Yes, as Arseen said, we live in the land of polar bears and killer mammoths. Once, a møøse bit my sister...
Some local collectors only want original Finnish releases, but I'm not that picky - but I do want PAL B area games (rest of europe sans UK and Italy, which are PAL A.) Even though my NES is modded and can play NTSC games, they run 16% slower and sometimes it can be a bit annoying. I only buy NTSC if a game is only released in NTSC or I simply can't find a PAL B version.
That's why I was never satisfied playing the NTSC Journey to Silius, since it has such great music and it was very jarring to hear it slowed down. Although I did buy Ninja Gaiden (released under the name Shadow Warriors here - I guess ninja's were a bad word since the word got also changed in Turtles - it became Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles) and the music is slower, but the game becomes a bit easier since stuff isn't flying your direction in such speeds.

Grats on Journey to Silius, I think I mentioned that I love that game for the music in your show and tell thread. By the way around the internets, there is a lot of video game collectors in Finland, is that just a coincidence or is there a biopyschosocial factor to all this or are you guys just to kewl for skewl? 8)

edit: just saw that Luigiu's Mansion goes for like 30 bucks now. On to eBay it goes. Glad I grabbed it since it's a dupe for me. Woot!

Co-signs.
One of the most platant character name ridings.
If the character would have been some unknown it would have gotten much lower reviews.

@moejoeskateco - nice stuff, I have the other two but Im still on the fence if I wanna get dragon fighter.... that said I do have an expensive pickup that should be arriving next few days. Now if I can just find power blade 2 for reasonable lol

I played a bit of Dragon Fighter and it's definitely worth playing but not worth it's market price. I traded a bunch of stuff in to the local reseller (that was of no cost to me) so I was able to get my cost on it down to a reasonable number.
BB2 and PR I paid pretty well market prices for, however, I tried to not pay market about 6 months ago and should have then as they keep going up.
I've got a copy of Power Blade 2 on the way actually but again paid Market value. There was one on ebay this morning for $210 which is the lowest BIN I've seen on it in a while. You should grab it or put in an offer. I'd get it ASAP if you want it as it's not getting cheaper. Could have paid $120 for last summer but didn't because I thought it was too expensive. I got mine off a guy on NA since most ebay sellers won't put a low value for customs when shipping to Canada so I get hit with a brokerage fee and 13% tax.
I would have cried if I had to pay 13% when Little Samson and Flintstones 2 came in.
I bought EVO for $120 instead of PB2 last summer which turns out OK as it has skyrocketed in price as well.
