I'm a little late on a few of these but last month was pretty busy. Here's the highlights:
MechWarrior 2 complete with original manuals. I'm a big fan of the series (started with Vengeance) and so now I'm working my way back into the older titles. That "manual" is pretty cool because it's written in the style of a military issue field guide, as if you're a real pilot about to go into the field. The immersion is something I love about the series.
Pika 64! I always wanted one of these but could never justify getting one since I had a working N64 and now I've finally got one! Thanks Wiggy!
Following with last month's theme, I picked up a copy of Kirby's Dream Collection.
I decided to grab the original GB title too - it takes a short sitting to beat, but it's surprisingly fun. Silent Scope and Prince of Persia were less than $5 for the pair so I thought why not.
Spice and Wolf is an incredible Anime. I blew through Season 1 on Netflix and then ordered it to finish the series and also to support it financially. It's an amazingly clever show that involves trade, economics, and really intriguing and realistic character interactions. The centerpiece of course is the surprisingly dense romantic interaction between the two main characters. It became an overnight favorite for me and I seriously recommend it to anyone looking for something a little more mature and intellectually satisfying in the anime world. It'll make ya feel all warm and fuzzy inside too.
Yggdra Union was picked up on a whim after I saw it in LaurenHiya21's thread in the photo gallery. It looked fun, so I bought a cart-only copy on eBay for $7.91. It ended up coming CIB with manual.
This little beauty of an RGB upscaler is what you buy when you can't get an XRGB for a good price, and it does just about as good of a job too. I was playing Star Fox the other night and I can't tell you how much better it is than S-Video. This thing's a bitch to get wired up properly, but it's totally worth it ($33 shipped) - especially if you play with an HDTV, monitor, or projector. Oh, and I'll be posting some pictures of the results and possibly taking orders for people who want to purchase a fully set up and ready to go unit.
