Video Game Pickups - July 26, 2011

Managed to get really lucky at some used game stores and found a bunch of Game Boy and Game Gear games on clearance for $1. I normally don't buy tons of games I probably won't play much at all, but it's hard to pass up a good deal like that, especially when there are some pretty uncommon titles in the bunch.

My favorite games I got this time around are Lightening Force for Sega Genesis, and then Mario vs Donkey Kong and Castlevania; Order of Ecclesia for the Nintendo DS.

I've been playing a TON of Dragon Quest 8 lately and have really been enjoying it, as well.

Fall of the Foot Clan, and Solar Striker take me back man lol.

@AxeBlack84 Heck yeah, Fall of the Foot Clan was the first Game Boy game I bought with my birthday money when I got my Game Boy. I remember getting some crappy light add-on that barely worked, but I still managed. I've been going through some of these games on an original GBA and the lack of a backlight sucks so bad. I need to pick up a cheap GBA SP sometime just for these. Order of Eclessia really is a good game, btw. I'm totally pleased with that purchase.

are copies of tails adventure common where you live? i'd like a copy but my game gear is kinda sorta not working atm anyway so....yeah x.x

[beigemore]

@TestamentSeven7 I honestly never heard of Tales Adventure before I saw this one. I pretty much just bought everything that wasn't sports or that I knew wasn't a a piece of crap. I'm in the same boat, though. I have two Game Gears and neither one works.

Hey man I'm super jealous of that pile of GB games you got. Not only that but a Super Game Boy + Game Boy advanced player? Awesome. Nice video! Oh and does your copy of F1 Race work? lol. ^>^

[beigemore]

@maximpact24 I definitely got lucky with the clearance sale! And yes, F1 Race works. I tested it on both the GBA player and the GBA.

I'm envious of US GameGear games because many kind of games released these more than Japan. Especially Batman and Robin.

Holy shit man, awesome deal on the GB and GG games! WOOHOO MONSTER PARTY HELL YES! :D

Great grab on Heart of Darkness too; pretty cool game on the PSX. Beautiful copy of LF on the Genesis too..that game is hard as hell.

Are you a fan of Money Idol Exchanger on the Neo? That's one of my favorite puzzle games of all time, and I feel like no one's ever played it. Awesome vid as usual dude!
