I have been waiting to get my hands on one of these things since I first saw it demoed at E3 last year. The portable Super Nintendo has long been a dream of mine, and many other video game fans. Sure, there was that FC-16, but from most accounts I saw it was kind of [...]

I recently came into a bit of a windfall when I sold an Ebay score for 20 times what I paid. I spent an entire day trying to decide exactly what from my long and storied Ebay watch list I would finally move on, and in the end I decided to bolster my already impressive Chrono Trigger [...]

Famicom Disk Pirates
Posted in Art of Collecting, Featured Article on February 16, 2012 | 4 Comments »
In my humble estimation, the only thing greater than Famicom pirate cartridges, with their colourful casings, strange shapes and stranger games, are Famicom Disk System pirate disks. The Famicom Disk System (primer here) was Nintendo’s first dabble in over-writeable storage media. Being essentially over-writeable floppy discs. In fact, Nintendo even encouraged this practice with its disk kiosks, set up [...]

I have been getting lots of deals lately, especially (and strangly) in the wild. I though I would make a post that covers the last few weeks. Again, I didn’t pay much for any of these, and the money that I did pay I got mostly with trade credit. Ys Seven collector’s edition (PSP) – [...]

As a kid I never actually own a Game Boy. I was one of the “turncoats” who went straight from the NES to the SEGA Genesis in Sonic the Hedgehog’s brilliant blue wake. That is not to say that I didn’t ever play any Game Boy games at the time. I had this good friend [...]
Which Final Fantasy is Best? *Update*
Posted in Featured Article, Lists, tagged best, final fantasy, square on February 7, 2012 | 1 Comment »
It’s high time I updated one of the most scrutinized posts I have published since I started writing this blog over 4 years ago… There has been only one new release in the Final Fantasy series since the original publishing date (in the main series, that is. We don’t speak of the MMOs around these parts and [...]

This is a collection of gets from the past few weeks mostly. I have been getting a lot of crazy good deals lately… I didn’t spend more than $5 on any one of these games… so I am ready to call that a victory. We begin with my old mistress, the Famicom; Ikki is a [...]
