Just want to share my May pick-ups! The games in the first image I picked-up here in NY and the second batch of games I picked up while on vacation in LA last week, as I had a chance to check out Game Tower in the Echo Park area.
RoboCop Versus The Terminator (GEN) - I originally played this game through emulator a few years back and was curious about it as I'm a fan of both franchises. Looking back on it, it's hard to believe my parents not only let me watch these movies when I was a kid, but gave me the action figures and other things from the movies. Lol.
Resident Evil 4 (PS2) - This was the last remaining game I needed from the original mainline releases! I heard this version has a bit more content than the Gamecube release, and I have most of the other RE games on Playstation consoles, so I went with this version. I plan to play RE3 for the Summer Games challenge, and hope to get to this one later in the year.
F-Zero X (N64) - I actually totally missed this game when I was younger. However, I had a friend who used to get people together for his birthday to play older games, and one year I had a chance to play this. Had a lotta fun trying it out that night and have been looking for it for a while. It's been fun going through some of the GPs!
Dinosaurs for Hire (GEN) - This game's a curiosity for me, as I'm a fan of run and guns, but this is a title I never heard of back in the day, and never came across the comic it's based on. My buddy that collects arcade cabinets up here mentioned it as one of his favorite games on the system, so figured I'd check it out. The difficulty ramps up pretty quickly but it's fun! I think it'll be even better co-op.
Jewel Master (GEN) - This is another game I tried through emulation a year or two ago and enjoyed. It's an action platformer, which is a genre I really like in the 16-bit era and the ring system adds a unique and interesting element. Also, the soundtrack was created by the same composer as the Shining games on the GEN, and he did a great job here as well.
Super Punch-Out! (SNES) - I had been looking for this game for quite a while, but I passed on it for something else multiple times. My childhood friend had this game, and I had good memories of playing it while hanging out at his house. I'm also a big fan of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out on the NES, so it's cool to finally be able to put more time into it's sucessor.
Winback: Covert Operation (N64) - I ended up checking out Winback on the online service of my partner's Switch about a month or two ago while she was running an errand. Next thing I knew I was hooked on the game. Lol. However, I don't have access to her Switch on a regular basis, so I figured I'd pick-up a copy if I came across one, which happened in LA.
