The New "Games I Bought" Thread -- Copied For Your Enjoyment

[A Black Falcon]

What, haven't heard of it? :)

I don't have it yet, but I will in not too long I'm sure...

Today though.

Genesis
--
Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle - $6, complete
Ghouls & Ghosts - $8, complete
Shining Force II - $7, cart and box (no manual)

Quite a good deal on Shining Force II there... decently nice price for Ghouls & Ghosts too, particularly complete. And Alex Kidd isn't too expensive online, cart only, but around here this is only about the second cart of that game I've seen in years... it's not common.

I started playing Ghouls & Ghosts, it does one important thing differently from its SNES sequel Super Ghouls & Ghosts... infinite continues, in Practice mode at least! This option makes such a huge difference in the game, it goes from simply impossible, as the SNES game is, to frustrating and very hard (though not as hard as the SNES game, I think, G&G just isn't quite as hard as SG&G, and it's shorter) but possible. Awesome. :)

Also, Genesis Ghouls & Ghosts has an absolutely awesome cover... the awesome packaging helped sell me on it, actually, despite my being worried that I'd find it as unfunly too hard as SG&G is. Well, I'm happy I got it. Hard but worth playing. :) (Mediocre graphics and sound though, but oh well, it is a quite early Genesis game. For the time it looks good enough.)


Seriously, great boxart. :)
