Finds 108: Lolo 2 and Rainbow Islands boxed!
So I went to visit a new thrift store that was walking distance and found some neat games. The thrift store was very small but they did had a little bit of everything. Anyways, I saw a stack of boxed NES games and decided to look at them. The ones that caught my eyes were Rainbow Islands and Lolo 2. Anyways, as you can see, those are the ones I bought. A dollar each isn't bad huh?

Finds 107: Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo Sealed for the PC
I didn't had a lot of finds today but one of them caught my attention. They usually have PC games(the old ones) boxed and all here so it's nice to pick up some of them just for the nostalgia factor. This time around I came upon a copy of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo for the PC which looks totally awesome. This game was distributed by Gametek which does ring a bell. I know they released other kids toys as well. Anyways, the box art looks awesome and I just love reading the PC requirements. Man those were some good old days. Of course, this game is sealed and I do plan on keeping it that way. This is another gem I'm going to keep for my personal collection. Gotta love big box PC games har har har....
Planing a flea market trip by the end of the month

PSP Lives On!
Well I fooled around with my fat PSP again today. I was able to add a feature so I can watch youtube videos on it which is really really kewl! Cya later laptop har har har...I was also able to add messenger feature which lets me log into messengers such as AIM, Yahoo, MSN, among others. I was really psyched about what I was able to do with it. I'll be fooling around with it tomorrow as well since I can't walk that much right now. I'll blog the story later tonight or tomorrow. Well, that's all for now, cya around gamers....
Retro Game of the Week 008: Tomba 2(PSX)
Here is an interesting entry for this week. Tomba 2 for the PSX redefined a golden era of platformers that were though to be dead but weren't! This game has some of the most innovative gameplay around for the PSX. Anyways, the game starts you out as caveman of some sort that goes on adventures like saving a crab for once...lol....it does contain some great graphics and interesting concepts. The game is just so damn fun and hard to find. I for once have only found one copy of it and has been loose which is still worth a pretty penny(around 35 US dollars loose according to my friend that owns a gaming store).
This dude's hair looks crazy being all pink and all but it sort of reminds me of the good old Joe & Mac games. Those were some classic fun games for sure. The gameplay pretty much goes from 2D to 3D at times. You can call it 2.5D if you please since it switches views at times. In the end, you are always following one road which keeps to its platforming genre.
Alright, I don't want to say too much about this game to give stuff away but I do suggest picking a copy up if you ever see it in the while. I don't recommend you buy it off ebay since it goes for a lot of money and we want to keep our costs down hehehhe.... You can also pick up part 1 of the Tomba series which is as good as this one. Take care and until next week.

Finally took out the PSP and.....
Did an awesome upgrade to it! I first started by buying a new faceplate because somehow someone had broken the one it had. I got it for a good price as well. Now, I have to wait for it but it's ok I'm patient. Anyways, I also updated my firmware which was 1.5 to 5.00 m33-6 which took me a while because you can't update straight to 5.00 m33-6, you have to go through different firmwares until you reach the top one. Anyways, after that was done, I installed emulators and other stuff like music and videos to my psp. I currently have a GBA, NES, GBC,and Genesis emulators. I can't wait to see what else I can get to it. One last thing is that I heard that you could play youtube videos on your PSP so I did a little research for it and came up with a new application that lets me do it with great results! I can now check out videos on youtube through my PSP har har har. I also installed a radio station application which is pretty neat! Hmm what else? I think that's all for now. If you need to upgrade your PSP and are in firmware 1.5, then I suggest you visit this wonderful tutorial here. If you need any help, I might be able to help you out! Well that's about it, time to play some good old NES games on my PSP har har har!

Nothing New Lately....
It has been a slow start of the week but things are getting there I guess. I have a feeling that something great is coming!! har har har....oh in other news I got my old 1st generation 20gb ipod out to fool around with it. I ended up installing this program on it Rock Box that gives my 1st gen ipod a boost in application software! It comes with dictionary, lamp program, stop watch, and even the game doom! It's a real neat add on and gives my good old ipod a spark of needed usage lol..... Anyways, that's about it for now, until next time.
