New Acquisitions, Volume 2

I got a lump of coal! It's the greatest lump of coal that I ever played.

:P

Holiday Sweep Day 3:

A few more interesting things appeared today:

1. Gadget Racers, PS2, n. mint, complete, $9.99
2. Whiplash, PS2, new/sealed, $19.99
3. Spikeout: Battlestreet, Xbox, n. mint, complete, $19.99 (trade item for Wafle if he wants to upgrade)

gmsnpr

I liked Whiplash, but it was obviously rushed.  About halfway through the quality went to hell.  $20 seems high.  Spikeout, I have to pick that up -- for whatever reason it reminds me of Godhand, another game I have to get.  Oh and Dog's Life -- I have not seen that anywhere.

You know, for all the complaining my wife does about my gaming habits, she's a heck of a facilitator...

-Killer Instinct, cart only (SNES)

My wife gave me no games for Christmas, she figures that I buy enough during the year. She gave me clothes and the Chronicles of Narnia Limited Edition box set thingy with the Special extended version and the bookends. But I really wanted that so I'm fine with no games for Christmas. She also gave me a gift card from Best Buy. Oh and I bought Medal of Honor: Rising Sun for the Xbox yesterday new for $9.99duncanr2n

Right on Wafle!  The 360 now comes with a 12 month warranty, so use and abuse that thing as much as you can in the first year.

[QUOTE="waflerevolution"]
today (MUCH to my surprise) I got a primium 360 (from my parents, younger sister and I'm guessing great grandmothers money) and gears of war from my brother and older sister. I had also walked away from 2 family parties over the last few days with about 550 dollars... game buys soon to come.

Gears of War = much gaming goodness. $550? Nice.  I got a bunch o' cash as well ($600?) but it was giving jointly to me and my wife which means that we'll probably be buying pillow shams or frilly things like that with it.  :(

What!?  Wow.  OK, now it's my turn to say: "Your family pwns mine."  :P

Anyway...

2007 Christmas presents: Round Two.

LocoRoco from my in-laws and Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2 (PS2) from my wife.  Also, something like $80 total in gift certificates to Best Buy, Target, and EB.  Round Three will be what I buy with those gift cards.

Oh, and kudos to your wife, jollyroger.  Especially on the older carts.

LOL!  Yeah, I only recently discovered this when I looked into who the characters were in the "Blocks Club Portable with Bumpy Trot" demo I have for the PSP.  By the way, it's a fun little demo, I've been playing it alot recently.  Its been making me want to import the full game.

This topic brings tears to my eyes. I'm glad that I found this place.

Holiday Sweep Day 6

I hit the first "big" vintage store today and it was kind of a bust.  Last year they were swimming in cool stuff, with some 3DO games that I'd never seen in person, a pair of Neo Geo carts, and some Jaguar stuff.  This year, the best stuff they had was a Japanese version of Panzer Dragoon II, a boxed Phantasy Star, and about 10 complete NES games.  Those were impressive, as they had nice copies of Contra, Final Fantasy, and Metroid, but they were priced at eBay levels, so they stayed.  Here's what I did get:

1. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, NES, n. mint, cart only, $6.95
2. Dragonseeds, PS1, n. mint, complete, $26.95
3. Lethal Enforcers I & II, PS1, n. mint, complete, $24.95 (missing from GS database and our Lightgun guide)
4. Superstar Dance Club, PS1, n. mint, complete, $7.95
5. T.R.A.G., PS1, n. mint, complete, $14.95

I managed to find some OK deals at the used book/CD/video/etc. store that I visited, though:

1. Silent Service, NES, fine, complete, $3
2. John Madden Football '93, GEN, n. mint, complete, $5 (EA fat box to be A-wave shockbox)
3. Midnight Resistance, GEN, n. mint, complete, $5
4. Joe & Mac, SNES, n. mint, cart only, $5
5. Super Mario All-Stars, SNES, n. mint, cart only, $5 (duplicate)
6. Super Mario Kart, SNES, n. mint, cart only, $5 (duplicate)
7. Caesar's Palace, PS1, n. mint, complete, $3.50
8. Mortal Kombat 4, PS1, n. mint, complete, $4
9. GTA 2, DC, n. mint, complete, $4 (upgrade manual)

They also had some strat guides worth getting, chief among them was Xenogears, well-read but intact for $6, which I snagged.

EDIT: Lethal Enforcers I & II added to both the GS database and the lightgun game guide

EB had a 50% everything sale so I picked up a thing or two
