@disgaeniac, that must have been really shocking to open it up and see those! It's actually even more impressive that he remembered which games they were!

Enjoy them I love when my games have a story to go with them.

You 're right!

These 2 games (and their story/history) will always make them more significant & hold more sentimental value than the vast majority of the rest of my games & items.

Hmmmn...

"Games that stand-out/have more unusual & memorable stories & histories than the norm"...

- sounds like it could make for an interesting thread...

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

Lunar Silver Star Story Complete.

And it only cost me four bucks.

Not as good as disageniac's finds, but good enough for me...

Just went and bought Shadows of the Damned on PS3, Heavenly Guardian on Wii (just in case you aren't aware, it's actually somewhat of a sequel to the Pocky & Rocky series) and P.N.03 on Gamecube.

Yayness.

Shiiit...that's pretty damned good...that LUNAR looks to be in nice condition, too

I'll buy that LUNAR from you right now - no questions asked...

for *FIVE*-*TIMES*

...what you paid for it

Hmmmnn...interested(?)...Wanna' "Flip" it for 5X your initial investment?!?!?!

j/k; amigo

Funny thing, I bought this to flip on eBay, but then I saw the price tanked quite a bit since the last time I had one of these... so screw it, I'm keeping it. I'll probably get to it sometime in 2017.

Oh yeah, Foxhack - if you haven't played it yet...definitely give it a shot...I had *A LOT* of fun w/ both Lunar games for the PSX

Opened my mailbox to find a glorious copy of Super Metroid in there!  I'm ready to give this another go.  It's been nearly 20 years.
Oh, and I picked up the Star Wars: Rebel Strike Rogue Squadron Preview disk for $3

As someone who just went back to Super Metroid after over 10 years of not playing it.... It's still amazing as it was the day it came out.

I played one game for the Sega CD like, eighteen years ago, maybe? I didn't get very far (it was a rental.)

[varkias]

Good stuff disgaeniac! I actually picked up Tales of Destiny II yesterday, need to find some time to play it!

Did you find that C.I.B.?
...out-in-the-wild?

Hmmmn...

Now I'll have to pray for a sealed copy of "The misadventures on Tron Bonne" to fall into my lap next 

Yes CIB at a retro store nearby, although I paid dearly... $99.

[jaydepps]

Thanks!

I never had the chance to own/play Tomba 2 yet...how is it compared to the 1st one?

You're also correct about their rarity sealed...I'd imagine that, after buying both of them sealed to send me...his wallet probably fits into his back-pocket a lot easier than it did before XD

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.

Ha...I'm missing them, too and wouldn't mind coming across them myself!

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.
