croagunk | 798 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Went to the used video game store to get a Nintendo 64 Game Boy Transfer Pak. Also saw a copy of Pokkén Tournament DX for the Switch, so I grabbed that too. Of course I went and got the Game & Watch Super Mario Bros. Not as hard to get as I was expecting. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Some current and cross-gen games to play and collect. Game Fly used games sales can't be beat for price or quality. Can't wait to start Demon's Souls this weekend! Game Gear Micro with the Big Window! Haven't gotten around to trying these out, but I love how ridiculous they are. No luck getting the Aleste version yet. A couple more Evercade carts to keep that set current and some Nintendo Rewards. The pin set was way more hassle than it was worth, but it's nice to have. Coming soon: New Consoles! 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californication | 1,477 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) A little bitter sweet. My hu-card drive isn't working. Then Gamestop sent me a disc only Azure Striker. It was $8 so I guess I'm keeping it. Edit: On the plus side: Air Zonk, 1943 Kai, Gunhed, and Rayxanber 2 were only $300.

The Coca Cola collectors are crazier than video game collectors so I’m sure if you decide to sell it you will get too dollar for that condition. I don't really want to, wife was snarking on it the other day telling me to sell it because I already have a coke thermometer. I've got one of those larger maybe they're 16"(?) white cap blue glass coke bottle ones that works too marked Donasco made in the usa on the bottom. Unlike the one I just got it's not damaged. I attached an old image I found on my drive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularGuyGamer | 2,013 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 So I managed to lay down a snipe bid and get Panzer Dargoon 1 for $70 shipped I had a snipe on the sequel from the same seller but it sold for over $100 shipped which I wasn't ready for. Oh well, I'll track it down. I believe when I sold my original pair back on 2015 I sold the pair for $120 so I won't be too far off the original sale price. I also managed to scoop a couple OG Xbox games for free from a co-worker. His brother in-law was a gamer and sadly passed and he asked if I could list some games for him on ebay to avoid getting the shaft from GameStop or a pawnshop. He said I could take a 20% or some games for the trouble and I got these bad boys so far. My Xbox collection has almost maxed out the space I allotted on the built-ins. I might have the rearrange some of the lower shelves if I keep accumulating games for it... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done this a couple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renmauzo | 1,201 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 A few things from the last few days. I picked up a few Game & Watch units on Friday and it's interesting to see/hear the reactions from the family. My son thinks it's cute, but Mario's too 'slippery (lol); he loves the clock. My daughter just loves the clock and keeps it beside her bed; she loves all the stuff Mario does on screen while the time is displayed. Sakuna came in and I'm looking forward to carving out some time at some point to give it a go, but the saga of Cooking Mama continues and my daughter (and me...) is/are having a blast with Sweet Shop; we pretend the pastry connoisseur in the game is French and voice her accordingly. Yakuza showed up today...man, I love the Yakuza series. I'm looking forward to diving into this one. A few more Worlds of Power books showed up and a few more are on the way, so we almost have them all. My son is intrigued by the Castlevania book, so hopefully I can convince him to give it a read *fingers crossed*. Puyo Pop is fun, I realized I didn't have it, so I picked it up (didn't realize how cheap the game is which was a nice change of pace)... ...and Sylphia. Finally, Sylphia. I only have one more PCE CD based game left, and I'm done (no full set or anything like that, just the games I've wanted to have/play), but I'm going to enjoy this find for a while That's all for now. May you all find the awesome things you are after (and even treasures you didn't know you wanted), and may they find you in good health! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,536 Editorials Team · Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 With my birthday coming up my mom asked if I wanted a Switch game.

Brickman | 3,987 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Managed to find a complete copy of Holy Diver for my Famicom collection that isn't a repro or fake box. The front of the box is a little damaged but the rest is in very nice condition. If I ever find a better looking box I'll probably do an upgrade. Looking forward to playing this one. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,934 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Wow nice I've wanted that for years, but always missed out on a clean cart copy of it, and as the price inched up I kind of let that dream die. Once the Japanese caught on to importers taking advantage it was just over. Great on you getting that and so nice and complete too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange | 1,700 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I can’t remember the last time I bought a current gen physical Switch game (maybe Risk of Rain 2?) and this week I bought two! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you still need it by the time I revisit portions of Tokyo, I'll gladly pick one up for you. My fees are fair and I don't require Reed's soul as a down payment.

I do have a contact in Japan which is where I get most of my Japanese stuff from, but it can be very hit and miss depending where and when he goes to places.

BirdDogGaming | 218 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Absolutely insane purchase. Including shipping, I spent about $70 on these two. Can’t believe the figure is sealed. 10 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Macross games go, that was probably the best one the US got unfortunately as the camera/control on the console game was sadly just broken. Also that GBA game got emulated and stuffed into a reused Coleco tabletop shell a few years back for a nice little desktop arcade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should add that I might be busy trying to get any updated info in regards to getting legal help starting my business there. But I also do know my way around Akihabara, Nakano Broadway, and -- to a lesser degree -- Nipponbashi. So if I can find this, my guess is it will pop up in any of Mandarake's shops. Otherwise, I am going to hope that my game hunting does not end like it did in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshdose | 56 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I have a strong appreciation for the innovations Naughty Dog have done for Sony. Recently, I’ve been reading a lot about developers undergoing dangerous “crunch” practices. It’s sad to see how much these devs have had to endure with recent games. That being said, I’ve decided to acquire something autographed by original Naughty Dog powerhouse dev team, around the time or before the time that the crunching stories started becoming nightmarish. I’m very excited to have this piece in my collection and will hang on to it for life. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
