teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[storino03]

I got two CEs of Chronicles from Namco and Amazon.

Also got a standard edition off of Amazon which was free, and the CE came to $21.

CE from Namco was regular price though.

So far I got the Namco one today and the number was 8822

I posted an unboxing video:

Awesome haul, Jeff! I am hoping to find a copy of that Wonder Boy for PS2 at MGC. Can't wait!

Take a hair dryer to that sticker on Outrun and see if you can warm the glue up any. Don't melt the clear plastic though.

Either that or just find a replacement box. The real problem is when the seller puts the label in the artwork, I hate when people do that.

Misc stuff, Symphonia was bought through GameStop, the rest I found at a local media place.

Tales of Symphonia Chronicles: Collector's Edition [PS3]
Guardian Legend [NES]
Bushido Blade 2 [PS1]

My copy of Bushido Blade 2 is missing the back insert, so if anyone has a complete copy and would be willing to scan both sides of the case insert for me I'd be very appreciative!

Bat Man has awesome music.  As does much of Sunsofts games.

Alisia Dragoon is good!

Alisia Dragoon is good!

Was that one released before or after Castlevania?

Do you mean Bloodlines on Genesis?

Alisa Dragoon was an early Genny game, 1990. So long after the first few 8-bit Castlevania games. But a few years before Bloodlines.

Yes, Bloodlines.


I really like the familiar/pet switching ability on Alisa. It's been a bit since I've played it, but I recall it having a bit of a Castlevania like vibe to it.

Argh...my copy of Geograph Seal for the X68000 appears to be floating out in the pacific somewhere. That's what I get for not using EMS.

Retrogamecity on eBay sold it to me, and to their credit I got a full refund, no questions asked.

This is literally the first item in 15 years of eBaying that I've never received.

at long last!

Did you go SAL Small Packet (Under 2kg) or Surface?  I'm going to do my first test on surface shipping shortly, I've never had issues with SAL though, except my own impatience.
