Not to mention the recent addition of SA-1 compatibility, which is actually of far greater use than FX.  There are a lot of good SA-1 titles, versus the paltry 2-3 good FX titles.

Oh they did crack that too, nice.
So no chips left?

On side note:
I so would like the NT NES, but... 450 is too steep.
Hopefully they do plastic version for cheaper someday.

There are still a few, but honestly, the remaining ones won't matter to 99.9999% of gamers.

^^^ what he said.

CX4 (Megaman X2 & X3) would be nice.  Other than that, I think that the really important stuff is covered now that we have SA1.

Now that i am married and don't have to save for a wedding anymore I went a tad nuts with buying games.  I will post a huge pic dump later this week.

I could have sworn that CX4 was already covered years ago, but I might be wrong.  I'm not a Mega Man person, so I never tried either game in my SD2SNES.

I thought we were only missing the following chips:

S-DD1
  Star Ocean
  Street Frighter Alpha 2

SPC7110
  Far East of Eden Zero
  Momotaro Dentetsu Happy
  Super Power League 4

ST011
  Hayazashi Nidan Morita Shogi

ST018
  Hayazashi Nidan Morita Shogi 2

Yeah, we've had CX4 for awhile now. Apart from accuracy improvements to the existing support, S-DD1 will be the big one now, I think.

Ah, my mistake then.

Finds from some labor day sales over the weekend. The yellow Famicom game is a bootleg / hack called The Dragon which uses Mortal Kombat sprites. The other 2 are King Kong 2 and Jackie Chan. Drakenguard was a upgrade for my copy and it ended up having a extra disc inside so now I got 3 copies of it lol. All the Sega games are CIB and Starflight has the map too. Found some uncommon portable games for good prices too including Fastest Lap.

[Megatron]

I have been after these for a while.  But, honestly, since I missed their initial print run there was no way I was going to pay the asking price for these, at least Archive I





I had some store credit, so these basically cost about $20 at my local game store.  Not bad, considering that the first book goes for over $100 these days.  But then I find out this was apparently a 2-pack, that is even less common.  Lucky me.  I almost feel bad for reading them...almost.

Cool.
Must check later.
Site was down or buzy when I tried.

Only found out about that Polymega thing the other day. Seems interesting. Too bad literally EVERYONE feels the same way.

GameStop is doing a 3 for $25 on games $14.99 and under.  With the 20% rewards, that comes out to under $7 per game.

Something cool from Brazil came in the mail today! This is a re-release of the fabled 32x version of Surgical Strike that was only released in Brazil by Tec Toys! I'm still technically one game down from finishing my 32x set but I figured I'd add this one too :p Here is some more info about the history and this release from John Hancock who helped with this re-release:
