Damn that is impressive!
Is Congo Bongo one of those cool Sega carts like Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom?

Thanks! Congo Bongo is one of the Sega "grip case" carts just like Buck Rogers.
Since I have been collecting for the 2600, I found this great resource at atariage describing all of the 2600 cart and label variants:
https://atariage.com/system_labels.html?SystemID=2600
There are so many great sub-sets for that system, and I have spent a lot of time using this guide to fill out my "want list".
Re: Games Acquired 2013
That's a lot of stuff for one month to add piece by piece. How big were the largest lots you picked up in one go?

Re: Games Acquired 2013
I picked up about forty 2600 games through two purchases/trades with other members, and I purchased a lot of fifty-eight 2600 games from Craigslist for $60. I also grabbed another eleven 2600 games at an antique mall in another part of the state. All in all it was a very big month for my 2600 collection, and I had to pick another bin to store all of my games...

Re: Games Acquired 2013
Last day of the month, updating time:
Previous months:
January: £21.30 - 5 games
February: £2.09 - 2 games
March: £34.57 - 10 games
Consoles - 1 - £290
April
Super Aleste SNES - £6.21
Diddy Kong Racing N64 - £6
Fantastic Dizzy MD - £5.91
Fire Emblem: Awakening 3DS - £29.81
Kirby's Adventure Wii U VC - 30p
Liberation Maiden 3DS eShop - £4.49
Aero Porter 3DS eShop - £2.69
Crimson Shroud 3DS eShop - £4.49
Mario Kart 64 N64 - £9.99
Total: £69.89 - 9 games
Oh dear, this was an expensive month considering how broke I am. Except it wasn't really.
Fire Emblem I actually ordered and paid for in February, but it only released this month. Diddy Kong Racing, Super Aleste and next months' Together Retro game Fantastic Dizzy were all paid for using money I made from selling a few of my older games I didn't like (Ultimate Ghosts n' Goblins, Scribblenauts, Wild 9, Sim City 2000), so didn't really set me back any. The prices for all 3 include postage costs too (about £3 each).
Kirby's Adventure was this months 30p Virtual Console game, the 3 Guild 01 games on eShop were purchased during a sale. Nintendo really is making me spend more on eShop than I anticipated
.
Lastly, Mario Kart 64 I found in a local game shop, and the price was a little bit cheaper than eBay prices, especially factoring postage, so I thought I'd jump on it as it was one of the most obvious missing games for my N64 library.

Re: Games Acquired 2013
Finally decided to spend a few bucks and start my Genesis collection. Feels good to post here! Note: a lot of these are of the "I used to own them" variety. I probably won't play some of them more than once but I wanted to work on my old collection from when I was a kid while building a collection in general.
Ren & Stimpy (in box with manual)
The Lion King (in box, no manual)
Carts only:
Captain America & The Avengers ($10 for this, think I got jobbed but oh well)
RBI Baseball '93
Joe Montana Sports Talk Football
NHL Hockey
NHL '95
Bulls & Blazers in the NBA Playoffs
World of Illusion starring Mickey and Donald
Street Fighter II Championship Edition
A few others I actually can't remember lol
Nothing special and maybe a bit bland but wanted to make that maiden post! I was excited to land a couple games in box, as I'll probably stick to local stores and abstain from eBay and whatnot.
