Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings (Wii) It includes 1993 PC adventure Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (original PC version with Wii pointer controls).
Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars - The Director's Cut (Wii) It's the mid 90ies cartoony adventure (for the most part the original release with a few little touches added and changed here and there). It was first released for PC and PS1.
SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 (Wii) A collection of 16 Neo Geo/arcade games.
Bonk III: Bonk's Big Adventure (Wii/VC) Rare Turbografx jump&run from 1993 with big sprites and colorful stages and great 2 player co-op. (I had the two prequels for a while, and downloaded part 3 so I finally have the original Turbografx-Bonk trilogy complete on my Wii) Bonk III is easily the best in the series.
@oldgamesonly: Nice, glad to see you got your copy of Dracula X. Having a copy of that game puts us at elite level member status of the Goonies which, by the way is now on Thursday's instead of Wednesday's at the Fratelli's Store. People like to dog on the game but I'll admit I like it. Sure the level design is a little Willy Wonka wonkey but the music and graphics kick Belmont blood butt. Plus, it's classic Castlevania which I prefer to Symphony style any day of the week.
To blessed to be stressed.
80's music makes me feel fabulous.
What Would Duane Do? Rynoggery
@Waveboy i dont have any tmnt figures anymore i used to play with them a lot too @Ryno its just like any other Castlevania if you ask me cant be that bad, they always get bids on ebay. now watch, its going to become a fad.

Wow I take a short break from this place and Waveboy goes nuts. Nice haul there dude. Sucks about the Raphael but you get it next time.
I have both versions of Slash one with the black belt and one with the purple belt. Also I think the one with the Black belt also was a brighter shade of green than the one with the purple belt. Also I found funny is that the reused the Slash mold for the toy version of Tokka (the turtle from the second movie) even going so far as reusing the weapons from Slash which we all know that Tokka never used in the movie
Also nice purchase on the Genesis there too I am sure your bro will love it. I guess this means you are going to be spending alot of time with your bro at least till you get your own Genesis.

@Waveboy: You certainly like to make a Casey Jones type retro splash don’t you? Those Turtle figures are cowabungalicious! Slash is one messed up mutant though. How did he get so jacked up while the TMNT came out so boadacious? Did Slash just get a bad batch of ooze? How’s your TMNT collection coming? Do you have Sewer Surfer? I still have mine from when I was a pre-teenage honorary turtle.
The Link sprite is so random but oh so retroriffic, how did you find that?
Nice B-day present for your borther, my 31st is June 10th so I am expecting some nice retro gifts from you If you want to you can get a me a copy of Rescue Rangers 2, Duck Tales 2, Snow Brothers, or Little Samson. I don’t have those yet.

Yes, Sewer Surfer does have a baby shark on his shoulder and crab near his crotch. It’s really a great action figure!
You are creating some serious waves to roll off 2012 my friend! I have never played a Wario Land game, well take that back I played Super Mario Land 3 but they must be all kinds of awesome by the way you praise them. That is a great that you go the series, something just feels right when you have an entire series of something you know? It would be like hanging out with Pee Wee Herman outside of his playhouse and yeah sure, you are bound to have a fantastic time but something just would be missing. That Simon Belmont is also a very cool keychain, I will have to remember that. As for the McD’s SMB3 Happy Meal box, man that takes me back. I can taste the greasy fries now will jumping inside of goofy grape Grimace.
You want to know a ridiculously expensive NES game that probably never would have imagined that it goes for the prices that it does? How about The Flintstones: The surprise at Dinousaur Peak. This bedrock beauty cart only can be yours for $600 OBO.
whats funny about Surprise at Dinosaur Peak is that Sega Genesis had a rehashed version

if GameCube counts as retro, I just bot Sonic Heroes. Rather nostalgic for me (I had the PS2 version when it was new). It's also a lot better than the PS2 version.

Waveanardo SNES game now? Wow, haven’t seen you buy one of those in awhile. Super Punch Out!! is awesome though I agree it misses the 8-bit flava. Haven’t played that since renting SNES games at Blockbuster was what the kids did. As for Mario 64… OK I can understand why you got it; it was 3d revolutionary and deserves its place in video game history. I just didn’t spend much time with the N64. Maybe after my SNES, NES, Atari 2600, and Genesis collections are complete I will work on that! Haha… yeah right like that will happen anytime soon, especially for the dollars some of these pricey Stay Puff Marshmellow Man cartridges are going for. Anyway that story is totally hilarious about the SMB 64! Is that a finger nail or a toe nail? NASTE-Y Did you pay the Shredder mutant reject all ready? If not don’t, take a hit on the Ebay account or whatever. I just sold my crap mummified copy of Super Castlevania IV on Amazon and actually profited $1.00 after the fees! Hope that blob lights work out for you, if not is just another cool accessory!
I seriously bought this for .01 cent (plus $3.99 for shipping)! I have the NES cart Strider already but haven’t got around too it yet so why not play it on my GBA during lunch I thought? Yeah Strider is as glitchy as Dracuala hell but it will be awesome to complete! How many people you know have? Plus it’s got Bionic Commado which is a such great NES game. It has to be one of the first NES games to cuss. Mighty Final Fight, whatever I guess it will be nice to play. The NES cart goes for mucho Chuck-E-Cheese coins anyway.
I bought that new awhile ago but haven't gotten around to playing it. I wonder if it's as glitchy as some of the other non-Nintendo NES ports?
I got an actual copy of the Super Dodge Ball/Nekketsu Street Basket compilation after trying it in an emulator, and while it wasn't as flickery as the emu, it's still kinda bad (as the graphics jump a bit as it tries to compensate for the GBA's lower resolution). I think that, for the Nintendo NES ports, they just cropped the graphics and edited them to minimize quality loss.
@KingMike: You ever played Strider before? I don't think it's just with the GBA port, I have read about plenty of complaints and issues with the NES game. It is one of those few games that was not released in Japan. The "triangle jump" is a pain, it makes the Super Metroid wall jump seem easy in comparison!
I love how it says on the back of the box "Celebrate gaming history with 3 of Capcom's most popular titles." Yeah right, when I think of Capcom I don't think of Strider and Mighty Final Fight; Bionic Commando on the other hand is a yes.
Wow, awesome purchases, Waveboy. I've been after Super Mario 64 and Super Punch-out!! for a while now. Too bad my TV is messed up so I couldn't play them anyways.

@Waveboy: Nice purchases there dude. Super Punch Out!! always holds a soft spot in my heart but that was cause it was the first Punch Out I really got into and beat. I rented Mike Tysons a few times but that was one of the super hard to get games from my video store you know the ones that are always rented out. Although after playing the other games in the series I can see why people were disappointed by Super Punch Out!!. The one round fights, the fact that kicks and sticks were used against you and all you can do is punch and the fact that if you do run out of time you cant win by decision. Still as you said no Punch Out!! collection is complete without it.

McWave Though I know you are wavian but live in Canada I wanted to tell you that I was up snowboarding at Whistler this past weekend while all the goomba’s were glued to their TV’s watching a meaningless game. For lunch yesterday I got some Canadian McDonalds and the fries I noticed tasted different then here in the States. I was as surprised as Peter Venkman after he discovered Dana Barret was possessed by Zuul! Anyway, yeah the N64 totally missed the Love Boat when they neglected to make 64-bit sprite based games. Though part of me thinks I missed out on some Excellent Adventure like experiences, I’m really kind of glad that I don’t have nostalgia mixed in for my feelings towards the Bogus Journey N64 because then there would be even more games I would want to collect! Plus there are enough NES, SNES, Genesis, and Atari 2600 for this dude's lifetime to keep me satisfied even if I never buy another current gneration game.
I sold Super Castlevania IV for $51.99 plus $4 for shipping. I don’t think I would have got that for it on Ebay in an auction. I mean, I bought my near mint complete copy for $37.00 and it had all the inserts and the plastic on it except one side where you open the box. I could have put a “But it Now” price but there are plenty of Super Castlevania IV copies on Ebay. Amazon’s situation for SC IV was different. Also, I just sold my attacked by vampire fangs scratched label cart only copy of Bloodlines for $22.50 on Amazon whereas I bought the cart originally for $12.00 with shipping and my nice complete copy from Ebay for $24.00 including shipping!
Strider is totally rough like a killer pizza. So if you do get it though best be prepared like a Ninja! I’m sure if you have read reviews you have heard this already though. I haven’t got to far in it yet but it’s pretty fun if you don’t mine some frustration. As for Mighty Final Fight, I have only played it for like 3 minutes, saving it for after Strider, I will be sure and let you know though! Mighty Final Fight goes for some serious Space Cash so you may need to get a loan from Uncle Scrooge!
Yeah, hear you about playing/finding Radical Rescue. How do you like Operation C compared to the other Contra’s?
