Is one of the driving games called Impact Racing in Japan? I have been wondering if it is any good as i keep seeing it for pennies and was wondering if it's worth picking up while im having a breather from shmups. Highway 2000 is really the JPN Wangan Dead Heat + Real Arrange, and it's really damned great - super fun highway drifting.
High Velocity is the first JPN King The Spirits title, and is less awesome. It's got a vibe similar to the PSX racer 'Side By Side', but sadly it's nowhere near as enjoyable, largely owing to the lackluster controls and inconsistent drift mechanics Impact Racing is a different game entirely, and has that name in every territory, as far as I'm aware. It's a really neat drivey-shooty thing that's definitely worth the cheap asking prices.
Good to know i may get all the titles you mention as they cost next to nothing and have a break from shmups.

The Elite MYT Crusader is a good game. I should really finish it, but I had a lot of fun when we did a community playthrough of it a few years back Crusader was one of the first games I got since it was pretty cheap. Will have to try it again, the controls seemed awkward but didn't give it much of a chance. My recent pickups have been Sega Rally Champ. Plus(JP), Steamgear Mash, Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness, and Strikers 1945. Haven't tried the latter 3 yet.

Once you get used to it its pretty fun Saturnova! I also thought it was awkward at first, but once I gave it more of a chance I really liked it. That being said I did never finish it (got busy at the time )

Alright let's see if I can get this posted (bad reception). So I finally made it to my Uncle's place Up North even after he said he didn't find anything. I'm sure he didn't know what he was looking for but I did end up finding all the Saturn stuff and it wasn't hidden so that's why I think he just didn't know. I'll post pictures after this post on mobile if I can figure it out. So here's my treasure of games I found: Cardboard Sleeve w/GamesNights Sampler Bootleg Sampler 2CD Case w/GamesVirtua Fighter no booklet VF Remix (No Case) Nights (Blockbuster game with cut booklet and no back obviously) No Cases/Just DiscsWorld Series Baseball (has spots all over that won't come off) World Series Soccer Madden 98Longbox Games (full unless noted)Sonic 3D Blast (great find for me) Daytona USA (has see through data holes so Im not sure this will work) Clockwork Knight (no booklet) Cases only (No Games found)Command & Conquer (Full case with front but some staples are missing and the insides of the booklet are all missing) (If the remastered version didn't come out recently I would of played this if it had the games and been a great find. I would of still liked to have the discs but oh well.) Virtua Cop (CD Case back only, no booklet) Virtua Cop 2 (Long box with back only) (Funny enough at home I only have the booklet and game only lol and I didn't buy it like that either, it was given to me. Also the game doesn't work but still a cool find to fill mine) So I searched through what I could, all the games and/or cases were all dirty with dust and looks like possible molding. So luckily we brought some cleaning wipes with us and I was able to clean them off with them with the exception of baseball for some reason. So I think I got to these in time to save most of them for now, I just hope most of them work. Edit: Just tried out all games tonight and they all work except for the Soccer game, it just loads as an audio CD.

Recently picked up Detana Twinbee Deluxe Pack and Power Drift. I've wanted the latter for awhile and have enjoyed shmups lately so Twinbee's scratching that itch.

Sealed JP copy of the first Clockwork Knight game arrived yesterday, completing my sealed CK JP collection. It was a fun 10 years looking for the best deals, checking condition, etc, but I'm glad it's come to an end~

There aren't many more games I really want to add to my collection but those are two games that I would add. I used to have the Pop n Twinbee shmup for SNES (which graphically is between the 2 games on that pack) and is a really nice game. I sold my PAL copy of it but I intend to pick up a JP copy as well. Would be nice to have that and the Saturn version as they are different games. I sold Parodius on SNES once I got the Saturn versions as they are more or less the same only more solid on Saturn. The SNES ports look damn close but suffer from slowdown in places.

The SNES ports look damn close but suffer from slowdown in places. Thanks! Detana Twinbee is still relatively cheap, got it for around $30 US complete. I want the Parodius games(3 of em on Saturn?), but I think they're pretty expensive. Power Drift is around $75 US complete, think I got it for a little less than that. I actually had to do my first return through ebay for the first copy of Drift I tried to buy. When I got it, I found 8 pinholes through the disc(disc rot?) that weren't visible in the original photos. But the seller handled it awesome and refunded me before I even shipped the game back! It was the first return process for both of us and it went super smooth.

I bought a copy of House of the Dead yesterday on eBay. I can't wait until it arrives. I am really curious if is really that bad as some People say.
My copy of Virtua Remix was yesterday in the mail and I played it the whole evening. It is really a great Fighting game.

Don't think I have ever played House of Dead 1 - either in the arcade or a port. Have played plenty of HOTD2 on Dreamcast and Wii though.
