Topic: Your latest retro purchase

I got Mercs and NFL Football '94 Starring Joe Montana for the Genesis at a Play-n-Trade... Now I need to buy a Genesis.

Just got Alisia Dragoon and Traysia, which ends me little sega spending spree.

The biggest problem I had with Mercs on Genesis is that they took out the two player co-op mode.

I think the main reason they didnt make a He-Man game for the NES is because He-man was pretty much over with by the time the NES came out. The original He-man ran from September 1983 to December 1985 for two seasons only. The NES was just only two months old in NA when He-man was done. By the time the NES became really popular He-man was gone for a few years and they were on to newer cartoons like TMNT for example. Of course I could be wrong this is just my thoughts on the subject.

Got Banjo Kazooie on Saturday.

On a related note, here's my latest retro purchase

Retro-wise... Does Tactics Ogre for the PSP count?

Just got Ys: The Ark of Napishtim for the PS2. I hear it's way better than the PSP version, so I hope it's worth all the bother to track down.

I wouldn't count it, but still, Tactics Ogre is a fantastic choice of purchase.

Hmmmm... Oh yeah! ^-^ I got a super game boy. B)

my gamestop started selling classic games well just N64 and ps1 so i picked up some 64 games
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
hey you pikachu(its a retarded game but its a fun game i like to cuss at the pikachu xD)
mario kart 64
banjo tooie
conker bad fur day(like one of the best games i played on th 64 in my opinion)
and diddy kong racing (much better then the DS version in my opinion)

Wow, seems a lot of peope's Gamestops are already selling the retro games. I should go check if mine has any yet. Might find something good. Doubt it.

How much did all that come to? Because a lot of those are heavily sought after games, especially Goemon...

Didn't stop them from making a THREE STOOGES game.
And Fester's Quest (since it was made two years before the movie) and The Lone Ranger come to mind as two other NES games based on significantly older properties.
And let's not forget the NES is the only console with TWO Tom Sawyer games. (well, one of them Famicom, close enough)

Just got Donkey Konga 1 & 2 with bongos for $20, Taiko Drum Master for $2, and Castle of Illusions (wanted World of Illusions, but I guess this'll do) for $15 today at a retro shop.

Bought World of Ilusions (Genesis) for $9 on eBay. Also got Evil Zone (PSOne), King of Fighters EX2 (Gameboy Advance) and Robopon 2 Ring Version (Gameboy Advance) for $23 total.

Isn't Evil Zone kind of expensive now? (pretty sure it's the game I'm thinking of. A fighting game with amazingly stupid voiced dialogue?)

I ordered a Shadow of the Ninja cart for $12 shipped from ebay.
From Japan, I ordered a loose Final Mission for the Famicom (the more punishing version of the already hard S.C.A.T.), since there's no way I'm going to afford the US version now. Along with King Colossus (CIB) and Mega Panel (loose) for the JP Mega Drive (probably shouldn't have admitted to the last one). ... and ... a new Genesis 6-Pak. Crazy I'd get a better price on a US game from a Japanese seller than a US seller, but okay.

I don't think so. I only bought it for $10, and it goes for about $20 after shipping on Amazon.

Regarding Shadow of the Ninja, I think it is pretty fun. The real challenge in this one as opposed to Ninja Gaiden 1 & 2 is that you only have 5 continues (which are actually lives). I would love to try out the co-op with someone sometime. Overall it's a simplistic game but quite a challenge due to the limited lives. The music is great and they graphics are just alright. Gameplay is pretty tight though and playing as a Ninja is always fun. at least for me. I would say download if you are looking to test your Ninja skills. If you don't download it it will not be a big loss, though having a physical complete copy i$ nice.

I have Shinobi III on the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for the PS3 and I have tried it out a little bit but to be honest I wasn't a big fan of it and I don't think I'm a real fan of Genesis games in general either. To me, there just seems to be some quality missing form them. I don't know, maybe it's just the 12 year old kid that loved the SNES still in me. Anyway, I didn't like the throwing ninja stars and use your sword when up close Joe Musashi style. Maybe I just had to give it more time. I suspect I will give it another chance sometime, but eh, no rush..

Man o man just done one hell of a retro purchase here. A complete NES system the one that came with the Power Pad completely sealed still for 30 bucks.

Here is a pic of it I found online of the set I am talking about since I dont know how to post my own pics from my phone.
