Gamestation have junked a lot of the old stock and only kept the more valuable games and things but the cheap retro games have been building back up in both my local Gamestations so hopefully its not the end yet.

Nice haul though.

They are all black discs. So unless you can get writeable black discs then I guess they're real. I don't know a lot about copying games.

Although something else to bear in mind: it's 200 discs. Some games come on multiple discs. I'd say it was more like 195 games. And some are duplicates or different versions of the same game (Ie sports games that come out every year). Should still keep me amused for a while though!

Hmm, only 195 games? I guess it wasn't as good of a deal as I thought. :P

Yeah I spotted that. Me and a friend spent a few nights on that game on PSX. Quite a lot of fun. While we enjoyed Sim City 2000 as well, we mostly just destroyed shit, because creation was too complex for our fragile brains at the time (still is for mine). But Theme Hospital was much more up our alley.

LOL that happens with me in Sim City as well. I'll start off trying to be an effective City Manager but before long I just want to wreak havoc.

I did enjoy the Hospital management aspect of the game but the diseases they came up with were just hilarious as a whole. I think Bloated Head Syndrome was my favorite, the cure was that popping machine. This is making me want to go out and find a copy of the game.

Wow that's a great buy. I don't think they ever have any deals like that at our local Gamestation.

The link is underneath the picture on the OP but here it is again anyway :D PSO Reviewer copy

Not sure that stuff like this comes up that often. I tried searching for reviewer/review copy and nothing comes up.
