Another small month for purchases. Crash and Kirby were boot fair acquisitions, Monkey Island was from Amazon. Unfortunately, saving for rent, driving lessons and my driving test isn't leaving me with much gaming money. Happy with what I got though.

This month was another lean one, which is actually how I currently see much of the rest of the year going...I expect more going out than coming in during July, for example. On top of that, 2/3 of the purchases were digital! Just not feeling the "collector" bug of late outside of pinball-related games...

Wii:
Sonic Colors

GBA:
Mario Pinball

PSP:
Strikers 1945 Plus
Street Fighter 3 Alpha Max
Power Stone Collection
Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower

360
Guardian Heroes

Dreamcast:
Gunlord CE

iOS
Midway Arcade

----------

And some "why not" stats at the half way point:

# of games acquired: 158 (almost half of which were in January)
# physical: 119
# digital: 39

# of games traded away/sold: 28 (all but 4 of which were in January)

Totals:
+130 games added to the collection (91 games added to the physical collection)

Proudest purchase: Ketsui Death Label (NDS)
Best value: Pinball Arcade (PSN)

Here's my list so far....will update as things come along

I've noticed my current gen systems haven't gotten much love this year. I've had so many games backlogged for the Wii, 360, and PS3 that I haven't picked up any of the cool things that have come out this year. The advantage is that they should be cheap by the time they come my way.

2600

3DS

Dreamcast
NFL 2K
Sonic Adventure

DS
Pokemon Black

Game Gear
Columns

Genesis

N64
Banjo-Kazooie
Pokemon Snap
Zelda: Majora's Mask

NES

PS2
Beyond Good & Evil
Dark Cloud
Final Fantasy XII (Collector's Ed.)
Xenosaga Ep. I

PS3
Deus Ex: Human Revolution

PSP
God of War: Chains of Olympus
God of War: Ghost of Sparta
Lunar: Silver Star Harmony
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona

SNES

I didn't buy any games between January and mid-May, but I've made up for that since then, especially in the last few days:

May 18: Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (PS3)

July 7: F-Zero (SNES), The Beatles: Rock Band (PS3), MLB Front Office Manager (PS3), Final Fantasy X (PS2), Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts (SNES), and X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse (SNES).

All three of my local used game stores were having "Buy Two, Get One Free" sales this weekend. I ended up spending about thirty-five dollars on Saturday for those six games and a new composite cable for my Dreamcast.

EDIT: I forgot to mention this:

July 8: Aero the Acro-Bat (SNES)

I picked it up for $1 at a yard sale.

Oh man. I got a pretty good find today on Craigslist. I paid $40 and got:

-An NES
-Two controllers
-A Zapper light gun
-A Game Genie with a manual/codebook with a copyright date of 1991
-A Power Pad, in box, with the Wal-Mart price sticker reading "$69.97" still intact.
-Super Mario Bros. and SMB 3
-Double Dragon
-Little Nemo: The Dream Master (boxed)
-Back to the Future
-World Class Track Meet
-Duck Tales
-Double Strike

And holy crap. I just looked in the Little Nemo box to see if the manual was in there, since the game was outside of the box for some reason, and I found... the manuals for Back to the Future, SMB3, Double Strike, Little Nemo, and the Power Pad, plus all kinds of inserts, little cards asking for Nintendo Power subscriptions, a couple of those "Now You're Playing with Power" posters, two small Capcom posters, and a manual for Sonic and Knuckles with a small insert featuring Sonic & Knuckles merchandise (?!). Wow.
