January 2018 hauls - New stuff of New Year

I saw a video that shows where in the originals, when you land, you stick it, end of story. In the new ones, when you land, it's possible to slide a little, which can make you fall off ledges.

Do you think people who never played the originals would enjoy the Crash Bandicoot remake? I was thinking about picking it up too to try it out, but if it's too off to be enjoyable I may avoid it.

My suggestion is to buy the originals.

Thank you so much!

Paid $110 for Radiant Silvergun.  Seller listed it for $120 initially.  I figured it would sell quick, but it was still there the next day lowered to $110 so I jumped on it.  Disc, manual & rear insert are all mint - no spine card though.

I'd love to get Street Fighter Zero 3, but that's just way too expensive.  I do have a burned CD-R so I at least I can play it.

Oh nice deal!

Now a few pick ups.

Limited Rung Games gets


2 more SH games toward my goal.

A PS1 with the game is only $50, that's much less than I thought. Thanks I'll have to try it when I get the chance!

If you are getting a console and all 3 games for $50, that's actually a pretty good deal, because the original 3 Crash games can sometimes be pricey.  I would have suggested starting with one game and getting the others if you like them, but that's a pretty good price.

I would star with 1 and move onto the others if you like it.  Crash 2 was a major improvement over the original, but it didn't make the original obsolete like many PS1 sequels did.  I still consider the original to be playable.  I actually never finished 3, but I still want to some day. 

It's funny.  I can't think of any game series on the PS1 where I was able to enjoy 3 games.  Tons of games with a great part 1 and 2, but I could never get into part 3.

Some examples:
  Crash Bandicoot
  Tomb Raider
  Resident Evil
  Twisted Metal
  Ace Combat

I’ve had pretty good luck with just throwing some dryer sheets in a box along with whatever smells like smoke and letting it sit for a week or so.

I had no idea that Zero 3 was worth that much! I have a loose copy that I got in a bundle with a Japanese Saturn and some other games for like $60.

SF Zero 3 was a very late release in Japan.  I believe it came out months AFTER the Dreamcast version, but the Saturn port is widely considered to be superior.

Continuing on my quest to collect the remaining Shmups I need for my Genesis collection. Happy to knock this one off the list. Fantastic game!

Nice pick up on Elemental Master.  That game has really went up in price.
