How do you know it was a pirate? Did he have the gall to put that in his
description?!

It was only a tenner and it said "Will only work with swap magic or mod
chip no refunds." Seems to have gone now.

I've tried several other places:

www.gamestation.co.uk
www.lik-sang.com
www.playasia.com
www.toysnjoys.com
www.gamestation.co.uk
www.dvdcrave.com
www.dvdboxorafice.com
www.amazon.de
www.amazom.fr
www.play.com
www.toysrus.co.uk
www.woolworths.co.uk
www.hmv.co.uk
www.virginmegastores.co.uk

and even

www.importmadness.com to no avail. According to GameFAQs it has only
been released in Europe at the moment but from what I can tell it is due
to be released in America in the near future.

I did notice Sendit has it down as a preorder for this coming October.
Perhaps for some reason there was a limited release here last year, then
it was deleted and it will be out again properly this October.

Wow, thanks for doing all that Steve!

I saw it for sale in Schipol airport in February.

I'm there all too often, can pick you up a copy if you want (assuming
they're still there)? Which shop did you see it in?

Thanks, but, upon further concentration I've realised it was actually in
Alicante airport, Spain. I'm sure you know how they all blend into one
when you travel! Better to just refer to them as "airportland".

I don't know if it's strictly a sequel, but it uses the same sprites as
the other two Ham-Ham games and looks like similar gameplay.

Honestly, Andrew.

Well: It's got Hamtaro in it. Admittedly, the sprite art is *slightly*
different, but both games share NPCs.

Hamtaro olympics is actually a pretty good sports game. I finished it,
and had lots of fun doing so.

There are bits between the sports events where you have to go around
talking to people and finding sunflower seeds, so it is certainly
*similar* to heartbreak, even if not the same.

Ah.. some quirky Hamster-action. Who doesn't like it? Is it good
for pick-up-and-play sessions? I *do* realise these words would
sound very odd if we weren't in the uk.games context...
Actually, they still do...

I found Ham Ham Heatbreak great for pick-up-and-play. The hard part
was putting it down again! I played it constantly for about 3 days,
until it was finished. My girlfriend did the same.

Oh, and don't forget the glass tube and candle peripherals.
