I like Yie Ar Kung Fu too.

Clu Clu Land and Star Force are both great, I think Ninja Kun was one of your recommendations for my Exploring the NES feature, and I'm in the middle of a review of Yie Ar at the moment (although not the Famicom one). It's strange to get so many games from one collection though. Will you keep them together accordingly? :PRetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-73288164263229650982012-02-29T09:22:11.913+09:002012-02-29T09:22:11.913+09:00Johnny - Thanks for the comment and for reading!
...Johnny - Thanks for the comment and for reading!<br /><br />Kevin - Ah the rental stickers. In Japan the practice never took off so Famicom games never have rental stickers on them, though some do have used game shop stickers on the back. I remember renting NES games back in the day though. Good memories.<br /><br />I just updated me sales list a few days ago actually. I have Zippy Race and Spelunker 2, which both have the LED lights on them.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-39231609508817549842012-02-29T07:51:57.508+09:002012-02-29T07:51:57.508+09:00Haha, I love this kind of stuff.

In a similar kind of bent, I absolutely adore finding games that still have rental stickers on them; gives the games kind of a "Where's George" style kind of character. Whenever I get a game up here in Seattle that came from a rental in say, Virginia, it's always fun to imagine the story of how it ended up so many miles away.<br /><br />I'm still anxiously awaiting you to update your for sale list, especially if any of the Irem games with the LED on them end up for sale.mercatfathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131766927931369711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-32935416958393943952012-02-28T23:44:05.440+09:002012-02-28T23:44:05.440+09:00Just came across your blog, and i'm reading lo...Just came across your blog, and i'm reading lots of old posts.

The other day, the copy of Martin the Warrior I ordered off of Amazon for $0.99 was autographed by the book's author, then the next day I caught a shiny Karroblast while playing Pokemon White, and now today I found a $50 bill after it blew past me in the wind while I was waiting for my ride home after school!

I was probably a freshman in high school and content playing my PS2, I hadn't really gotten into retro gaming yet, so I hadn't touched my SNES in ages.<br /><br />One day, my mom tells me that she sold some of my SNES games. Now, my mom played video games herself, so she was smart enough not to get rid of Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, Donkey Kong Countrys, etc. but she still sold some of my favorites like Star Fox, Hit The Ice, Stunt Race FX, and the Roadrunner game (which was impossible).Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121556443188603610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-51948503249236697372012-02-24T20:43:29.050+09:002012-02-24T20:43:29.050+09:00I like your version best, Nate.
Actually that rem...I like your version best, Nate.<br /><br />Actually that reminds me of what my mom did to my childhood Lego collection a few years back. I had a huge box of the stuff, most of the sets from the early 80s. I went looking for it in their basement one day and couldn`t find it. I asked and she said she had given it all away years earlier. Probably that stuff would be worth a fair bit of $$$ these days. <br /><br />Moms, gotta love `em.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-26767220562705751242012-02-24T15:22:53.483+09:002012-02-24T15:22:53.483+09:00I like to see it as that, perhaps, the family had ...I like to see it as that, perhaps, the family had a bunch of stuff in a storage locker over the years. Finally, the family decided to clean it out/move it/get rid of it etc. when they found these games inside. Thinking that Shinji is all grown up and working as a salaryman in Tokyo, and they were in storage for 25 years, it'd be fine to bring them to Omocha Souko and sell them.<br /><br />Of course, one day when Shinji comes home to Kyuushu he asks his mom:<br /><br />"Hey mom, do you know where my Famicom games are? I'd love to try them out again."<br /><br />His mom would reply:<br /><br />"Oh, I sold them. I figured you didn't need them anymore..."<br /><br />And then, upset that his mom had sold his beloved games he'd reply:<br /><br />"OKAAAAAASAAAAAAN! STOP TOUCHING MY STUFF."Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121556443188603610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-34457906090220281072012-02-24T09:09:07.155+09:002012-02-24T09:09:07.155+09:00Skyrunner - thanks, I haven`t either!

I prefer to think that the now grown-up Shinji and his wife got into a fight after she found out he was cheating on her with her best friend. In a fit of rage while he was at work she rounded up all of his possessions, put them in the back of their mini van and drove them to Omocha Souko where she just said `Here, take them. Burn them for all I care, damn cheating ass.....` <br /><br />The next day, they were mine.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-26934786385916051152012-02-24T07:40:10.914+09:002012-02-24T07:40:10.914+09:00Haha, wonderfully written!

I was so interested to find out what this super exclusive Oyama Collection was! <br /><br />Now imagine the following: Shinji Oyama was a poor boy who lived with his grandparents since his parents had mysteriously disappeared 6 years ago. Being extremely poor, he only got to buy one single famicom game each year. His collection of six games was all he had, his pride and joy. He fought in Yie Ar, he dreamt of New York with King Kong. <br /><br />Until one night a thief came in, stole his six games, and sold them to Omocha Souko.<br /><br />Feel bad about yourself yet? :)MarkDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-11774360366127309542012-02-24T06:46:11.725+09:002012-02-24T06:46:11.725+09:00That's an interesting story...
