Finds 1737: Valis Collection and Castlevania Requiem


Here are two collector's editions that came from Limited Run Games. Valis and Castlevania are two franchises that were highly popular in the 90s. Even though Castlevania is an afterthought today thanks to Konami, we still love and cherish the series. Valis is a series that unfortunately never took off here popularity-wise in the States but the games are quite solid and totally worth a gameplay.

Finds 1728: Bomberman series for the Famicom is here!

I picked up the Super Famicom series of Super Bomberman and boy do they look beautiful. This set came with all five Bomberman games as well as a puzzle like Bomberman game. This is all the Bomberman I could ask for. The games are playable and you won't need to translate it to enjoy it and that's the kind of imports I want to add to my collection.

Backpack External CD Drive works Flawlessly!


I was able to get the power cable in order to get this tested and it works flawlessly! The wonderful x4 speed is just a joy to experience. Yes, it's x4 speed! I ended up testing t with Dark Forces and everything went well. I did needed a CD drive for this computer as the internal one can't be use because the motherboard cable is busted. This is a great alternative to test out games and software with. You never know when you'll need an external parallel port CD drive.

Finds 1727: Gamestop deals ! 4 for 40 Plus a bonus Game!

Gotta love Gamestop's sales as one can take advantage of them fully! This one is the 4 for 40 on 19.99 games and under sale. You can definitely find lots of goodies to add to your collection. Not only did I got four games, I also picked up a game that was on clearance in its collector's edition form. The game was slashed from 59.99 to 19.99 so I had to jump on it. Check out more photos below!

Finds 1726: Backpack External CD Drive and PC Software


I had to do it. Only someone like myself would pick up a parallel port external CD Drive for old machines. I still did it and took a chance at this wonderful accessory from the past. There is just something about old accessories that even though they are slower and lamer I just love. I also got some PC software along with it.

Finds 1725: Naples, Florida Additions!


Here are my findings of my trip to Naples, Florida. I went to a bunch of different game stores and ended up with these. I should really document on here which game stores I go to in order to provide information for people who go to the area. Starting now, I will do it. Anyways, check out the stuff I got! Love Blaster Master and I'm happy to have it complete in a box. The Turbo Grafx games are always a must whenever I run into them. I also found a weird USB Ethernet connection which I could use on my old computers and Magic Carpet for PS1. Also, Muramasha for Wii was probably the best find even though the disc needs resurfacing.

Finds 1724: TMNT Storage Shell Turtles


I always loved TMNT storage shell turtles and when Playmates decided to re-release them I went nuts! This is really awesome and even though I already have a set, I wanted a sealed set to hang on my wall. I highly recommend hunting these down as they are totally worth your time and money. I wonder what else they will be re-releasing.
