Edging ever
closer to completing the collection, with another hard to find title knocked
off the list...
The latest
addition is the Ricochet re-release of the Lucasfilm Games classic The Eidolon.
This was another Ebay purchase, costing £4.88.
Also, as I
mentioned in my last collection update, I had a strong feeling that two of the
remaining games I need to find were never released on cassette. Of those two, I
am now 100% confident that Shogun was only ever released by Mastertronic on
disk in the USA, and never received a cassette release. Therefore I am dropping
that game from the list, leaving just seven to go for.
The other
game I suspect only ever got a disk release is Five-a-Side Soccer but I’m not
totally sure about that yet so it remains on the list for now.
Finally,
this week I got my first glance at what is certainly one of the rarest
Mastertronic releases – Ski Writer. This word processing package sold less than
2,000 copies on cassette, and a similar number on disk, so is sure to be one of
the hardest titles to find. Unfortunately the one that popped upon Ebay this
week is the disk version, but at least I now have an idea what the packaging
might look like!
So the
quest continues. I’m hoping to at least pick up a couple more games before
Christmas so if you can help, please send me a message!
Total
games: 203
Average
cost: £1.23
