yesterday I had a blast hanging out with a good friend who also happens to be a former collector and currently is a game developer. We ate curry chicken, played a lot of Dreamcast (via VGA to make it even better!) and MAME, and he TOTALLY hooked me up! He is currently paring down the remnants of his collection and gave me first dibs on stuff he was going to throw on ebay soon. As an added bonus he sold me all of the following for only $80!! I was in shock at the price! BTW, he is currently developing an amazing game that I will soon be promoting the hell out of when he launches a Kickstarter campaign for it, probably later this year. But here is what I went home with.
I guess the amount was just a symbol not about the value a very nice gift indeed.
Besides if you have a nice job this amount ain't to much of an importance but it's a nice extra I'd say
Nice one on the raiden project, those first two games are full of nostalgia for me.
He has always been a great friend, and during his collecting days we both would hook each other up quite a bit. I still feel like the debt is in my court though, and lucky for me him and his wife are really into manga and I just so happen to have a lot of it. They will be getting quite a few freebies next time we meet up.
I've been wanting Raiden Project for a long time, ever since I passed on it for $20 about 3 years ago and never have come across it since.
He still has some incredible stuff in his collection that I would love to buy off him someday, but for now he seems pretty content with holding onto what is left of it. He has all three Panzer Dragoon games on the Saturn and all the other NTSC-US Saturn RPGs, I don't expect him to ever let go of those though.
