Went to G2k Games and got a boxed copy of Doctor Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine for Genesis, (I actually had them move a cart from a different store for me, but the day they received the copy, someone came and traded the boxed copy in!) Pro Pinball: Fantastic Journey and Big Race USA for Playstation, and Donkey Kong Country 3 for GBA. (Dat David Wise soundtrack though)
You know where Waldo is? I guess sometime in the next week he should get his striped-shirt butt on a plane from Japan to go to my Super Nintendo.
(okay, I guess those of you in the rest of the world might call him Wally, if you even remember him)
It's a more story-intensive(!) game than the one America got (which was honestly kind of pointless because the book would be a lot cheaper and infinitely higher resolution ).
And also America Ultra Quiz, after I watched Tomato play it, as well as Dragon Buster II.
My latest additions, a bunch of eBay grabs over the past week or two:
Robotech: The Macross Saga (GBA) (with manual): I absolutely love Robotech to an unhealthy degree. This game is a pretty good shmup, with a great art style and excellent chiptune versions of the classic series music. It's pretty quick game (10 levels, which are all fairly short), but the multiple characters (and unlockables) encourage many playthroughs.
Spider-Man (aka Spider-Man vs The Kingpin) (Genesis) (CIB): Pretty good game, about the same level as the Hulk game for Genny. Captures the 90s-era of the comic quite well.
Superman (Genesis): This game is not good. Just tremendously unbalanced in terms of "cheap difficulty". I didn't even want this game really; it basically came as a freebie along with the CIB Spider-Man i grabbed. I might actually end up trading this into the retro store.
Rival Turf (SNES): Can cover art get any more epic? A good beat 'em up, not great, but good and enjoyable.
The almighty Colecovision Super Action Controller (aka The Boxing Glove of Doom)! I've wanted one of these for a while, and finally grabbed it. You simply cannot deny how awesome this thing is.
I'm also still waiting on Psycho Dream for SuperFami to arrive, which i am very much looking forward to.

As @ogo79 said, the SNS-RZ-USA is a prime giveaway that it's not a legit retail cart.
And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)
I'm surprised some of those food prices haven't changed as much as I'd have expected over 27 years.
I didn't know they had Double Stuff Oreos in 1987, I thought those were a '90s creation.

Double Stuff Oreos actually first came out in the mid-70s or so.
I've dodged buying anything Nintendo 8/16bit cart based all year up until the last couple days, but it was more of a convenience thing if anything. Two days ago found Talespin in a dust slip for $10. Today it was a store I had $50 in credit at and a 10% off coupon, so taxed at $7 I got Adventure Island 3 (in a plastic clamshell with most of the box inside it cut up wrecked) and also Shatterhand. Not really sure on the second, love AI3 though, only one of those I do.

All the way from Japan, this lovely finally arrived today:
Psycho Dream (SuperFamicom) - just played a tiny bit so far to make sure it worked, and it is awesome. I need to read up some more on it so i actually know what i'm doing.
Strange note, the seller also included in the package a random Japanese Dragon Ball trading card game card of Goku's Spirit Bomb for some reason. I have no idea why.
On the download front, i also grabbed Castlevania Chronicles for PS1 on my PSP — and holy crap is it amazing.

One of the few times I have ever bought a game for collection purposes over enjoyment is now.
Karaoke Studio for the Famicom, just for being an oddball licensed cart. It'll go great with me Nantettate Baseball.
Got a Famicom game of every regular (licensed) shape now, just missing a couple other one-off a kinds.
Big Spender coming through! Womp womp!
My older NES RF switch sizzled out last week. I fired up a game of Amagon, only for the picture to turn into a total Grey Fiz storm 5 minutes in.
you will never, ever beat amagon.

I got a nice little haul over the last few weeks
first and foremost this little beauty:
(Note not my image just pulling it up for those who haven't seen one)
A Sega Nomad for.............$60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The guy at the game store I frequent wanted $90, but I managed to get it down! Now granted it didn't initially come with the battery pack so it went from being cheap to very expensive in a flash, but I love it. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than the Game Gear. I have a little Genesis collection so far, having picked up Genesis 6-Pak, Ecco the Dolphin: Tides of Time (CIB with passwords!), Sonic 2 (CIB I think..anything else come with the game back in the day besides the manual???), Final Zone, and PGA Golf ll (CIB)
Also got King of Fighters '95 Japan Cart and....Catrap for $3.50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Each) Also nabbed a few Game Gear games nothing to fancy on that front. Overall I've had a good few weeks!
Formally Square-enixFan, Neo-GeoFan. A lover of fine games and handheld systems!!!!!!!!!! The New 3DS XL is amazing, soon the NX will be upon us! Backloggery Check my Youtube channel out! http://www.youtube.com/user/Ha...
Where my friends and I usually get stupid:
https://www.twitch.tv/MUDWALLHOLLER - Come by hang and visit our Discord. The link for Discord is on the Twitch page.
I have wanted this game for so long and there weren't many signs of this game being complete for an ok price anytime in the next 100 years so I just decided to get it now.
To blessed to be stressed.
80's music makes me feel fabulous.
What Would Duane Do? Rynoggery
Have fun, Ryno Pocky & Rocky 2 is fun, but is more manageable than its predecessor and nowhere near as challenging. Still, it's nice while it lasts (even though I like it I have a lot of personal qualms about it as a sequel). The first one is and always will be superior, imo, but the sequel's not bad; that would be Pocky & Rocky with Becky for the Game Boy Advance, which disappoints on so many levels; can't imagine Heavenly Guardian on the Nintendo Wii being worse
