Some pickups from a swap meet today:



How did Heavy Nova look and sound badass but end up being "terrible"? Also glad I squeezed some deals on Metroid II and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

I remember the coverage in the old magazines and thinking it was probably going to be a fun game.

GET BLACK HOLE ASSAULT (Sega CD)... One of the few boxed Sega CD games I own.

Saturday's mail brought me a copy of Quest of Jong Master.

Not much going on the McHenryGames front. Analog audio and a downgrade to PII 233. The cable worked great with the CT1600 soundcard.

The PII didnt work, gonna try with another mobo. For now PIII 550 @ 366.

Picked up Shovel Knight; cic from a place called CEX for $20. Unplayed.

All in all I'm happy with the game; it's awesome! There needs to me more new titles like this

Nice! I've been waiting for the next sale to grab on it on Steam myself. Don't ever see myself getting a PS4 (but I'll have to borrow one some time).

They released Shovel Knight as a physical on Wii U and 3DS as well, plus they're doing a Vita run later in the year I think.  So, plenty of options.  I played a fair bit of it on the Wii U but haven't finished it yet.

The vita is a limited pre order. It's already for pre order. Can't remember if it was I am eight bit or another similar on line store

Thanks! I was actually pretty shocked to see it on the shelf; normally small-run games (at least I assume it is) don't show up for sale in the middle of a tourist area. After talking to a few folks in chat, I went back the next day and it was sitting in the window so I snatched it up. Happy with my inaugural PS4 purchase!

It's on fangamer. Still a month or so to pre-order for anyone interested. You do get charged right away.

Recent pick up. Gamesack made it look to fun

Well, the $9.99 sale I was waiting for came around, but from GOG, not Steam, so I finally bought it!

Get ready for justice, shovel justice!!

For Windows PC, it's a 150 MB DirectX game that works fine so far with my USB game pad and Windows 7 64-bit system. It just needed to upgrade the DirectX and VC++ runtimes though.

I bought it on sale from GoG awhile back, it's such a good game. I always try purchase DRM free whenever possible.  They have some other 8bit retro style game called Oniken onsale for $1.50 at the moment.

I have the Wii U version and playing it with the Plus controller makes it IMO the definitive version. Great level design seems to be a fading skill in newer 2D games but SK is an exception. Mighty #9 should've paid more attention to this game.

The 2 player mode on the Wii U is actually a lot of fun. It was a good addition to an already good game. If this game has 8bit+ graphics, I'd like to see a sequel with 16 bit+ graphics.
