@jaws 51 - are you going to replace the battery?

Sonic Gems Collection. Got it last week. Now I won't have to worry about not being able to play Sonic R on the PC ( I upgraded to Windows 7, but the game is for XP and is devoid of the voice-overs).

After much hesitation I finally gave in and got Super Monkey Ball 2.

i finally got my Trolls in Crazyland for nes pal b, and a brand new Cocoron Famicom game boxed

Wipeout 64.

I forgot to add SEGA Classics Collection here for the PS2 that has the best version of the original Fantasy Zone.

dunno if you consider this retro because it was fan made however im waiting for this in the mail. he shall be hung to the wall with my EB shrine...

Dragon Warrior VII - PSone.

@Starlight re: Megadrive Outrun, well, you cant 'drift' like in the arcade or on the Saturn due to the lack of analogue control (though as in the arcade, specific corners will automatically cause you to skid more than others).

It's a slightly simpler game as a result but still fun with a number of difficulty levels, decent music, well draw sprites and runs pretty smooth overall (in 60Hz at least). Also replicates the Japanese arcade version in the layout and ordering of courses, so no option to play the US / EU arrangement.

I recently picked up a number of Turbografx games, including Space Harrier, Ys book I & II, Ninja Spirit, Side Arms, and Buster Bros.

Good on ya brabbing Ys, Saves.

So, where do I post about my latest DS purchase? Is that now regarded as retro or is there a dedicated thread?

Thanks buddy! Very helpful

Are they really stopping DS games cause isnt the 3DS backwards compatible?

As far as I'm aware they'll continue to support the DS until the 3DS is in full swing.

just bought TMNT 1-2-3 for NES Nintendo. Ran through TMNT 1, looking forward to 2 and never played 3. Good times with the NES Nintendo.

Just got a brand new Player's Choice copy of Mario Kart Super Circuit for GBA (gotta love Amazon.com). Love it, but it's taking some gettin' used to. Seems to play more like Super Mario Kart than more recent Mario Karts. Interesting way of unlocking bonus tracks (the tracks from Super Mario Kart). Apparently have to get first place on all cups in one class, then go back, play a cup and get collect 100 coins. It was the one Mario Kart I didn't have, so feel I've completed a collection now (at least until Mario Kart 3DS is out ).

Cool. Thanks for the output...I actually perfer the Japanese layout as it doesn't have those boards in the middle of the road at the beginning. D:

got another new Cocoron Famicom game.
