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

@Ralizah NO!! I somehow missed it and it is back to 40 Euros... That what Sony gets when they don't release Vita discounts on the Blog anymore.

The Retro Collection Mania caught me again after a lot of years. It is VERY bad for the wallet although I only collect for portable systems and they don't cost that much. You can find Game Boy / Gear games with a few Euros

@belmont Should I post here when there are sales that include Vita games? I closely monitor sales on all Sony/Nintendo platforms.

@Ralizah If it is not that of an hustle give a shout if you see Vita/Switch jap games discounted!

@Ralizah I'd rather not have you derail the thread. If you want make a thread to discuss sales and such.

Thanks.

@Tasuki "Here" meant "on this forum."

Superbeat: Xonic on Nintendo Switch (on sale for $0.89 on the eshop!)

Dragon Quest XI S: Definitive Edition preload for Nintendo Switch (the demo is so much fun)

Also picked up the discount DLC chapter to complement my recently downloaded Vita version of Spirit Hunters: Death Mark.

I've ordered a load more games, as well as preloaded Spyro, Astral Chain, Dragon Quest XI on Switch.

Also got the Blu-Rays for Doctor Who Series 9/10. Nerd.

Anyway, the additional games I have ordered are:

Crash Tag Team Racing
Crash Nitro Kart
Sonic Adventure DX
Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales
Pokemon Leaf Green
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Golden Sun

I'm a huge nerd.

@Knuckles-Fajita I think we are all huge nerds tbh!

Bought the orange box for the 360 from CEX for a fiver. Really bought it to try portal but intrigued by half life 2. Never played either so looking forward to some retro fun!

@R1spam That is a great package of games. I bought for Portal too!

@Rudy_Manchego how did you get on with it? Hoping to play portal tonight in one big binge session!!

@R1spam well I have played Portal a lot of times so worth it just for that and a great evenings Binge. Half Life 2 is good but I am a shocking gamer and never finished it..

In another topic I finally found a reasonably priced original copy of Chip N Dale for the NES. In an act of utter stupidity that I regretted the second I did it, I swapped the game for some crappy figures from something - possibly Jurassic Park when I was a kid. Finally got a boxed copy.

@R1spam Enjoy. It's an amazing collection.

@Rudy_Manchego Shocking! Go finish it at once!

Just bought jojo’s bizarre adventure all star battle and katamari forever for ps3. Excited to play both.
Although I shouldn’t buy to much and especially not expensive games like these as I’m going to a retro gaming convention in october and I’m planning to add to my ps3, psp and ds collections at that convention (hoping to find all psp persona’s, africa for ps3 and that wizard of oz JRPG for ds among other things.)

@RogerRoger I’ve finished touch my katamari and I think I dabbled into katamari damancy once. According to caddicarus katamari forever is the best and touch my katamari is the worst, and since I really liked touch my katamari I am sure I’m going to love katamari forever.

And I just realised I said katamari six times before this, now seven times.

Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force (PS2) and Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb (PS2) purchased today.

Elite Force I had before, always wanted one of the PS2 Indy games - I'm sure it's not a patch on '... the Infernal Machine', but I'm sure it'll be OK.

@RogerRoger welp, I got the wrong version so I had to send it back. Do no katamari for me. Maybe I’ll find it another day.

Just ordered Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 for the PS2 for a little over $10 brand new. Can't beat that! I won't play it right away, but I do plan on digging into it next year.

@RogerRoger I'm still a bit amazed Katamari became a long-running series. The original was perfectly lovely as a quirky PS2 game, but I wouldn't have imagined there'd be enough material for multiple sequels.

@RogerRoger Ha!

Fate of Atlantis was a game we had for the Amiga that I often tried, but was pretty crap at concentrating on as a kid. Loved Infernal Machine on PC. It was horrid on the N64, definitely not worth shelling out for!

KOTOR is obviously great, never played the second one though. Shame Star Wars Galaxies stopped, I think you'd have liked that.

There's usually a decent Star Wars bundle on steam. X-Wing/Tie Fighter/vs/Alliance are always worth a go too. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of upgrade mods out there for them now.
