I actualy don't know how it possible but just enjoys the photos :

Someone have the money? :)

ps : hummm, from France, is Bock vending his collection? :)

Mother of auctions...

It's Adol

And god knows how many stupid comments i had :)

Oh, and don't mess with Gemu Otaku owner, he's a friend of mine (I'm just not dumb enough to put my real address :)

wow... just wow

So what's the point? Attention?

Of a sale..? I don't know...hmmmm..money?

I cant believe this sold, what does that work out to, approx $175+ per game? did it really sell and has money changed hands?

I was surprised to read about this in one of Norway's largest newspapers:

http://www.pressfire.no/nyheter/PC/5473/Solgte-spillsamlingen-for-syv-og-en-halv...

It's in IGN, LA Times and Forbes as well..
No money in hands, probably never will, i may relist it, i'll see.

Hey WTF, your Norway newspaper put my name!!! How would they know???

I don't know. This is like the game department of the newspaper though, so the people working there are all gamers. Some of them seem to be retro gamers as well, as they sometimes have articles about old games.

It says "Hodos is one of the most well-known game collectors out there, and his nickname 'Adol' has become a term for games in top condition."

Can someone compare the SMS/GG list to check if there's some undumped game? The "Power Strike 2 GG version" already have some dump?

Power Strike 2 GG is already dumped (same ROM as GG Aleste 2).
There's probably a few unknown variations in Adol's collection much like any collectors collection, but no particular undumped SMS/GG rare game AFAIK (unless Adol has some prototypes I don't know about).

These Mega Drive games have not been dumped:

- Marble Madness (Tengen)
- San San
- Smisey Home
- Nagoya Home Banking
- Go-Net

Adol: Do you have a rom dumper?

Really? I can't found any PS2GG indication in the all SMS Power!, just the SMS version of Power Strike II and the GG version of Power Strike II, but nothing about the Power Strike II GG Version for SMS. Can you point the link with the info about this game (even if it is some topic in this forum)? I want more information... information... information...

It's some kind of hacked game? I thought it's was an official release...

Official SMS Power Strike II is a newly developed unrelated spinoff not released in Japan.

GG Power Strike II is simply a renamed Japanese game.

This rom hack converts the latter into SMS form, where it wasn't previously available.

Yes, but the seller in the auction of this topic have one copy of the Power Strike II GG Version. That's why I'm questioning about an official cartridge version of this version, and not about a rom hack.

Tengen's Marble Madness was dumped a while ago. I have seen it on Underground Gamer.

I believe Tengen's was the Japanese version while EA published the US and EU versions.
Is it a different game or just a different publisher? Curious.

That's right. It is two different conversions. Graphically they're pretty much the same. Tengen has smoother control and better sound quality.

Well, I'd argue that the Tengen version is graphically superior too, at least in terms of presentation, and it's a far more faithful port. I have both versions and there's just no contest, the Tengen is fantastic (though quite difficult!) and the EA is mediocre. The music is especially poor in the EA version.
