I definitely recommend Rayman Origins.
Mel:
I have quite enjoyed playing Rayman Origins in the past and for $4 seem like a nice deal for the digital copy. It's just a quick pick and play game for few minutes.

--- Quote ---Those games are worth around $1 each. The display case is probably worth $20. The only game that's worth anything significant is the ColecoVision game BC Grog's Revenge - maybe $10-$15. Still not a bad deal especially if you're looking to start a collection as you have some of the better quality 2600 titles. I can't see what the yellow label Atarisoft game is. If it's Galaxian for ColecoVision, it's worth around $25.

I'm more than aware of what the games are worth. I just told that story about the "value" of each game because of the stupid comment that the woman at Goodwill told me. Many of them are actually worth a little more than a dollar. The doubles and the case alone are worth enough to get me my money back. In the end I will add about 25 games to my collection at no cost to me. 8)

Sorry if my comment came across as abrupt. I didn't quite get what you were saying about when you bought them, nor did I mean to imply that you somehow didn't get a good deal, or that the games weren't worth buying. I would have made that purchase if I came across it.

No worries. ;D

Hey all, this is not yet a "pick-up" as I haven't placed my order yet (waiting to find a functional promo code), but I wanted to share it on a thread where it might get the most exposure.
Jeremy Parish, Mr. Retronauts himself, along with many of his colleagues from gamespite.com have a page on blurb featuring collections of their articles bound into very nice looking books. They are print-to-order, and some of the editions can get pricey, but as someone who enjoys reading a video game book, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on some of them. Check them out at the links below.

Managed to pick up the Majora's Mask 3DS XL without having to pay a scalper. Best Buy got a random shipment in Tulsa.
