Well I managed to strike another two off the wanted list this time. As you can see I’ve really been slowing down – a couple of reasons. One – I have too many PCBs. Two – the brake discs,...
Just a couple today, one I’ve been after a while. Wakakusa Monogatari Mahjong Yonshimai – quite a mouthful. Also a pretty decent anime style Mahjong game, it was cheap too. I should probably dump this one in case...
