Yeah, that was always weird to us even as kids, as we got the first four games and the Gameboy game within a 12-18 month timespan. So the difference between the cover art was a bit weird to us.
Show me your Retro gaming collections!

I've grown to love Bad Box Art Mega Man so much over the years, though...
Finally got my replacement Hyperstone heist case in yesterday! woot! It makes that old rental cart look great!
Sadly, not much to report in my monthly trip to Game Exchange. I just grabbed a complete copy of Spore Creatures for the DS for $6.
I just ordered Castlevania IV from ebay last night. It and a game case should be here in a few days. I already have it in a couple different ways: SNES-mini and the Konami Collection. But I've been wanting a physical version for a while now and I've been on a Castlevania kick ever since the Dominus collection dropped. So I bit the bullet and bought it. Can't wait!
When I saw the Dominus collection I knew Limited Run would do something. Castlevania is one of my top five favorite franchises, so I'm basically getting the cash together to buy that ultimate collection LR is doing. ^^;
Well, I finally broke down and picked up a copy of Rescue Rangers for the NES off of Ebay. It was only $18 shipped, so I thought that would probably be the best deal I would get on one.

Honestly that sounds like a very good deal.
I swear that the only places I find deals at anymore are Ebay and Game Exchange.
Some messy pictures of my office:
I am going to clean up the office soon, and I will get some better organization then.

Finally used my What Not $15 credit and picked up Donkey Kong Country 2. $6 after the credit plus shipping isn't too bad of deal to me.
I also got a few other things from that same what not since I was already getting a game from them.
A European SNES controller
a SNES console manual to go with my original box
10 snes dust covers
Tetris Attack on the SNES

So I went to my local Video Game store. Took my girls there with me again. I got my oldest a Zelda manga and a Breath of the Wild Amiibo, Link on a horse. Got my other two some little toys, and myself a copy of Altered Beast for the Genesis! Finally found a copy locally!

My collection has grown since the picture dump I did on page one. But I am in no condition to drag everything out right now. I think my proudest addition lately has to be Castlevania IV for SNES (which I do have a pic of in the Castlevania thread).
While I do love the collections that have come out lately, especially for giving me a cheap option for playing a lot of games I never owned back in the day, there really is something about having the original cart for the original system playing on an original CRT.

2nd and Charles had this for 6.15. Heard a lot about it, if you watch Nitro Rad on Youtube, you might remember him singing its praises.
As such I've been wanting to check it out for a while now and I mean under seven bucks? Why not?
Went to the local gamestore this weekend. I managed to pick up somehting that wasn't on my list but should have been. I got Zodiak's revenge for $17. ITs the sequel to Star Tropics in case you were unaware. I never heard of it until the last couple years, so I got to add to the collection. I also added Sim City DS to my collection for $10. I always liked Sim city, so this version might be fun to try out.

"Zoda's Revenge".
I was unaware, because I literally had no idea which game you were talking about until I read the second sentence there. XD
Congrats on the great gets, though!
So last weekend I stopped by the local gamestore and got a few new addittions to the retro collection. I went there to pick up a play a charge cable for the xbox 360 since all of my controller battery packs have died. I did pick up some working batteries and a charger for them though. I also got a boxed NES cleaning kit. One of these:
I really liked the boxart for it and it was fairly cheap, so it joins my boxed NES collection.
I also picked up a loose copy of Crystalis, as they had it there for about market price, and I have been wanting to pick that up since I saw it was a Zelda clone.

So while nothing on my list, they're two great additions to my collection!

Crystalis is a great game. Good grab!

Not that I'd turn one down now, but that was something I really wanted, once upon a time. In no small part because of the art.
