Turtles, Batman, Bayou Billy, Snake rattle and rool, probotector, and wrestlemania were some of my favourite games as a kid.

The rest were just part of the bundle.

Image


Only Starfox game I was missing.

Image


£10 from a friend.

Image


A few Xbox games I have been wanting for a while. Was not really interested in Marvel vs capcom 2 as I already have a copy and TBH I was not interested in Final fight at all, but at least it is still factory sealed. Looking forward to playing Shenmue II again.

Image


Not Exactly retro but I like to collect current gen games that are part of a long running series, as they tend to be the kind of games that are hard to get later on,

Image


And Finally some PSP games to add to the collection.

Really nice selection of games there, made me want to hit eBay and pickup some more NES games :-) (although I can't :-( )

I know what you mean, I hate it when you have that itch to buy some old games, but for whatever reason you are unable to. I find that I always find the best bargains or interesting stuff when money is short. Its like the retro gods are mocking me or something.

Found this on ebay for £5. A copy of Tomb Raider Legend PS2 with a cardboard sleeve :o I just happened to notice that the photo looked different from the others, I never knew it had a version like this.
