A small group of unboxed Japanese games for £1 for all 6 discs: Fighting Vipers, Daytona USA, Wangan Dead Heat + Real Arrange, Shinsetsu Yume Miyakata (Mansion of Hidden Souls) and Marriage. TBH I was paying the £1 for Fighting Vipers and the rest is gravy.
Not sure how far my limited Japanese skills will get me in the last two however.

$24 after shipping, but I have no idea what condition it's in. I just randomly stumbled across it. The website has been around for a while but it seems as though things can go either way with them. It's related to the old Atari BattleSport, right? The one that's been remade for PSVR? I actually do not know if it has anything to do with the Atari game. It was originally done by and for 3DO. Near the end of the 3DO, they cut a deal to bring some of their games to Saturn and PS1. This and Killing Time were supposed to be brought over. There were even some ads for KT with the Saturn logo on it in Gamepro but it never got released. Was kind of disappointed as it was quirky FPS I would have enjoyed trying. But anyway even if its disc only, $24 is a steal.

I think I've finished off my retro budget for a while, just bought Panzer Dragoon Saga. Found a seller in Spain selling copies with just discs 2, 3, and 4 (and both cases). Seeing as I already had a PAL disc one, I bought one. $238 is steep but I haven't seen an NTSC copy for that in years.

My latest batch of JPN imports arrived. Should keep me busy for a while! Some great pick ups I see. The Gundam Side Stories are great, so is Bomberman Fight and Grandia. Grandia will probably test your patience as you'll need a Game FAQS translation but stick with it, it's epic. Deep Fear and Virtual On of course are great games too.

I picked up the Gundam games on a whim, I have no experience with the series but they look cool and are well regarded.
Bomberman Fight and Grandia I remember wanting back in the day after reading coverage in Sega Saturn Magazine but never got round to importing them. I did consider playing Grandia on the PS1 as it's translated but the consensus seems to be that the Saturn version is far superior so I'm going to see how I get on with the GameFAQS guide and also dig out my old SSM's as I remember them having an extensive guide. Pretty crazy - I remember poring over those issues as a kid wanting Grandia so bad and here I am some 20 years later finally about to play it.
Deep Fear I hear is mostly in English so I'm happy to put up with the odd Japanese item description to save myself £200!

There's one on eBay right now. (Not mine )

Deep Fear I hear is mostly in English so I'm happy to put up with the odd Japanese item description to save myself £200! Grandia is definitly doable with a translation guide. I recently completed the Saturn version using the same method. Although you might find it easier and quicker using 'Sleepyfoogy' visual walkthru of the ps1 on Youtube. You will struggle with Enemy Zero though. Knowing the game like I do, personally I would have gone for the PAL/US version as it's not something I'd ever want to play if I'm not fully immersed in the story. With Michael Nyam on the score, its beautifilly designed to pull you in but without knowledge of the story the experience may be a bit empty and pointless tbh. Plus there are some vocal directives that lead to in game progression. Each to their own I guess. You may still enjoy it though.

Got this today. No manual, but disc is in good condition. For 42£ it's pretty much a steal

I just bought Sega Rally PAL I would have assumed you already had the NTSC version? Would this be your first time playing it?
