gf78, bikingjahuty ...

you two are KILLING me.  gf78 has the rpg collection I've been trying to work on for most of my life and bikingjahuty, I'm so envious about the cheap red wii!  And Reboot, PaRappa, and Little King's Story?  Nice haul I really enjoyed LKS.

I hopped by the dollar store to see if they had brought any new DVDs and I saw they had a sign there that said all items in that particular shelf were 4 for a dollar. They didn't have much of a selection anymore, just lots of Martha Stewart cooking DVDs, some random Christian / family movies, but they also had a bunch of cheapy PC game things in there, so I took a gamble, took 'em to the register, told the clerk they were in a shelf that said 4 for 99, and she adjusted the price on the stuff.

Now about the games...



Don't judge me. THEY WERE A QUARTER EACH. SHUT UP.

A) I'm a little bit of an idiot

B) I think I may have just struck an amazing deal. 

I'll let y'all know more tomorrow after I have my hands on it.

Picked up Nier on the 360 for $5 today.

[dondetti]

Got some wants off my list today. I got Front Mission together with Torneko because it was really cheap and why not, it's Squaresoft on Super Nintendo. Shining in the Darkness is actually the PAL Mega Drive Version.

Front Mission is an awesome game, I played and completed it last year. All of the basic menus are already in English, although if you want to get in the story( which is pretty good as well) you should check out the translation script/patch. Its a pretty fun srpg and it still looks really good for being a Super Famicom game.

Yeah some pics I've looked up beforehand made me think this would probably be a good buy! I can read some japanese well enough to get the gist of the dialogue but wouldn't mind a script at hand too.

For me, this is one of those "I never thought I'd ever find this in my life" kinda finds. Tandy Color Computer games are hard to find outside of ebay and this particular title I don't think I've ever seen since the days it was sold at Radio Shack stores themselves. This was the first One on One Basketball I've ever played and really enjoyed it. Found it online, not locally, but through an Amiga fan site which sold some vintage computer equipment and software for $20 shipped. Still sealed, this is a big find for me. It's one of those titles I wouldn't have even bothered putting on a wish list since I never expected to run across it. The picture is a scan I took for the site.

Well, I had an amazing deal on 2 arcade cabinets worked out. I just had to drive 4 hours to get it.
Now, I can't find anyone to help me load and unload the things. Damn it.

Maximum Force and Crisis Zone for $200. Unreal price. Oh well.

[soera]
