I picked up several NES games last night. Uninvited, GI Joe, Crash n the Boys, Kickle Cubicle and Ikari Warriors III.

Where you find those? I never see Crash anywhere.

I picked these up today:


Wii and DS games were $5 each at EB Games, Williams is complete but Rainbow Island is missing the manual
The 360 games were buy 2 get 1 free at a local pawn shop so they only cost $10 for all three.


At the same shop were clearing out the Xbox and PS2 games so it was $20 for all 10, they are in various stages of completeness and some are in better shape than others but I am happy with the selection considering the sale started on Wednesday.

So jcalder I have a question....do you just buy any game you come across or are these all titles you plan on playing or have true interest in?

[jcalder8]

@brettybluevein, I will buy pretty much any game if the price is cheap enough. In the case of these games there is a mix of games I want and games my son will enjoy and some filler to take advantage of the sales.

Got these from local pawn shop for $.99 each, All CIB except Scaler missing manual:



Rythm Nation - $2.99 from Best Buy sale
Henry Hatsworth - $1.99
Atlantis: The Lost Tales - $1.50
Chrno Crusade Original Sountrack Gospel.1 - $1.99
All other PC games were $.95

Atariboy, you might want to upload smaller pictures. Those are renamed BMP files and are way too large.

That said, Scaler? Is that the HK bootleg of Spyro?

Nah, it's a separate game, though from what I recall it's also a 3D platformer.
I actually met one of the people who worked on that game, though he mainly told my class about the work he did on Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and how much it sucked working for Ubisoft

  Sorry, Original image was a JPEG image and I scaled it down 75%, I'm showing the file sizes to be 920 KB and 894 KB, Is that too large? I usually size them down about 75%.

They're not JPGs, they're BMPs. Whatever image program you used didn't save them as JPGs. :\

If those were JPGs they'd be like 250k each.

Hmm...

I've never heard of that PS2 game -

"GODAL: Elemental Force"...

...WTF is it - an RPG?

[soera]

Its Godai. I have seen it before. It sounded RPGish from what I saw.

[atariboy]

@foxhack I think I fixed it, Interesting I didn't realize the difference but I resized using photoshop and I see the difference now. Thanks for the heads up. The thing is that my didgital camera saves as a JPEG and I used Hypersnap to scale it down but file was never in BMP format. weird.

Looks to be more of a fighting game, maybe with RPG elements? not sure.

My last of completely random PS3 import orders!

PachiPara 16: Gingira Paradise 2 (is it 16 or 2? What the hell?)... some pachinko game featuring anime girls in bikinis.... and anime dudes in speedos according to the back of the box.

Continuing with my recent theme of import games, I got my first Vita import.
Mahjong Fight Club: Shinsei Zenkoku Taisen Han, which I hope is better than the crappy mahjong game I have on my iPod.  And by mahjong, I mean the real thing, not the one your mom plays where you make pairs of tiles that are in a stack.

*Edit*
Surprisingly, this is the first time I find a Vita game with a physical manual.
