Got back not too long ago. Store was okay, nothing special. I almost picked up a FC Mobile, but after testing it, decided I could easily live without it.
But!

Purchased Batman Returns for NES, $7.00
Super High Impact Football, Genesis, $00.50
Classic Gameboy in great shape, $10.00
Dracula Unleashed, Sega CD, $3.00

So yeah, nothing special. The NES games were waaaaaaaay overpriced. I called ahead to see if they carried Saturn games, and the response I received was "Tons of Saturn games". By "tons" they meant two copies of Virtual Fighter 2, and one copy of Mario Andretti racing.
Bastards.

Still, I'm happy I got Batman Returns.

It's great. Someone on this board said that it is a very over looked game, and it was true, I wasn't even aware of it.
It's a side scrolling beat'em up, like its SNES counterpart, but has that classic Konami 8-bit music and feel. Actually, the music from the first stage sounds quite familiar. A lot like the music from the re-fueling sequences in Top Gun for NES:





Or is it just me?

It was weird, as soon as I started playing Batman Returns, I thought, I know I've heard that riff before.

Hm seems different from the Game Gear Returns I played, which is also awesome. But it looks pretty good, I'll have to give it a look.

Is Batman Returns the one with the 2-Player fighting mode?

I remember playing that all day when it came out.

I was looking through some of my sisters old boxes from when she moved back in and I found disc 2 of Command and Conquer for the PSX, as well as Tomb Raider for the PSX. Still hoping to find disc 1.
I'm back!
