I went to my local retro gaming shop, got all of this for $200 or so. 25 or so games. hilights are MGS Disk 1 for  both the PS1 an NGC Twin Snakes versions, $5 each, I have disk 2 for both and the cases already.



Love Donald Duck Goin Quackers, one of my childhood games on the PS1, but over here I only seen it on PS2 once

Good news. My soldering skills are good enough to convert a PAL Everdrive64 over to NTSC.

This is the new V3 by the way.  ;)

This is a before pic. Now to make a cart.

Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

What store did you get those games at?  The price labels are EXACTLY the same ones used at Retro Games Plus, a 3 store chain that I frequent here in Connecticut.  Same with the "50% off" on the games with no cover art.

It was Retro Games Plus.

Do you go to the ones in the south (Orange & Westport), or the one in Newington?  I live in Berlin, so I'm close to Newington (I actually work part time at the Gamestop in Newington).  I go to the Orange store once or twice a month because there's a better selection, and the display cabinet of rare not-for-sale games is something to look at.  Plus, several Game Exchange stores are near there too, so I can hit 3 or 4 stores on one trip.

I'm looking forward to the convention in Wallingford in October.  Finally a retro game gathering that's close by.

Do the games play well with the X1 controller?
You can't change the controller settings in Conker and I don't like the camera control. Maybe this is how original N64 was (I only played Conker Live and Reloaded before this), but it just ends up feeling clunkier than Live and Reloaded. Also, I don't like the background in some of the games. I have to mess with tv setting to get closer to full screen.

Happy to add this to the xbox collection

Happy birthday.

I dind't know that Simpsons Legos existed.  But after visinting the Lego Store at Mall of America about two years ago, I should have realized that there is a Lego set for everything now.

Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I had no interest in these remotes before my kids started to have interest into Mario Party 10. Now everybody has his controller and matching Amiibo   ;D



I also got this cheap Majora's Mask puzzle (18" x 24") in a BOX and not a bag! Perhaps I could put my Nintendo Club reward puzzle bag in the box if there is enough space left. The red price tag was suppose to cover the white one (1$ increase ?!) but since they didn't do their job properly, I got my dollar off :P

I got to the Westport store, the others are too far. I'm probably going to attended the Retro Game Con too.

It was 2 dollars, Also contains A Beatles reference

Most of the games I got was me just grabbing anything of interest off the shelf and piling it up on my friend. :P
