I havent posted here in a little while. I have had a couple of lucky shots. I got Ninja Gaiden 3 for $20 ... the kicker was the guy gave me CIB Ninja Gaiden 1 and I traded it off for $10 and got half my money back. I scored a copy of Motor City Patrol for $20 as well with box. Going to trade off that box too for $15. Then I got Snow Bros for $20 from someone I bought a top loader from 3-4 months back. Finally I walked into a pawn store today and saw Mario Wii and Mario Kart Wii in their big Wii pile. I just asked generically "How much are Wii games?" Guy said $10 each ... I lazily said Id take those two.

I have Shadows of Amn. Wonder if we could pass the games back and forth and install them both on both of our computers?

Unless it asks for a CD, in which case just don't bother and buy the game from GOG.

I've been getting some indie games for Steam, but it's not much to talk about.

Got a nice little package in the mail yesterday.  I bought Soul Calibur off of Matt.  Played it a little today.  This is going to be a good time.

Not knowing really *anything* about either Gameboys or Pokemon, I'm not really sure what I just got...but it was cheap enough to get regardless:

Pokemon: Special pikachu Edition/Yellow version (Sealed) @ 50 cents (for GameBoy)
and, the following for $1 more:

Yellow velcro case w/ belt-loop "Pokemon Gotta' catch 'em all" on top & pic. of Pikachu on front (like new),
(1) Pink Gameboy Color inside (gotta' clean-up replace batteries), otherwise mint w/ a Pokemon: Gold-version cartridge inside of it,
1 Tetris cart. (in plastic case), and
1 loose (Frogger) cart.

All for $1.50

Did I luck-out w/ anything special here?

Um. You mean the game? That sells for $150-$250 oin eBay.

Yeah!
Holy Shit - I just saw that!!!

Also, cleaned out the battery compartment, put new batteries in...and it started right-up playing the pokemon Gold cartridge that was already in it

Haha, you have all the luck man, esp with not knowing what those were really worth when you got them.  Nice work!

Yeah...but...I go to *A Lot* of them that are wastes of time, too.

Not like I made a "genius" move, either...for $1.50...it's not like I wouldn't take the gamble!

Now I feel kinda' bad for the sellers

I'd feel a little bad for the sellers, but then again, it's *so* easy now to look up eBay prices (on a phone even), that if they didn't bother to take that extra step, well... lucky for buyers like you.

Hopefully sellers like that don't ever go back to check their sold items online...

This is true (and what I've been telling myself)

I just bought Santa Rockstar HD.

Not joking.

A new friend just gifted me Torchlight 2 

Why didn't TL2 mention it earlier that it supports 6-player co-op??

I splurged at a local game store. Picked up a bunch of CIB Genesis stuff...

Batman (Sunsoft)
688 Attack Sub
Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion
Light Crusader
Evander Holyfield Boxing
Boxing Legends of the Ring
NBA Showdown 94
Bio-Hazard Battle
Road Rash 3

Some PSX stuff CIB

Jet Moto 2
Power Move Pro Wrestling
Monster Rancher Card Battle Ep 2

And I got a 16 GB Vita memory card for 20 bucks, which I thought was a great deal.

There may have been something else on PSX, but I just don't recall off the top of my head.

Last night, I ordered 3 more games for my recently (and cheaply:) acquired Game-Boy Color.

When I initially got it, it came w/ Tetris, Frogger, Pokemon Gold (all carts. only) and Pokemon Yellow (Pikachu's Special-Edition) / still sealed.

Anyhow, I ordered:

Final Fantasy Legend 1, 2, and 3.
From what I've read - they're really more "SaGa" games than they are "FF" ones, but they still looked fun.

Now, I'm considering also ordering:

Dragon Warrior III,
Dragon Quest Monsters II, and
Lufia (can't remember the rest of the name), but, I think that it's the only GBC-exclusive Lufia game...

Any thoughts, opinions, and/or suggestions/recommendations concerning the 3 that I'm thinking about ordering?

Any other great/not-to-be-missed GBC (or even playable/compatible w/ the GBC) RPG's worth looking into?

Thanks-
