Post your latest/recent pickups!

Trust me when I say it isn't much. Compared to what I know @sramirez2008 and @TrekMD picked up plus others I saw walking about with several grocery sized cloth bags full of stuff. No... mine is a pittance in pickups for what a person might normally get a convention. 

And to be quite fair, there are quite a few more AtariAge releases I plan to get, but since many of them didn't have the boxes ready at the show, I decided I will wait until they hit the AA store next month. 

One game I've quite disappointed about is E.X.O. It was supposed to get released at PRGE, but due to issues with the HOKEY still not working right with it, that wasn't possible. It has been told to Muddyfunster that E.X.O. isn't likely to come out until 2nd or 3rd qtr of 2023 possibly.

I've always had trouble with "carrying" stuff at PRGE.  You buy a piece of hardware and boxed games...it's hard to manage.  I usually take a fabric grocery bag and use that volume as my limit.

I really want to get Popeye for the 7800. How is it @CrossBow ?

Pretty much arcade perfect near as I can tell and all the quarter munching difficulty that comes with it too! I'm likely to live stream some of the new games over the weekend to give others a look in more detail. But I wasn't even able to finish the second board on my play of it a bit last night.

LOL  I need to take pics.  The best part is that most games had no boxes.  I would not have been able to fit it all in my carry on bag!

I'm waiting to hear back from.  They gave me two copies of Chaos Engine instead of a copy of each of Gods and Chaos Engine.  I didn't realize until I went to pack the games.

These are not from PRGE.  They were waiting for me when I made it back home...

Where did you find this?! And what is on the Genesis cart or is it just a static item? I have the collectors edition of this from LRG when it was first released and it came with the sound track but only on cassette tape so I had to be creative with finding another version that I would want to listen to sometimes.

I recently completed the Pokémon trilogy! I already caught ‘em all, but it’s nice to finally HAVE ’em all! Blue and Yellow were gifts from my friend Alex, but my OCD told me to get Red to finish the trilogy. I don’t mind it since Red’s the game that I had on my 3DS as a kid so it’s very nostalgic for me.

Glad to see Popeye getting a lot of love. 😄 Darryl put a lot of work into it. He has a real passion for that game.

 

I have not seen him in person for some years now, especially since I am mostly a shut in now due to my health. A funny story though is this: 

He got a Popeye arcade cabinet some years ago, he was into collecting arcade cabinets. After he got that Popeye cabinet, one time when I was over at his house a few years ago (we used to work at the same company and became friends years before that), he brought out all the Popeye ports and went over all the ways they were inferior to the Arcade original. He was very thorough. 😛 He then proceeded to do the same for Donkey Kong and then Mario Bros. which he is also passionate about. I came over to hang out, but got taken to school. 😄
