Random Gaming Thoughts

I think it's nice you guys are thinking about him, but I doubt Dave is interested.

Thanks all (and AJ) That's why I come here.

What DS games do you already have?

I just started collecting. Here's what I got so far.

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
Brain Age
Brain Age 2
Clubhouse Games
Feel the Magic: XY/XX
Ghostbusters (came with the DS I bought)
Nervous Brickdown
Touchmaster
Trauma Center: Under The Knife

I also have Point Blank DS coming from Amazon.

What genres are you interested in for DS? You could say I know a wee bit about its library. I know an insane amount about its library.

You helped me find the right DS Lite, so I'll trust your recommendations. I've read the game guides on the site here. Locally I did ok with the 8 games I bought so far, but there are over 2000 games available, and most of what I can find here are all those licensed/kids/instructional games. Ugh. Anything like FPS, racing, action, platformer, pinball, shmups, stuff like that really. I'll consider anything. I'm really enjoying what I got so far.

It's really annoying when you're on eBay searching "arcade video game marquee" and two out of every three items is a fridge magnet. Like it's completely ruining my search. If anyone knows how to filter out words let me know.

Have you tried "-magnet"?

I just did thanks for the assist.

Does anyone know where I can find a custom light box for an arcade marquee? I don't think I want to make one myself, and I don't want an existing one from a machine, just a box that's wired and ready to go.

No problem

If you want to look for some good DS games, check out my DS library on my Backloggeyr page. You can see what rating I gave them and might get some ideas for stuff to get. I have about 90 games for the system.

Nice looking games there Ex! I also watched the DS Hidden Gems videos from Metal Jesus today and he had a few of those on there. I'll be on the look out for those, thanks!

I also watched the DS Hidden Gems/ I'll be on the look out for those, thanks!

To be clear; I did not in any way go into the hidden gems available on the system. Only the heavy hitters in the genres you said you were interested in. After you play through the top tier obvious stuff, ask me sometime and I'll recommend some obscure b-tier (but still good) games.
