Finding Miis 006: Gina 2nd Tag!


This is the second tag from this same Mii. Hmmm....I wonder who it is! Sadly, I'll probably never know because there are literally hundreds of people come in to my job every day so there is no way I'll ever find out unless of course I see the person take out their 3DS out and even then I wouldn't approach them and dorkily take out my 3DS to say "Hey so you are the one that tagged me" followed by a goofy laugh!

Finds 415: Doki Doki Panic Famicom Cart! Enter Doki Doki Madness!


This is probably the find of the month by far. It's none other than the Famicom cart port of the FDS only game Doki Doki Panic! I played the game for a bit and I gotta say it's not bad at all. This is by far one of the most exciting acquisitions I had this year. I have been looking for this game for such a long time and finally, it's in my hands to add to my ever growing Famicom collection! A true gem by my book! Enjoy the pic of the madness!!

Ads From The Past 216: Double Dragon III (NES)


This is probably the toughest Double Dragon game ever! I had to use the Game Genie to beat this one and even then I barely beat it! This is Double Dragon going totally wrong. I'm glad they made up for it with Super Double Dragon on the SNES but man this one really messed me up! Enjoy!

Retro Gaming News 123: Standard Daisenryaku: Lost Victory v0.60 Patch released



"This is a patch for the Playstation 2 WW2 turn based strategy game. It translates all the scenarios in the Victory Path (Marita, Barbarossa, Typhoon, Blau, and Tunisia campaigns) This now allows you to successfully complete the game in early 1943.

About half the scenarios remain to be translated. These are all in the Defeat Path. Once you enter the defeat path, the final outcome will always be a last ditch defense of Berlin in 1945. One consolation of playing these no win scenarios is that this is the only way to obtain the really powerful late war German weapons."

Finds 413: Wicked Oddball Finds! A little bit of everything!


I went to some places, looked around, and asked around. In the end, I was able to pick up some awesome items. The photo should speak for itself...my final days of hunting in Florida may be counted but that doesn't mean they can't end on a high note! Behold, some wicked finds!

Retro Gaming News 122: Time for something a little different Lunatic Fantasy



"Today I have released a complete translation patch for the Sharp X68000 doujin game Lunatic Fantasy. Most doujin games of the era usually featured some kind of adult content, but this game is the exception. However, there are very strong lesbian themes and undertones, but never makes itself inappropriate. So this game is not for everyone, but if you like adventure games, visual novels and obscure Japanese games, this translation might be for you. Thanks to Eien ni Hen for producing an excellent script and Hemiasinus for the tools and taking care of the more complicated stuff."

Finds 409: Pirates Arrr!!! Gun Nac, Samurai PIzza Cats, Snow Brothers, etc!


I got these sexy games in the mail today! I've been wanting to get me new pirates lately so this is a nice welcomed addition to my collection. The games are pretty neat. There are two multis that come with two games in one and a single game cart (Snow Bros). All the games worked great and I actually started playing one of them called Gun Nac which is a shooter game. I enjoyed it but found it a little too easy... I also played some Samurai Pizza Cats and this weird side scroller with a three eyed bald guy.... totally awesome stuff!!
