Now there are 27 games in total, the two missing in this video is of course –
“Chase HQ II Special Criminal Investigation”

(We know of 2 copies in existence)
“Gazza II”

(Possibly only review copies exist)
Anyway, hope you enjoy this crazy video! Sounded like such a good idea at the time but turned out to be a mini nightmare! Carts wouldn’t load, the camera kept stopping, the phone timer kept falling over, realising I missed a game, lighting was wrong, etc etc! And yes – my video camera *sucks* and I’ll be buying a newer and better one when I can!!
As for some of the carts struggling to load – this is to do with the GX4000 console itself. I own two of them, and the one I used I realised was the one I had left out on the shelf (for display) and hadn’t been used in years. So it had collected a lot of dust, etc. Cleaned it out now 95% of the games that struggled now boot every time. 🙂
Lastly, in September I’ll be doing a longer and bigger video celebrating 25 years of the GX4000, this is just a short fun thing…
