You're welcome.

Just stopped in my local mega media xchange and found a couple cheap gems,

First one is Cleopatra Fortune, a fun little puzzle game that I had been trying to get for my Saturn as a JP exclusive but it is rather pricey for a puzzler @ $60++ I had no idea it had a budget release on the ps1 in the US as late as 2003! seems like $4 is average price for that game but not bad for a addictive little puzzle game

Second one is Mobile Light Force 2, winner of the laziest cover art of all time. It actually has the exact same cover art as Mobile Light force 1, and the games are not even related. They are Gunbird and Castle of Shikigami. Who can pass up a $6 shmup? I think the horrendous cover art is partly why it is still dirt cheap, I bet most pass it up thinking it is some bad game based on that horrible Charlies Angel movie that came out in the early 2000's

There are actually some minor differences. It's more bluish, there are more robots, a car, and some purple laser blasts on the ground.

well alright than

I'm actually very curious to find out how they decided to use that cover art, not once but twice. Is there anyone how knows the story?

Found one of those clone Mega Drive systems.
This one has a full motherboard under the hood.
I just tested it and it's also compatible with the Mega CD.
It has a type of infrared sensor in the front. Not sure if that has any functionality or not.

And from the same seller a game for each region. (Two complete. One loose cart)

A total of $15 for the system and the games.

$2 a piece from local pawn shop:

$5 a piece from another local pawn shop:

Haul from Lost Ark in Greensboro, NC, which I visited while in Winston Salem for an arcade auction: (Sadly, the auction was a bust)

Everything from Lost Ark was $2 except 4x4 ($5) and Crypt Killer ($39).

Hmm, you sure you want to be eating almonds from a pawn shop? No telling where they've been. Williams Pinball is good stuff though.

Psy-ops is one of the most underrated game from the sixth gen, and the xbox version is the best.

^^
That Psi-Ops game brings back memories. Must be a decade (or more?) since I first played it.
I recall really enjoying that one.
