@ogo79 Ah The Bouncer, the first PS2 I ever played. Yep what manniler way to kick off a new gen then with a beaten up. Every time I read The Bouncer I hear that voice saying it just like on the title screen.

Been awhile since I updated what I got.

A surprising amount of shooters. Tatsujin (Truxton) and Fire Mustang for Mega Drive (the latter is probably average, but the name is one I couldn't decide if it was great or terrible. What was funny to find out is that was an arcade port and that at some point MAME confused it with a bootleg version with Raiden music inserted for some reason.)
R-Type DX, Gradius Interstellar Assault and Aerostar for Game Boy. Not completely sure about Aerostar but why not. I assume it's not based on the '90s minivan but maybe Ford should've upgraded the minivan with machine guns as a great family safety feature. Nobody going to crash into you with those.

@KingMike
speaking of shooters what do you think of bio hazard battle and sqoon?
i like weird shooters like those and insector x for genesis, cho aniki, ai cho aniki and wings of wor.

@ogo79 I don't think I played Bio-Hazard Battle before. I had only first heard of it by its Japanese name, Crying. And I thought that was a strange name. Sqoon, I guess I didn't get. The NES version is becoming one of those pricey games I think and the Famicom is going up but no longer the $4 game it used to be. Guess I should've gotten it then (though I did get both LED and non-LED carts of Zippy Race. The former looks cooler, but I heard early prints of the former used EEPROM, so the latter should be a ROM cart, I think.)

You know, when there's fewer working Zippy Race Famicom carts left in the world...

I had also bought a loose Famicom Insector-X despite that I have a boxed Genesis copy. As I recall, the Genesis version looked a bit more "real" whereas the bright colors of the FC I think suit the game better.

yes. bio hazard battle is called crying in japan. i think thats due to the environment of the game being polluted by aliens and vermin, thus the world cries. however i really think the game crying is a game based off real life gamers complaining all the time via the internet, thus the gamer cries
i remember you talking about those led famicom carts, i had thought sqoon was the only one for a while.
i think people tend to take more of a liking towards the genny version of insector x, especially over the arcade version which i should play one day on taito legends vol 2 for ps2

New year, new(old) games to collect! I think my collection is over 300 retail games now. It's a small collection but I put in great and interesting games instead of padding it out with less than great games. This month I focused on completing my Basic Collection (games I absolutely need) and next month I start my Advanced Collection (games I do not need but are nice to have). I think this time last year I had less than 150 games. It has been one heck of a year and I have the Switch to look forward to as well

---Game Boy Advance---

F-Zero: GP Legend
Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Wario Land 4

---Gamecube---

F-Zero GX
Luigi's Mansion (*)
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour
Pikmin

So I went to my local flea market today and scored pretty good.

This was the best deal I got today $10 C.I.B it even came with the instruction booklet. Normally this goes for $35 - $50 online so, naturally I couldn't pass it up. If you never played this one it is the best home port of Paperboy around.

Untitled

Also picked up these as well.

Quake II for 2 dollars yeah the label is torn but it's Quake II. Heard good things about it so I figure I'd give it a shot.

Bill Lambeer's Combat Basketball this one is a guilty pleasure so for 50 cents why not.

A Dreamcast VMU. Needed one of these since my last on got filled. I got it for $5

That's it for now.
