Somehow @jobocan's mention of jjgames.com got me looking at their site (never heard of them before), which in turn made me look up some PS1 games that were given to me (a friend gave me some of her brother's old games after my PS1 and games were stolen) that I had yet to catalog.  I didn't think of them much when they were given to me because they weren't my sort of games, but I realize now that Bust-a-Groove 2's got some collectability to it after all...   A pleasant find indeed!

Little Mermaid is surprising good.  I remember going up to a friends cabin for a birthday party when I was about 10 years old and it was the only game they had there lol.

My cousin had it, I think I borrowed it a bunch of times. It is a pretty good game, I've been looking for a decently priced copy of it too, ha.

I picked up the guide for FF 1&2: Dawn of Souls on the GBA and the box/all inserts, paperwork, plastic etc for the Pod Racer LE N64 package. I paid $8 for the guide and got the box, etc for free. I have an extra 64 and copy of Pod Racer so I suppose that's complete now.

Little Mermaid for the NES was the first game I bought with MY money, and didn't just get as a gift. So I have very strong memories of that game, glad to hear people actually like it!

I just received Teleroboxer on Virtual Boy. I kinda ordered it by error, but it was probably the best price I found for it online anyways.

Actually, by coincidence, I just got ANOTHER game involving boxing robots, Real Steel on PSN. Haven't seen the movie, don't really plan to, but the game is actually pretty good. It's a lot like Fight Night in regards to the gameplay mechanics (somewhat close to Round 4 I'd say, but with simpler controls and less depth), with more customization for your fighter (you can mix and match any parts you want for head, arms, fists, body, legs, and a couple more). The battles aren't mindless button-mashing and are generally fun. Very solid for a 10$ game.

Just received this one in the mail this morning:

- Kirby's Adventures (cartridge only)

I was finally able to snatch a very decently priced loose cartridge or this one. So now, I can have it proudly displayed factory sealed AND play it as well!

Just picked up The Adventures of Bayou BIlly for NES and Pokemon Snap for N64. I've never played Pokemon Snap before so I'm excited to give it a go. Bayou Billy on the other hand was one of my original NES games and I snagged it thanks to nostalgia.

@scott , my Pokemon Snap is sealed, so I've never played it! I just picked up a few sealed Mega Man Battle Network games, 3 White and 4 Red Sun. Also got a PAL A Mega Man 1 NES CIB

[scott]

@forte I may have a Battle Network box w/ book and insert somewhere.

Finally have something fun to put here! Yesterday my hubby and I were discussing Arkham City...I surprised him by saying I sorta wanted it. We've never played Arkham Asylum, so instead of the $60 game we headed to our local used game shop to get the old one.

Dropped $200 (I know) but we ended up with:

 - Arkham Asylum (360)
 - A PSOne (we had gotten a screen a while back so needed the system for it)
 - The Pokemon Game Boy Color
 - The Gold/Silver Pikachu/Pichu Game Boy Color
 - and (drumroll please) the COMPLETE (minus the box) Ace Combat 6 set with the joystick (360) (game isn't pictured in this but it was there)

So now I need the Dandelion GB Color and the Tommy Hilfiger one and I'll have all the mass released GB Color variations...and my hubby has something to put beside Steel Battalion.

[scott]

@amauriel The Ace Combat 6 sticks are so cool. Also, I believe I saw a Tommy Hilfiger GB Color at one of my local shops... I'll have to look again.

[amauriel]

@scott: Thanks, let me know. I haven't been looking for that one for TOO long, so I'm still not willing to drop eBay prices or anything...although it seems the more game boys I get the more I'm willing to drop to get new ones... :-P

[madmax]

I just ordered FF on famicom

I also got credited money from some online mistake. Enough to get the premium package. I just need to find a good deal now.

Finally just snagged a copy of Conker Bad Fur Day on eBay

Can't wait to receive this one in the mail

[scott]

@urbanchaos Congrats! Bad Fur Day is excellent. Gregg the Grim Reaper  could possibly be one of my all time favorite characters.
