Tecmo Classic Arcade on Xbox.... how did I not know this existed?! Found it today and just had to have it. Picked up a couple of other compilations too - Capcom Classics Mini Mix and Konami Collector's Series: Arcade Advanced. I adore these retro arcade comps. So much fun.

I also picked up a complete Back to Stone (GBA) for around eight bucks. It's been opened, but it's in great shape, looks like it's never been played. Thought I scored a great deal, but there are new copies on Amazon for $.01 plus shipping! It's some sort of WRPG apparently.

What era and games does the Konami one focus on?

Old stuff.

Frogger
Scramble
Time Pilot
Gyruss
Yie Ar Kung Fu
Rush'n Attack

Dang. Not enticing enough for me to search it out. Maybe if I come across it for dirt cheap somewhere. I was hoping for late 80s and 90s stuff.

For a slightly more modern Konami compilation check out Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits for the DS.

Unless it started going up for some reason, the GBA comp is dirt cheap. I bought a brand new sealed one a few years ago for about $6 off ebay and they were plentiful. I'm pretty sure when I'd see it at GS at the end of them stocking GBA, the loose cart was probably only $2-3 even there.

Old stuff.

Frogger
Scramble
Time Pilot
Gyruss
Yie Ar Kung Fu
Rush'n Attack

Good old stuff.

Only bad thing - high scores not saved.

Tip - on each game's title screen, input the Konami Code. You'll get a different effect on each game (effects behind tag)

Frogger - enhanced graphics & sound
Scramble - choice of 3 ships & enhanced graphics/sound
Time Pilot - rapid fire & extra prehistoric stage after clearing AD 2010
Gyruss - Extra "black hole" stages at game start, when clear, receive permanent double fire for entire game
Yie Ar Kung Fu - Extra "Fighting History" series
Rush'n Attack - extra lives

Got one of those bootlegs SNES games, it has:

Captain america and the avengers (ugh)
Batman Returns (YEAH!)
Final fight Guy (YEAH!)
The First Samurai (it's cool)
Ultra Man (ugh)

So 2 good games and a (so far from what i played) a decent one. All in exchange of a third party N64 controller pak. I must say is the best multi cart i got so far and for some reason final fight guy on this one is uncensored, poison and roxy are in there and Damnd and Soddom have their original names.

My boss bought me Scribblenauts: Unlimited for coming in today when it was snowing so much. I guess it was worth coming in today.

Came in the mail today!



I already have the original, Final Fantasy: Adventure. I hope the remake is good!

Seems I caught the Neo Geo bug pretty bad haha, over the past two months I have aquired almost all the neo geo games I ever wanted. Was actually quite surprised how relatively affordable it has been, only a handful were over $50 and none over $100

........so those are MVS? I'd like to get into that sometime in 2014.
