As my "buy way more old games than you probably should" thing continues, today I only spent $17, but got great stuff... SNES Yoshi's Island ($6), for one, but finally the store that got a Sega CD a few weeks ago got another Genesis 1, this one with a working power supply... so I got a Sega CD. :) The Genesis 1 it came with seems to be broken, but oh well... since I only have one Genesis 1 power supply I can't use them together anyway... (running it with my Genesis 2 I got a few months back). Price (SCD, Genesis, power supply, RFU)? $5... untested, but fortunately the thing that I wanted, the Sega CD, works fine. :) Had to clean the connector, but now it works, battery RAM included... (I can tell because it's full -- three Lunar saves are filling it up. Sadly no Lunar game, though... :()
Hmm, Sega CD games... not many available around here. I've only seen Battlecorps, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Loadstar, Sewer Shark, Star Wars: Rebel Assualt (*tries to tell self:* I already have two copies of the better PC version... I already have two copies of the better PC version...), and Third World War. Since getting all of them would cost about $23, I might end up with all six (though I might be able to resist Sewer Shark, given its quite poor reputation)... we'll see.
... I know I've made previous threads like this, but still... (though it is true that as the summer progressed I greatly slowed down my game buying -- just didn't have enough money... bought a lot of stuff the first month, but quite less since then. Still, I got stuff like Illusion of Gaia ($10, haven't started it yet), Mario Paint with mouse and mousepad (also $10 - more for the novelty of the thing...)... a $5 copy of Donkey Kong Country III... Genesis games like Ranger-X and (personal favorite of mine) Outrun 2019... I just got a Genesis in the beginning of t summer yest I have about 35 games... Dynamite Headdy, Lightening Force, Thunder Force II, Sonics 1, 2, and Knuckles, Rocket Knight Adventures, Contra: Hard Corps...Hardball III (my favorite baseball series...)...
Oh yeah, and Turrican for Gameboy. :) (The Turrican series is awesome, I was really happy to find this one, despite the obvious problems that come from porting a PC(Amiga, Commodore 64, etc, not DOS or Mac)/Genesis game to the Gameboy... you have five weapons, for instance, which are a bit confusing to access, and the massive levels lead to tiny sprites (to try to fit everything on the screen)... oh well, fun anyway.)... Metroid: Zero Mission for GBA too. Plenty of others too, everything except what I got today is on my IGN list. (I like lists, so I enjoy keeping it up to date... it's so much simpler than spreadsheets or pieces of paper and the back pages of notebooks and stuff, like I used to do! :D)
