...awesome, I heard the Limited Run store opening was a good time. I really wish I could have made it down there from VA as they had plenty of things I had missed like Dust and The Messenger. It looks like you made some very solid additions to your library though.ElkinFencer10 wrote:I went to the Limited Run Games retail store grand opening yesterday. Mistakes were made.

Nice copy of Raiden, I love the color scheme on the box art. I suck at shmups, but that one is easy to get into and not too hard considering the genre. Nice pickupsNote wrote:2022 Pick-ups:

Just want to share my April pick-ups! Scooped a nice mix of games this month IMO, one or two that are oddities that I wanted to finally try, and a few that I have childhood memories with from either renting, or playing at my friend's place.
Revelations: Persona (PS1) - I have to say thanks to Maru on the smooth transaction for this game. Persona is a title that my childhood buddy had, and we spent a few weekends binging through it. At the time, I thought the game had a really cool vibe, as I hadn't seen many RPGs that took place in a modern setting. I'm looking forward to finally revisiting this one and diving into it all over again.
Gunfighter: The Legend of Jesse James (PS1) - This game is an oddity for me, as I just learned of it a few years ago. This is a light gun shooter with a cover system, very similar to Time Crisis. The game is also compatible with the Namco Guncon, which is a big plus IMO, because that light gun has great accuracy. The graphics aren't the best for the PS1, but the gameplay's quite fun.
Raiden Trad (GEN) - I'm a big fan of the Raiden series, and am attempting to track down most of the home ports. I had not played this version of the game back in the day, but I've been on the lookout for it for quite some time. As I've mentioned multiple times, I'm not too good at shoot 'em ups, but I made it to Level 4 on my first attempt. I'm hoping I can continue to learn the patterns in the various stages and beat it!
Soul Blazer (SNES) - Soul Blazer's also a title I had not heard of back when it was released. But after finding out about it a few years ago, I really wanted to try it. Actraiser is one of my favorite games on the SNES, and that game basically made me want to check out all of Enix's other releases on the system. I'm also a huge fan of action RPGs, so I feel like Soul Blazer's right in my wheel house. Can't wait to play through it later this year.
Wave Race 64 (N64) - Wave Race was the first game I rented on the N64 shortly after I got the system with Super Mario 64. Good times checking it out with my neighbor, and getting a feel for what the N64 was capable of. I've wanted a copy for some time but just always overlooked it. Will be fun to check this one out again as well!
...all of the copies of Dust were gone over last weekend. The idea of a Limited Run physical store seems very cool and frustrating at the same timeElkinFencer10 wrote:I know The Messenger was in high demand and low supply, but they had a decent number of copies of Dust
Awesome pick-ups as usual, Syndicate! I've enjoyed the other Mickey Mouse games on the Genesis but haven't played Mickey Mania yet. The game footage looks good though. Will need to check that out sometime.Syndicate wrote: ...April was pretty good for adding to the collection, I was unreasonably geeked about finding a clean copy of Mickey Mania at a great price w/an additional 10% off as well. I passed on the Sega CD version and another clean CIB Genesis copy a few years ago and had been kicking myself in the arse ever since.
Yeah, the box art is one of the stranger covers on the Genesis, IMO. It's a weird combo of colors, but I like it too. I'm also not good at shmups, so I'm fine with grabbing some easier ones.
