I wish I could say I was a hardcore retro nerd but I typically dump the roms and play them on my PC. I do have a SFC with a Super Game Boy 2 for the ultra-retro-nerd bonus gaming sessions, but I don't have a lot of time to dedicate on my CRT setup. When I've got more space I will definitely have the SFC w/SGBC 2 on stand-by at all times.
Speaking of Game Boy games on PC, I've just recently purchased on of these:
https://www.epilogue.co/product/gb-operatorIt allows you to play GB games on PC but the main reason I got it is because you can use it to dump save files - pretty nice for when you want to replace batteries, or if you want to restart a game with only one save slot without losing your original data!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this. This is the type of stupid stuff that you mostly only really get with retro games I think.

"kill X monsters" or "get X gold") but can be pretty hard later in the game. It's also very import friendly in that the Japanese text is minimal; most of the game uses icons instead of text. I know RPGs weren't as popular outside of Japan but it feels like a game that deserved an international release.
Thanks for this - it sounds interesting. I enjuoyed reading your review in the Games Beaten thread too! Definitely one I'll be keeping my eye on!

Anyway, I took some pictures of it, and I hope you enjoy them!
I very much did - and I have a few I'd love to hear more about. If you have time to offer your thoughts on these, I'd appreciate it!:
- Altered Space
- Adventure Island
- Castlevania Legends
- Blaster Master Boy
- Blaster Master: Enemy Below
- Crystalis
- Heroes of Might & Magic
- Go Go Tank
- Legend of the River King
- Lufia
- Maru's Mission
- Nail & Scale
- Rolan's Curse (1)
- Perfect Dark
There's a few I couldnt recognise too, what are they:
- Game between Bill & Ted & Bionic Commando
- Game to the left of Balloon Kid
- Game Left of Dragon's Lair
- Game to the left of Klax
- Game below Motocross Maniacs
- Game left of Nail & Scale
- Game between Quest & Radar Mission
- Game to the right of Toobin'
- Game to the right of Trax
- Most of the Japanese titles
Finally, there's also a lot of games in your collection I wouldn't think to pick up based on the name or cover. Any standouts in there that you'd recommend that we might not know about?
