Last year the one game pick-up that was totally unexpected and I was really pumped about finding was purchased at a local tabletop sale.
It was held in a barn at a local farm - so I didn’t really go thinking there would be any video game stuff. One table did however have a handful of lose SNES titles, and I remember cringing at the fact they had written the price on each cart using a black marker pen. But then – wow! Also sitting next to the lose carts was a complete and boxed copy of Secret of Evermore.
The lose carts were being sold at 2 GBP each and there was no price on the copy of Evermore. “That would be 4 GBP mate, because it’s boxed” he said, “That’ll be mine then” I replied.
You know – as much as I love the current generation CE’s I purchased last year during my return to video game collecting, this game I personally value most.
I have a feeling my love of retro gaming is too strong to push aside even though I had thought I had put it behind me a few years ago.
