Topic: Your latest retro purchase

• The first Parasite Eve (PS1)

I've imported an US PS2 with--

• Tales of the Abyss (PS2)
• Radiata Stories (PS2)
• Grandia III (PS2)

I'm a very lucky European!!!

^Indeed, especially with Tales of the Abyss.

I got tired of waiting and bought Final Fantasy Legends II. This game is great and surprisingly hilarious in terms of dialogue.

^ Went to my local Game Craze today to buy a new SNES controller, and to see what new SNES games they had in. Instead... I purchased myself a Dreamcast. First Sega console/handheld I have ever owned in my life, EVER. With it, I got NFL 2k1 for $1.99, and Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation for $7.99. They didn't have much to choose from. I was going to get Marvel vs. Capcom 2, but it was a bit steep in price, and I've never been big on fighting games. Never played a MvC game either, not even on XBLA.

Both games were in amazing condition, surprisingly. Complete with the original case and little CD-type booklet inside.

lucky you! Used Dreamcast game cases are usually badly cracked. Nice find BTW

And I had to go exchange it for a new copy. Oh well, this one seems much nicer.

Here's most of my haul for March so far.

Awesome find there, I have always been interested in owning a Dreamcast for some reason. They are cool and mysterious little boxes, and I've quite enjoyed Skies of Arcadia and Sonic Adventure Battle 2, albeit on my GCN. Even the console itself appears to be in pristine condition (according to the picture)

@wiggy - Nice pick-up. That's a lot for just this month, lol. What are the Mega Man games on the bottom, are they Japanese PS games?

@Optimist_Prime Thanks! Definitely loving NFL 2k1 right now. Tried Tomb Raider, but seems to be a bit of a learning curve with the controls. >_> I'll dive more into that eventually.

And I was wondering... is the Dreamcast region-locked? Or will PAL/Japan games play on it?

Yup! 1-6 for the PS1

@WiggytheHut: Nice work there this month. Princess Leia would be proud!

I finally picked up and started playing Yoshi's Island. I am very surprised at this game to be quite honest; it give's Super Mario World a run for it's Dragon Coins for Ryno's Top "Mario" Game!

Niiiiiice!

Nice find! Box seems to be in amazing condition. I'm not too keen on SMW2 though. It's a great game, I just can't stand Baby Mario. The fact that every time you get hit, you have to hear Baby Mario cry, and scream, and cry, and scream until you're able to get him back is just annoying.

However, to be fair, it's probably got one of the coolest Bowser boss-fights ever.

Ah Yoshi's Island, that and Pokemon Crystal were my childhood on the GBA
Awesome ind with all the inserts. How much did it cost just wondering?

Love Yoshi's Island, but like Driveshaft, baby (i.e. obnoxious crying) Mario grates on my nerves.

So, I'm sort of out of control this month. I wasn't trying to get back into NES collecting yet, but I saw these on Craigslist and couldn't help myself

I'm out of control this month!

• Romancing Saga (PS2)

Nice, I quite liked that game. It's not great, but it's good fun and pretty much the best the SaGa series has been since SaGa 2.

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, Galerians: Ash, The Bouncer, and Grandia Xtreme for the PS2.
