Once again Nick and I headed out early in the morning, into the wilderness that is Omaha...  in search of all things great and gaming.  That was Tuesday.  Today, Friday, I sit here in a Nyquil haze... cleaning, taking pictures, cataloging, and stuffing my face with cold pizza.  Ah.. Nyquil... The Green Death.  The Nyquil haze is thanks to contracting only what I can describe as the plague from a coworker, all fun and games, until the Nyquil wears off and the maladies of the plague return with a vengeance.  Anywho, on with the show...

The first image, as seen in the small scores thread, are a pair of CiB SNES Star Wars games.  Super Star Wars and Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.. Ordered these from Lukie Games on Monday and they arrived Wednesday.

Next up are some scores from a stop at CD Tradepost on Monday.  Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, GTA Collectors Edition, Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits, Activision Classics, and Air Combat, all on PS1.  Soul Calibur II and...  Soul Calibur II, different systems.. yeah.  Street Fighter Anniversary Collection for XBox, Virtua Fighter for 32X, and then some Game Gear carts... Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Streets of Rage.

Onward to Tuesday morning...  a trip to HPB yielded a couple strategy guides for Twilight Princess (Gamecube version) and Dirge of Cerberus, as well as couple GC games.  Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, and some weirdo preview disc for Rogue Squadron III.

After leaving HPB we hit up a couple Gamers locations, one of those new Game Central stores (new to our area at least) that Nick mentioned last week, and Ben's Game Room.

I found Mega Man X7 (PS2) and Tomb Raider II at Game Central.  At Gamers I found Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Xenogears, Threads of Fate, Mega Man X6, a copy of GTA collector's edition to fill out the incomplete one I had last week.  At Ben's Game Room I snagged up Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider III w/ strategy guide, a matching controller for the PSOne I got last week, Goldeneye 007, and a lose copy of Super Star Wars (because I'm anal and don't like to open/close boxes over and over when I want to play a game).

It seems the theme for the week was Playstation, with a sub-theme of Tomb Raider.

How much did Xenogears and Threads of Fate set you back? Also, why do they always end up together? Cheesy
 
Threads of Fate was 16.95, Xenogears was 37.95.  Not terribly cheap, but worth it.  Found them at the same Chain of stores, but different locations Smiley
 
Nice find on the long box Air Combat!...i keep looking for one in good shape.

Also, did you know that it is possible to take the game out of a box once, and store it separately from the box to prevent wear and tear on the box?
 
@NeoMagicWarrior:
Yeah, but I'm weird like that Cheesy
 
and by "weird like that" I mean I like to put games back in their boxes when I'm done playing, if it's a complete boxed copy.  So to avoid that whole thing I buy cheap, loose carts of things I'll play on a regular basis.
 
i figured...im just being a smart ass. ^_^
 
Sadly I am not like that otherwise I would of kept all my loose nes games haha but those days were fun and yeah I am sick too but I think I have it bad I don't feel likes moving and I can barely see what I am typing. Hope you feel better so u can play some super Star Wars :-D so difficult but a challenge.
