Loan #010

 A big Big BIG box from Blazers brings us a bunch of beauties!

Well there's a lot to say about this shipment, so let's start with a (near) milestone - almost every European exclusive game title has been dumped. To clarify, there are still many Euro game variants undumped, but having AT LEAST ONE VARIANT of every game title is nearly complete. The noteable holdout is BMP Puzzle, which we're still very much in need of (and happy to buy a copy of if you have an extra!). We even got the Marlboro sponsored "Follow Your Dreams" game, back when cigarette companies totally didn't market to kids or anything. Additionally there are some "Kids" titles which may qualify by some as games as well which need dumping

There is a new unicorn among the batch, a previously unknown Spanish edition of the illusive "Go" title. This title has been of particular interest to me and I've had the known Italian variant on my Most Wanted list since the lists inception.



Also of note, is now the USA version of 'Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon' is properly dumped. With the price of this one lately, it deserves its own separate mention.

Other important titles include the USA Lemmings (which was previously nowhere to be found on the internet / region completely undumped according to my notes), the USA retail edition of Mutant Rampage: Bodyslam - which is a separate build from the White Label Demonstration Disc, Litil Divil (a common, but not-cheap title), The Ultimate Noah's Ark (rarer), Earth Command, Clue 2, two "Revised and Updated" variants of Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia, and a USA variant of Xplora 1 (which matches the Euro version).

And I have a very big soft spot for Demos - a smattering of samplers here - all rolling demos. It seems Philips didn't produce any playable demos (as far as I remember) - likely as a budgetary concern. But perhaps these are neater in video form anyway, and you'll sometimes see unreleased titles mentioned.

As always, our dumps will eventually make their way into the redump.org set on archive.org - and selected handful of the titles will also be scanned and uploaded to the Seventy7 / Preserve CD-i archive account. Special thanks to Blazers for entrusting me (and even more bravely the postal system) with this big box of fun.
