Nice Nec!!! Ya tales from the dark side rocks.

Holy shit that's so cool!!  I totally forgot about that release!  Are there still more available?

Yep. I think you can still get any version.

Yesterday I got an MVS cart of Magician Lord!   

[Necromancer]

Besides my sweet Secret Santa swag, I got Borderlands 2 and World of Final Fantasy for Vita.  Though not game related, I also got some DVDs that I'm looking forward to watching:  Running Time (more Bruce!) and both seasons of Sarah Connor Chronicles.  I hope Santa was good to the rest of y'all too.

I recently received a 2600 UNO flashcart and Stranger of Sword City (Vita).

A couple of days ago I received a Miyoo Mini! It's tiny and adorable.



Here's where I got it from: https://www.keepretro.com/products/miyoo-mini
It looks like they are sold out but are shipping more in Feb. They are still available on Aliexpress for about the same price, though.

Recent purchases have brought me 14 new (to me) PC-FX games, 100 new white jewel cases to replace the various broken and yellowed ones in my collection, and a USB adapter that lets me use a wireless mini TG16 pad with my Duo.  Good stuffs!

[Necromancer]

Today's mail brought me Strife Sisters, a homebrew hucard game.  Woot!

[tsuran]

Finally part of the club! Found one locally. The box is super beat up, and It's really yellowed, but just excited to own this beast. Now I just gotta get some games for it! 

[Necromancer]

Noice!  I have a few dupes laying around here.  Anything in particular you want?

Honestly I never thought I'd get one. I havent looked into many specific games, I know the library is mostly VN style, I think. Any games you'd recommend?

Unfortunately, the best and most gaijin friendly games are also the priciest.  Thankfully, though, most systems are good with CDRs.

Zeroigar - a pretty good shewty that has a great translation patch
Chip Chan Kick - a fun two player game akin to Parasol Stars
Zenki - a cool side scrolling brawler
Ruruli Ra Rura - a derpy platformer that feels unfinished but I still like it
Pia Carrot - a naughty dating game that has a translation patch

Great list to get you started!  I would add in Sparkling Feather and Last Imperial Prince. They're both RPGs, but can be pretty easy to navigate through even without much Japanese speaking/reading knowledge. and both incredible games!  (SF has an auto-battle option) so you legit can sit back and just sim through the whole game.

Also, grab the Anime Freak demos/games as they're fun to play around with!
