A Witch's Tale wasn't a cheapy for me, if you got a good price on it kudos to you!


Also, Valkyrie is one of the Namco girls, and she has/had her own webcomic for a bit:

When I first played Trauma Center 1 I actually  froze and chocked lol. It was so intense.  I heard that the sequel eases some of the difficulty.  The first one gives you a really quick simple tutorial and then your off.  This why I am not surgeon lol

I have a large DS collection and I pretty much only pay $5 or less for all of my games.

.   Why would you pay a lot for that game(witch's tale)? It wasn't rated well at all.

My DS collection has always been lack luster...mostly because it is hard to find games I want in the wild and even more in box...not that there is ANY lack of great DS games.  And a few ports like chrono trigger

I have paid more than $5 for my games, but I do normally find what I want in the $5-$15 range.  My DS game library grew pretty quickly over the past two years, as it has been a real buyers market.

I am a big fan of NIS America, so I try to grab all their games.  I'd missed this one and expected it to drop in price but it never did

I use to buy comics when I was a kid so when I see one I don't have from a series I use to read i pick it up

Maybe not but I always think of the cartoon when ever I imagine the voice of many of these classic characters.

I love the old Marvel Transformers comics!

Here is my favorite issue: 

/IyoP15s.jpg

[xcrement5x]

I got several Playstation One titles from my local thrift the other day:



Panzer Front
Soviet Strike
Big Stike Bowling
Tetris Plus (YEAH!)
Street Raquetball (WTF)
Rage Race

and two 3rd-party PS1 memory cards.

It always makes me sad to look through saves on memory cards and see what games I might have missed at the thrift.  Besides the games shown, there were also saves for Digimon World 3, Soul Blade and a couple other gems on there

[Medic_wheat]

I always find it interesting to find saves as well

The PS2 IMO had the most interesting save files to date. It wasnt just text or anything it was often an icon or mini modle ofa character performing funny actions that denotes your PS2 save .

Some times of my cartridge games I like to leave one save file from the previous owner as a memory of who ownd it last before me.

Here is my favorite issue: 

/IyoP15s.jpg

I loved reading those too.  I'd love to buy a cd/dvd that contains all the old comic books so you could read them.  Do you know if anything like that is available?  It would take me forever to track down all those old comics.  I'm not a collector, I just want to read them again.

They reprinted them in a hard bound book multi vol edition. I want to say it was IDW that did it when they bought the rights from Marvel.

They also reprinted the G.I. joe ones as well

A little thrifting on the way home from vacation today.
Both copies of shadow man had that little map still with it.  All games are virtually pristine except for the cases themselves.  I already had a longbox toshinden, but had to rescue it from the dirty pile of cd's and movies for $5.

I left a $2 perfect copy of DK Country behind out of principle. LOL SNES.

I loved to play shadow man on the N64. Never played the dreamcast verson but I am sure it is a much better port.  Awe man now I wanna play it.

No problem. Looks like there are six volumes so far with a seventh volume you can pre order wichita would bring the number of issues on TPB to 80 if I remember correctly. Sadly I don't really remember how many issues the original Transformers has.  I want to say similarly to G.I. joe they had around 100? 


Ehhhh some one can wiki this I am sure.

Thats a baller MSX!  Turbo R!

[Tatsujin]

you can do baller games with that ^^

[xcrement5x]

Very nice Ope! 

Here are my recent goodies:



Went by the thrift yesterday, and picked up a couple small things.  A random PS2 type power cord, OEM PS AV Cable, and a PS2 Memory Card. 

Browsing CDs I saw and had to pick up copies of Use Your Illusion I & II from Guns N Roses when I saw them cheap.  The drive for nostalgia was so great that I've been rocking out in my car ever since.

Also finally got my BRAND NEW copy of Infinite Space for the DS.  It's an EU copy but is totally playable in English, and now I don't have to pay and arm and leg for a US copy.  A nod to Nulltard for constantly talking about how good this game is, and another to zborgerd for pointing out the EU copies for sale.

[MrFlutterPie]

^ Nice score on Infinite Space

That game rocks!  I picked up a U.S copy for $15 CIB locally a few months ago. 

I like the ship battles the best.

[munchiaz]

^ i need to get one of those EU copies

[Medic_wheat]

Here is hoping the WiiU gets a DS/3DS attachment to play these games on the tv.


With the tablet it just seems to make perfect seanse.

[BlueBMW]

Kind of an oddball here...

In from a trade.  Flying Dragon is mildly entertaining which is way more than I can say for the other two games...  Kind of like a cross between a SNES and Genesis but maybe one generation late to the game.  Oh who am I kidding, it sucks plain and simple but whatever.

This is one of those things I had never heard about until a few years ago.

I don't know if it had any shoot em ups? Probably not...

[BlueBMW]

It had 12 games.  None of which are shooters if I recall right.

So here is a little chestnut.

I got a gift card for $100 for my birthday last month to use on Amazon.

I attempted recently to use said gift card for the $150 used copy of Coryoon.

I get a reply a day later saying out of stock and that my order waas canceled.


Ok no biggie. I order the $170 from lucky star

A fay later same thing haplenes. I ask that they replace with the OTHER posting they have thats $12 dollars more

That listing gets removed and no dice

I then think okay 3rd times tge charme. And I order the $186 listing

Well today that too gets canceled as they do not have it in stock

WTF japan amazon sellers?!?!?!

I dont even want to teyr

I think what happens is they list it in several spots concurrently. Thus maximizing exposure. Since Amazon has no penalty for the seller, either they sold it already on eBay/whatever for more, or think they can get more since the listing went up. Sucks man.

That's damn cool!  I always wanted to try one of these bad boys.

Isn't it quite difficult to get all of the games?  Any two player games / is it possible to get a second controller without a system?  Is there an emulator for this thing?

I've never really seen many games for sale.  Apparently a few of them are ridiculously expensive.  I have occasionally seen extra controllers but again not often.  I do not know which games support two players though it does have two controller ports.  I've not looked for an emulator but my first guess would be no since its so obscure and really not that good.
