My Saturn "want list" is weird. Every game is like a $100 North American title or a $10 Japanese import.
Have you looked into Dark Savior? What an odd "RPG" & mix of genres. In the Time Stalkers universe.

The cheapest RPG on the system. Very colorful & 5 different endings/paths that change the game considerably. I also dig the art style, colors pop.

Picked up physical copies of both of these for just £5. Great deal in that both these games and indie game the movie cost less than it would to buy Indie Game the Movie or Orcs Must Die individually on steam.

Yeah I have that one. Neat game.

There are some other Saturn RPGs that are actually affordable - Legend of Oasis, Virtual Hydlide, Blazing Heroes... not to mention the scores of Japanese games.

Even if I venture out today or tomorrow I don't think I'm going to acquire anything so here goes March in the order I nabbed them.

Blast Corps - manual - N64
Boom Blox - complete - Wii
Sin & Punishment Star Successor - complete - Wii
Fortified Zone - complete - Gameboy
X-Kaliber 2097 - manual (is now complete) - SNES
Pocky & Rocky - manual (is now complete) - SNES
Seicross - manual (is now complete) - NES
Air Fortress - box (is now complete) - NES
Star Force - box (is now complete) - NES
Street Fighter 2010 - box - NES
Vattle Giuce - cart - J Gameboy
Imperium - complete - SNES

Ignoring shipping I spent $153 for the month, most on the last 2 games. Sold some things which drops output to about half that and need to add my loose Imperium cart to the trade pile.

Shadow of the Colossus- Another classic I missed out on. I thought about getting the HD version, but I didn't want to stress about trophies (once I start a game with trophies my OCD forces me to go for the platinum) plus I heard the controls are kind of wonky. So....I decided to get the original version.
Nice! It is a smart choice if you have the trophy OCD since the achievements are really tough to achieve. Lots of speed running colossi.
Yes, my OCD Trophy 'addicting' is annoying sometimes. I'd be lying if I said it has no bearing on my decision to play a game or not. It's pathetic.

Well that is the thing...I tend to be a collector in a lot of games, trying to find all the hidden items and secrets and the like, so it is helpful when a game rewards you for it with a trophy or achievement. For me though, I love games that have unique and different achievements that force you to do something out of the ordinary, like getting a huge bounty on your head in every city in Skyrim. It made me create a strategy and plan my crime spree throughout the country and gave me an awesome and entertaining divergence. It does make a difference sometimes, although not one that goes into my purchasing decisions.


On topic though. I acquired three games in my run to a flea market. This was my first time at a flea market and I was just browsing, but couldn't pass up this oppertunity.

Grabbed Bushido Blade (missing manual), Soul Blade (just the disc in a generic case) for PS1 and a CIB Aladdin for the Genesis for a whopping $5 total. Can't complain about that.
