I had a game exchange today and got a pretty nice pickup:

Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers 2, as well as some other stuff




Chip and Dale 2 was marked $90, but I haggled down to $75 with the label damage.  After some more negotiating, he told me the more I bought, the more I'd save.  So I got everything shown in the pics for $95
I was a little hesitant about paying that much at the moment, but I couldn't pass it up.  Torn label or not.

Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers 2
Super Mario Bros (I actuall never owned a stand alone copy of this, mine has Duck Hunt)
Shin Megami Tensei If (Super Famicom)
TMNT Back from the Sewers (gameboy)
Gargoyles (Genesis)
Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle (Genesis)
Quackshot (Genesis)
Xbox 360 HDD Transfer cable

Everything works, except for Quackshot, it seems to only respond 1/100 tries, and flickers when it does.  Deep cleaning time.

So my Mom, a friend, and I went to a city wide sale Saturday morning and this is literally the first chance I'm getting to post. But here it goes.







I picked up a few more things, some xmods, an iPod... Just didn't feel like messing with them yet.
What are you looking at? You think baby's don't like video games? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BABIES!!

Nothing big here, but I am happy now that I don't have anything hooked up via composite video anymore :)



Actually a pretty decent cable IMO.

I've been eyeing a Saturn but I can't think of any real good games to play on it.

What kind of games do you like?  It's good at 2D fighters, 3D fighters if you like virtua fighter, it's got some shooters, and a few RPGs.  Not sure what to call nights into dreams, but lots of people love it.  The D&D side scrollers rock too

I like 2D Fighters like SF etc, RPG's definitely, and t hats really it. Racing games are fun too i know it has Daytona and that is a fun game to pass time. D&D Side scrollers i'm not familiar with.

If you like 2D fighters there's nothing better than a Saturn, especially with it's massive JP fighter library.

It also has some of the best strategy rpgs around, Dragon Force!!!!!!! rocks, PDS is a classic!
2 + 3 = 23

The D&D side scrollers are ports of arcade games.  They're my second fav golden ax type fighters, the first being Knights of Valour (Never released on a home system, you have to use mame or make a supergun and get an IGS system plus the cart).  Think golden ax with classes, D&D spells, items, and levels. (Remove the D&D spells, add SF-style special moves, and you have knights of valour)  Most of the Capcom\SNK ports are the best home ports of their games, but require a ram cart.  

Legend of Oasis is a Zelda-ish action rpg.  Reminds me of alundra a lot, but I dislike how zoomed in to your char you are.
Mr Bones - Strange sidescroller that trys to be every game type in one game, not too bad.
Fighters, besides like , all the well known Capcom games, you have world heroes perfect, golden axe the duel, pocket fighters, and waku waku 7, a neo geo port from sunsoft.  3D fighters would be megamix, last Bronx, and virtua fighters.  Fighting Vipers is interesting but just doesn't seem right.


RPGs, expect to pay out the nose if lucky.  Albert Odyssey, Grandia (Also on PSX), Shining the Holy Ark, Magic Knight Gayearth, shining force III.  And by working designs, Dragon force!

No prob!  Truly the last system for the "hardcore" gamer IMO.


So, again, nothing huge, but I've been patiently waiting for it and I'm pretty amped that it's here :D




Thought about getting a green one, but I'm pretty much positive that the two greens don't match at all.
