To be perfectly honest I've never been able to find a copy of Tomba! 2. It has eluded me thus far. That and Tail Concerto are the two I have been trying to find cheap over the years.

I found a copy of Tomba! 2 at Goodwill about six months ago, so you never know where you might see something rare pop up.  Finding rare gems like that in unexpected places is part of why this hobby can be so thrilling.

Yes Indeed!!!

I didn't have an Atari 2600 growing up... I had this...


Sears Tele-Games Video Arcade


My kids were playing some Target Fun.

Yes its just a re-branded 2600, but still... Now it is part of the collection.

I recieved Steel Diver in the mail yesterday. It's a pretty fun little submarine game. Though I don't like the periscope section.

The trick for the periscope section is to sit on an office chair and make it spin around... it's the only way to make it remotely fun :P

Today, I bought a "Gamestop-New" copy of Trinity: Souls of Z'ill Oll (or something like that/ another "nothing special")...but...

...you know how the saying goes about good/bad things coming in threes?!

My 3rd *GOOD* one came today :)

1st = Unexpected *Sealed* copy of Tomba (PSX NA),
2nd = Also, unexpected *sealed* copy of Tales of Destiny 2 (also PSX NA), and, today's happy third...
3rd = *Expected* arrival of my newest (and, coincidentally) 3rd Giclee "Embrace the Knight"!

All in all - a week that I'm *VERY* Happy about  ;)

Boy boy boy, did I have a good weekend.  If you'll remember, my sister found someone that had a box of N64 they were giving away.  Well, she came across.  Here's the list

Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine

Scooby Doo

Quest 64

Majora's Mask Collector's Edition

Kirby 64

Lego Racers

Game Shark 3.0

Rogue Squadron

Crusin USA

NBA Courtside

WCW/NWO World Tour

Bomberman Hero

NFL Blitz

WCW/NWO Revenge

Castlevania Legecy of Darkness

Star Wars Shadows of the Empire

Wrestlemania 2000

WWF Attitude

South Park

Pilotwings 64

Super Smash Bros.

WWF No Mercy

Excitebike 64

Super Mario 64

Turok

And the pièce de résistance Ocarina of Time Collector's Edition in the BOX!

So that makes 25 games and a Game Shark for FREE!

Then tonight I bought Killer Instinct Gold for $8 and Some NES Double Player Wireless Controllers for $10.  It was a good weekend.

Just ordered 25 DS cases off Amazon for all my GBA games.

Not sure if anyone asked this, buy why did you choose Amazon over Nintendo's Online Store? I hope you snagged a good deal.

Oh nevermind. It looks like Nintendo discontinued the GBA slotted ones. Good thing I got all my back up cases when I did.

I only paid $13.99 for all the cases and after shipping it came out to $20.  It was pretty close to what Nintendo was charging.  I almost did buy the ones from Nintendo without the GBA cases ha.

You really can't beat that price, free is always best!
