New section : Collection
I put online some photos of my own collection : essentially the cartridge consoles/games – Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Master System, Neo Geo, Neo Geo Pocket. These photos cover about 70% of my collection, even if all games are visible. The section will evolve in future.
Biblio Vectrex 1.1 : scans are coming
I release tonight the 1.1 version of the “biblio Vectrex” (full list of Vectrex games). No new game is listed, but the first scans are available : Rip Off and Solar Quest, in european version. I think that they are really awesome, a kind of mix between retro and future !

Dragon : Bruce Lee enflamme la Master System… ou presque
La vie de Bruce Lee fut portée au cinéma en 1993, dans Dragon : The Bruce Lee Story, un film de Rob Cohen. Il fut adapté en jeux vidéo sur quasiment toutes les consoles 8/16 bits du moment (et la Jaguar). Mais le version Master System est très différente : là où les versions >16 bits reprennent les grands ennemis du film et se présentent donc sur la forme d’une succession de duels à 1 contre 1 (Bruce Lee contre un CPU), la version sms est un vrai jeu de plateforme, où il faut bien sûr cogner du méchant.

My Little Pony Megadrive : it takes all sorts to make a world…
Special edition ! 80’s forever ! If I say “My Little Poney” ? These small animals (to hairdress) are unforgettable ! They have been released in 1981 and were a tremendous success, eclipsing the classical Barbie.
A Little Poney
When I was playing LEGO for hours, dreaming on a game console or stealing the Saint Seya figurine of my friends, my girl mates was playing with the long, multicolored and brushable hairs of theses creatures.
Seriously, is there any link between these ponies and my humble blog ? Yes !
I was browsing eBay – like usual – after a click on my finder (an american sms game probably). And I found this :
Crysta'sl Pony
A Genesis game (US Megadrive) starring a “Cristal Pony”… Wow ! Only released in USA I think, this game had to be in my collection ! 🙂
If you want to k. Le jeu propose en outre la possibilité remarquable de choisir les couleurs du poney que l’on va contrôler tout au long du jeu. Marvelous. D’ailleurs, pour savoir à quoi ressemble le jeu, voici une vidéo (de 9 minutes certes, mais c’est le temps nécessaire à l’auteur de la vidéo pour finir le jeu) :

For the fans, a scan of the insert in a pretty good resolution (I have a 20 MB file for the hardcore fans) :
Crystal's Poney
I have even found the original opening theme of the animated TV serie (chown on TF1) in french :

Manifeste pour les chercheurs de cartouches
Pourquoi Diable s’intéresser aux jeux vidéo cartouches ? La(es) réponses(s) peu(ven)t paraître évident(s) pour le passionné, mais que répondre à sa copine totalement étrangère au domaine ? Comment lui expliquer sa passion alors que les jeux vidéo sont associés pour elle aux poupées Barbie et autres gamineries ? Je vous propose quelques pistes de réflexion, des bases pour une discussion adulte sur ce sujet.
Biblio 1.57 for SMS available
The list of all Master System games released outside Japan is available today. This 1.57 version adds several artwork/insert scans and increase the Priceminister linking. You also have noticed the new rarity table in the sms section. I hope it will help you to collect better. If you have any trouble, contact-me.
Musha Aleste
Musha Aleste… a legendary title, that many consider as THE best shoot on Megadrive ever. Acronym for Metallic Uniframe Super Hybrid Armor, it was only released in Japan and USA. This game is a star of imports.
MUSHA sur Genesis
Vertical shoot with a complex gameplay, it deserves all the honors of a european version :

It is not magic but cartmodding : a original megadrive game cartridge is opened and dismounted. A new ROM is placed inside. The insert and game sticker are to be created from scratch. So, you will get a rare game (never released in a country or slighty modified) in a true Megadrive cartridge, compatible with your original hardware.
You are ready to feel a whole new experience with your european Megadrive !
Bionic Commando & BC Rearmed
I have not been on the Xbox Live Arcade for a while… I could have done a big mistake : missing the HD remake of Bionic Commando. It is a classic NES game that I really loved younger. The character is a commando armed with a powerfull bionic arm/glove that you can use to swing or grab objects. You will face an army of fanatized soldiers.
