So it's been a month, but I got some random stuff today from a store around here.
Nintendo 3DS
--
Skylanders Trap Team - $3, all the contents of the box but without the box. They clearly wanted to get rid of some extra Skylanders games, and so they did this, which is awesome because I've been wanting to be able to play the 3DS Skylanders games for some time, but finding a 3DS Portal proved difficult, for less than full price... until now. So, for only a few bucks, I got a copy of the game (complete in its case), 3DS portal (with some batteries that are leaking in their separate package, so I won't be using those...), a poster of the Skylanders added for Trap Team, a manual sheet for the portal, and two Skylanders, neither of which I had before so that was a plus too, one trap master and one mini one. So yeah, pretty good deal here.
Also, a few months ago, I don't think I mentioned it because I didn't have a 3DS portal, I also have two other 3DS Skylanders games, the first two:
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure - cart in generic case, $1
Skylanders: Giants - card only, $1
So that's nice. The other games I got are:
Game Gear

Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II - $4, cart only - What I've seen of this in an emulator was not impressive even compared to the first one for GG (which I actually kind of like), but I'll give this one another chance... most of Sega's 8-bit racers like this are good. And trying it now, yeah, the game is kind of odd -- the play window is only half screen, with the upper half for a large map, while other GG racers have a larger play window... and it also has weird controls -- you automatically accelerate, and A and B change gears. There is no Automatic gears option. Huh. It could be good once you get used to it, though.
NES
--
Tiny Toon Adventures - $11, cart only - I have had the second NES Tiny Toons game for years, but where that game is a collection of varied game types, this one is a traditional platformer. Looks good though, as you expect from a Konami title.
Playstation
--
Black Dawn - $3, complete - This is a helicopter flight action game. Could be alright?
Playstation 2
--
Godai: Elemental Force - $3, complete - This is a third-person action-adventure game from 3DO. 3DO's stuff is very mixed in quality, but some are better than people give them credit for, so I want to give this one a chance.
Playstation 3
--
Atelier Shallie - $14, complete - This is the second game in the series that begins with Atelier Ayesha, the Atelier game I got a month or two ago. This is a lot cheaper than Gamestop charges for this game and the other one seems alright, so I got this even though I'm not far in that one.
