Title: Eurocon 2006 (England) results!
Post by NESaholic on 30. Oct 2006 at 19:41
I went to Eurocon this weekend which was held in England, returned last night. I got some great stuff on saturday, there was a sale/trade session.

-Game books, alot of little retro games tips and tricks. Also a great PSX book with lot games covered.
-Vintage games dvd and video, mega fun to watch.
-Atari VCS complete, won it in a charity auction.
-N64 Lylat Wars (Starfox) big boxed, complete.
-MegaDrive Castle Vania, complete.
-SNES pirate cart, have to check what's on.
-NES Video Game Organiser, complete.
-NES Double Dragon, boxed.
-NES Double Dragon II, complete.
-NES Captain Comic, cart upside down label variant (i have it double!)

And last but not least.......NES unreleased game: "The way of the Exploding Fist". I know the guy who found it at a fleamarket in England and was glad he was willing to sell it to me. A nice add to my obscure collection, thanks alot Jon you made Eurocon mega worth while! 8-)

Nice stuff ha, the game is ultra cool, shame this fighter didn't hit the stores.
I haven't called the number on it, i guess it won't work anymore by now.

It's three players! :o I was wondering why they were all attacking eachother.  I was like, who's fighting who here? ;D

Edit: "Uh, Dick, I have your game." :P

Yeah it has a 3 player option, kinda unusual in fighters, it's fun to play.

Wow, that rocks!  That looks like such a cool game!  Is the exploding fist the orignal he found or a repro of it?

Weird snes pirate too.  You'll have to let us know what's on it.  Is the label one of those "magic eye" pictures or something?

He found the real deal, on atariage the converter of the game showed up also, hehe.
The label of snes is mega odd, i tried looking at it for a few mminutes but there's nothing to see.
I have to get a step down converter to get it to work since all converters seem to give a weird screen.
Will let you know what it is, there was a eprom in it also.
I will scan it and send it to you soon so you can have a look at it.

Any chance to get a *that-thing-that-cannot-be-asked* of this game since it "has been released" to public?

I was thinkning that is a god item for LostLevels (*grab* *grab* *grab* roms). $)

Good read.  I wonder if lawyers actually got involved with this or not?  Maybe I can score the ROMs if nothing else ;) I would love to play another unreleased game, that would make my 5th one this year 8-)

Well the mod at Atari Age wasn't all to serious, he said to the previous owner that all is well and he could pass it on if he wanted to. 8-) And so he did corse! I am getting a CopyNES pretty soon so who knows.
