(cart only)

This is a pretty decent port. It's a shame about the password save, though - there are some really long levels/areas in this game, and you only get a new password at the start. There are checkpoints, but you don't get a password when you use those so you have to beat the levels in one sitting.
I should have just got the remake.

Picked these up off craigslist this morning for $10 each, no cords or controllers unfortunately, just the boxes. SNES works like a charm first time, NES turns on and produces video but it's just that flickering color screen, and putting a game in is like throwing a hot dog down a hallway, so I'll have to bend the pin connector back or replace it, and it should be good to go. The guy said he had found some games, and he's going to text me and let me know what they are, so hopefully he's got something good (and as cheap as this was).

Got this in the mail just this afternoon. It's Dreamcast obviously, but it came out in 2001, so this is probably pushing it. If this isn't acceptable, then the last game I bought before this was Demon's Crest.

Yeah, I removed the sealing. I wanted to actually play it, and a the one used copy available was more expensive.

About $220 CAD, with Canada being the problem. I also had seen a used one for $150, which I would have preferred if the seller actually shipped across the border.

Initial impression, mixed bag. It's one of my favorite games on the Lynx, so it's got a lot to measure up to.
For some reason I've never been too impressed by GBC games. On the other hand I'm perfectly fine with B&W GB games.

For Klax, they used digitized sounds, so there's a constant whine. The two blue tiles are very close in color and easily confused. But control seems fine.

Yeah pretty much no makeup. She might have had a little eye makeup and lip gloss on. It was winter, obviously so she's especially pale. She's mainly there for reference on that CRT it's the largest class of 4:3 CRTs I believe was ever produced, a 42" Mitsubishi. She wouldn't let me bring it home so I settled for just a photo. If it had been a pro-style Megaview monitor she wouldn't look so happy in the pic because I'd have been dragging it home but it was just a consumer TV. Still had component and Svideo inputs though so I'm sure it made a great SDTV for whoever was man enough to haul its 400 pound ass in their house.

Here's today's haul.

I found the SNES at a church sale. I was "that guy" and asked if they'd take $5. Mainly because it didn't come with any cords. It was just the system. Plus I didn't know if it worked.

I found all stars + world Thursday at goodwill. I was just testing the snes.

Sonic bag was $1 at a yard sake. Its a kids bag so I cant really use it for much. But my friend and I decided we are going to use it as a water bag. It was pretty hot today and yard selling was rough. So next time we are going to put ice packs in the bottom and fill it with water bottles.

Lastly mall madness I like gimmicky board games.

$40/6 shipping, which I think is a nice deal in light of the condition and being complete in the box.

I got them over the internet, though to be fair, there aren't any particularly good retro shops in my area. Goodwill and flea markets have never delivered, and the two shops that do stock Japanese games overprice them to hell and back and never have them in the box with a manual.

One of them had these SGB commanders in the glass locker with an $85 "RARE, JAPAN ONLY!" tag, where it will likely just sit there and rot.

So far it's perfectly playable, except for the completely awful translation that often leaves me puzzled about what is going on.
