@James - Fall o' the Foot Clan is pretty fun. I used to have it but can't find it anymore. Also, Mega Man and Gargoyle's Quest should be games u play first. :)

Also, I haven't played it but...I'm guessing Gauntlet II is hard as *#@&

I bought a stack of Game Boy games today — carts only, no boxes, though they all have the little plastic cases. Quite a lot, so bear with me!

Mega Man
David Crane's The Rescue of Princess Blobette (related to A Boy and His Blob apparently, never heard of it)
Gargoyle's Quest
Dragon's Lair: The Legend
Solar Striker
TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan
Heavyweight Championship Boxing
Total Carnage
Tour de Thrash
Chase H.Q.
Golf
Gauntlet II
The Punisher
Nintendo World Cup
WWF Superstars
Battle Unit Zeoth
Blades of Steel
Kung Fu Master
Pinball Dreams
Bart Simpson's Escape from Camp Deadly
Bubble Bobble
Tetris
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
The Amazing Spider-Man
Maru's Mission
Kwirk
Fist of the North Star.

Many of these titles I don't recognise so if anyone can advise me on what to play first I'd be most grateful! Also, if any take your fancy, just give me a shout :)

Wow thats alot of games there James how much did you pay for all that if you dont mind me asking?

If you havent played TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan than I suggest you play that first.

Kwirk is a nice little puzzle maze type game if you are into those types of games I remember playing that game all the time on a trip to Chicago one summer.

Nintendo World Cup is a fun no rules type soccer game and belongs to the Kunio series if you are familiar with that series. Its similar to Super Dodge Ball but soccer.

Tetris that should be a duh.

Princess Blobette I believe thats the sequel to A Boy and his Blob.

As for the other I either dont remember them or I have never played them.

Very nice purchase indeed :p

My latest purchase was a semi-retro one :

Datel's Retro (Famicom-style) Controller (for Wii)
Untitled

It's buttons feel durable. It has been a long time since i had such small (nes & famicom-sized) controller in my hands. The only downside of a controller like this, is obviously, the lack of two analogue sticks that are needed for the N64 VC titles and compatible Wii-titles. Nevertheless, a great controller.

Went to my local Retro store today to look around nothing caught my eye but I did find out that they do have an Ebay page as well. I am not sure how to search by sellers but if you guys want you look for seller: 7734Graham on Ebay.

Not the most exciting purchase but when I can get NES and SNES games complete in box with manual for under $15.00 shipped I am pretty happy. Plus I am sucker for the early SNES games. I am definitely not the biggest shmup'er around but I think they are fun from time to time. It is just good ole' classic old-skool gaming fun. :D

What other games did Irem or Innovations in Recreational Electronic Media make besides the R-Type series and MetalStorm?

Actually, one of the Game Boy games was released in Europe, and the PSP game was released in North America.

Corrected, thanks for catching that. I have no idea how I missed the PSP version. It even had a scan of the North American box! :P

@WaveBoy
and @Ryno:
i love that sticker myself, the title screen is awesome too.

@oldgamesonly
I still have a ton of SNES and NES games I would like to get but someday I may want to get some Super Famicom games. Have you heard anything about modifying a North American SNES to play Super Famicom games?

id use a retron3 as it plays super famicom games without the modding and the games are clear...
i wont break my tabs on my mini snes
or i can use a real super famicom
but yeah that method works
its also important to note if you are getting into imports you obviously need to know which games you can play to avoid the language barrier unless you can read Japanese. :)

Its weird they are just plastic tabs on the SNES but I would feel bad about cutting them so I may look into a retron to play Super Famicom games if I exhaust the library of SNES games I want to play. I took Japanese in high school so I can at least read the text, may not know what it means though! haha...

I straight up axed it. I don't know, I would like to have a daily discussion/ QoTD thread retro related but I dont think the retro forum on this site is to popular and it wouldn't be very lively.
