Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge (GB)
Metal Gear Solid (GBC)
That should do me good until June 12th, when I intend to try to get another SNES game and the PS2 Lupin game. (I saw it at a store last week, and I knew I should've grabbed it, but I wasn't sure if it was good until this Monday night...)
Also, is there an option to have a rectical? Because that would be extremely helpful...
not trying to be rude but im cutting to first in line.

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) ;)
Oh yeah, fans have been mad for years about the soundtrack. I personally didn't mind it, if only because I feel horror music is never pleasant ever, but it does need to at least be ambient, which it was in the Dualshock Edition.
I also vaguely recall there being some controversy in terms of who was actually creditted with doing the music...
Also, Alien Storm is your favorite game on the collection? Are you legit trolling? That is, like, one of only 8 or 9 terrible games on the Genesis Collection. It's down there with Phantasy Star II and III, Altered Beast (which I'd put above it even), Bonanza Bros., Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Super Thunder Blade, and Gain Ground...
Grabbed Mystic Ninja Starring Goemon and Doom 64 for decent prices. Also finally found a decent listing of Run Saber for under $60, so I grabbed that, too. Oh, and yes, I got Lupin the 3rd: Treasures of the Sorcerer King for the PS2 as well, really looking forward to playing that one.
EDIT: Also bought a controller pak for the N64. Turns out I need that for a lot of my games...
I wonder how the GB version compares to the GBA version of Alien Wars? (I mean, the GB version could do the top-down stages, but somehow the GBA couldn't and replaced them with two levels from Hard Corps)
Though it looks like the GB version might be missing the motorcycle stage.
My local game store was having a buy 2 get 1 free deal going on, and it just so happened they had two great games in, so...
I paid $15 for Earthworm Jim and Vectorman (I got a couple bucks off because I had a few left on a gift card) and I got Sonic Spinball as my free game!
A couple holes in my PS2 collection.
How did I have Atelier Iris 1 and 3 but not 2. And Raw Danger is another I thought I had but I guess not.
GrimGrimoire is another late-era RPG I didn't get, and I thought I had them all.
Sadly another one I didn't get is now pretty expensive.
Mana Khemia 2. I thought it at least got a PSP release, but it seems that was Japan-only.
And the PS2 version is one of many games on PSN in Japan only.
I have 1, but that seems to be pretty cheap these days.

Oh yeah, I missed that one, too. Really upset, since that one apparently was a lot better than the first, if I remember correctly.
About a week ago, I was digging through a rack full of CDs in a Goodwill, and I found Suikoden 1 for a dollar. Currently enjoying it a lot, best dollar I've ever spent!
Currently bored (while change when I stop being bored)
Recently found a PS1 at Goodwill. It had a busted spindle hub, but I was able to replace that for $6. Got Dino Crisis, Gex: Enter the Gecko, Gran Turismo, Tomb Raider: Last Revelation, and King of Fighters 99.
Played more Gran Turismo than anything...just trying to learn how to actually play...
I own a PS1, GBA, GBA SP, Wii (GCN), 360, 3DS, PC (Laptop), Wii U, and PS4.
I used to own a GBC, PS2, and DS Lite
Well, I see one PS2 RPG has gone up that thankfully I DID get while it was cheap: Wild Arms - Alter Code: F. I remember that game seemingly delayed forever, and then when it did hit on November 15, 2005 it had enough competition with DQ8 and Magna Carta, and a few other games. I'd say the Xbox 360 launch the next week was a thing, but I somehow I don't think there was too much market overlap.
Another game I found in the collection I'm kind of surprised to see they released in America: Nightmare of Druaga - Fushinino Dungeon. Two franchises probably few people in America had heard of rolled into one. (well, I know Mystery Dungeon had seen release in a Chocobo and Torkeno versions I think on PS1. But that was before its obviously most popular variant was released. But why they didn't translate the Mystery Dungeon subtitle? )
Ok, been a while since my last post, and i've got a random selection this time ...
Atlantis (blue label variant) and Shootin' Gallery (Atari 2600) - just 3 more Imagic 2600 games left to grab including Atlantis II ... though i may have to enlist the aid of Indiana Jones to find that one
Dragon Warrior III (GBC) - I should probably get around to finishing the GBC version of DWII, but i'm glad i finally picked this one up at a decent price.
Brain Lord (SNES) - Started playing this and am still fairly early on, but it's a lot of fun. The Ys-influence is clear, but this game does something more with the formula with the different weapons and powers and such. Cool, and the NPCs have a certain engaging charm to their personalities. Well done once again, dear departed Enix.
Virtua Fighter 3tb - The original Virtua Fighter is a personal fave, but since i have yet to buy a Saturn (which i honestly have considered getting solely for VF), this entry will do for now. I definitely need to invest in a fight stick to get the most out of this one; the DC controller just doesn't cut it.
Meanwhile in other news, after several weeks of having to deal with the bureaucratic nightmare known as the Town of Hempstead, the retro shop is FINALLY having its grand opening at their new location this Saturday. He originally wanted to open on Memorial Day weekend, but red tape for businesses in the ToH is a hassle and a half. The new location looks amazing, and i am psyched to head on over and drop probably way too much money on Saturday. Stay tuned for the next Shpydarhaultm!
