Speaking of Commodore, I got this today......

My first Amiga CD32 game.

It's single-disc, but was packaged in a double-disc case to accommodate the huge ass instruction booklet.

Not a bad golf game!

I actually really like this console, I'll have to start looking into more titles - maybe some shmups and RPGs.

My newest game-related acquisitions:

360 games that I found for $1 each

Xbox and Gamecube games
Image

PC and PS1 games

I just realized I should probably update the PS1 section of my collection thread.

Couple very nice game-guides. I really don't care too much about cheat books, but this one had the PSM logo on it and some reviews in the back. And the Lord of the Rings book still has the poster in it.

Kings Quest V and, what may be my second most favorite pick-up this month, a very minty box of Mario Teaches Typing :lol: (The IBM/Tandy version)

^ some great stuff above. RDR is maybe my favorite of this generation and I really enjoyed Hitman Blood Money as well.

I've pretty much been skunked the last two weeks. Not that I hit it insanely hard, but last weekend I got Van Helsing for the Xbox just cuz it looked so bad (im dabbling in creating YouTube videos) and that's been it.

Nice!

Did it come with both 3.5" and 5.25" floppies?

It has two 3.5" and one 5.25" floppy. I've been looking online and as far as I can tell, that's all it's supposed to come with? At least, people who show pictures of the "complete" game only seem to have one 5.25" shown. I'm not sure though. It's quite possible the world is lying to me :lol:

That's strange! It "should" be the other way around - as more data can fit onto a 3.5" disk I believe. Unless of course, the 3.5" disks contain a slightly different "version" of the game (maybe with enhanced graphics, video, whatever).

Anyway, hop on DOSBox (or real DOS) and fire it up!

Picked up the OCEAN version, which is closer to the arcade and the standard PAL release of Rainbow Islands at a flea market today, it was resellers everywhere, it cost me $15, which is about the right price, which I usually don't pay for game, but I really had a urge to play it, so I gave in and bought it.

It could be an HD 5.25 and 2 DD 3.5 disks.

Wow! You just got the greatest game ever made, for $1! (Oblivion) Congrats! The GOTY version is better as it includes all the PC expansions, but you can't complain for $1.
