Also, Klonoa 2 is a lot of fun. Stunning graphics. It isn’t as good as the original game, and it’s not as challenging too. Still, I enjoyed it and hope you do too!


I had read a blurb from Retro Gamer Magazine that ranked it at #3 in their article about the 25 best light gun games, so when I came across it, I was inclined to grab it! May look into getting a second Guncon, so my partner and I can play it co-op.

Glad to hear you enjoyed Klonoa 2! Looking forward to checking it out.

I think I did alright, Space Invaders '91 and Viewpoint both seem well reviewed and I'm always looking for Genesis games for the collection so I grabbed both. My SMS collection grew a bit w/Penguin Land, I've wanted to check this one out since I first saw it on a Master System poster. I've been waiting on Espagaluda II and Liar Princess for a bit, so it was cool to see those finally arrive. I picked up Populous for my kids to try out, I've always enjoyed the Genesis classic and figured a slightly modernized version would be cool to check out.


Awesome pick-ups, Syndicate! I've played a bit of Viewpoint through emulation and enjoyed what I played. Pretty unique game on the console, IMO. I haven't played Space Invaders '91, but heard it was good arcade fun. I'll have to look into it! Also, I really like the cover art for the game.

If it’s #3, what we’re #1 and #2?

Also, I found a CIB Legion: The Legend of Excalibur at a coffee shop this morning. It is a true PS2 exclusive since it was, apparently, never ported to any other system or to PCs. Contemporaneous reviews were middling, but it was only $2.00. Also, the cover art is metal AF. :lol:

With that acquisition, I’ve picked up 100 physical games this year! I have another on the way from eBay, and I’m heading to a collector’s swap meet on Saturday. Here’s hoping for 200 by year end!

The author of the article had Point Blank at #2, and Ghost Squad ranked at #1. I've played Point Blank in arcades and found it to be really fun. Looking to track that one down as well. I've never played Ghost Squad before, but there's a Wii port and looks like it's cheap.

Video games for sale at the coffee shop? Lol, that's new to me! Good luck on the quest to 200!

The eShop had Wolfenstein Youngblood and Doom Eternal on sale, along with the rest of Bethesda's Switch offerings. I bought both, the latter being the Deluxe Edition. I dipped into my Gold Coins so I didn't pay a thing for Youngblood and payed only around half of its current price for Doom Eternal.

My only issue is that with games of this size, I STRONGLY prefer physical releases since iirc only the update data gets put onto the microSD card. Except in the case of the Bioshock trilogy, where a good portion of each game has to be downloaded.

I also recently got the Genesis game Astebros, which I backed on Kickstarter. Aside from the ROM file, my pledge also gets me a code for the Switch version when it releases.

I stopped by a video game swap at a local bar-cade, and I picked up:

A Game of Concentration (2600)
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue (PS1: CIB but missing pendant)
Mega Man Zero/ZX Collection (Switch; CIB)

The 2600 game is one of the variants I need to complete my “text label” collection., and I think I now have all the PS1 Working Designs cardboard box games. (I need to check on that though.)

EDIT: I do have them all! The only Working Designs games I need for my PS1 collection are Elemental Gearbolt and Thunder Force V.

Nice finds at the game swap, prfsnl! I need to make an effort to try to find out about more events like this in my area. Out of the WD cardboard box games, I'm missing the Arc the Lad Collection set. Missed out on one that came up near me, but maybe I'll find another later in the year or next.

Some good stuff here, Elk! Have you tried Back 4 Blood yet? Just curious, as my partner and I finished both the Left 4 Dead games and have been curious about that one as well.

Yeah, actually, it's one of the reviews I've neglected to write lmao. I'll be posting my review of that in the Games Beaten thread on Wednesday.

I added Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA for the Nintendo 64 this evening!

I was looking for a new N64 game to add and I came across Rush 2. It had been a long time since I beat the original San Francisco Rush on the N64 and I had an itch to pick up another racing game. Also, I know I had further games in the series, so I decided now was a good time to try my hand at the series again. Sometimes, you just want a quick and simple game from a quick and simple pick-up. :D
