I stuck this in the wrong thread the other day, so I'll try again. Anyone have any good sites for picking up Wonderswan/Color and Neo Geo Pocket/Color games? Also, does anyone know if eStarland ship outside the US? I ain't getting a reply from them.

So I just found out about the awesomeness that is FarCry3 Blood Dragon. Do want, very much do want.

Pretty sure eStarland ships out of the US. And yes, they carry NGPC games as you've probably noticed.

WonderSwan games are tougher to find. Probably gonna have to order them individually from eBay/Amazon.

Ta', sir. I seem to have secured a NGPC at just about the time after those blister packs disappear off the 'net.

I'm not a huge fan of Beat 'em ups, but I got a strange urge to play some today. I may go with the Streets of Rage or Golden Axe series, as I barely remember renting them as a kid. May also revisit Comix Zone, because I recall actually enjoying that one.

It is, very cool beat-em up concept. But it's also as tough as nails. Barely any health regen, and the part that really annoys me is there are parts where you have to beat up a barrel or wall to continue, yet it takes your health to do so. WTF?

Streets of Rage is by far the best of all of those.
