35 Euro for this lot as I thought it was an unboxed console with some games. Little did I know that the console would be near mint complete in the box and all the games looking like new... - Super Skidmarks

That happened to me once with a Nintendo 64. I paid something around $25 for a Nintendo 64 in working condition and it arrived two days later [meaning that almost $12 were spent just on mailing] inside its box in excellent condition. It's kind of funny we gamers tend to spend so much on old consoles when so many people actually think they're worth nothing and would just give them all away.

Poor Opa Opa. Became a sort of space ship on a washed-looking port ._. Well, here goes my latest acquisition ;D Not so hard to find but usually overpriced. Very fun game though.

Sorry, I couldn't get the camera to get the lighted marquee in focus. It's Gyruss.

It's got less colors ;D ;D ;D Kidding. Looks like a nice find, though; I'm not much into shooters, but Fantasy Zone is just so beautiful that it's worth the occasional shot.

It's funny you should say that, because lately it seems the shmups are ALL that I'm into...but for some reason I hadn't acclimated to the "cute-em-ups" just yet. However, Fantasy Zone is just so random and ridiculous (and, as you said, beautiful!) I just couldn't pass it up. Now I want to own every version! Gotta get a Turbografx 16 first, though.... "Was my victory really worth the price I had to pay?" For $5, I'd say so. ;D

Since then, the only ones I still play today are Astro Warrior, sometimes R-Type, Silpheed and Ikaruga. It's hard to see shmups getting a little variation. My favorite in the genre is 1942 for the NES/GBC, maybe because it's not set in space and against aliens ;D

My favorite in the genre is 1942 for the NES/GBC, maybe because it's not set in space and against aliens ;D Well, although I used to play Galaga and Raiden religiously in the arcades, I haven't REALLY gotten into the shooters until recently. I started off picky, but now it seems I'll pick one up simply if it has something unique to offer. It's gotten to where I'll get the same game on competing consoles, just to compare them. Speaking of which, this came in yesterday... Minty copy of Raiden Trad. ;D Anyway, my favorite shmup...well, I'm not sure I can pick a favorite, but Bosconian is probably it (SO much nostalgia for that game ) Summer Carnival '92: Recca for the Famicom comes pretty close behind that, though. And regarding 1942, I played it one time & for some reason it just didn't do it for me, which is odd because I love WWII planes almost as much as I love space ships! I do really like Bomber Raid, though. Sky Shark is a similar game, but for some reason it is impossibly difficult for me at the moment. -_-
