Finds 1647: Mexico Trip Loot! TMNT, Spanish Gamepro, and ISS Deluxe

After hitting this open fair in Mexico City, I was able to find some really cool things. I always wanted the bootleg TMNT action figures but a lot of vendors had them quite beat up until I found this one that looks really cool and in great shape. The Gamepro magazine is in Spanish and that's really amazing. The ISS Deluxe game was a little beat up but the price was freaking amazing I had to say yes! It's totally awesome! I have more loot coming!

Finds 1470: Vintage Retro Magazines lot EGM 2 Number 1!

These are so awesome! I don't usually get magazines anymore but these appeared locally and I had to get them especially because I was able to get issue number 1 of EGM2! Total nostalgia over all. 

This one is a magazine I wasn't really into or knew its existence but hey it has TMNT on the cover, that's enough reason for me to get it. The artwork is okay, I really wonder who drew this up. It's really cool nonetheless. 

I remember Batman Returns as I rented it for the SNES years ago. I also went to see the movie and it was pretty awesome! Uff those were the days. 

Here it is, EGM2 number 1! I loved this magazine as it was always packed with strategy guides and tips and tricks. It was more of a guide to the newest games of the time. It's kind of sad that magazines went the way of the dinosaur, but I will always cherish these.

Finds 1449: One of the Best Lots in a While! RPG Galore! WOW!

This is one of the most amazing lots I've gotten in a while. I know it looks like a lot of the lots I have gotten in the past but the prices I paid for these games are unheard of nowadays. Buying in bundle definitely pays off. So as you can see, there is a lot of beautiful stuff to look at. That's not all though, I have more stuff in the photo below of stuff that didn't fit this first photo. Lets go through it! 

The portable Final Fantasy games are totally worth it. I only had part three but I got the rest of the set now. Phantasy Star IV is always a game I wanted to get. The SNES games are all pure win! Just beautiful stuff. The little extras are there too!

I was finally able to get the Chocobo Dungeon games for the original Playstation as well as the Chocobo Racing game which I had no idea it existed! Uff! 

Some Playstation games. The main score was the one in the middle, you know that shoot 'em up by Working Designs, I love it all! 

This is what didn't fit in the first photo. We have a double of Sega games, Chocobo Dungeon for Wii, and more boxes Final Fantasy games! An amazing addition to my collection! I have more to come!

So a local Gamestop is having a closing out sale and since it was only literally ten minutes away from where I live, I had to go and see what it's all about! I ended up asking if they had any collector's edition games and got whatever they had especially because they were a freaking steal! I also got tons of PS4 games, some Wiiu games, and PS3 games as well. I don't mind getting them disc only either! Loving this! I will surely be back!

Finds 1090: Gamepro Issue 1

This is the first ever issue of Gamepro. It's a magazine I grew up reading for the most part. Their issues were massive but that was due to the endless advertising pages it came packed with. I believe there were more pages on advertising than the issue itself. Nevertheless, I picked up this issue for quite cheap and it's definitely worth a read through.

Finds 1075: More Zines!

Finds 1074: Famicom Games, Genesis Chinese Beat 'em up, Perfect Weapon, Fighters History, and More!

Here is a nice loot of goodies. First of all, we have some arrivals from China! The Famicom games are Bio Force Ape and Earth Worm Jim. Two unique games that weren't out officially so they make a good addition to anyone's collection and the urge to play something new. Next, we have a beat 'em up game for the Sega Genesis that's actually pretty cool. It's a Chinese original so it's quite unique. Definitely, check it out as it uses Knights of the Round and Streets of Rage style gameplay. The name of the game is Shui Hu Feng Yun Zhurn. I also got Geometry Wars 3 and that's only because it was recommended by Game Sack. You guys have really made my collection flourished! Up next is Perfect Weapon for the PS1. I bought it disc only because I got the case at a thrift store a long time ago (About 4 years ago) So it was time to make it complete! Fighters History for the SNES was another game recommended by Game Sack. See the trend? Finally, another Game Players magazine. It's crazy to believe how cheap I found it. It's a pretty dated magazine from the late 80s!

Finds 1073: Game Players Magazine and Rolling Thunder !

Here are a couple of goodies that arrived recently. The Game Players magazine has a very interesting article of the Super Famicom. This magazine was released before the SNES was around so it's nice to see and feel the world before the SNES was out. The golden era of gaming is packed and preserved in this magazine as well as other magazines of that same era. It's ultimate nostalgia indeed. Also, Rolling Thunder for the NES is an action packed game that's quite a hidden gem. I don't understand why people don't mention this game more often.

Did some hunting and found some neat things! I finally have Zombies for the SNES believe it or not, I never actually owned this game! I also picked up Robocop 2 and a fat DS that was sold as is. The only problem with it was a dead battery! I also passed by Barnes and Nobles to pick up this Retro Gamer magazine. I might start collecting these. I wish they had some kind of subscription!
