Bought Toilet Kids today.  Should be here in a couple weeks I figure.

LOL, I bet you can't wait to fire it up

You got that right!  Ha!

My brother sent me Super Mario RPG and Micro machines for free

Every few years I play through Super Mario RPG.  Such a great game.

Anyway, I'm just about done with my game room. Added a 2nd 40" TV, and hooked up all the systems and tucked the wiring out of sight.
It's 100% functional now. Just need some kind of comfy game seats, as right now theres only a spare twin bed that I sit on while playing.

Just wanted to say I really like your twin TV-setup - very stylish! How well does those Samsungs perform for retro gaming though?

[tpivette]

Thanks for the compliments!

The samsungs do pretty good. I don't have any CRT tvs to compare them to, though. All my gaming for the last few years has been done on LCDs, so I don't remember what they looked like on the old school tvs.

Either way, they do look pretty cool though! Always gets a "wow" from people when I show them

Picked up outrun, atro warrior, and rambo for the SMS from a cd Tradepost store. I actually Keith courage and blazing laser but since I already have those so I didn't buy them. Also got Dracula x from samurai last week.

Yeah, I played through it last year and it definitely ranks up there with the other Mario RPGs. I've been on a quest to beat them all before the new Paper Mario comes out, I'm stoked!

[roflmao]

There's a new one coming out?  Aw man....  I need to finish The Thousand Year Door! (I totally missed out on the N64 one)

Oh, wait.  I don't have a Wii.  I'll probably miss the new one as well.  

I've had The Thousand Year Door since it was released and STILL haven't completed it (though I dink around in it every few years and make a bit more progress).  It's good, but there's something about the SNES Mario RPG that makes it indescribably fun.

The new paper mario is coming to the 3DS not the wii.

Thanks for clarifying.    Sadly, I don't have one of those either.

I ended up buying A reprint copy of Sapphire and a CD-R made for the pc engine of Rockman...im excited...

You should try to do a straight play through of thousand year, maybe it's nostalgia blocking my view but I'd call TYD my favorite RPG.

That's probably my problem.  Gaming time has been at a premium for me for the past few years (since my kid was born) so I find it very difficult to dedicate myself to just one game for very long.  As hard as I try, it's only a matter of weeks before some new (or old) game makes me go "ooh - shiny!" and all of a sudden it's been 6+ months since I last played TYD and I have to figure out where I am and where I need to go next.

So the moral of the story is "Don't have kids until you've played all the good RPGs."
