A few days ago on my day off I did some more game shopping, I only picked up a couple games. Alan Wake Remastered and Rock Boshers DX, for the PS4.

Mario wonder was retail price but it is supposed to come with a pre order bonus... even though i didnt preorder, should be here thursday?
I wasnt going to get it but i watched MVG's review on it and i kinda changed my mind, its pretty good. Close to World but doesnt have all the little secrets World has and i am not a big fan of the badge system they have going on

A few days ago I went to a little game store that's fairly new, they didn't have any PS3 or PS4 games that sparked my interest except for one, Summer Lesson: Hikari Miyamoto. It's some kind of Japanese VR dating sim, and on the dimly lit bottom shelf it looked like the price tag said $14.95, and for the price it was okay to buy something so weird. When the guy rang it up it came out to $44.95, and I had misread the price tag. And then I was too awkward to have him take it off because I didn't want to spend that kind of money on something so goofy (that I can't even play because (a) VR makes me sick and (b) the HDMI port on my used PS4 is about to go out and I don't want to risk unplugging it and setting up the VR breakout box again).

I found out that a bunch of PS3 games had been reprinted, including Syberia Collection, so I ordered that one off Amazon. I might have seen one copy in the couple months between getting my first PS3 and COVID lockdowns, and never again. So long ago that I forgot it existed. This one's new and sealed. I'm crawling little by little to the 700 PS3 game mark.

Today I ran into Game Over Videogames and picked up a GunCon3, the PS3 version that has the motion sensors with it so it can be played on an LCD screen. I bought the gun cheap a while ago without sensors, and it's a bitch to find those things without resorting to eBay. It was never a high priority, considering the GunCon 3 only works with two or three games. But it's nice to finally have.

Earlier in the week I stopped at a few places looking for games, all I ended up buying was Bee Simulator. It was something that's been in that store for a long time, and it was cheap, so I felt the need to give it a good home.

Today I stopped at the Half Price Books headquarters of the Dallas area and was really happy to see Kamen Rider Battride War for the PS3. Then their locked glass cases were filled with really rare stuff I'd never be able to afford (I keep drooling over their copy of Shadow Warrior 2 that they're charging $200 for). Out of that case I bought NeuroVoider for the PS4.

Down the street is the Dallas headquarters store for the Movie Trading Company and I picked up Sonic Mania for the PS4. It was the only thing on the shelves that was interesting.

Yesterday I ran to the Japanese supermarket on the other side of Dallas and picked up the Pac-Man figure and the Taiko no Tatsujin drum figure out of the Gachapon arcade they have there.

Dodonpachi Resurrection for switch was a preorder but i got the castlevania anniversary collection and metroid dread used from estarland.com using store credit for trade-ins.

Yesterday I went to a GameXchange in Mesquite, TX and didn't buy anything, but got close. They had a cardboard box full of Odyssey 2 and Colecovision games that were all boxed. They were a bit overpriced, as far as I was concerned. I would have liked to pick up 2010 The Graphic Action Game or Quest for Quintana Roo for the Colecovision, but I didn't want to spend that much.

That location has always had great retro stuff in it. I drop by a couple years ago, they've got a Japanese Saturn console next to a top-loader 3DO. You'll find odd stuff there. They used to have an original Magnavox Odyssey in the travel case with 6 "carts" they were selling for $500 which was bought up quickly. They apparently just sold a Colecovision and they had an Atari 7800 there yesterday. This is also the shop that had a glass case filled to the brim with duplicates of the same two or three APF MP-1000 cartridge games. They seem to have spread them around to all the other locations in the Dallas area.
