And now the end is near…
June 24, 2008 | In Defcon | 7 CommentsThose immortal words are ringing out in the Defconsoft household at the moment, and its all due to us hitting the sub 30 mark in our hunt for all 1411 individual PAL releases. Thanks to recent additions mainly due to Lady Defcon hunting around like a mad lady we have really managed to knock our needed games number down, and bagged some nice bargains in the process. Also thanks to AtariBuff and coop1826 promising us some other games the light at the end of the tunnel is firmly in our sites and we are riding the last wave into the shore.

As you can see it mainly consists of non UK releases, expensive games, and games that have just been my nemesis. Games like Tiger Woods 2000, everytime I seem to get the Classic version, Nascar 2000 the same. And don’t even get me started on 102 Dalmations 
.
Now a lot of these will be picked up when I have the money or I can find an international seller that has a few of them to save on postage costs, cos I am tight.
However I am now going into sniper mode. Whenever one of these games arrives through my letterbox I will throw up a post to tell you so that you can all experience what its like to hunt for those final games in a collection.
And to give you something to look forward to, when the last one arrives I will throw up a photo on the site of both me and Lady Defcon and whatever game that might be.
So the real hunt begins now. Its time to get mean, get keen and nail down those final games. Keep tuned to see how we do.
Cheers
Defcon
Wish you two all the best when hunting down this few
And can’t wait to see a picture of both of you. My package is ready to fly to your island 
You’re in luck – I’m listing my Raiden Project tomorrow (after tons of soul-searching).
what’s a “gta double feature?”
That would be one of these

Its an Oz release.
Good luck
That’s an amazing collection. Only one of those missing games I own is Taxi 2 but it’s not up for sale/trade anyway :/
I’ve got the feeling a few of those should be easy to get in Germany?! Then again, I know nothing about PS!
yes, “Nascar 2k” and “Tiger Woods 2k” can be a pain in the behind.
Def, I think I also have “Rayman Jr: Anfänger” somewhere here. Will check and put it to the others.
There are not really and rare titles on your want-list. You will find a copy of Taxi 2 nearly every time you search for it on eBay.fr
I wish you two good luck.
That’s quite an achievement what you’re almost accomplishing.
I believe I saw a Nascar 2000 (original version) on a used games store here in Porto, Portugal. Next time I’ll check it out for you.
