Nice Purchase! That's some epic Terminator inspired BoxArt there, plus you got it Sealed. Those are always exciting retro purchases...If you open them up that is hehe. The nostalgic 'back in fluerescent Muppet Land time' kick to the shell balls must of been 80'stastic. I definitly got that feeling when i opened up T & C Surf Design. It was crazy seeing the T & C Surf cart tightly sealed in a baggy, with the brand spankin new inserts incuding an NES poster with everything being in Mega- Mint condition. Anyways! *Power Blade[/strong] does look awesome indeed, I'll make sure i add that to the list!

But I'll admit, the BoxArt knowing me would of thrown me off as a kid, as it does now haha. It's like they hired and drew a porn star to play the Terminator. Also, Stage 3 has a phenomenal track. It sounds almost fitting when descending into a Diamond filled bright lit cave when 0:32 kicks in. At least that's what springs to my bogus master mind whenever it kicks into game-gear.

Now if you'll excuse the Wavemyster, I must jam out to this most Glorious & radical retro track below while teleporting to Video Land, where Kevin, Mega, Simon B and Pit and I will then blast downt o Bubble man beach and catch some Aquatic 8-bit Laser Waves!

N64 Waialae Country Club True Golf Classics (Euro PAL CIB) and four excellent Gameboy games: Kirby's Dream Land 2, Mega Man - Dr. Wily's Revenge, Super RC Pro AM and Pocket Bomberman

NICE! dang, happy meals were cool then. i wish they still did video game stuff but oh well. Im too big for happy meals anyways. Anyways my latest retro purchse was Alladin SNES and mario allstars SNES. I got them at the swapmeet for. Alladin was $5 and allstars was originally $30 but i bargained it for $23. hee hee. lucky me

Waver,

Dude, if you are going to move south come to the West Coast! That is where Tasuki and myself reside. It will be easier to meet up when that tubular time transporter of yours is ready to send us on that blast to the past! As for the Canadian McDonalds fries I thought they were good but preferred the ones in the States. But I have had some sucky fries here though too! But you should definitely grab a lil’ Mcd’s, I grab some from time to time and I still manage to have the bod that gets confused with Conan the Barbarian.

So I will admit that I would like a 3DS but… I know I won’t play it that much. I don’t know how all these fanatics around here play so many games. So yeah, if I have a choice to spend some of my free time playing a video game I am going to choose to do it on a tube, whether it will be retro or modern. I made the conscious decision to go with the Wii U over the 3DS but that doesn’t mean I still don’t get tempted to have both though! But when I get all Inpsector Gadget analytical I know its best that I draw in line in the Sands of Time. Though I won’t be a big multi-current console gamer anymore I will still keep my PS3 if for no other reason than the Mega Man Anniversary Collection and Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection (may not get around to collecting Genesis games for awhile) which look really good on the big screen though not Chevy Chase classic like a CRT. Plus I don’t have a prob with using it as a 3D Blu-ray player. Man, watching those birdies still doesn’t get old! Haha… When is friggin’ 3D Avatar coming to be available to everybody anyway?

I love how popping in a NES, SNES, or Genesis gets right to the action. Some rad title screen pops with some sweet tune up and you select either “Start” or “Continue” and your off like Maverick through the danger zone! I can barbeque a steak within the amount of time it takes to load up the garbage before Uncharted 3’s title screen. As for Metroidvania’s I have only played Circle of the Moon which the music was superb and the game was fun but I’m with you about classic Castlevania. Experience points for Castlevania, come on, I am a vampire killer and I don’t need to get stronger to take on Dracula and his crew. I got the skillz, bring the test. Like you said, I like my Metroidvania served with Samus, Castlevania is its own course. Rebirth you say? Well I say, I may but another day. I’m not big into new-retro games. I feel why not just play a real retro? But it is Castlevania, so it is worth consideration. The flame whip had different versions throughout the Castlevania series though it is most dondly remembered in Simon’s Quest. Richter in Rondo of Blood and Dracula X can have a flame whip with no sub weapon and 25 hearts.

To bad about your Toxic Crusader Blob Light. Still an awesome piece of for your retro collection. I just play GameBoy games on my GBA though I would love to have an original Vampire battery sucking GameBoy complete with the box and all original accessories though!

Do definitely get Power Blade someday. I love the box, and I love the few minutes that I have spent with trying it out so far. Opening a new NES game is like an Out of this World experience. Seriously, it like transport tubes you back to the Summer of ’89. Knowing that a game has been sealed for 20 + years and just waiting for you is truly an indescribable A Link to the Past experience.

Well, the Toxic Crusaders called again and looks like they need a driver. Those Radiation Rangers are at it again!

Dudes & dudettes, Boils & Ghouls, Babes & Waves, make way for some more TMNT retro-radical Action Figure Goomba Goodness.

Sewer Surfin' Michaelangelo in the bright beachy funky flesh! I never had this one growing up(Had Sewer Swimming Don instead) but i absolutely dig the bright & vivid orange crab accessory, Mikey's colorful funky Sewer Surfin board and those weird random mini Sharks busting out of his shoulder and elbow.lol They just don't make figurines like this anymore It screams Color and is so TMNT- Psychadelic. Also, the coolest thing about this Surftastic purchase is that it's coming straight from California Redando Beach. seems like little Mikey was catching some real waves!

Slash.Again! I just had to get the 'Fluerescent purple' belt version, which I should of went with in the beginning instead of Slimer-scoring the ho-hum Boring & Black belt version. Now I've got two. But you know what they say, 2 Slash's are better than one!

And last but 'probably' least!

A Brand new Sealed copy of The Jungle Book on VHS! lol
Another Disney favorite of mine growing up. I ended up winning this on VHS back in my yogi the bear youngster days at my local Video Store by winning a kids Jungle Book Art Contest where you basicaly colored in a black & white photo of the Jungle Book Cover Art(they did it with many new Disney VHS releases and other cartoon/animated films) dropped it off at the video store where they then posted it up on a big wall with all of the other entries from the mullet rockin kiddies. I guarantee some of them cheated and had their parents to do the coloring for them haha. Little cheats! Anyways, i have my original Jungle Book case(In somewhat decent condition) but the actual VHS tape is missing. Which is why i got this in the first place as a replacement hehe.

i've got a copy of 'earthbound' on the 'trading games' thread. just a heads up for retro lovers. (please don't smack me, tbd!)

latest retro purchases: Sega Master System Shinobi, Dragon Crystal (all CIB) Sega Megadrive F-1 (no manual) Dreamcast Trick Style, NFL Blitz 2000, Red Dog, Star Wars - Ep. 1 Jedi Power Battles (all CIB) Sega Saturn Worldwide Soccer 97 (CIB)

Well Jungle Jump for Joy Waloo, The Jungle Book is one my favorites! That would be awesome if they gave it that magical Lion King 3D touch! Also nice purchase with Sewer Surfin' sea life wearing Michelangelo! Such a great action figure if you ask me. Definitely worthy of the Toy Hall of Fame. Looks like you will be going with your Gutsman gut from now on with these all-important retro purchases? Spend the cash on getting the best classic video games and toys because as they say and Mork and Mindy would agree, "they sure don't make 'em like that anymore!" Na-nu Na-nu!

I imported a CIB copy of Solomon for GBC. If I'm buying retro, gonna buy maximum retro and not playing the American version that had the Monster Rancher franchise slapped on.
I also ordered with it a Kirby Kira Kira Kids (GB) cart (aka Star Stackers, really getting it for a better deal on shipping) and somewhat bad Famicom game called Plasma Ball. (Jaleco, they had good ideas that ended up flawed. This game being some sort of dodgeball/robo-death-battle thing. Would be decent if I didn't feel like I was playing against the Terminator. Very aggressive. It's a struggle just to get a hand (or whatever) on the ball, let alone keep it long enough to be able to line up a shot on him. Well, that one will hit the enemy without it blocking and grabbing it. And maybe if it was possible to reduce or remove characters' special moves, which allow you to directly attack the enemy, kinda removing some of the point.)

@KingMike
i got love for Jaleco, say do you like Shatterhand? i just beat it a few weeks ago. its a great game, im probably going to start Totally Rad this weekend.

Got Super Mario RPG for the VC. Never have actually beat it before, but i plan to this time around. Just got the third star and really enjoying it! Not even much of an RPG fan, usually, except for Paper Mario games.

Scored me a copy of this rare NES beast complete with poster. I remember seeing this in Nintendo Power back in the day and saving up for it when I was a kid. Silly me though I sold it. I recommend anyone who has never played this to give it a try. It has this whole reverse gravity mechanic that makes this NES game unique.

just ordered a repro game of Holy Diver, and finally all the bugs are fixed!, before all the carts were faulty in certain parts of the game. im the jerk responsible for a few sites taking that game off the order list, but in a good way. ive got in touch with the dudes again, and i can confirm the games are fixed 100%, and its time to rock and roll as Dio!
plays like Castlevania looks like Castlevania.

Mother 1+2 for the gba, And EarthBound

nice...are you hip to this Mother 3 guide?
http://www.fangamer.net/products/m3-handbook
its freakin great

i also just bought The NeverEnding Story for my girlfriends little niece, she has to see this movie, shes only 5, what 5 year old should be deprived of a movie like this?

No kidding! The same goes for The Labyrinth.
I'm sure many of us kids had a big giant crush on the Princess in The Never Ending Story back in the day. They just don't make movies like this anymore.
Also the sequal was complete garbage....It felt like a high budget episode of the mighty morphin power rangers. lol

last weekend I bout super Mario bros/duck hunt and super sprint for NES at sound goes round
