New Acquisitions, Volume 2

Ugh, well I was not suppose to be buying games right now, but I was stuck waiting for someone and there was a Gamestop and well... (All used, all complete) Justification in red.

XIII - PS2 - $3.59 Kind of always wanted it, finally hit my price point.

The Bouncer - $6.29 Launch title, non-RPG from Square, had not seen it for a while.

Rygar - PS2 - $6.29 See justification for XIII.

Tak and the Power of Juju - PS2 - $8.99 No idea, I must be brainwashed from reading so much Play magazine.

Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies $6.29 I think Waffle mentioned he liked this.

Kingdom Hearts 2 $35.99 Inevitable purchase, nice non GH case in good condition.

Dual Hearts $8.99 Gmsnpr said it was kinda hard to find.

Star Wars Rogue Leader Rebel Squadron $6.29 No idea.

Enclave - XB - $4.49 Noticed that Starbreeze had something to do with it and they had something to do with Riddick.

Picked up Mercenaries (mint) and Metal Slug 3 (good, no manual) for $25 CDN.Apathetic_Prick

It was used, but iirc, it's only going for 13 bucks on EB Games pre-owned.  It's $20 - $22 here preowned, still runs for about $40 new.

Oh, to the guy who bought XIII:  It's pretty short (about 7 hours) but it's a wicked game.

Went on a field trip to Des Moines, Iowa this weekend...

At Gamestop-
-ICO-$17.98 (heard it was tough to find, and a decent game)
-Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy-$7.98

At this random used game shop-
-NES Zapper, grey-$4.95
-Uninvited, NES, cart only-$12.21
-Adventure, Atari 2600-$.94
-Pitfall!, Atari 2600-$.94
-Zaxxon, Atari 2600-$.94

Now, I'm really only looking for Flash Gordon and I'll have all the Atari 2600 games I loved as a kid.  That's not saying that I'll quit buying them, but I'll have all the ones I remember.

Astroboy: Omega Factor

Obtained in a trade for a duplicate copy of Sonic 3D Blast I had for the Saturn.

I am so happy to be getting this game, I've had trouble finding it.:D

Just bought 80 Genesis games for $81, shipping included. I have no idea what is in the lot, so should be interesting when it gets here. I have been unmercifully Ebay sniped out of two Genesis Nomads this weekend, so I needed something to ease the pain.

I took a delivery today. For $34.03 shipped, I got the following:

1. Gundam Battle Assault, PS1, n. mint, complete,
2. The King of Fighters '99, PS1, n. mint, complete
3. Namco Museum Volume 5, PS1, n. mint, complete

All I need is Volume 2 and I'll be able to spell Namco. Well, I can spell it already, but you get the idea.

As an aside, does anybody have a spare Intelligent Qube lying around? I want to get it for my sister for Christmas but it's really rare (and also pretty expensive for the most part). Nobody? Bueller?...Bueller? Didn't think so...

Got a few goodies in the mail today. All Atari 2600 games.

Video Olympics
Carnival
Gopher
Winter Games
Snoopy and the Red Baron

Getting towards the end of the Atari games that I want to own, maybe need 10 more tops. Not bad for only being in the Atari game for a month. :)

snpr~ look in auctions that are lots, especially low number ones of mostly late releases. they seem to pop in constintly and no one notices..waflerevolution

Yep... Well, I have to say I saw this coming. I paid $81 for 80 Genesis carts, sight unseen, and they are all sports titles (and they only sent 75). Some duplicates thrown in and some I already have. From what I can tell every athlete in the NBA, NFL and NHL all had their own franchise of sports game. I won't punish you by listing them here, I'll just go quietly and add them to my my collection now. What an inglorious way to pass the 800 mark.

All loose, varying conditions.

For Atari, Ebay is the only way. I also bought a lot of stuff off of forum members at Atariage.com.

If you want to build a quick Atari collection, especially if you don't have Activision/Atari Anthology for PS2, you can get a massive, massive collection very cheap. I wanted specific titles so it cost me more. I figured no use rebuying all the games on those anthologies, they're essentially the same and I can buy different titles with that money.

I've had some luck at some non-chain used game shops.  That's how I found two out of a possible three Swordquest games (good luck finding the third!!), among others.  The shops often don't know what they have and keep a policy of pricing super old games at a buck or two (at least here in the ever-exciting Midwest US).

Final Fantasy III, DS, new, $39

I now officially own every FF game from 1-12 in some form of NA release.  III was the only game in the series that didn't have a NA release until this week, of which I am sure you are all aware.duncanr2n

I took a delivery today:

Ballistic, NUON, n. mint, complete
Space Invaders XL, NUON, n. mint, complete

The pair were $32 shipped, and if you are curious about the short-lived platform or some homebrew efforts, have a  look here and here.  Interestingly, the game boxes are gold DVD cases.  Only 7 titles were officially released in the U.S.; 3 of them are somewhat rare, including Space Invaders XL.

Funny story. Well, I bought it anyway b/c I'm a dumbass and I plugged it in to get the red rings of death. gmsnpr

That was a funny story.  I cannot believe you plugged it in!  Picked up Big Bumpin' from Burger King today.  They did sell it to me without buying any other value meal etcetera -- I just askd for the game and they sold it to me, no problem.  $4.30 after tax.

Nintendo Wii

Excite Truck

I froze my **** ass off in the Canadian winter without a heavy jacket for 9 and a half hours. I almost died, that is something I would never do again. Then I was mad because I wanted Rayman and either COD3 or Red Steel and they only had 5 different games. 3 of which, Spongebob, Tony Hawk and Marvel suck. But I am alive and with a Wii.

Congrats man, I'd be happy with what you got.  I'm waiting for my Wii with my spare controller sitting idly by.
