Topic: Recent Retro/Misc Gaming Purchases? (Not PS4/PS5)

@themcnoisy: You need to talk to @SuperKMx over at PureXbox. He built a rather impressive one.

I might need to replace my PS3's Blu-Ray Disc Drive again for the second time soon, or worst case scenario buy another PS3.

Otherwise, I've lately been using my usual video game money for art commissions on deviantART instead.

Picked this up today for $6.99

I got the Devil May Cry HD collectoin. I played through the first one and it was awesome. I'm on the second one now and it seems like it's not as good (though some improvements are made), but it's still worth playing (I've just started it though). Playing the first one is enough for me to hope they make a proper DMC5 now. Not by Ninja Theory mind you.

Ok another retro goodie for me

I finally picked up this on Genesis which makes me happy cause now I can play SF II without having to deal with shoulder buttons. I don't like having to use L and R or L2/R2 for attacks in fighting games and since most consoles have 4 face buttons it's hard for me to play SFII unless I want to spend 100 bucks on an arcade stick, which is why I love the Sega Genesis six button controller.

So now I have another copy of SFII to add to my collection as well.

Alright another Genesis Goody

This game is more of a nostalgia purchase as this was the second Genesis game I ever owned. Back when I got my Genesis one Christmas morning my dad also got this game cause he was a boxing fan and a Street Fighter Clone. This game turned out to be real good. It had a career mode where you can create your own boxer which just amazed me at the time. It also played really well and the two player mode was alot of fun.

I been looking for this game for awhile but all I found were cart only copies online. Well today I found this C.I.B. copy at my local thrift store for pretty much what online places were charging for cart only. It even has the poster in there of upcoming Genesis games.

Alundra 2 for PS1, Ever Grace for PS2, and the great but pretty old Tai Fu: wrath of the tiger on PS1 too

Well another purchase for the Xbox

@Tasuki: I'm curious, what does your entire original Xbox collection look like?

@Jaz007: It's pretty small right now since I only have had the system for a few months now. Also some third party games that I have on other systems like GTA: Vice City I won't get for obvious reasons so I am sticking too exclusives with the exception of Soul Caliber II unless I don't have the game on another system then I might get it. Anyway I have the following games

Star War Knights of the Old Republic
Jade Empire
Fable: The Lost Chapters
D&D Heroes
Soul Caliber II (got it mainly for Spawn)
Halo
Halo 2
Project Gotham Racing

All of those games were less then 20 bucks with the exception of Halo and Halo 2, a friend gave me those since he bought digital copies of them on his Xbox 360.

There are a few games I want to get still like KotOR 2 but right now I am saving for a trip to Portland Oregon in a few months.

Picked up Zone of the Enders HD Collection & Metal Gear Rising for my 360 at GameStop last Sunday.

I just ordered Heavenly Sword (PS3) for $23.98 New from Amazon, looking forward to finally playing it.

@ToddlerNaruto: you've been had, that price is mental! In the UK you can get a preowned copy for £2.50 ($3.86)!!

@SteveButler2210: I know that Heavenly Sword is cheaper used/pre-owned.

I purposely chose to buy a new version, to guarantee that it'll play fine without any problems.

@ToddlerNaruto: to be honest I've never had any problems with preowned games, and normally there will be a guarantee still so you can return it it doesn't work.

I do see your point, but if you can save that much money on it I figure it's worth a shout, as nowadays they're pretty good at checking the condition of the game before they will sell it!

Just purchased Lost Planet: Extreme Condition (360) on Amazon. It should get here within the next couple weeks.

Too be honest this purchase is long overdue. I've wanted to play it for a very long time, but just never got around to it, lol.

@SteveButler2210: I almost never buy pre owned games but am happy to by DVDs off ebay. I had a game on the 360 and the copy was scratched in particular area of the disc. Game played fine until a cut scene bam game crashed, disc made weird sounds disc read error. 30 hours in on Blue Dragon 🐲 took that back and another swapped for another game which never run at all.

I miss carts.

Purchased Battle Fantasia (360) on Amazon.

It looks like a decent little fighter, and a good way to kill some time if I only have a few minutes to spare.

@RR529: I bought that game a few months ago when it was on sale on XBL. It's actually a really fun fighting game and if you like anime I am sure you will enjoy it alot.

Yeah, I actually first heard about it when I saw you mention it on NL, and after looking up a couple of reviews, I decided I'd get it myself eventually.
