oh no doubt, can you imagine how much a cart with that much space would have cost BITD?

I was just impressed that the SNES was churning out a fairly smooth and speedy gameplay and great sound.

Couple pickups in the past 2 weeks:

1.) Ninja Gaiden, CIB for the Sega Master System. Got a shockingly good price for this one - thank you eBay alerts

2.) The rare-ish re-release version of Phantasy Star, CIB (if your version has the battery backup memory text in green in the top right, yours is too; the original release didn't have it).

That leaves me with just the blue cart version of Rambo to have the full NTSC set + the variants, which I whiffed on once a year ago at auction and haven't seen it since...

3.) Longbox NFL Gameday for the PS1 for a buck at Goodwill, also CIB. God, this game is awful but I couldn't resist.

I just checked my cart of Phantasy Star. It's gween! Yay!

Nice one on the Ninja Gaiden. I have been after that one for a while.

Is ninja gaiden a US release?  I have never come across one, but my SMS knowledge is way limited.

It's the PAL version - no NTSC release for that one. I'm trying to get Power Strike II PAL to top off the collection but it's getting pretty insanely expensive these days.

Nice SMS goodies!  I just recently realized I don't have a copy of Phantasy Star and was kind of sad.  But found a second copy of Ys in a box of stuff so maybe that balances it out

Mobile so quoting is a pain in the ass, but..

1.)  I love the LA haul.  Road Prosecutor is my favorite game on the system and VC2 isn't too far behind.

2.)  I think in the original NFL Gameday you can tackle the WR and not get called for interference, as long as you also intercept the ball.  I played that game a lot BITD if that is the one...  give it a try!

Re: Gameday - I fired it up quick in the PS1 emulator to give it a run through. It made me really appreciate how much better NFL games got when NFL 2k came out on the DC. That game actually still holds up decently today.

I played last years Madden a little bit and man, I gotta say that the NFL exclusive license is killing any and all innovation with football games. Really with 2K Sports got another shot at making a competitor to the Madden franchise.

I am an avid madden player, and I agree about the "exclusive" clause with EA.
we are forced to live with them telling us what we want because there is no choice. Every year they make stupid changes to the button assignments and adding dumb features nobody ever even plays. All to justify the $60 asking price. IMO, they have never topped 2003 from a playability standpoint.

I never got into the 2k series, because back then Madden satisfied me just fine. I had roommates BATTLE over 2k matches for literally weekends on end.

I found these today, always Nintendo never sega!
