To think that "back in the day" genuinely refers to when I was just 12.

While I'm not buying new games, I am still adding older games to my collection and I have a few entries for this weekend. Nothing rare, just titles I'd like to own on a permanent basis. Picked up a few more PS3/Xbox 360 titles as well while they're still relatively cheap.
Pics on Saturday.

Yea I'm going to keep mine stock I think! Had a look into modding it and it seems such a faff! Plus Cex are sell g zboz games for like 50p a pop. I know where I'm going on the weekend if I have chance!
Anyway I'm sharing this now coz I have yet another busy weekend... I think I have a problem... Heres another Gamecube haul I picked up today!
All discs in near mint condition and smash and sunshine have well kept manuals included too.

One man should not have this much power in this game. Luckily I'm not an ordinary man.

Picking up the GB player disc boxed is a real find.

It's a good investment, nice disk and player is around £80. I found a nice player for about £25, kept that and flipped my original one with a spare boxed disk for £81.
Although, the software on the disk is actually a little blurry and isn't full screen. So it's worth burning the homebrew, something I still need to do.
The Super GameBoy is actually better for gameboy games, the pixel ratio is correct and its sharper.
I actually bought my original GB player off a mate who had it but no GB games for some reason, so I nabbed it for just a tenner.
Probably my greatest retro hardware regret however is passing on an official GC RGB Scart cable for £2.50 in Dixons.
I'm pretty sure one of my TVs at the time would have accepted it as well. So I spent my entire GC era playing through RF and composite. In fact, I still do, but I use a Wii with 3rd party component cable that works beautifully.

At least your Secret Santa will have something to get you since Denny finally reunited you with B-T.

I almost sound ungrateful, since the great Banjo Tooie incident has finally been fulfilled (I finally made it to the massive dinosaur level by the way, damn the game is actually pretty hard), I can turn my eye to lesser things 
That is only in terms of hardware... Thankfully despite my sister selling all my MD games I kept the console somewhere else
so I haven't lost any consoles.Now how about mere packaging.. my Metroid Fusion & Zero Mission boxes, for example
Maybe we should sort out a trade circle for filling the gaps in our collection we actually care about in exchange for the ones we don't
**Disclaimer, no offers for twin snakes, TP or Paper Mario TTYD, that I have now wrapped up in plastic (with the discs in separate cases, so I can play them
)I guess this is the curse of retro, there's always something else to pick up!
I'll super try this weekend to snap my new MD games and SNES.. game (singular, sorta, but it's a real good'un).

As I said above, nothing rare just several titles that I wanted to add to the collection.

Lovely stuff! Gosh takes me back NFS Underground and Underground 2! The general mission would be to buy the Mitsubishi Eclipse and pretend to be apart of Fast and Furious
Another racing game for PS2 I loved was Juiced... I know what my next game purchases are going to be! *Trots off to eBay*
