Hooooo boy. eBay is your friend. Or mine, at least.

Okay, so I've got a Neo Geo Pocket Color. It should be on its way to me some time today. With it comes Card Fighter's Clash - SNK vs Capcom. I am definitely looking forward to putting that system through its paces. I've read a few other reviews, and it sounds pretty awesome.

I've got a Super Nintendo coming this way as well. To prepare, I went to GameStop last night and grabbed half a dozen good used games. From Mortal Kombat to NBA Jam to NBA Jam Tournament Edition. Variety! F-Zero is being shipped to my house. I got it brand new and sealed for $5. Wahoo!

I grabbed four Genesis carts while I was there. And a Genesis, which doesn't work, unfortunately. Oh well. NBA Jam Tournament Edition (see a trend here?) was $4 new and sealed. What a deal!

My N64 from the fire still works. I bought a spare AC adaptor for it at $5 and I had an AV cable left over from the GameCube (I use S-Video on my main consoles). The Mario Kart 64 cart still works as well. Both of them look like they've been through a fire. 'Cause they have. Ha. I had to buy a used controller, though, 'cause those got toasted.

I got 14 Saturn games for about $38 total, including Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (such simple pleasures), NiGHTS, Virtua Fighter 2, etc. Now I just need to get that Saturn (wink wink). I also got two of the 3D controllers (the ones that came with NiGHTS originally - they're basically the precursor to the Dreamcast controller, only a lot uglier) and, while I was at it, two of the original Saturn controllers (well, not the original, but the second revision). So I'll have something for whatever my tastes are at the time.

Picked up Metal Gear Solid for PlayStation, 'cause my copy got stolen. Also picked up the Bleemcast version, just to try it out. That comes with another copy. Heh. So, I'll have two copies of MGS again. I do indeed love that game.

I got Perfect Dark new and sealed for N64. Along with some gently used adult-owned gold edition Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask games.

Of Zelda, I'm finally getting into them. I never had 'em when I was a kid, but I always liked the idea. So I've started playing A Link to the Past on my GameBoy Advance. It's good fun so far.

I have a replacement screen for my GameGear. That will hopefully get installed tonight. I pulled the old one off last night. Weee!

Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance is finally getting some play. I'm almost off the ship (hey, I just started yesterday). Just gotta take three more pictures...

And, of course, Dead or Alive JP import for Saturn is on its way here. I might even get it today. Then, I just need to get that Saturn, and get a switch installed. Wee!

I think that's about all for now.
