Phew!
It's been quite a few months here with so much good stuff dropping through the door that I've barely had time to blog about it all.
First up, eagle eyed readers (or those who follow this site on Twitter) will have already seen that we have a new article in the Extra Life section of the site reviewing a much sought after part of the Watara Supervision's history: The legendary TV-Link! This extremely rare peripheral appeared on ebay at a bargain price and while our unit doesn't quite function at 100%, we were able to put it through its paces enough to comprehensively review it.

This was followed by another piece of good fortune, acquiring a swanky purple Game Master handheld and giving us the potential to open a new section of the Forgotten Abbey section of the site. 10 sealed games were then acquired at similarly bargain prices and promptly unsealed to the consternation of some members of the Handheld Enthusiasts facebook page (cheap plug as I'm now an admin there!). I will be adding reviews of these lost little gems once my busy schedule allows it.

Speaking of Handheld Enthusiasts, I had a very nice donation from a member there when purchasing a copy of perhaps the one truly rare Mega Duck Megaduck game, Zipball. All of this beautiful Cougar Boy stuff was sent to me as a free gift and now occupies pride of place on my dedicated shelf.

In other Megaduck news, minutes before writing this post I just completed an Ebay transaction that will hopefully lead to the realization of my quest to obtain every Megaduck game (and ultimately review them all for posterity, here.)
I will keep you up to date on how that goes.
With all of this new stuff coming in, I'm feeling inspired to begin working on this site more regularly and can hopefully bring more regular content soon. In the meantime please do follow @obsoleteworlds on Twitter and join the discussion here via the comments section.
