There should be lots of games arriving for people this week, both for Christmas and for those we get for Christmas...well, those you get for Christmas. No one ever gets me any so I have to get them myself. Also, I was away when the Secret Santa exchange was taking place so I don't even have that. At any rate, I have many games coming and may go out and get some in person (like I did today) so I invite everyone to post what they get as they get them. Of course, you are not to reveal what your Secret Santa got you in this thread...at least not until Thursday.

I went out and picked up the following...

Mortal Kombat 3 (SNES)
Rocky Rodent (SNES)
Samurai Shodown (SNES)
Midway Arcade Treasures (GameCube)
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (GameCube)

I was actually going to wait until after Christmas to get the Prince of Persia game but decided since I was there, I might as well get it today and save me a trip later.

Well, forget about Thursday...today was my Christmas as far as getting games! Besides the 5 games I mentioned in the first post of this thread, I got another 7 games in the mail. These include...

Spider-Man (SNES)--Based on the animated series
Dirt Trax FX (SNES)
Captain Commando (SNES)
Mickey Mania (SNES)
Brunswick World Tournament of Champions (SNES)--Bowling, if you didn't know
Alien Resurrection (Playstation)
Silent Hill 2 (Playstation 2)

I believe I still have a few games on order, believe it or not, so I'm going to be busy for many weeks...

I'm too old for people to give me games for Xmas they usually get gift certificates and power tools these days :)

But I did get myself a few games.

Duke Nukem (Saturn)
Quake (Saturn)
Worms (Saturn)
Motocross (32X)
Castle Crisis (Atari 8bit)
Max Payne (GBA), this is a lot better than I thought it was going to be :D

Playing through those should keep me busy during the winter holiday.

Decided to indulge in some used PS2 goodness for my self-bought Christmas presents:

Shinobi
Twisted Metal: Black
GTA3

So I'm coming late to the GTA3 bandwagon, but after playing only a few missions I can see why this game is so damn popular. Wowsa.

Well, my haul is defnitely outclassed here, but last night my wife gave me a handheld Disney Trivia game. It's a little bit cooler than you'd think, and as she gave it to me she explained that I finally had a video game she'd play with me, so that's a big bonus to it. (seriously.)

This thing has an LCD display that displays animations, images, or text, and asks multiple choice questions after each. It has a couple of play modes, keeps track of high scores, etc... And the sucker is LOUD. The volume has a few positons, but they're stepped, not variable, and the lowest setting other than OFF is still pretty loud. No sneaking this thing around.

It's shown here:

I'm getting other cool stuff though, and my DP SS is waiting to be opened, so things are good in my neck of the woods.

Well haven't bought myself any games for Christmas, but I did buy myself one of those system selector pros, a wireless router, and an xbox wireless adapter.

Asked for the Midway Arcade Treasures game for xbox, KoF 2k & 2k1, and Battlefield 1942 for Christmas though.

Edit: oops forgot I bought myself a 1944 cps2 b board and it's on it's way. Hopefully I'll get it before Christmas.

From the "You have got to #@$@ kidding me" department...

Won the three woody woodpecker 3DO Games off of ebay for $90...$40 for WUMO and shipping from argentina....

I stroll into my old stomping grounds while killing time, they have Volume one complete for $9.99.

You bet your ass I picked it up. Time to go recoup some money. :)

Surprisingly, after starting this thread on Monday, I didn't get another game until today (Friday)...but I got 3 of them. They include...

1. Brutal: Paws of Fury (SNES)
2. Activision Anthologhy (PS2)
3. Beyond Good & Evil (GameCube)

I ordered all of these myself so none of them are Christmas gifts...I still have some others coming including the SNES version of Mr. Do! but don't know if any others will arrive this week.

I had a few of Master System games arrive this week (Line of Fire, Winter Olympics, Slap Shot, Prince of Persia), which is nothing unusual, but since it's Christmas, I splashed out on a new console and for £5 + p&p got a mint boxed Amstrad GX4000. Woo, it's 1990 all over again!
