In my region we have various Facebook pages where people give away free stuff. People simply put whatever they have on there, if you want it you can comment on it, and after a while the poster announces a winner. A few days ago someone posted a box filled with CD-ROMS. I commented, and I won. It was a big hassle getting it home by bike, but I now have it!

Most of the software is for Windows 95. A lot of it was either burned at home, or was for educational use (like Encarta). There were also a ton of burned copies from a series named 'Twilight'. I never heard of it, but apparently it's a collection of multiple PC games? I don't know.
After going through it, along with some other software discs, I got these games (all of them original and not burned at home):

  • AIRLINES
  • Verover de Oudheid (Ancient Conquest)
  • Exciting Moments of Nature: Videopuzzles
  • FlipperMania: 4 Verschillende Flipperkasten op uw PC (FlipperMania: 4 Different Pinball Machines on your PC)
  • Legpuzzels 3: voor de kids vanaf 4 jaar (Jigsaw Puzzles 3: for the kids ages 4 and up)
  • Looney Tunes: Back in Action (promotional CD-ROM) [NL] 2x
  • NASCAR Racing
  • PC-Gamehits! vol. 34: Platypus
  • PC-Gamehits! vol. 10: Waveball
  • Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc (promotional Demo disc)
  • Redline Racer
  • Road Rash
  • Screamer
  • Top 60 Racing

Clearly the previous owner was a fan of racing games. I gave all the burned copies and other discs I didn't want to my grandma. She frequently has some creative afternoons with retired elders where they craft all kinds of stuff. You'll be surprised what nice things you can make with two CDs pasted together. :)
In the meanwhile, I now have 14 Windows 95 games to try out. I just finished my exams, so I have some time to kill. Perfect timing!

Overwatch is finally here and at Best Buy, I was surprised with a free license plate for the game too which is neat.

BOXED GBA SP NES EDITION   20 EUROS!!! @#@#@#@!@#!#@!


Very nice :D

I got one of those from a friend of a friend many years back, before I'd become anything close to a "collector," and never thought they'd jump in price the way they have.

Nice, its a shame its not the super backlit version :P

Not really video game related but I purchased The Batman Files which is a book as well as some other books I won't really mention because it's neither video game or comic book related.

Nice pickups! I've been trying to find a premium edition of Ys: Oath, but I don't want to pay a lot of money since I already own the base game. Great find, and same goes with the GC case and manual from Goodwill.

For the Ys: Oath premium items, you can order the extra stuff for $5 per item on Xseed's online store ( its hacked rn unfortunately); they have a pretty good selection of stuff. I'm looking to eventually getting the other ys premium editions as well.  Eternal darkness' disc was stolen according to the cashier at the time, so I'm hoping to pick up a loose disc soon, especially since it looks like its a really good Gamecube exclusive.

Yeah, I've always liked that their store has the extras available, but I'd love to have a set with the outer box and everything to go with my premium version of Ys: Seven and anniversary edition of Celceta :D

They put up a blog entry recently about how their goodies often have different minimums, so they end up selling the extras on their store. I noticed that the store was hacked a while ago, but it looks like it's ok if you go directly to their main site then to the store. Unfortunately, the first link for "xseed store" gives you the hacked redirect.

Managed to find a complete copy of Soul Calibur IV at Mercado Libre Mexico for less than nine bucks, have to say that I'm not a big fan of this franchise and that I only decided to add it to my collection because of Ivy Valentine, time ago wanted to have all the titles for their respective consoles, I mean the first one for the Dreamcast, the second one for the GameCube (already got the third one) but it seems that these two are still available to be purchase from the Xbox games store  ;D


I don't want to be horny anymore, I just want to be happy
