I didn't realize that Hudson had released a bunch of compilations in Japan... Too bad we didn't see these in the States...

That was also released for Super Famicom as Caravan Shooting Collection.

Very nice.

I am somewhat obsessed with game compilations.

I'm thinking Vagrant Story would be a good game for Demon's/Dark Souls fans and vice versa.

If the Souls game did have music I can't help but think that Hitoshi Sakimoto's stuff would fit perfectly.

So my Luigi's Mansion copy has arrived from the USA. It costed me a total of $47 including shipping. No wonder people pirate. I just realised I payed $13 less than when this game was brand new 13 years ago.

after I tried to skimp on price by buying a copy for $30 from a merchant named Gamer Girlz Online, after about a week they sent me an email saying the game is flawed and does not work. After wasting a week of my life, I decided to go for the higher priced "like new" one. Better safe than sorry.

Now that I got pulled back into retro gaming by getting a snes and a genesis for free, I cant decide on where to start buying games on which console first. Or maybe just wait till the summer to buy games when I hope people stop buying games and realize that there is life outside of their homes and go outside to the beach lol. I notice that games do go down in price a little during the spring and summer because people need to save for vacations, cookouts etc.
I'm kind of happy that I have the snes and genesis. I just need to really think of what I want to play for these games and not impulse or hoard games. I just need to stay away from the flea markets and craigslist and thrift stores.
The really good thing is except for the ninja turtles games for both consoles, I'm not into rpg's or any rare games so that kills all the expensive titles for me

Also, it's all your fault, but I have a complete copy of Super Star Force on the way now. I've looked at the game before and never did bite. :lol:

Any one wonders why game publishers do not re-print retro/older titles? I know it will not workout for every title, ex.. Monkey Escape/RE1 , but I have a good feeling that some titles are highly sought after like Bangai O(DC), Metroid Trilogy (Wii), Marvel vs Capcom 2 .

Retro gaming and collection is on the rise, is it not worthwhile to reprint these and sell like 10k copies for $20 each? I trie ebay these games are selling at arond $50 used!

Collector's don't want to purchase reprints or emulations of games. They want the original.

I love how Dennis Rodman has green hair in NBA Live 97 on the Saturn. Need to see if the Genesis version gave him green hair too.
