For an early Christmas present, my gf surprised me with Where In Time is Carmen Sandiego? (NES). It's even complete with the instructions and encyclopedia crammed into that large box! Totally unexpected...

Happy Holidays!

This morning, I received Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS) from my gf, because she knows that I'm always twisting my nipples over every Castlevania game that comes out!

I had a decent haul this Christmas...

From the 'rents I got Wii Fit and a pair of Mario boxers and from my sister two books from the Complete Peanuts collection.

A friend of mine provided a smorgasboard of game stuffs, including Boom Blox, the two Ocarina of Time comics, couple of DS puzzlers and a few older GBA games, like Iridion 2 and Blackthorne.

My niece got me this shirt for Xmas:





This will compliment my "not now, I'm playing video games" shirt.

I got a 16 gig ipod touch for christmas.

Found some of my old Computer Gaming World issues while scrounging around through some old boxes. These are issues 53 through 65 circa 1988-89. Sadly I have issues 1-52 somewhere if I can only find'em.

[Kyle15]

-Naruto Shippuuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! EX 3
-Tatsunoko VS Capcom
-Guilty Gear XX Slash
-Patapon
-The Art of Metal Gear Solid 2

The Japanese games were from my parents, and Patapon came from my brother. I've been wanting it for a long time! He was luckily able to get it from Target for $13.99.
It is also the only English game I received today. :/

The artbook came from a comic/anime shop in the area. I can't believe the owner had it sitting in his shop still!
I never noticed it before, but I guess that's because I never went to his other location in town.

Santa visited the old apt. today. recieved call of duty world at war and gears 2 (both 360)...also Christmas eve bore the advent of castlevania judgment (wii) as well as a $40 gift card to gamestop. I did manage to buy my brother and sister in law a brand new Nintendo Wii.

sadly, i've nothing to share on the classic title front as i've had no chance to go to the flea market and as ususal pawn shops in the area consist of nothing but ps2/xbox/360/ps3/ and handhelds. nothing.....classic....ever.

Anyway, i've gotten to the point where i'm not going to buy every title i find for the snes, nes, dreamcast, genesis, sega cd, saturn etc... I'm trying to get much more focused on what i'm collecting because the old budget just took a big slap in the face with the purchase of a 2004 dodge dakota as well as the student loans i'm racking up while teaching and taking masters courses at the same time.

Anyway, Christmas was great today, nothing to complain about. I'm just thankful for family and friends and my wife who really went all out with gears 2 and call of duty.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.

Christmas eve bore the advent of castlevania judgment (wii)

You must have been very naughty this year to have gotten such a big lump of coal

[bangtango]

I'm assuming that's Godzilla: Save the Earth. A friend of mine bought the Xbox version a few weeks ago and we had quite a bit of fun with it.

My nephew opened it this morning and it turns out it is Godzilla Unleashed. But same difference if you ask me.

Ok, my Christmas acquisitions included the following:


-Ninja Gaiden (cart only): NES
-Tag Team Wrestling (cart only): NES
-Cobra Triangle (cart only): NES
-NBA Showdown (box and cart): SNES
-Stunt Race FX (cart only): SNES
-Looney Toons B-Ball (box and cart): SNES
-Sword of Hope II (cart only): Gameboy
-Grand Theft Auto Vice City (disc only): XBox
-WWE Crush Hour (complete): PS2
-David Beckham Soccer (still sealed): PS1
-Sega Genesis Model 2 "Sports" Bundle (like new): also includes NFL 94 pack-in
-WWF Royal Rumble (cart only): Genesis


All of them came from my mother, presumably from some of her pawn shop or thrift store visits.

[Porksta]

Bought myself Mirror's Edge for the 360 today. Now I have a game!

[aaron7]

Paid around $100 for all this at the local gaming store. Little pricey but I hadn't been in a while so... meh

All games (except the loose ones lol) are CIB. Price tags are on plastic bags, not on the boxes.

GG - Surf Ninjas
PS3 - Motorstorm
MS - Astro Warrior
NES - see pic I'm lazy

Japanese Ghostbusters on Mega Drive, Box and Game- Works fine with Game Genie, even in English.

Monster Party loose- Pretty good, but the back is a little smoke damaged, ala SNES style.

Dreamcast mouse- Some place finally had it for less than $10.

Gangster Alley (2600)- I never pass up a Spectravision cart.

All this for $12, I'm pretty satisfied.

[Sabz5150]

Nabbed the little TV for 5 bucks. Needs a bit of adjustment but I definitely got my money's worth. I've got it setup at my compy desk so I can test the CDs I am compiling for the Starpath.

Behold! AtariCD!!!

EDIT: That's Neotokeo2001's "Combat Black". Thumbs up on the customs!

[Terminusvitae]

A new flea market just opened in a nearby unincorporated town, and I've found a few things there already, all NES.

Jimmy Connors Tennis (R6)--$2.50
Day Dreamin' Davey (R5)--$5
Bromance of the Three Kingdoms' Sons 2--$5
Kirby's Adventure--$2.50

There are several more games and accessories there, but I just haven't had much time to pick through them these past couple weeks.

Japanese Ghostbusters on Mega Drive, Box and Game- Works fine with Game Genie, even in English.

Interesting. Most of my Japanese import Mega Drive games work on my Jvc X-Eye with no additional assistance, except for TMNT: Return of Shedder(it stops after loading the title screen). I have a Genesis game genie and I wonder if it would alleviate this problem.

Well, I have a Model 1. From my knowledge, only the X-Eye and Genesis 3 have ports that allow Japanese carts. Of course, it doesn't matter if the cart is locked out.

Ghostbusters isn't, but it still doesn't fit without a Game Genie.
