We recently updated our range of desirable titles with a large batch of collectable Mega Drive (Genesis) games from Japan. If there's anything your after for your import collection, and its not on the site, please let us know.... We'd love to hear your feedback too as such grizzled, gaming veterans... :D
Looks nice. Do you accept US credit card payments? Or is this a Paypal only place?
EDIT: I answered my own question... you do accept US credit cards.
Also, do the games come complete? There are no pictures of the cartridge, manuals, etc and no description of the actual physical condition of the game (very important to me).
Aye, no worries on the cards as long as it belongs to you. :)
Basically all the games are in good condition unless something is mentioned in the game Info. This probably applies to a handful of games that could be described as faded due to too much sunlight. But like I say 99% are in good condition to the point you may wonder if their previous owner actually played them! God bless Japanese respect for property!
All games are complete unless marked in the title by 'No Box' (only Snow Brothers - of all the games to be unboxed!!! :D ), 'No Instructions' (maybe only mentioned in the info - I think this applies to only 2 of thousands of titles... One of them would be ) or 'Cart Only.' Again the vast majority of our games (98%) are complete. As collectors ourselves we only try to pick up complete and mint editions...

Should there be any specific titles you'd like to know about, please feel free to get in touch. ;)
Mille Grazie.
Awesome. Yes, I have purchased many used games from Japan and I swear they look like they just rolled off of the factory. Amazing. Here in the US we hate taking care of our property and it is very difficult to find things in good condition. What is it with us? UK seems more or less the same as the US in that regard.
I'll probably buy a game or two from your store soon. :)
A lot of Genesis games are in poor condition because they've gone through the horrors of being originally owned and abused by children.
Is the Panorama Cotton or Gleylancer at all sunfaded?
I'll never forget the look of disgust from the entire class when I was teaching in Japan for casually tossing my text book (believe me it deserved it!) onto the table! :? Still maybe there's an old proverb in Japan "you look after the text books and the copies of The Ooze look after themselves..." I doubt it though!
Games in the UK are abused to the point you'd think a hamster trying to hibernate had been at them for bedding. I blame the teachers... ;)
Panorama Cotton is the first time we've stocked it (and the only copy) so please have a look for yourself at the actual scans.... The same goes for Gleylancer (great bit of Japanese English! :) ) Besides I'm the only one in the office (again) and colourblind!
Panorama is complete with instructions (with a couple of very slight creases in the reverse) and the get a cup 'Campaign' form (unfortunately meaning it comes without the cup!)
Gleylancer also has a questionnaire, slighly creased from the clam shell as are the instructions. It also comes with Mega Soft Information Vol 6 and a Japanese health warning about not playing games for too long. :shock:
Hope this helps.
I ordered something. I assume you'll just use my billing address as my shipping address?
Yes sir. :D Will get that shipped tomorrow as its way past mine and Postman Pat's bedtime!
Please email us on Sales@GenkiVideoGames.com if we can be of any further assistance. I don't want to test Ken's patience on this forum as the guy has been so damn funky with us so far. (Besides I'm getting my ass whipped with a wet towel over at Assembler too much! :oops: ) Maybe you'd be so kind as to pop back and let the forum members know how the transaction went..?
Mille grazie and oyasumi nasai.
Will do.
thanks for you comment in the other thread. if i get any money on my paypal account with my game gear auction, i will look in your dreamcast section .-)
Gee. Another import store that puts high prices on games that you later find out - once you go to Japan - are in every used game shop for a pittance.
Yeah but the cost of a ticket to Japan - Wooeee! The prices are fairly typical compared to buying them straight from Japan, which I do often.
Please, please let us know where you can find Alien Soldier, Vampire Killer, Pengo, Yu Yu Hakushow, Steel Empire, Contra, The Ooze or even Panorama Cotton for a pittance. The flight is booked, just send the address. This sounds like our big break! :cool: You don't have to tell us the address, just the area if these shops are two a penny like you say.... :roll:
I don't understand importing games like the Contra, The Ooze or Steel Empire that are domestically common and inexpensive (Hell, Contra isn't rare in Japan either, neither is Steel Empire). I don't like the idea of paying an arm and a leg for a game that'll possibly be mostly in Japanese and ultimately not worth the price if anything at all changed which usually isn't the case with Mega Drive games.
