Proof that good deals still exist...although they are definitely few and far between these days. Saw this posted for a whopping $10. I was able to grab it within minutes of its posting, otherwise somebody else would be posting on a forum about it. And yes, it is complete. It's just enclosed in a jewel case with a black insert tray. |

A few decent TG-16 games traded in at Retro Games Plus. Paid $93 for the 3 - not an amazing deal by any means but all are in very good condition (the Raiden manual is nearly flawless), and the cases are excellent with sleeves included. I'm especially fond of the TG-16 port of Raiden. I owned it back when I was a kid, and I think it's the best non-CD home version (Raiden Project for PS1 is arcade perfect). Also found Area 51, Road Rash CIB & Shadow Dancer CIB - paid $60 total for the 3. |

Speaking of Bust-A-Groove (kinda), we got that name in the US because the Japanese name, Bust-A-Move, was the name given to the American versions of Puzzle Bobble, the Bubble Bobble puzzle spinoffs. My question is this- Does anyone know why the name Bust-A-Move was abandoned for the American Arcade Archives releases? The dinosaur puzzle game will ALWAYS be Bust-A-Move to me. I'll never call it Puzzle Bobble. |

I imagine that it’s for similar reasons to almost all of the rerelease stuff from Japan. I.e. everyone who’s interested in those games is surely familiar with the original, Japanese names, and in most instances I think we tend to prefer the original names. That’s my best guess/assumption. |
