Well today was a mixture of disappointment and okay lol

First I dug around the toy section at the thrift shop, a regular spot for the old games in bundles if they don't get in the case up front and found a few big box computer games.  One was some version of civilization, another was Myst.  Both were for Mac and while normally I wouldn't collect old pc stuff, let alone mac, I wanted to get it cause of the old box style. It's a big cool box and Myst was a classic game so why not! I get home, open it up to see some cd's in there that looked out of place.  That's the brown box there.  What that is, is not Myst, but Riven, the later released sequel lol The box for Myst has nothing but the box, the journal, and the hint slip.  No game.  Equally sucky, the Riven package of CD's is missing disk 1....SUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS. I mean, the box is still killer and while I'd never be able to play the game, I still wanted it complete...



For the next batch, things turned out a little better.  NES Zapper, two NES controllers, and some odd joystick controller for the NES in a bundle.  Had never see the little joystick before, but it's kinda neat lol Also got Sonic Chronicles on DS

Sadly don't have a working NES at the moment.  Keep trying, but keep failing at getting one working lol Gonna eventually just go out and buy one of those older Retron systems like 3 or 4 so I can be able to at least play my old NES and Genesis games.

Yeah, it's actually made by Bioware so supposedly it's pretty good.  I had forgotten it existed, saw someone else here picked it up (pretty sure it was Flea) and mentioned it was by Bioware, so then it was on my radar again & I remember thinking that I'd have to pick it up at some point.  Then no more than 2 weeks later I found it complete in a yard sale for $1.  :P

Umm... yeah made by Bioware. It's not bad, but beware there is a cliffhanger ending.
