teh "what did you buy today"-thread

A few recent local finds.


  So when I saw Battlecry, which I've never played before, I figured I'd give it a try.

Any good?

Well honestly I haven't tried it yet.  My Gamecube isn't currently hooked up and today I kept going back and forth between which TV to hook it up to.  I know once it's out I'm going to want to revisit a few choice GC and GBA games so I'm torn between hooking it up in my dedicated retro area in the bedroom (27" Tube TV, boom box speakers, gaming chair) or my living room setup (47" LCD, 5.1 setup - big bass, comfy couch).  I'll decide tomorrow and let you know what I think of the game.  I've read/watched mixed reviews, but overall it sounds like there's fun to be had, if only in short bursts.  I'm cool with that.

I really like this guy's videos and he had a pretty favorable view of the game: so I'm hoping to report back with a favorable report.

Looking forward to the review.

Cyberbots!!!! on my never ending list of games I want to play. Did you like it? I used to play the arcade version. At least I think there was an arcade version I played

Heh everyone seems to be getting Macross related games.

I have always wanted to try the GB Ninja Gaiden.

Anyway, picked up this small lot at a local auction...

Battle of Olympus is a really cool Zelda II clone. I remember renting it bitd and being completely entranced by it. Just be prepared for some stupidly long passwords. It's worth it though.

I love Tetris Plus  

Also got some Famicom games I really wanted off of YJA

Majors sent this to me

Got rid of some stuff I no longer needed, and nabbed:

It's...alright.  A bit slow as compared to the NES version, but still fun.

Not game related, but still a big passion for me.  Music.
