January 2024 - Recently Added to Collection/Recently Purchased New

[bikingjahuty]

I'm surprised no one else has started this thread yet. But anyhow, new month, new year, let's see what you picked up!

I do not really buy much video games today, but I do got some. I feel sorry for the modern video game industry. I do want to support the new games as much as possible, but? before creating new games we must first learn how to build new ones from scratch, so they won't be broken as easy, by bad things in the world today.

Had a generic gift card I had tried to use on OneMap (so will be posting about that in the future I also got an Ebay giftcard so will be posting about that purchase hopefully soon) that it wouldn't work.

Plan to be more frugal this year and focus more on repairing junk consoles, using the revenue from that to help fund the collection. I sold a few NES games and a Gamecube I fixed to get the two games below. Currently working on another Gamecube repair to possibly get another game this month depending on how fast those replacement parts arrive. I’m in no hurry to fill out the collection, we’ll see how the year goes.

Twinkle Star Sprites (Sega Saturn)
Puyo Puyo Sun 64 (Nintendo 64 JP)

Ebay giftcard winnings for

PC
Angel Devoid: it was a meme purchase, it was in the seller's other items so why not.
Major League Manager (5.25" disk): AFAIK, this version is undumped but I will need to find someone locally with a 5.25" drive to get that done. The only 5.25" drive I have is for either Apple II or C64/VIC-20.
