Finds 1853: Gamestop Deals ! Cobra Kai, Alex Kidd, and Mato


Here are a couple of Gamestop deals that arrived a little later than the first order of games I had. They were really cheap and happy they all came with their original cases. It's funny I keep buying PS5 games even though I don't have a PS5.

Finds 1852: Super 7 Krang is Huge!


This is the full body Krang which is huge! I totally forgot about this figure so it just showed up one day. It's a really cool figure overall. Krang is cool! Gotta love being a turtle!

Here we have some amazing deals from Gamestop. I actually ordered these from the website and was lucky enough to get them all in their original packages. Lots of Xbox goodies for sure!

Finds 1850: TMNT Auto Mutations Leo and Raph



These are a really odd release of the TMNT re-issued lines. I'm not even sure why these were picked to be released as honestly, there are other sets that are more sought after. Either way, I'll pick them up and add them to the collection.

Finds 1849: TMNT Super 7 Wave is Here!


Another beautiful Wave of the TMNT Super 7 set. This is Wave 7 and comes with really cool figures. My favorite would have to be Dunkin Don! Check out the rest below, Gotta love being a turtle!

Finds 1848: NES Boxed Games, and PS4 RPGs


Here are new boxed NES games. Tiny Toons 2 is complete while Back to the Future 2 & 3 plus Swords and Serpents are box only. I also picked up some games at Gamestop! Just good stuff all around.

Finds 1847: Canvas Quest Pins!


More pins from Canvas Quest! They are just so awesome and my bag is just getting too full I'm running out of room! Once again, be sure to check them out here!


Share:

Finds 1846: Fire Emblem for Wii, Virtual Boy Games, and Disgaea


Here are some new additions from Nostalgia Den which is a shop where they fix consoles and sell games. Totally love it especially since I was able to add really cool stuff to the collection. 


Share:

Finds 1845: Jackie Chan, Parodius, and Castlevania Collection


Here are more additions! The Jackie Chan game is really fun! Parodius is just a wacky shoot 'em up and Limited Run Games arrivals of the Castlevania Collecion for Switch and Xbox One are just beautiful. Let the collection keep growing!

Finds 1844: A boy and his blob, Avenging Spirit, and Contra Collection


Here are lots of new arrivals from Limited Run Games! A boy and his blob, Avenging Spirit, and Contra Collection. They are all a thing of beauty. Thank you Limited Run Games!

Finds 1843: Tiny Toons for NES


One of my favorite Tiny Toon games is the one for the NES. I remember renting this one as a Famicom bootleg and getting to the final level trying it over and over and over again. Back then, I used the help of Club Nintendo which was a Latin American magazine that had strategies on the game of the time to help me beat it. I just had to get a full CIB version of this gem. 


Share:

Finds 1842: Duke Nukem 2 for PC


I always had the shareware of this game so finding the real legit full version is a no brainer! This is Duke Nukem 2 for PC and it's a beautiful game! I highly recommend it if you are into platformers especially with beautiful sound and graphics.

Finds 1841: Pepsi Man for PS1


Here is a really cool game that I've been wanting ever since I saw it on auctions and even at an episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Pepsi Man is a game in which you play as a dude trying to save people with Pepsi. In between stages, you get cut-scenes of this guy that's obsessed with Pepsi. It's a really cool pick up and play game so I highly recommend it if you want to have fun for a short period of time as it's a very short game. 


Share:

Finds 1840: Trip World and Ghost Sync


Here are a couple of Limited Run arrivals. Trip World was re-release and it's really awesome because the only way I was able to play this game was through emulation. I am so happy to have a playable physical version of them. I also got Ghost Sync which is another little gem for the PS4 collection. 


Share:

Finds 1839: Battletoads and Double Dragon for NES


Here is another addition for the NES. I actually played the SNES version of this game back in the 90s and could never get past that space ship area(You know which one I am talking about). I'm not sure if they have the spaceship level in this version though.

Finds 1838: Hitler no Fukkatsu Top Secret for Famicom!


Here is a game that had to be extremely censored when it was brought to the USA. I had to pick it up with the original artwork and box in order to have an interesting piece to show off in my collection. Yes, you have to stop the revival of Hitler. Should I say more? 


Share:

Finds 1837: Raystorm HD Collection for Switch


This is a really cool game for the Switch. I love the compilation of shoot 'em ups that keep appearing for the system. We gotta find a way to preserve these classics and I have to thank all the companies that are pushing for that. 


Share:

Finds 1836: Bonk for NES


A friend of mine had this in their collection and knew that I was looking to add the good rare games for the NES and gave me a deal on this one! Bonk for the NES is finally in my collection and honestly, I never imagine it would be in my collection but here it is. The game plays decent and it's a lot of fun. I'm a fan of the Gameboy entries too which I played a lot so it's similar to those. Another gem for the collection! 


Share:

Finds 1835: Girlfriend Spoils!


I can't go anywhere without her trying to buy me stuff! She's the best! Anyways, I got April O'neil and lots of Yu-gi-oh! Cards! Gotta love being a turtle!

Finds 1834: Limited Run Arrivals! Espgaluda 2 and Rendering Ranger


All new arrivals from Limited Run Games. As always, good quality packaging and uniqueness that we get from their releases. I love their stuff! I can't get enough of it.

Finds 1833: Enter Captain Commando for PS1


Here is a really cool port of an arcade classic. I remember playing this one in the arcade and then renting it for snes from Blockbuster video. This is a really cool port and way better than the snes version. It's a lot more fun with two players. Let me know what you think! 


Share:

Finds 1832: TMNT Set of Toys!

This is a really cool set of another set of turtles. Once again, I believe I'm more excited about the graphics on the box rather than the action figures. Is that weird? Gotta love being a turtle!
