Finally got around to getting Legend of Zelda: Dink's Awakening for the Galactic Gizmo GameBoy, but not the DX version. Who needs color anyways(I do! hehe, but i wasn't willing to pay the extra CosmoCash.) plus that silly & stupid color dungeon just makes the game 10x easier once you reach that smoking hot 8-bit Fairy and you receive either Link's mondo super sizzling dragon Defense, or his most rightous gladiator-fied wielding Swordicus.

Either way, the game basically makes you invincible like Mario gulping down a StarMan soda shake. :p

And....A 1988 California Raisen! WoAoAoAoAoA!!! B-) Oh man, these little toys bring back a lot of memories! Kind of annoys the hell out of me that i got rid of all of my old toys from when i was kid. All of my TMNT, Ghostbusters, He-man, Bucky 'O Hare, GIJOE's ect ect have been turned into Toy-goop and sent off to planet Gorlax....I don't know what that is, but I'll never see those tiny bites of epic figurine nostalgia ever again. Kind of makes me wish my parents would of just taken them and locked them up in storage. :p

Untitled

But meh, i can just buy them on eBay, which i've been doing as of late. :p Those He-Man figurines aren't cheap I'll tell you that. eek! And here's a little California Raisen Breakfast cereal raisin-Retro commercial goodness for ya! Damn I love Claymation...Especially when Pee Wee opens up his fridge in Peewee's playhouse haha.. :D

Holy Bucky 'O hare & Captain Crunch crap! I seriously need to get that TMNT Bluray combo pack faster than a Loony green Gumby on roller skates! The Pizza discs are totaly awesome, plus the radical beanie is a must. :D And you have me beat for now Rybotron with your massive 59" 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV and your Lion King birdies flying straight out of your TV.lol I'll have to settle for a standard 42" plasma for now, but before the Wii U hits i'm going all out like the Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. B-)

and Bloodlines will eventually be thee' reason for when i get around to getting a Genesis. I just haven't mustered up the Super Sonic Mega courage to do so yet. I'd personally rather go for an Atar 2600 before i hit up the Mega Drive in FunkO Mega Blast Processing land. B-)

I just can't enough of the Lion King birdies, I tell you. :p It makes me feel like Little Ryno The Dream Master of the Universe. I fear that once the Teeange Mutant Ninja Wave get's a 2600 he will get sucked into Atari Dimension like Bastian from The Neverending Story. Just make sure you get the "wood veneer" version though, its pure class. Oh, and hopefully you have a small head because the TMNT beanie wasn't made for adult size head's with a mullet. :P

I know that Warpified and Dimension X-like Atari feeling all to well haha, sorta. :p And The Never Ending story you say? One of my all time favorite flicks growing up, i think everybody that was 5-7 years old during the time had a crush on the Princess. :p It was such an atmospheric and beautiful movie no doubt. And yup, it's the Wood-Atari all the way....I woodn't haven't it any other way. :p And sucks about the beanie, my mullet would tear through that thing(if i had one, then again, my hair is kind of long. But it's not buisness in the front and party in the back.lol :p

Either way i guess the beanie was designed for turtle tots. lol

Well guess what guys? My PS2 is crapping out on me. :(
I only got it a year, maybe a few months, after launch and it's already failing me! I tried playing Twisted Metal 2 on it and it would only play the songs. There was no way I could get it to work. Google didn't help, but when I went back to the store they let me try it on their ps3 and it worked fine. The guy said it may be my PS2. Really sucks since I was so excited to play the game. I just ended up returning it since I won't bother to get my ps2 fixed and traded the game for...
R-type lll.
I'm still saying it's the disc's fault not my system though since my copy of Digimon World 3 doesn't work on my ps2 but it does on my cousin's ps3. Weird and sad turn of events for me. Anyways I tried Super R-type and it's really fun. I've only done easy mode though.

We talkin' cartridges or downloads? On the downloads front, my latest purchase was Bionic Commando from the eShop. Cartridgewise, I think the last two I bought were TMNT Tournament Fighters and...drumroll please...Uniracers! I loved playing that game when my sister let me. She was very protective of her high scores...

My next purchase will likely be a SNES console. Sadly, I think the one we've had for, well, my entire life is finally giving out. If I can't get it repaired, I'll get a new one. Makes me kinda sad though.

I think I might try to terminate my account. I'm not cut out for posting on forums lol

Anyways, Super Double D was another SNES title that completely escaped me....How does it rank in comparison to DD and DDII?

i dunno... havent played it yet, only got it this morning and ive got a huge backlog of games i should at least boot up once.
Im usually not that keen on fighter games but you buy what you find and not necessarily what you want at a fleamarket :)

Don't forget to scrub off the Flea market poop

no worries! i always clean all my finds, inside and out, before they are placed in my vaults.

Those two carts were found together?
You could have a compatibility problem. TMNT is Japanese and Super Double Dragon is a PAL cart. :(

http://www.ebay.com/itm/260930109068?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT...

By the way, I saw someone mention Castlevania: Dracula X going for $400 or something. I own a mint/near mint complete copy (North American version). Does that mean I get $400? [Edit: Actually, I just checked the box, and it has some wear on the right edge. So it's not mint. I guess it's very good/good. Manual and cart are near mint though!]

Maybe the PAL version (Vampire's Kiss)? I hear that one's significantly rarer than either of the NTSC versions.

I just order Kunio Collection 1 (complete?) for GBA for $20 and shipping, along with some other games.
I know it probably looks crappy compared to the FC originals, but since this is the one with Street Basket on it, probably can't complain given the price difference. :)

I remember hearing it was pretty bad, so I never picked it up. I'll have to see if I can grab it someday.

Thanks for the offer, but I wasn't looking to sell it. I was just joking around because I can't believe how much it's worth. I paid like $40 for it back in 2001 or so, and I thought that was a lot! I guess it's the most valuable game in my collection though.
