So I have managed to bag two more games out of the list so it is rapidly shrinking to the magic number of 0. Today we have….

First up is Destruction Derby Raw/Porsche Challenge double pack, and secondly we have GZSZ 3. The 2nd one has been a right pain to try and get hold of I might add. So that brings our list to

1. Bust A Move 2 / Bust A Move 3DX
2. Castlevania Symphony Of The Night Limited Edition
3. Grand Theft Auto: Double Feature
4. Rayman Junior: Anfaenger
5. Star Ocean: The Second Story

And I can already inform you that 2 more of the above games are winging their way to the Defconsoft household as we speak.

Secoundly and on the topic of the big games hunt I am about to put out a plea.

Yep thats right, anyone giving me information which directly leads me to acquiring this game will be rewarded with an extremely special surprise from the Defconsoft vaults. So please look extra hard in every crevice. hole or launch a stealth attack on Ataribuff’s house and get me this game.

Now finally I would like to show you something rather special in my eyes. Here take a look at this.

Notice anything about it? Hmm maybe I will leave this out for debate before I give you the real answer to what it is. If you have any ideas then throw them up in the comments. If anyone guesses the answer and gives me the actual story behind it I will give that person a custom forum title.

Lets see how far your knowledge really goes:)

As correctly guessed by Tinsair this is an exclusive holographic cover edition only available from the British store HMV. These do not show up that often, infact this is the first one I have seen. And to prove it here is the ad from the OPSM magazine for May 98. Tinsair message me with a custom title that you would like.

Cheers
Defcon

Yes another 3 off the list, and thats Namco Museum 4 (with a big thanks to Bucky-B for this one), Moorhuhn Kart and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Double Pack. So that brings us down to just 7 needed, those being….

1. Bust A Move 2 / Bust A Move 3DX
2. Castlevania Symphony Of The Night Limited Edition
3. Destruction Derby Raw / Porsche Challenge
4. Grand Theft Auto: Double Feature
5. Gute Zeiten – Schlechte Zeiten: Vol. 3
6. Rayman Junior: Anfaenger
7. Star Ocean: The Second Story

We are getting very close now, but can we do it before the end of the year? Thats the aim so we will just have to see.

Now onto the post title. Lady Defcon managed to find this little beauty tucked away on eBay Germany a few weeks ago and she has been begging me to throw it up to show you all. Well since its a poster and I still have a few posters to throw up I decided now would be a good time, and use it to start a new poster update marathon so for the next few days I will be bringing you a new poster everyday!!!!

And todays is the aforementioned Resident Evil 2 poster.

Now I have seen this poster a grand total of 1 times in the wild and this is the one you are looking at now, the reason why I think it could be rare is because its from Germany and Resident Evil didn’t really get a warm welcome in old Germanland. If anyone can tell me otherwise I will be willing to retract its rarity, but for now I think this is one rare bad boy poster!!! Nice find Lady Defcon.

Well there we go, day one of the latest Defcon Poster Marathon in the bag, come back tomorrow for another cool new poster.

Cheers
Defcon

But Defcon, I hear you scream, how is the collection going? Well I have enough stuff to do my biggest marathon of updates ever so closer to the end of the year be on the look out for lots and lots of updates from me. Including some cool joysticks, some nice merchandise and much much more.

Wait a second Defcon, I hear you cry out in anguish, what about the PAL Games Collection? You know your attempt to equal the feats of the one they call Ataribuff, to his face and smellypants behind his back? Well hows this for you?

Four more big ones for the collection bringing the total number needed down to only 10 games!!! Here we have Midway Arcade Greatest Hits 2 (The Midway Collection 2), Tail Concerto, Super Pang Collection, and finally a sealed copy of Time Bokan Yattaman!!

That brings the needed list to….

1. Bust A Move 2 / Bust A Move 3DX
2. Castlevania Symphony Of The Night Limited Edition
3. Destruction Derby Raw / Porsche Challenge
4. Grand Theft Auto: Double Feature
5. Gute Zeiten – Schlechte Zeiten: Vol. 3
6. Moorhuhn Kart
7. Namco Museum Vol. 4
8. Rayman Junior: Anfaenger
9. Star Ocean: The Second Story
10. Who Wants To Be a Millionaire / Who Wants To Be a Millionaire: 2nd

So its starting to get closer to working out which game is going to be the last one I manage to pick up, so far my pick is still in there, that being GTA Double Feature which is an ANZ only release and I have only ever seen twice. So what about you guys? Want to change your pick, or stick with those that you have chosen.

Well guys thats it for now, keep on rocking the forums and posting the really interesting stuff that you do, and any people just dropping by for a look come say hello, you never know you might be able to tell us something that even we do not know.

Cheers
Defcon

Rest assured however things will be changing soon and I will have a lot more time to concentrate on bringing you some ‘banging’ updates.

Speaking of updates shall we see how the Great Games Hunt is going?

Yep even though I have been busy I have managed to pick up another 3 games off the list, dropping it down to the low number of 14 still to get. And to be honest if I got off my lazy arse and just bought some of them we could drop this by a long way. Its still interesting to try and guess which game will be the last on the list. So far Coop has offered up the guess of Tail Concerto, which may well be a good guess. Anybody else fancy a guess at what I will bag as my last game?

Anyway for now here is the still to get list.

1. Arcade’s Greatest Hits: The Midway Collection 2
2. Bust A Move 2 / Bust A Move 3DX
3. Castlevania Symphony Of The Night Limited Edition
4. Destruction Derby Raw / Porsche Challenge
5. Grand Theft Auto: Double Feature
6. Gute Zeiten – Schlechte Zeiten: Vol. 3
7. Moorhuhn Kart
8. Namco Museum Vol. 4
9. Rayman Junior: Anfaenger
10. Star Ocean: The Second Story
11. Super Pang Collection
12. Tail Concerto
13. Who Wants To Be a Millionaire / Who Wants To Be a Millionaire: 2nd
14. Yattaman: Time Bokan

Like I said soon you will see some more input from me on the site, and hopefully it may buck AtariBuff into action.

Cheers
Defcon

Instead lets focus on more pressing matters. 2 more targets taken down.

So judgement day is getting closer, maybe I should open up a competition to see who can guess what the last game I am going to nail is going to be. I have a feeling I know already which one is going to be the pain in the arse to find but what are your thoughts.

Well its time I went off and found one of those cake things with candles in. Take it easy guys and see you soon.

Cheers
Defcon

Its a secret!!!!

But I have been busy toiling with code and databases and websites and lots of strange things, add to that I am currently in final week of the latest game I am working on so its all hands to the pump at the moment.

I still have time to show you some downed targets however.

With thanks to Coop for the Megaman 4 I managed to knock these four of the list. But also…..

I got a package from Austria that contained these little beauties. I hadn’t included these in the list as I knew AtariBuff was good for them so its kind of like a bonus surprise. Cheers AtariBuff, both the missus and me appreciate it.

So what does that do to the list then? Well howsabout this….

2. Arcade’s Greatest Hits: The Midway Collection 2

Thats right baby we are sub 20!!!!!! The end is in site. Also Gekioh is in italics because I just bought it, and might even have 2 copies arriving. Its like buses isn’t it, you wait ages for one then two arrive at the same time. The spare is already ear marked for a trip to New Zealand should it turn up however as Coops has been a great help in offering to a) send it to me and b) grab me Megaman 4. Cheers Coop.

Well thats it for now, I just wanted to pass on the joyous sub 20 news. More from me real soon hopefully.

Cheers
Defcon

So thats 102 Dalmations, Demolition Racer, NBA In The Zone 2000, The Raiden Project and X Men vs Street Fighter. The last one weighed in at a hefty £3 which is the bargain of the week as far as I am concerned. So that leaves me with …..

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
