Been after Pokemon Blue on GB for ages, but in the recent months, its shot up from around £10 complete/boxed to around £25, so I've been missing out greatly.

A miracle happened last night, and I won an auction for a boxed/complete one for a whopping £13 delivered. So happy!

So Happy, that I bid on the sellers other auction for Pokemon Red boxed/complete which I won also for £16 :P

Some serious nostalgic gaming coming my way in the next couple of days !

I am surprised Nintendo havent addressed the older Pokemon games by combining them all into one big version. Red/blue/yellow could be combined quite easily as one. Gold / silver already got the reboot and I have played Soulsilver to death. Seems a shame to leave them so far in the past. If they can do it with Game and watch , im sure they could rehash the older pokemon.

I only played and cared for Blue/Red/Yellow, back when Ash was the main protagonist at the time of Pokemon.

Id rather they stay where they sare tbh. Too many re-do's, rehashes and remakes at the mo, Blue, Red, Yellow are safe at the back.

Up to the 3rd gen the games were great. 4th gen is when they went downhill.

Ive only ever put time into Soulsilver and crystal - Soulsilver has backwards compatibility to the GBA games but I dont have any of them to trade pokemon from. Meh.

My son plays Black / white but they looked a bit flashy for me - all flash and not much else different.

"true dat"

I always used to stay away from cash/crack generators/converters because there prices weren't that different to new a few years ago, but the recently they have a quicker turn around on prices, maybe due to the high volume of stolen goods they have to shift lol

Alan Wake was in last Friday at £7.99 so a drop to £3 over the weekend is pretty good. Also picked up MvC3 (original release,no DLC) for £2.99, in all fairness the disc was hammered but nothing a squirt of WD40 and a quick install couldn't sort :)

I can go into these places with £20 - £25 sometimes and walk out very happy....

Bought a copy of Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit from CEX using some credit
Bought Dragon Ball Z Final Bout and Ultimate battle off Amazon for a few pennies each.
Also picked up Alien Trilogy on PS1 for 50p from Cash Gen

Oh and I also got that Zombie Driver game that's on offer on Steam today. Seems decent enough to spend just over £1 on
