Yesterday was the second time I visited Pixel K.A.F.E. in Malmö! This time it twas mainly because they were hosting a Retro Market there, selling off games and consoles and other nerdy things! Unfortunately it’s not going too well for Pixel, but I hope the contributions and sales today will have some effect and make it turn around! Because it’s an awesome place! :)
There were so many things for sale! Both Nintendo and Sega games, both PAL, NTSC and Japanese! Even Neo Geo games!!! Both AES and MVS, right next to the My Little Ponys ^__^ There were Vintage Toys, consoles, even arcades! And also something I really wanted, but it was too heavy for me to carry home on the train >_< Namely a custom built arcade controller for the Playstation 2 to be used with Pop ‘n Music!! So pretty ^__^
Apart from this, the owner showed me around arcade town! I even got to see the insides of a Blast City cabinet! :D So cool! The key to the cabinet had “SEGA” written on it ^_^ It’s all about the details ;D
So this is what i scored! First up is a bunch of Neo Geo MVS cartridges!! :D :D I’m totally excited about these! And NONE OF THEM are fighting games :D I’ve bought a converter for my AES so that it can play MVS cartridges as well. This is mainly because the collecting will become more feasible and cheaper! I will buy shockboxes for these carts, then they will blend in with the rest of the AES games on the shelf ^_^ The games I got was Spin Master, which is a really cool platforming game, Puzzle Bobble, Puzzle de Pon and League Bowling ^__^ I’m eagerly awaiting my converter to arrive so I can play these!!!
One of the cartridges is transparent, the others are black.
Apart from this I also found some Sega Mega Drive games. These were The Tennis Tournament Grand Slam, RoboCop 3 and NHL 95. The last two lacked a manual, but Grand Slam was complete.
I also found some Super Nintendo games and a Super Famicom game. Even though this NTSC version of Final Fight was in pretty bad shape and lacked a manual I still had to get it, because that boxart is amazing!! I fell in love with it ^_^ I also found Final Fight for SFC, so I got that one too. It’s really fun to just see the differences in the artwork between the North American version and the Japanese :D Apart from these two I also found a really nice version of Tetris Attack!! I didn’t have Tetris Attack previously, but I have Panel de Pon, which is basically the same game, they just switched out the characters ^_^
I couldn’t help but look at all those amazing vintage toys that were there as well ^_^ They are just so charming! :D I ended up buying four figures for Pepparkaksninja that he wanted. He collects vintage toys, takes cool pictures of them and makes even cooler videos (check out his amazing collection here!). I also got a little something for myself that I think will fit perfectly in the game room! :D
When you move his arm the ghosts appear in his mouth!! :D Pac-Man <3
Retro Video Gaming 
Amazing turtle Toys! I’d also have picked Puzzle Bobble, it’s an amazing game. And that transparent cartridge looks really nice!
Thanks ^_^ Yeah Puzzle Bobble is fun :) Spin Master was my favorite though! :D
You are going to absolutely love Spin Master AKA Miracle Adventure. Such a great game. Do you have a universe BIOS on you’re console? Cause it’s a bit easy. You need to turn that difficulty level all the way up.
Since you like non sports games on of these days you should splurge on windjammers (a great 2 player game), and Twinkle Star Sprites. Magician Lord is also a must have.
and I did! OMG it was so much fun ^__^ However, my favorite game for my AES right now is Blue’s Journey! So cute!!!!
I think I have a Universe BIOS on the console..
I’ve been told I should get windjammers, I will try to find it ^_^ I really really really want twinkle star sprites though, but damn that game is expensive!!! Magician Lord I already have, and I’ve beaten it ;D
Wow, I remember having that style of turtle toys back in the day! Also, the shark in the picture of all the toys, I had one of those too! Damn I miss my old toys…
Great finds all around! Final Fight was really fun. I rented the game a lot as a kid.
The shark with the big tongue? That one looked really cool ^_^
