Been looking for a while for a N scale tank engine and this caught my eye. Also happens to be my first model of a Japanese locomotive.
Fun fact the C11 is the Engine used by the Ogiawa railway to represent Thomas the Tank Engine

Thanks! I've collected a fair amount of STGs this year, with Zanac x Zanax being on my wish list for a while. Figured it would be a good game to end the year on.

Going into next year I want to diversify and collect more on other systems besides the PSX and Saturn. Japanese N64 and PS2 games in general seem well priced compared to the rest of the market, will likely start there.

I think you're making the right choice there, especially considering the N64 had some nice titles that never made it across the Pacific: Bangai-O, Dezaemon 3D, and Sin & Punishment are three I can personally recommend. There's also Custom Robo and Last Legion UX, and the Neon Genesis Evangelion game, the former two of which I can also recommend, but the latter I can't vouch for since I haven't formally given it a try, but I do hear it's good from colleagues and the few articles I've read (not exactly shmups, but still appropriate to mention, I feel).

As for the PS2, you're in for a treat, but I'll let you dig up those gems yourself; however, HOMURA (ほむら), Shooting Love ~TRIZEAL~, and XII Stag I think you'll appreciate. Personally, one of my grails is Ibara (鋳薔薇), but I've yet to find the right deal for it.

I know your every move behind this face; I have control over expendable slaves.
When confrontation comes down to the wire, I'll use my cyclotrode to commence the fire.
You're never gonna get me!

swordude always has the best variety pickups.

I went to the LGS to see if they had either a Sony DS3 controller or an Xbox 360. They only had third party controllers (bleh) and a special edition Xbox 360 they wanted $400 for. So instead I just picked up a couple of games that stood out for one reason or another.

PS3: Beyond Two Souls SteelBook
PS5: Scarlet Nexus

flea ahem yea, I got games too, just not a lot of modern ones today. I don't have the cash for most new games.?

If you want to be like me? just pay the archives, but? do not take advantage of new game companies? and? I don't but I also save stuff from destruction like you do? but the stuff you have probably does not work all the time, mine does not work all the time either.

I was hacked in life :-\

52,675 mostly bought and paid for. plus even more games +952 more physical games some repeats ::)

CC Mods and more? but I worked for everything just like we all are suppose to in life.

I just came to say to all of you, "I used to be homeless in Detroit" with nothing except a warm bed and not even a pair of glasses, but I came to Detroit with one shirt one pair of shorts and one pair of underwear. And nobody would even hire me, when I did try to get a REAL job. But the job I have today, is better. An office job fixing computers, but I do leave my office sometimes, and work outside of it too. I am not a butt jockey you know.?

It's common to find loose Xbox One consoles for under $100, so it may be more worthwhile to be on the lookout for those instead since they're able to play many Xbox and Xbox 360 games. I don't know the full scope of its backward compatibility capabilities, though.
