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.

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
