@amauriel but, you're missing out on the sweet 3D Alpaca!

First ever FF game, near mint except for the little ding in the corner.

Professor Layton + 16-bit style RPG/life sim + some of the folks that did Mother 3 (Brownie Brown) = a combination of gaming loves for me that actually might exceed Harvest Moon. I know, crazy...
I'm anxious to get through my current game(s) to do Layton! I haven't bought it yet but will probably play the heck out of it once I do. The formula above sounds right up my alley!

Damn @varkias nice haul!

Thanks @scott! Time to update some database items and bust out the scanner.

@varkias I have to get Shining Wisdom and Saturn Bomberman yet. I'm currently unsure what I want to do with the Saturn. I may just go for the rest of the rare titles and then start looking for importing the Japanese only shmups. Of course, the Saturn is still on hold until after I finish off my Castlevania boxed set... I'm 6 games away... maybe I'll try to con @darko out of his complete Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge

@scott, good stuff! I still don't have the NTSC Shining Wisdom. I plan on going after the PAL exclusives after I complete the NTSC set, and continue picking up solid JP saturn titles here and there. I'm a huge Castlevania fan, GL on those last few titles! Have you acquired Dracula X yet?
Edit: Guess I could have just looked up your collection
Gogo box and instructions!

Bought an N64 set from someone on Kijiji, and I received 2 Famicom games from consolemad.co.uk.
The N64 package was 50$, which isn't too bad considering Conker alone usually goes for a lot more. Oh, and the Famicom games are Getsu Fuma Den (usually called Getsufu Maden on import sites for some odd reason) and the Namco release of Star Wars which was never released in the US.

I have a loose copy of Dracula X for SNES, sadly it seems to be much more expensive than Rondo of Blood for PC Engine. Finding a complete copy is going to be a chore. It seems like the more expensive Castlevania games are Legends for Game Boy and Dracula X for SNES. :\

Yeah, the reseller at the nearby flea market actually has a complete Dracula X, it costs around 160-185$ IIRC. I'd settle for a loose cart.

Oh I'll be getting a complete copy eventually. What I'll need to do is stash come cash away in case I find a hell of a deal on either Legends or Dracula X. I missed out on a lot that had a complete Legends, Belmont's Revenge, Sealed Circle of the Moon and one other game for like $150 or something.

@scott: If there really are two different tags, I'll probably be eBaying TWO alpacas soon enough. For now though, I've got to get through some backlogs of games...
Also, hearing those Castlevania prices makes me really glad I never got into collecting them! (Although I have a cat named Alucard, ha!)
scott November 3
@amauriel Luckily not all of them are super expensive. And I think that Dracula X on SNES is only expensive due to it's connection to Rondo of Blood on PC Engine. Most of my complete copies have all been pretty reasonably priced, with only Rondo of Blood and Castlevania for NES being the more expensive ones so far.
btw, I'll try to get over to that game shop this weekend and see if they still have that Tommy Hilfiger GBC.

Found a decent deal on .hack//quarantine for PS2, complete with the anime disc. It was a Best Offer auction on ebay and I was able to get it for $30-$40 less than what I've seen on ebay and amazon, even without the bonus disc. Everything is in great shape as well. Now I just need to finally finish the games... though I'll have to start from scratch, since I don't have the memory card adapter for PS3.

I found nothing at the flea markets today, but I checked out my mailbox, where I found this:
Ghostbusters for PS2, basically free from Goozex.

Ugh, jealous! Got burned from my last .hack purchase... the first two in the original series for $25. But when I opened the box, part II was in pristine condition while part I had a stain throughout the second half of the manual! The guy had the balls to list them in "very good" condition with no mention of the stain. I've gotta cut back on my eBay spending... it's getting out of hand, and the holidays are coming up soon.
