Thought I’d throw this in here. Been buying up some rally/racing games lately.
I didn’t know about Lotus Challenge on Gamecube. Total surprise when I saw it. Affordable too! Has to be super rare. Not sought after though. Love me some racing, especially that Dreamcast/PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era stuff because it was sufficiently arcadey all across the board.
Kikikaikai arrived today but I’ve got not time to pay it 
Hopefully I can get some time on it this coming Sunday.
I shall be hibernating until… late June. Enjoy 
does it have English support?
No idea. I’ve not had a chance to play it yet.
It does have english. A strange thing though, is the story text often transitions to the next bit of text too fast to read it all. Maybe something they’ll improve with patches or the later western release.
Picked up an IKEA picture frame on the weekend, it’s been fun to finally get to see how some old posters look framed
Some serious quality there.
The next in my seemingly endless parade of ‘new retro related release with the originals’: The Kunio collection!
I have all the Famicom originals except the very expensive Basketball. Can’t wait to play the Japanese brawlers in English! And play the sports games for five minutes each…
…maybe a bit longer for the Dodgeball ones.
My larger Kunio/River City set family photo. I should really complete the set.
Thank you, I’m trying to grab all these great DS games before it’s too late. Collecting for the DS has been so much fun, and I will never miss a chance to speak highly of the DSi XL.
Massive gaming pick-ups video this month with over 40 games and some nice PS1 games, new games and hardware.
Went to my preferred game shop and noticed that the pedestrian bridge that was surrounded by trees is now treeless. No more Tarzan feels for me
Did manage to get two games. One I’ve been idling chasing for a while and another I thought why not.
I had a demo disc of Omega Boost and always wanted to give it more of a crack. Now I can!
Oh and finally, not a game, but bought from a capsule machine:
Pac-Man Battle Royale is absolutely worth finding in an arcade with some friends to play it with. Good times!
I finally have a working PlayStation 2 from Japan! It even includes a broadband apapter/hard disk drive. Paid approximately the same as I did for the other two that had issues. Very happy to finally be square with this stuff. Best of all… MIDNIGHT BLUE.
It needs a permanent home and a cleanup. I wanted to be sure everything was working before doing all the rearranging needed. It came from Japan so it’s still in really good condition overall.
My collection of games expanded while I got this all straightened out. I know a few more things I’m after, but this was a really good start. I have waited as long as 27 years to play some of these.
I’ve played everything and am real happy with it all. Sega Rally 2006 is loaded with short courses and definitely straddles the line between home game and arcade game. I can see why people weren’t as high on it, but I kinda love it so far because it’s not trying to be more than it is… an arcade game that has a large number of short courses for longevity at home. The color is muted compared to the prior games, but that’s par for the course in 2006. Seemingly every game was black and brown and grey back then. Make it gritty or don’t make it at all didn’t jive with Sega style all that well. Anyway, I dig it. Some bangers on the soundtrack too…
More goodies today… I think they mis-priced the CIB turtles game as if it’s cart only. Happy to pick it up for only $30 CAD!
as a marvel fanboy, this is so co cool
