Hi guys ,

Last week I went to Egypt to collect some MSX cartridges from MSX fans over there ... I got some classic games and some Arabic titles the point is that I got a call by one guy who told me that he have 300 Titles ... i was gonna faint ... i went 300 km to his place and I saw that he have a 300 games cartridges non of them are MSX but all of them in a very very good condition and labeled by (Texas instrument) game machine or some thing ...

of course I was not interesting but the guy didn't let me go until I promise him to see if I know some one who might be interesting !

If the guy doesn't care much about earning some money, you could try finding a person that cares about preservation and ROM dumping.
If he does want to get some quick cash, ask on TI-99/4A forums, there are plenty of greedy game collectors around.

*edit*
Coming from the the guy that gave away MSX carts at Nijmegen, I'm hoping for the former one. =)
I've asked at MESSdev if anyone's interested. (MESS/MAME is a huge emulation+preservation project I'm affiliated with)

I guess it's an old habit from when it was much more common to use a different name on the internet. =p
I like my real name (Michaël), but can't let go of the habit using a pseudonym online.

Hello shwaikh,

hap just told me about the TI cartridges. I'm currently the maintainer of the TI emulation in MESS. Can you get a list of names of the cartridges so that I can check whether we know them already or there are some rare ones among them? We have a number of people on the TI forums that are collecting cartridges.
