I don't think many here will hate on Little Mermaid. It's a solid title.

Yeah it's not the best (or close to the top) Capcom game, but fun never the less.

@Sheep & Arseen - next time I see some I'll grab a handful for you guys

Maybe 5 each of the different ones you find, thank you.
My nephews have tendency to snatch nice looking stuff from my room.

I had two pickups this month, from JJ games, and spending my ebay bucks. 

So first, the JJ Games shipment, was like $75 all together:

Here's the box.  All guys like pics of boxes.  Some claim they don't, but they're normally the ones who wish they had their own box.



Here's the great game, legends of the diam...daim... da faq?





And the full game shipment:










The other pickup was an Atari supercharger.  I can not get it to work with my cell phone, the plug doesnt fit right.  But worked fine off my work laptop.  The one I do goverment security contracting jobs on. 


Yes, I still need to clean the game room, it's getting more of a mess the more I sort stuff out. This will be an all-winter project.


Dragon Warrior? Final Fantasy? Ha, I bring you Dragon Stomper!


Wonder how much the super charger helps?  First image is normal frogger, second is the supercharger version.


And last thing, while it's not really a pick up, I decided to see if any of my C64 collection still worked after the years of storage.  The carts worked fine, figured they would, even got me a bit of BASIC programmed in while testing the keyboards:

The tape drive won't work at all, acts like no power.  Tried it on both C64s, so chances are its the deck itself.  I thought there was no way my disk drives would work, I had issues with them being dirty even when I used them, but...

This company, selling BBS systems for C64 modems, later changed their name to... AOL.  Thats right, I'm using an AOL Online disk for the C64.  I tried 2-3 other floppies, they were no good, so I decided to risk it, and opened my fave C64 games, the Gold Box ones....

WE HAVE AD&D/SSI GOLD BOX GOODNESS! WOO HOO!

Picked up a brand-spankin' new replacement power supply for the Neo Geo MVS. Mine was pretty dusty and rusty from being in a barn for however long, and the fan rattled pretty bad. A quick 10 min swap out and this baby barely makes a sound on power up now!

Just ordered this from the BigBadToyStore. $50 with $15 2-3 day shipping.
This marks the last figure I plan on buying this month, Maybe beside that Popco Peach and DK figure . . . .


@BadChad, I'll try to do the Challenger scans this weekend. I did not forget. 

[BadChad]

Nice pick-up on the figma Link figure! I had that bad boy pre-ordered before original release. Sweet figure, and cool they did a second run of Link and Samus for those who missed out the first time around.

Just some advice for when Link comes in, be sure to run his hand under hot water before you put the sword in it. The plastic is pretty stiff and I've heard the hand can snap under enough force. Running it under hot water for a few seconds beforehand will allow the plastic to soften and stretch a little more freely so you can get the sword in hand safely. When it cools down, it will stiffen right back into place.

And thanks for remembering the Challenger scans! Looking forward to them!

They ship worldwide. Not sure on shipping rates to you though.

They will be high.
And X360 has region locking.

PS3 doesn't but I think PS2 has Finnish speak or text atleast in PAL version.
Not that I need them, but fun to have anyway.
