I'm not buying much these days so that'll last awhile. I'll have to get something before the 31st closes, not going to lose over $10 in ebay free money. :) Maybe I'll get F-Zero Climax back or snap up another Konami GB Collection (GBC) -- anyone have those games as I only have #3. :(
Is that the European #3 or the Japanese #3? The Japanese #3 is by far the best one in my opinion. Still trying to get that one. Really want Gradius II and Castlevania II on the same cart :I

Personally, I recommend either Volume #1 for Gradius and Operation C, or Japanese Volume #4 (Euro Vol #2) for Parodius Da! (and Quarth and Frogger I guess, they're neat diversion but not nearly as big as Castlevania, imo).

That is pretty much what happened to me one year. Instead of changing my habits, however, I decided to just stop tracking my spending. I have been much happier since then. :lol:
Yeah I'm doing it to hopefully get my butt back in the swing of selling some games on the side to offset my spending. Currently have a stack of stuff that needs to be tested and listed on eBay, but I've been putting it off for ages :P.

Well the Japanese one is SuperGB and no english option so avoid those. The EU/UK version is GBC colorized and in english so it's #3 on that. Back when they were new I owned all 4 of them, they were a loss a decade ago (hard times), then I had them again 5 years ago~ but I let them go when I got away from Gameboy. With how it's the only Nintendo cart system not a ripoff anymore I want them back so that's what I'm after now instead of buying the individual old carts.

Like you I desperately want Vol1+4 the most which have the Castlevanias, Contras(probotector), Gradius(Nemesis), and other games on them. #2 has Parodius and 3 others and #3 I have has Goemon and Twinbee that stand out. I have no idea why I have not seen #4 on ebay in months it's weird, but #1 I have and usually it's French and Spanish jerks who want like $25-35USD shipping so I don't even bother as that's robbery on a 3oz cartridge. When I was very sick last month sadly I missed Vol1 a couple times sold in the US in the $20s. :(

I have Euro #2 and #3. They're fun stuff, although I always feels like they have 1 or 2 good games and fill out the rest with crappy filler. Frogger and Guttang Gottong are not games I will be playing regularly, that's for sure.

I've always wanted a physical copy of Trip World, but I'm fine with not having it for the price it goes for, especially now I can play it on my 3DS.

I just started that yesterday on that very console (I got the physical Wii U disc because collector).

I also just downloaded Decay: The Mare. I don't know anything about it, but it's a horror game that's usually $9.99 but on sale for $0.99 right now on GreenManGaming, so I figured why the hell not?

I need to do the same. I've had the GOG release since launch, but I should probably secure a physical copy eventually.
