I picked up enough goodies to have a pick ups update, I did something I haven't done all year.
I did some garage sales and while there wasn't a lot I did find a few items.
I also did some game hunting outside of town and found a rare game at a good price.

When I saw this announced I had to get it...

General / Re: Going For Quantity Or Quality In Games

« on: July 01, 2020, 02:00:54 am »

While I'd have to put myself in the quantity category. I usually only spend higher prices on quality games. I personally don't like many sport games and only buy them at garage sale prices or when I'm ready to complete a systems library. But I also love just buying a game I have no idea if I'll like it and discovering the game for the first time like when most of us when we where kids. I'll see a game (old or new) and buy it just because I liked the cover art or liked the style of game it is. Which is why I'm really getting into imports, so much stuff I never knew existed. Some games I know I'll never play but buy them for the story behind them or the shock value.

I'm telling you all right now a large game collection is not for everyone. If you have limited space and it looks like clutter then a collection then you need to limit your collection to what you love to play. If you walked into my house you would never know there was a giant game collection downstairs. Many people I've had over had no idea unless I told them.
 
When new collectors want to have a collection like mine and ask where to start, I say just collect what you like.

There are several games on PC that can damage your computer, there's also a homebrew cart that people make for the NES that all it does is destroy the console.

There is also a Japanese Dreamcast game that has a computer virus on it if your stupid enough to put it in your computer.


Good to know about this demo disc if I come across it.

- Gekido Kintaro's Revenge
- Cooking Mama Cookstar
I had to get this last game, in case you don't know this game was removed from the E-Shop and discontinued quick after release due to legal issues.

I'll have to look for that Gekido. As for Cooking Mama, I ordered it from Play-Asia a month ago (for WAY more than I should have) and still haven't seen anything. Funny enough, they sent me an email saying "Hey you ordered this, tell us what you think of it!" Uhhhhh....

XBone
Found some clearance games at my local Meijers.
- NBA 2K16
- PES 2016: Pro Evolution Soccer
- Sea of Thieves

I've seen Sea of Thieves marked down at the Meijer stores around here but always like $35-40. Trying to pay less than that.

PS4
- War Theatre
- Old Man's Journey

Not familiar with the EU titles, I'll have to look those up.

VITA
- The Deer God
- Bit Dungeon +
- Foxyland Collection - Limited Edition
- Kid Tripp + Miles & Kilo - Limited Edition

Nice EU Vita gets. I noticed they got a lot more releases there because of the requirement there be a physical release.

PS1
I finally got the last game I needed for a complete Playstation One US collection. 
- Starblade Alpha

Nice title for the last game. Now do US PS2 next! 

SMS
Don't get new Sega Master System games added to my collection lately, picked up this Euro exclusive.
- Dynamite Dux

Is it for certain this is Euro exclusive? There's a NA listing with a barcode. I thought I had this but it still shows on my Wishlist. 

I hope this health crisis ends soon, I was so looking forward to hitting garage sales and going to Gaming expos this year. 

I hear you on this, I'm soooo ready to go scouring into some Half Price Books.

You mentioned Meijer so you are in/near Michigan or a state nearby? I thought you were out in California or somewhere out West. 

Q1 - From what I gathered the few copies of Cooking Mama on Switch where only obtainable from a few store and online shops. Most people got it from Target stores from what I hear. I paid about $10 over the release price, which isn't bad and it was free shipping.

Q2 - This was a game I wanted to pay under $15, so when I saw it on clearance for $12.50 I grabbed it.

Q3 - Red Art Games, They had a huge sale and I picked out a few.

Q4 - Two are Red Art Games, last two are Play-Asia exclusives.

Q5 - I have 1423 out of the 1800 or so released in the USA 
       I have been buying more PS2 titles I'm missing the last few years, My local used game store runs a sale of B5G5 free and I try and
       knock out a lot of scrap titles during those sales. Usually I start finishing a collection once I see I have a low amount left to get for
       that system. Maybe I'll do N64. I think there's only one hard to get game I need and I'm only missing 24 games for a complete. 

Q6 - Far as I can find it was only released in the Europe, It works fine on a US SMS sense the system is region free.

Q7 - Yes, I live near the Chicago area.

Mostly sending offers to sellers online and I bought a bunch of cheap Japanese games that are stuck in Japan. 

Japan Post isn't shipping internationally since mid April. It happened to a lot of people. To get something out of Japan you need to use DHL now. I bought one thing the day before the "embargo" and paid for EMS, but the seller shipped with DHL instead.

Most where bought right at the beginning of the crisis. Just gotta hope they get to me once this is all over.
