lunch, and (b) I didn't pay anywhere near that for them. So yeah.

Tunnels of Doom is one I really want for my TI99/4A. Not especially hard to find, but not easy either.

Turns out in my mall there is a proper brick-and-wall game store that has a lot of retro gaming items (like consoles from Atari 2600 onwards as well as actual games). So I got this. I will definitely be going back.

^^ Nice score! Seems there's a local shop in every town these days - all those old games had to go somewhere 😁

Tunnels of Doom looks interesting, but seems to need an extra data disk or tape which I don't have, so I haven't been able to play it. Honestly a lot of original TI99 games are absolute crap, even by pre-C64 standards. Super Demon Attack is completely awesome in a bad acid trip sort of way, by far my favorite of the bunch. Munchman is competent, Tombstone City is awkward but playable, Yahtzee is kinda sad with one player & no physical dice, and Hunt the Wumpus is one of the worst "games" I've ever played on anything. 😜 It had me shouting at the screen in disbelief that they'd ever tried to sell it for money.

Fortunately the TI99 is getting some fantastic homebrew these days. But I can totally see why this thing tanked.

Finally I got the big box Discworld 2 so I can put my BIG BOX DW2 on display. 😁

Just got another piece of Ultima from eBay (there was also a soft cover Ultima guide by Shay Addams included in the bid):

^ niceeeee

WONDERFUL CATCH - congratulations, Avatar!

Got those gems today. Backing up the disks as we speak.

Another good finding - love Pirates! and Star Trek 25th - congratulations vlad.

Managed to finally get my hands on a Finnish version of Alien Incident. It seemed more popular on the Amiga back in the day, I haven't seen the PC version...well, ever.

Yet another Ultima added to my collection. 😁

Simply fantastic *___*

I've to finish this nice title, yet... great background to the main storyline.

Yet more Ultima.

And flea market find: Curse of Monkey Island on sleeve (not even proper CD cover... but what the hey it was 1€).

Dawn Patrol: Head To Head. I'll just need to find the manual, to replace my lost one. Turned out the cheapest item comes with the CD, so....

Recently received this:

I have fond memories of playing the demo of this game during a summer vacation, on a crappy P90 laptop that my mother borrowed from work. Now I can finally play the whole game! It comes with some sort of mission-pack and even an official soundtrack.

And since the topic doesn't specify PC-only, I'll chuck this one in as well:

part of the Bit-generation series for the GBA. Not a great game, but it's a cool novelty and it was cheap.

Actually finished Incubation the first time round, it's a great game. Quite tense in the later levels and you build an attachment to your troops.

Yeah, the attachment is one of the things I remember, even though I only played the demo. Good to hear about later tension, sounds promising. 😀
