It's pretty clear, bro. He wants you to plant some sunflowers seeds, in exchange for getting a video game.

He must be some sort of bio-terrorist .

Speaking of import retro game compilations, I received a copy of Taito Legends 2 (XBOX) from the UK yesterday. As expected, it works perfectly on my NTSC Xbox; so, I now have access to Bubble Symphony, Cadash, Pop 'n Pop, and Rayforce!

I've been looking for that but it's always pricey. Having access to an arcade Cadash is certainly intriguing.

My sealed SNK 0 was $35. About $30 more than I prefer to pay for a video game but what can ya do. Now I can play the original version of Athena, and perhaps some non-shitty games as well!

I paid about the same for my copy of Taito Legends 2 (and I am super-pumpecd for Cadash...I may have to see if my wife will run through it with me...).

SNK Arcade Volume 0 is my next import compilation. I love so many of the pre-Neo Geo arcade games, and I was heartbroken when SNK cancelled the game in North America. (In addition to Athena, you should be playing Ikari Warriors, Ikari III: The Rescue, Psycho Soldier, Alpha Mission, Guerilla War, and P.O.W. All of them are solid.)

And the original Touchdown Fever (it sucks)!

Ouch, I've not been good this month...

Mario Party-e, Mystical Ninja, Sonic 3, Pokemon Tetris, Zelda, Mario Golf and Zero Mission were all eBay purchases. I've been trying to clear some of the classics I need off my wants list. Mario Party-e and Pokémon Tetris are also probably the two rarest games in my collection now!

The 3D Classics games were all part of an e-Shop sale besides Sonic, which I bought so I would own all the Wave 1 games in the series.

The two free amiibos were a trade with a friend, the 2 free DS games were a very late birthday present from the same friend. 1080 I found in a shop on my way to visit him.

The Saturn lot was another eBay purchase. I should be able to make at least half the cost back from selling off doubles and games I don't want (I already own NiGHTs, Rayman, Virtua Fighter and Athlete Kings, and I don't want F-1, Manx TT or Hard Core) meaning that I got great deal on Saturn Bomberman, Puzzle Fighter and Sonic R, with a couple of little bonuses thrown in for good measure.

Never knew this was on Saturn!
