January's my birthday month, so I usually end up treating myself, and I had a couple nice finds this month! Originally I was thinking I'd go for a PS1 RPG, but came across a few other items.
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile (PS1) - I had played Klonoa a bit through emulation a few years ago and enjoyed what I had played of it. The past few years, some of my favorite experiences gaming have been with platformers, so this is a series I've wanted to get into. Well, I came across a copy near me and equipped with store credit and saved up cashback, I was able to bring the cost down a bit. Looking forward to playing this later in the year! I also plan to grab the Switch compilation to support the developers.
Tenchu: Stealth Assassins (PS1) - This is another title I played a bit of at a friend's house back in the day. I don't have much experience with stealth games, but I think it'll be fun to check out a game in a genre I'm not as familiar with. I really enjoy games in a feudal Japan setting, so that's already a plus.
Shining Force Gaiden III: Final Conflict (SMS) - I came across a homebrewer in Portugal who is releasing Sega Master System carts of games that were originally released on Game Gear. This is pretty attractive to me, as I'm not as into handhelds and currently don't own a modded Game Gear or Analogue Pocket to experience some of the GG titles I'm interested in. This homebrew features the English fan translation, has a translated color manual, and also came with a high quality poster featuring art from the game. As a fan of the Shining series, this is a cool item that I'm glad I was able to grab.
Paperboy (GB) - Growing up my sister had Paperboy for her GB and I would borrow it from time to time. This ended up being a favorite of her's and I grew to like it too. Unfortunately over the years her cart went missing, so I've been aiming to grab two clean copies of the game, so that we could enjoy it again.

Nice rug and awesome stack of games! That Chrome Hounds game seems interesting. I might have to check that out.ElkinFencer10 wrote:New for January 29

Also, looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Dead Space! I'd like to pick up the original release on the 360.
