She found it in a dirt mall in northern Arkansas. I'm pretty pumped.

Just got an Intertron VC4000 today, Got it for $15 wth 12 games. Shipping was a bit much to get it from the UK but still cheaper then most for the system alone. It was pretty dirty but once I cleaned it up it's looks pretty good.

Tested it out on my PAL TV and it works and all the carts work fine. The picture is a bit fuzzy think it might need a new RF cable. The Joysticks remind me of the Atari 5200 but at least they center better the the 5200. The Graphics look like an Atari 2600 and the best games (that I got anyway) are Invaders (Space Invaders clone) and Monster Man (Pac-Man clone). Not sure if any of the games I got are really "rare" but In the US they are all rare. lol

Finally picked up 3D MineStorm, 3D Crazy Coaster and 3D Narrow Escape for the Vectrex and gave my 3D Imager a whirl. I gotta say, it's great how they're able to assign colors to certain objects in the games using the shutter. I was underwhelmed with the 3D effects, though. Nothing really popped out at me and the convergence seemed to be off when things were far away, essentially doubling the image. Perhaps there is some sort of calibration step that I'm missing. That said, things that were at a middle distance and eventually up close to the viewing point seemed to converge pretty well. Maybe I'm just expecting too much out of first generation 3D gaming.

I also picked up Galactic Pinball, Panic Bomber and Wario Land for the Virtual Boy. I now lack seven games from completing a cart-only Virtual Boy US release set.

I got home this afternoon, and my wife greets me with "I got you something!".  Turns out she dropped $30 on this

Your wife is awesome!

Heh...of course it couldn't have been something rare, valuable, and/or something that I didn't already have
 5+
copies of -but- I *won* yet another copy of the cool, NIS America-Only, pre-order-bonus-LE of Hyperdimension Neptunia: Victory (w/ everything included all still originally *sealed*) playing cards w/ a bunch of friends last night  8)

Picked up Dishonored during a half-off sale on Steam. Been wanting to play that for awhile now, so I think it's next on the list after I finish up Borderlands 2...

I've seen a whole lot of systems in my time, but I had never heard of this one. I had to go look it up. Any fun? Or is it more of a collector's item for you?

'twas my bday yesterday, so my boyfriend surprised me with the Journey collection. He wanted to go pick me up a PS3 finally yesterday, but I convinced him that we should wait for a price drop... hopefully it comes soon!  I told him I don't have any time to play games right now anyway, until class is done in a month...

Wait until tax refund time. THEN you'll sell a price drop. :)

Also welcome back. :D

I haven't bought any new games lately, but I did trade in quite a few games to get some other games all for the Xbox 360

Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City
Red Dead Redemption
Midnight Club: Los Angeles
L.A. Noire
Saints Row
Saints Row 2

I also picked up an NES with Spiderman: Return of the Sinister Six

I will shortly be receiving another NES and SNES that someone is giving me because she is unsure if they work so I will be getting those and hopefully they work fine.

:D thanks!  I got my refund already and didn't spend it all in Japan like I expected.  So fingers crossed for a price drop!
