Some More Game Pick Ups

So I was in the city again yesterday for my Japanese lesson and then I was going to meet my wife for dinner. The thing was that there was a 3 hour gap between when my class ended and when I was to meet her sooooo .... I went to the game store.

I really wasn't expecting to find anything as I had just been there a few days ago but it turned out they had got some new things in. The Saturn section was still lacking anything of interest (which is my preferred system) but taking a look at the Super Famicom section I found a loose copy of Super R-Type ($6) which I couldn't remember if I already had or not, turned out I already had a loose copy but oh well I'll just sell this one.

I then found a boxed copy of a very rare unreleased Super Famicom game called SM Teacher Hitomi ($47). Which admittedly I didn't know anything about, but when I looked at the box I noticed that it was a hentai game and that made me think of the unlicensed adult games for the NES like Bubble Bobble and how rare those are so I started to do some research.

The game is nothing that I would condone as it, from what little information I was able to find on it, is basically a rape game. The thing I found really funny was that there is apparently a way to play the game with just one had on the controller (holding it sideways) "I wonder why they did that". It looks like this company released the games using other common SFC carts as shells for there game with a somewhat transparent sticker slapped over top of it. This version of the game is reusing a Zico Soccer game.

I have no interest in playing it but picked it up as a odd ball kind of thing and to eventually resell it.

I also stopped by the Game Boy section and found a boxed version of The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages ($10) which is was great because I already had a boxed Oracle of Seasons so this complete the set. Plus look how cool the backs match up when you put them side by side.

I then took a passing look at the Mega Drive (Genesis) section and was really glad I did because it turned out that they had Sonic and Sonic 3 both in there cases with the instructions, etc. Sonic one was $2 and Sonic 3 was $3 so I was able to get both for $5 which I thought was pretty sweet. Ill have to try them on my modded Model 1 Mega Drive (which reminds me I need to post what I did to mod that at some point). 

Some New Games (Puzznic Crazy)

So I finally picked up a few new games and I figured I would share the news with you.

About a week ago (maybe two) I made a trip to Hard Off and Book Eco. I'm just not finding stuff they way I used too, perhaps I already bought everything good they had. I don't know what it is but I'd say the last 4 or 5 trips (and its kind of a far trip so I don't make it very often) I have come away with nothing. That said today I ended up just buying one item and it was a Game Boy game. A okay find of a game called Puzznic it was only $1 so what the heck why not.

But that was it kind of a long way to go for one Game Boy game but whatever it was a nice trip I suppose.

Then yesterday I was in the city and picked up a few games at Mandarake. First up I found a really cool game for the Sega Saturn called Shienryu ($20) its a vertical shooter (my favorite genre) and a really cool game.

In the Xbox 360 section I found a copy of GalGun ($15) I had been passing on this game but for some reason I just decided that at that price and that I hadn't gotten much lately I would pull the trigger on it. I was happy to see that the card inside was not used and still in the packaging.

Last I made my way to the Famicom section and was surprised to come across a copy of Puzznic ($6) and then I found a boxed version as well ($10). This game is somewhat hard to find and has some value on eBay so I picked up both of them. Had it not been for the trip to Hard Off I would have not seen the Game Boy version and done some research on the title so it was funny how that worked out.

I also found another copy of Ninja Gaiden III ($6) so I grabbed that too.
