I am getting these two:

I decided to pass on Castlevania for now, but I think I will buy it used at some point.

Same goes for Super Mario Advance 4.

I WILL buy Rebel Strike and Railroad Tycoon 3, though. :D

EDIT: My brother is picking up SMA4: SMB3 so I will be playing that! :-)

With a bit of luck, this week I hope to get a copy of Opcode's Space Invaders Collection.

And then, when it becomes available, Sky Jaguar!

Let's see...

A complete Sega Master System with gun and games from a friend at AtariAge. A Sega Genesis 2 and Sega CD with games off eBay. A Jaguar complete with DOOM, Tempest 2K and Cannon Fodder for $25 off eBay...

What else?

Hmm... I think that's it.

Oh.. and Star Wars Chess CIB for Sega CD and last week a Nomad with battery pack.

I've been a busy little guy this past week.

With all the good stuff that's already been out, who needs new games?

nice finds, I have been picking up a bunch of saturn games of ebay, got a killer deal on the sega ages afterburner/outrun pack, got it for 11 bucks.... sweeeeeeeeeeet.

Hopefully I'll be paying off that Sharp x68000 this week for $550, along with a loose MSX2 Akumajo Dracula for $20.

Already paid for a ton of stuff which I wish I had here right now. I think that, after paying for the Sharp system, I'll have 1/3 of my collection's worth not yet delivered.

I missed out on the one thing I REALLY wanted to hang in my room.

The bastard batled me for the last 5 minutes and got it at the last second for a buck more than me.

You and me both, brother.

I'm not buying any this week, but next week I'm picking up Top Spin tennis for the Xbox. I rarely buy new $50 games, but I have to make an exception for this 'cause I'm a big tennis fan and I've been waiting for an online tennis game to play for a LONG time. Seems like tennis would be a perfect online game: it's fast, 1-on-1, and easy to learn/play.

Lament. Of. Innocence. Nuff said. Oh, and of course I mean the Castlevania game. :P

Castlevania I am not buying it I had to trade a few games to EBHELL for it.

10-20-2003, 08:29 PM

i got today Maximo, Shenmue 2 (Xbox, i got the import Dreamcast game), and Blood Omen 2 (GC), and tomorrow I'll get Dragon warrior 7.

That's it for this week, otherwise I'll end up in a poorhouse. :)

All of them $20, except Blood Omen for $15.

Whatever I can find that's used and cheap. Hopefully, I'll be hitting the EB Games stores back home for PlayStation games this weekend, and I located a $10 copy of Gradius III and IV for PS2 at an independent store down the block. BTW, does anyone know how rare that game is?

SoulBlazer

10-20-2003, 08:47 PM

I think Gradius 3 + 4 is uncommon, not rare. The game is more of a cult game, combined with it being launch title.

I guess I'm the only one who remembers what a fantasic game that Railroad Tycoon and Railroad Tycoon 2 is? It's a Sid game, for the love of God. :) Can't wait to get my hands on 3. :)

Nothing wrong with new games -- in fact, if I had a thouand dollars I'd be able to buy everything that came out this year that I wanted but had to pass on. LOL

Castlevania and Xbox Music Mixer.

Possibly Time Crisis 3, I dunno.

Scratch the Music Mixer, as it's delayed again, this time into November sometime. :angry:

Looks like SSX 3 for me then. :D

Amen x2. I havent bought a game for the current systems for a year now, and i wont start soon.

I think it's wrong for people to shun games just because they are modern. Great games have been made in every period for every system.

Already bought a pair of N64 controllers yesterday, and I'm waiting on a Panzer Dragoon Orta and a Trance Vibrator in the mail. But they probably won't get here this week, and I'm not spending more than $20 on a game this week, anyway, unless I grab one of those used Tactics Ogre GBA carts I seen in the case at Softie Etc. Is the manual at all important for playing that game?

SoulBlazer

10-22-2003, 12:20 PM

Well, it DOES help. :) I would say yes. I snagged my copy from Amazon for $20.

Jasoco

10-22-2003, 02:31 PM

I just recieved my Master System and Jaguar and a ton of games in the mail and I can't wait for 6:00 so I can play with them!

I'm really looking forward to DOOM and Tempest 2K on the Jag and Fantasy Zone on the SMS.

DAMN THIS SLOW CLOCK!!! GO FASTER!
