I had this game back in the day and was glad to get it again. This is pure hack and slash. There's a story too if you like cutscenes. Never knew this one existed.

That's really sweet! I'm on the hunt for a 65XE myself. I like my XEGS but it can be cumbersome to setup sometimes just for a few minutes of play time. I also need to work on my A8 cart collection. I have very few but I do use an SIO2SD device. Its nice. Cool to see new ones are still out there.

Sabertooth Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 We went to the SoCal Gaming Expo last Saturday. I didn't find a whole lot that I was looking for amongst the vendors and I was dumbstruck at some of the pricing. Especially for boxed consoles and N.A. Saturn games. The worst offender was a beat to hell loose Jag/CD combo with a standard controller for the bargain price of $1,500! I'm glad that I got into retro when I did! Anyway, not all was lost. One import only vendor was selling Saturn imports for reasonable prices. I picked up two commons, sealed for $15 ea. Virtual On and Virtua Fighter Kids.

RickR Posted March 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I'm glad you found something! I've decided to skip the Portland retro-gaming swap-meet this weekend. I'm sure the prices won't be as high as you mentioned, but I'm just not in the mood and I don't think there is anything I want or need. Paying to get in and paying to park are a couple of disincentives too, although those prices aren't bad either. I guess I'm just really not feeling it. "OLD FART ALERT!" I do feel bad about it.

Sabertooth Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Thanks @RickR ! I was determined to leave with something. I definitely felt like a cranky old fart looking at the prices. Also sat in on the Pat & Ian panel which was at least entertaining. I much prefer hearing from old timey devs but this was a much more social media oriented event.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I've never been to a gaming event but have wanted to attend the one Missouri has...or used to have before COVID. It would be neat to see what I could find there. I'd most likely be after Famicom games. RickR and Sabertooth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be neat to see what I could find there. I'd most likely be after Famicom games. They'll be back, don't worry! If Portland and SoCal have opened the doors after the pandemic, all other areas will follow suit. And it makes sense for you if you have a system you are openly collecting for. I kind of envy that situation, yet I don't want to be in that position right now. It's time to focus on playing all that I have and getting rid of the systems I don't touch.

RickR Posted March 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Next up for sale from me on ebay will be: Atari 8-bit computers. I have too many. Probably the 800 and an XEGS need to go. Also my Atari ST. I never touch it and I'd rather play with the Amiga. Edited March 4, 2022 by RickR Justin and Sabertooth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 New family member. From a Goodwill in Wisconsin. Other than a crack in the case, which really is not bad, it looks like new. Not a scratch on it and it's complete. PlayStation games have always been hard for me to find in decent condition so this was an extremely nice pick up for me. This was an EBAY find.

7800 Pro Gamer Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Recent pickups from the last two days. I gave away most of my 7800 retrogameboyz pads with the 7800s I gave for Christmas gifts. So I got another, picked up operation wolf for a few dollars and got a good deal on 2 Jaguar games I've been wanting for a few years. Feeling good.

7800 Pro Gamer Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Allied record exchange, a store that I primarily go to for records, not video games, had a bunch of Jaguar carts for some reason. The prices weren't bad at all either. I think it's the first time I saw Jaguar stuff in the wild in at least 5 years, probably more. I have most of what I want but they also had Zool 2, Bubsy, Theme Park, Club Drive, and Kasumi Ninja. They'll be a nice find for another local collector I hope.
