I'm a very happy bunny!

NES with two controllers, Captain Skyhawk and Golf - £2!!! :D :D :D

Another one of the perks of volunteering, the guy who tests the electrical items couldn't find the cables or the games so he was going to scrap it. A bit of digging later, I found said cables and games and ended up putting all my loose change in the donation box as "payment". Bit cheeky maybe, but better that than going in a skip...

300th (seperate) Dreamcast game arrived today. Standard Edition Gunlord. Pay day just been, so will try to take that figure higher still before the end of the week!

Harvest Moon: A Tale of Two Towns for the 3DS. It seems like a typical Harvest Moon game so far, and my only gripe is that the implrementation of the 3D effect is awful. Turn up the slider and objects like buildings appear to be floating. Still, it's a 2D game, so I don't see the point of using the 3D effect anyway.

Bought that today as well, 100% agree with you. I've just found out that ShopTo are selling this on the original DS too. If ever a game didn't need a 3D "upgrade", it's this. Awful, awful 3D! Nobody's feet seem to touch the ground!

Sorry theres nothing there i want :(

I'm after a lot of bits that have come out in the last few months and a few odd JRPGs so may have to sell it to get funds towards them. Catherine, Dragons Dogma, Atelier Totori/Mereru, Hyperdimension Neptunia, Cave Story 3d, Saint Seiya to name a few.....
