CLEO: A Pirates Tale
Dec-2021

I'm so stoked that this game has arrived! Even earlier than I expected (official release date: December 12, 2021)! :O

I've played the DEMO and must say I was really impressed! Really looking forward to play this gem! <3

I'm already very impressed by the quality of all the physical items! The game is made by Christoph Schultz and he did a wonderous job!

The 13th Doll
A fan game of The 7th Guest!

Oct-2021

Henry Stauf is BACK!!! And this time in a game made by fans! I played through the first part of the game and was very pleasantly surprised! For a fan game this is amazing! And it even came in a gorgeous big box that matches the size of the original boxes of The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour!



Donation from the Home Computer Museum
Sept-2021

The Home Computer Museum in Helmond (the Netherlands) had an amazing donation!

Hoog Spel!
Aug-2021

One of the earlier video game magazines in the Netherlands! It was published by Rangeela B.V. between 1990 and 2000!

I remember first seeing it inside a boxed copy of the PC game "Tien Adventures" from LucasArts! The best buy I ever made! <3

Shantae (GBC)
May-2021

There are some real gems out there for the Game Boy Color, and this is definitely one of them! Good story, good music, great gameplay and amazing graphics! However... it comes with a price!

I'm one of those people that likes to play my games from the original cartridge, but I already own most of the gbc games I love and an original copy of this game can easily cost you a couple thousand dollars!

For a long time an original copy of Shantae was almost impossible to obtain, until Limited Run Games decided to rerelease the game! I knew this was my only change of ever owning an original Game Boy Color version of this game and... it just arrived! :D

I'm curious to how many copies have been sold! But it now says "Sold out!" on the website and the prices of this rerelease on eBay are already sky high!

Well, time to enjoy this gem!

3 documentaries on Blu-Ray:

Undertale Collector's Edition
Feb-2021

I have heard so much about this game that it's now finally time to try it out myself. <3

Retro City Rampage & Shakedown Hawaii
Feb-2021

Both "Retro City Rampage" and "Shakedown: Hawaii" are a parody of retro games and 1980s and 1990s pop culture, as well as Grand Theft Auto and similar games!

The 486 edition came out on an actual diskette and can be played in MS-DOS (not the full game)!

I'm very much looking forward to play Shakedown: Hawaii. They say it has over 200 accessible buildings, and a destructible environment! So more fun blowing things up! :)

The Bard's Tale 1 & 2
Jan-2021

The Bard's Tale
Vol. 1: Tales of the Unknown (1985)
Vol. 2: The Destiny Knight (1986)
After a long search I finally found them for the IBM PC. Complete and in great condition. Even both the Clue Books are included. The Bard's Tale received very high ratings and became the best-selling computer RPG of the 1980s at 407.000 copies.

Defender of the Crown (1986)
Jan-2021

A stunning game that was known for its mind-blowing graphics! Never before had the world seen a game as graphically beautiful as this one! It raised the bar to a whole new height for all other game designers at the time!

Conspiravision: Deus Ex Remixed
Jan-2021

An amazing remixed version of the soundtrack from the great game Deus Ex. The music on this vinyl is made by Alexander Brandon & Michiel van den Bos

Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar
Jan-2021

One of Richard Garriott's favorite Ultima's. Also the first game that used the word "Avatar". This one was on my list for quite a while. Ultima games are always quite hard to find. Especially when you're looking for a version that is:
- In good shape
- Complete
- For IBM PC
- For a reassonable price
- With a seller willing to ship to the Netherlands
It lookes like I got very very lucky!

Microleague Timeout Sports
Jan-2021

Now here's an interesting piece!
"Microleague Timeout Sports"

Not a type of game I would normally buy, but when I noticed the cover, the art-style of the two characters on the front seemed familiar. And after some Googling I discovered the art was done by none other than Nick Stadler (the artist behind Jazz Jackrabbit)!

An awesome addition to the collection!
