Today is a momentous occasion! I stumbled across my first bootleg! lol

Was checking out the new games at the thrift shop that I've been pretty good at finding nice deals and came across a copy of Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World on GBA.  Their GBA games are usually only a couple bucks a piece so it seemed like a cool grab.  I got home and noticed the shell was abit lose, figuring maybe I needed to just tighten the screw on the back.  I noticed that the screw had very clearly been used and stripped.  That got me thinking...I started to look online and right away, I noticed the artwork is completely wrong as every one I saw on Ebay had one type of artwork, so I realized I had a bootleg lol  Upon closer inspection of the front, it pointlessly adds and misspells "LICFENSED BY NINTENDO" lol

It still has the game in it which seems to run after a couple tries, so I'm not completely screwed, I just don't have an official version now lol

Oh and I got MGS2 which turns out to be part of the Essential Collection set that had MGS1, 2, and 3.

It was a handheld morning it seems.  The 3DS game is Paper Mario Sticker Star.

Picked up a couple games this week.



I ran to the one game store I usually hit up for miniatures paint and in their used PS2 section they had From Russia with Love CIB for $3. So I snagged it.

Then, I had a freebie $25 Amazon card from my bank's rewards program, so I ordered Shadow Hearts: Covenant. After the card, I only paid $4 for it.

I'm not complaining, mind you, but that's really weird!

Two days before it's supposed to release and on a weekend, very weird and awesome indeed.

I gotta say, this CE is *really* nice!  I can't believe I almost passed on it - full-size artbook instead of those mini artbooks that are so common, very nice figure & steelbook, the watch replica is cool and there's a neat mini plush of the cat.  The box is huge (bigger than the Xillia 1 CE box) and looks very nice displayed, and the figure itself comes inside another box inside w/ a clear front window so that if you wanted to, you could display him in that.  I didn't, had to stand him next to the Millia figure.    But I'm impressed, it's much nicer in person that it sounds on paper.  Basically, it doesn't feel like they cheaped out anywhere (well, they could have given us the full soundtrack I suppose... ).  $130 was a bit steep, but the $110 I got it for after coupon is more reasonable (and honestly that's what I paid for the first Xillia CE after tax - I didn't pay tax on this one because I ordered it direct from Namco).

Ordered this magazine from eBay. It was a gaming magazine I used to have as a kid that I'd read over and over again. So this should be a neat bit of nostalgia:



I remember the magazine just being huge, and covering every system imaginable at the time; rather than just Nintendo and Sega.

I also got this issue, too, so I could read one I haven't seen before:



The magazine started out as "VideoGames & Computer Entertainment", and later changed to this title.

I also added these issues to the database.
