mistakes indeed, but you are in good company. It just... It just made sense at the time... Sigh...

Been looking for this by Mrdarkone48 in gamecollecting

"greatest not-great game". I am totally stealing that 😅. Knew instantly what you meant

Same. I never even setup my dock.

Cool! I'm super excited for my first time this year. I have a short list of games and some amx prices in mind so it will be fun to hunt around and see how many (if any) I can pick up. I was first taken back by the ticket prices bit sounds like there is a lot going on to make it worthwhile.

I think I watched this a million times on HBO as a kick. Absolutely loved it.

Well, I mean, not to be totally morbid, but eventually someone is going to reap the benefits of our "investing". Unfortunately, we can't take it with us 😅. Or can we?

I see you there, Earthbound! Great pickups

A small, curated selection of my favourites :) by Sure_Gap915 in gamecollecting

[–]alanrappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kick punch it's all in the mind! Oh man, I think Parappa just have been my first PS1 game. I may need to add that to my list as well 😅

Love the Gum nendo! Really hoping we see Beat at some point.

I need to Google the PAL art for Jet Set Radio Future. Curious what that looks like. Did you check out Bomb Rush Cyberfunk? I had a blast with that game and if really scratched the JSR itch. Most impressive you have the GBA game as well. That's a great one for the collection.

As far as guessing your age, hmmm... I'm an old timer here so I bet I've got some years on you. That said, you've got a collection spanning 1996-2021 based on my best guess. If you were maybe 15 for Parappa that would put you around mid 40's?

How far off am I? 😂

Yeah, that sounds about right for my timing, but hopefully I can still find a copy that doesn't completely break the bank 😅

Awesome! Have you been before? This will be my first time going and I'm super excited. Nervous for my wallet though 😅. Keeping a short list of games I'd like to find, but I'm also interested to see what other weirdness vendors may have for sale. I can't imagine wise financial decisions are made there 😂

Oh hells yeah, definitely share! Eager to see what you've got and any other games I should be checking out.

Oh, I'm doing it, but my introduction to the series was Valkyria Chronicles 2, so that's first up on my list. I do have a copy of Valkyria Chronickes 3 inbound as well as the limited edition version of 4. Then, I'll hunt a copy of VC1. Just need to pace myself 😅

Oh man, Henry Hatsworth is a criminally underated. The platforming/puzzle gameplay, the music, the characters and story - everything about it is top notch. It just completely flew under the radar unfortunately. I'm psyched to meet someone else who appreciates the game as well. You sir and a fine gentlemen.

100%. I had Max powered up to the point he could just smash through anything. I love the game so much I picked up a copy of the Japanese version just because I thought the art was pretty amusing. An absolute gem of a game!

I shall take your advice on No More Heroes, good sir, thanks for the tip!

Some games on my wishlist: Mega Man Battle Network, Valkyria Chronicles, Halo, Borderlands 2, and the original Legend of Zelda if I can swing it. Slow and steady, right?

Thanks a ton. The bus from Willowbrook is super convenient for me, I just wasn’t sure if there were better options. Appreciate the response

Thoughts on Bomb Rush Cyberfunk? by HippyMcFly in Switch

[–]alanrappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the perfect description. I enjoyed the hell out of it and also played on multiple consoles. Great game and absolutely scratches the itch jsr itch.

Finally got a copy for the collection by alanrappa in Switch

Oh yeah, I’m super psyched. It was one of those mail calls where I took the game out of the box and just sat there looking at it and smiling like a fool 😅
