Just one today but I would say a pretty good one at that. Imported The Firemen for the Super Famicom for $24.99. Very fun game for the little bit I've played so far and best of all I'd say half of it is already in English. Only thing you really lose out on is a bit of the in-game dialogue. Well worth an import and its a shame it wasn't released in the states.

I just went to Parcelforce to pick up my package... the EMS Postage form was incorrectly done causing me to be charged 2-3 times the VAT I should of been charged.... I sometimes hate importing.

Anyway my package contained 3 Touhou Project games.

The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.

Perfect Cherry Blossom.

Imperishable Night.

(Pics will come soon)

I paid $53.88 for them

So I didn't find anything I didn't already have myself but I still lucked out pretty good at Value Village today!

- Donkey Kong Country - $5
- Super Mario All-Stars - $5

and...

- DEMON'S CREST - $5!!!!!! and in great shape!

When the hell did this become so fucking rare?! I remember buying my copy on ebay a few years back for only $25. Now it looks like you cant find a copy for less than $100 :o

That FF3 Box & Manual is mighty tempting wiggy lol. I still remember finding that for $20 CIB when I was about 13-14 years old. I didn't even know FF3 existed at the time and ran home sooooooo fast to bug my mom for money to buy it. My mom always knew just how obsessed I was with Final Fight and Streets of Rage and just threw the money at me to get me out of her hair, without any arguments lol! And then of course, I traded it away...

I do NEED Demon's Crest still...

Last pickups for May! Took a lot of random stuff to a local gamestore and in exchange got God of War and Vice City for PS2 and still got plenty of "exchange money" left to be used. PES 5 was from a local.. I guess you could say goodwill store, for 3 €. I haggled it down from 4 because the disc was scratchy, but it still worked fine (at least so far). And then I stumbled upon my regular used book & comic store and picked up the Calvin & Hobbes 10 year anniversary book for 15 €. I love C&H and Bill Watterson's insights in that collection.

Well after nearly 7 years of bitching how I hated the system I bought a good condition complete Wii from a co-worker today for $40.

(The reason I "hated" it probably had more do with my love affair with the Gamecube and how I didn't feel that it was really much of an upgrade, plus I still hate motion gimmicks.  But there are plenty of good games out there reasonably priced that it's about time I hop on board.  :))

I won a few SNES boxes in eBay auctions today. Once I get back from my business trip in about a month I'll scan and upload them.






I have a place holder for World Heroes 2, It just needs good cover art. Send me the scan when you're done!

I have to amend this as I actually made this post after I gave him the money but before we walked out to his truck to get it for me.  When he handed me the box it contained a lot more than I thought it would.  Most of these games I absolutely do not want and don't know what to do with but I will keep a few, plus the charging station.  Score.

Got this in the mail today. I'm kind of surprised its not all that popular from what I can see, the game itself is a pretty awesome port of Thunder Force III to the SNES, its got awesome music and is quite the fast paced SHMUP. Definitely would recommend it to anyone that is looking for an SNES shmup.



It's a little rough but only cost me $10, the cart itself looks brand new minus the rental stickers that leave the void behind, the actualy cart pins look like its never been played.
