Santa was really good to me this year in terms of games.



Most of these games were picked up in a really cool place called, "Horseshoes and Hand Grenades".  Great classic and vintage store down here in Virginia.  They sell basically anything old but huge gaming section as well, they even have a boxed JVC X'EYE.  Very cool but a lot of the stuff is very expensive, like $150.00 for a Loose Virtual Boy with Mario Tennis, $180 for the X'Eye.  Check this place out.

Back to the games I know Duke is a pile of excrement but I am such a fan of the genre I have to check it out.  I'm also curious of Borderlands so I got the first copy to see how it is, some Saturn Gaming classics as well.  Good haul.

This is the first I've heard of Eliminate Down's music being satisfying.

Never bothered looking into this game before, but due to the above I gave it a look. Not impressed with the audio at all. Even when the sound effects are not drowning out the music, it just isn't that strong soundtrack wise. Not terrible either, just seemed standard fare for the system. Visuals were pretty impressive though.

Nice haul! 

I can't vouch for how well it plays on a console controller, but I spent a ton of hours playing through Borderlands on the PC.  Like 50.    It did, however, take a couple of tries to get into.  When I first picked it up, I felt very "meh" about it.  But I tried it again a few months later and got totally sucked in.

I haven't picked up the second one yet, but I hear it's better in every way.

Super Gloveball (NES): $.75 cents
Legendary Wings (NES): $.75 cents
GI Joe: Atlantis Factor (NES/CIB): $.25 cents! <---Technically my first CIB NES game. I have a bunch of cart/manual games, but threw all the NES boxes away years ago.

Edit: There was a HUGE stack of NES games and a few other SNES games, that were all under $1, but people grab them quick!

NES titles like Castlevania 1, Mario, and Godzilla 2 (!). And the other SNES games were Lagoon, Mario Paint, and a few others. Man...Don't worry no Earthbounds or any Squaresoft games.

Sweet!  Black Tiger made a very impressive faq for FEOE: Kabuki Den which you can find on GameFaqs.  I've  been slowly working my way through that one.  The cutscenes and overall production value for the game are through the roof!

All of it shipped for about $20 and both Eden games have maps too.
Thought it was a good deal. And I got a second copy of zero 4 for a raffle.

Depends on the stage, but overall I like it.  There aren't too many games that go for full on pound the synth keyboard with a hammer approach.  Not something you want in every game, but I find it fits here.  The part where you fight all the space jockies is just badass imo.
