Finds 1244: Toe Jam & Earl Back in the Groove

Even though the game wasn't a standout hit, I still gave in to get the collector's box for it. I just couldn't say not to the beautiful present design it came with. It also came with lots of extras! I mean, why wouldn't it? Overall, I love the packaging more than the game itself. Play it if you haven't, it'll give you a nostalgia boner.

Finds 1243: PCE Works Best of Japan

I have to say, I love PCE Works as they offer brand new CD releases of games we missed out for the PC Engine and Turbo Grafx CD. Not only that, they play great and come with lots of extras. I have been working on getting more boxsets of these gems as they are quite worth it. I don't think you want to spend thousands on these games! I can't wait for more of these! Of course, this one brings the best of Japan which comes with four games that are unique to the Japanese console. Not only that, they threw in a Bonk's Adventure in CD! Gotta love extras!

Finds 1242: Valkyrie and Alice for PC Engine!

Two very playable games arrived for the PC Engine. They are both sidescrollers and are really rad. Definitely check out Alice as it's an odd one but plays quite well. The musical score is quite good and definitely keeps you entertained. Valkyrie is a classic game for the PC Engine and just has the solid side scrolling action you desire. Both are worthy pick ups!

Finds 1241: Monster World IV, Knuckles Chaotix, Golden Axe 3, and Crusader of Centy

Some unusual additions to the collection. The Monster World IV, Golden Axe III, and Crusader of Centy are repros but some really good ones to have. The Chaotix is one that I've been meaning to add to the collection for a long long time! I'm talking about since I started collecting as the Sega CD and 32X were one of the first consoles I picked up. Believe it or not, the game was more expensive back then than it is now! Lucky me!

Finds 1240: Flintstones, Mega Man X3, Star Ocean, and Axelay

This is probably one of my best findings ever! Well, I didn't actually find these but bid for them online. Either way, they were great deals so I was happy to add these long awaited titles. Oh wait, Axelay was actually a local purchase. Star Ocean was from and online store in China as it's a reproduction. Mega Man X3 was from eBay and I really think I got it for a decent deal. The Flintstones was also another one I have been meaning to add to my collection since playing it back in the early 90s. With this, I finish the X series although I might consider getting another copy of X2 as my current one is beat up to hell! More beautiful additions to the collection!

Finds 1239: Silver Valley for the Sega Master System

Here is a pretty awesome homebrew game for the Sega Master System. You usually don't hear much about Sega Master System homebrew but this is a rare case of it. The game is called Silver Valley and it's an action game as stated on the cover! If you have played Mask of Darkness for the Master System, then this is quite similar to it. It plays like Castlevania and what great gameplay it brings. it's pure classic 2D scrolling action with the classic Master System sound effects. It's a beautiful well done game. Totally recommend it!

Finds 1238: Metal Storm, Monster Lair, Ninja Spirit, Super Soccer, and Mystery Disk System Game!

I went to a convention and actually picked up three games I've been looking for a while. The games are Metal Storm, Ninja Spirit, and Monster Lair. Being able to find them in one stop was actually pretty cool. It was also locally so that's even better as two of the three are imports. The two on the top were just bonuses. I am glad to have these gems into my collection. Ninja Spirit eluded me for the longest time and the same goes to Metal Storm. Monster Lair I could've gotten a while back but backed out. A wonderful array of titles overall! More for the never ending growing collection. 

I picked this up at a convention and well, it just caught my attention because it has no label. What could it be? I really need to get my disk system add-on plugged in again. My guess is that it's one of the golf games but since you could rewrite your games over and over, it could really be anything in it.

Finds 1237: Shockwave 2, Pelado, and Efera

Here are three new additions I got at the local game shoppe! Shockwave 2 just has an amazing cover and it's a decent game for the 3DO. The PC engine game with the bald guy I just call Pelado because I forgot its original name and Fera is a pretty cool RPG. These are solids additions to my collection.

Finds 1236: The Game Paradise by Limited Run Games

So here is a game I was looking for the Saturn for the longest time and to my surprise, Limited Run Games decided to have a release of their digital version for the PS4. They brought it into physical form and included lots of extras. This is one wacky shoot 'em up and I highly recommend getting it even if you can only get it digitally, it's that worth checking out.
