@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

It took me about five years to find a complete one for a decent price  :-".
PS: I think it's one of the Top 10 Famicom titles and worth the search/price.

I am assuming that is the cartridge version? I have a complete FDS copy. Are they basically identical in-game?

A few pickups.  Went on a Playstation 1 back in high school nostalgia trip....  Horrible pic quality.

If its not visible enough.  Gigawing PCB (batt converted to keystone holder, changed in 09, new batt on the way though)  Jet moto 1-3 and Cool Boarders 2-4

Yes it's the cartridge version. As far as I know there are few minor (graphical) changes/fixes and the sound was changed to fit a cart but apart from that it's the same game. The major difference is that you can get the FCD version WAY cheaper/easier  :) (but I don't have a FCD because this system tend to fail a lot  :?).

Nice Gigawing  =D&gt;

16-bit Castlevanias have rarely had prettier backgrounds than Dracula X68k. Fine choice indeed.

...and don't forget to crank the audio and play with the different sound options. You can activate these but holding R1 + L1 + Start + Select at the title screens. Have fun! :D

Pokemon stadium 2 for the 64.
keeping that train going, plus, I've never actually played the 2nd pokemon stadium, despite loving the minigames in the first one.
(I still have never won a single battle on pokemon stadium, ever. :cry:)

today I finally acquired Rainbow Islands!  Did this game have a low print run or something, I don't see it pop up too often...

also I was lucky to find a Super 2 in 1 pirate hucard.  some might think bootlegs are junk, but i'm kind of fascinated by them.

I don't know; it's been expensive forever, but it's been turning up cheaper lately.

Team Innocent $0.01 + $8.00 shipping
Battle Heat $1.25 + $5.00 shipping
Not too shabby, would have liked to have cases with inserts, but for the price who could complain?

PCEngineHell

I beat Battle Heat quite a few times LameKat. Really enjoyed it. Being able to play that one for $6.25 is a steal in your case. Have fun with it. Once you learn how to fight on it, it handles fairly well.

I was looking at a copy of oh Ni no Kun today at Target. I couldn't afford it though. :(

Is that the collectors edition (of Ni No Kuni)? Game looks completely amazing; I need to pick that up but have zero time to play it.

I would grab it now while you can. One day it may be another overpriced game similar to what is happening to PS2 games now.

The movie was the limited edition DVD distributed by Manga Video.

http://www.listal.com/dvd/akira-8449

The DVDs are marked as 'Sample Disk' and the set came with sticker sheet.

There's so much that gets cut out from the manga to make that movie, it really needed to be 3x longer

bust3dstr8

Picked up a nice condition Warriors of Fate that was dead. It just needed the usual Qsound and C-board
fixes.

I had no idea Minesweeper was going to be sealed, especially considering what I paid for it. It's demand is pretty nonexistent- so there is no need keeping it sealed, correct?

Mathius

There isn't any reason at all, IMO, to keep a game sealed. All games need to be played and enjoyed. :)

If you are looking for a CD drive Keith Courage had a few refurbs up for grabs.

Yeah, one of the best series ever! LucasArts games were always my favorites among PC gaming, but the first two MI are the best of the whole bunch.

Man I remember playing the DOS versions of these when I was 11 or 12. MI2 is such a great game.

I downloaded and beat Monkey Island 1 for the iOS on my last trans-atlantic flight - lots of memories with that one.
