Buyer's Remorse #38 - Zartan's Identity Theft

Hey gamerfolk!

Super Robot Tyson has returned! It's been a little while since I dropped some BR knowledge for my peeps, so let's gather around and gaze on my gamey goodies!

Actually, before we get started, I have one thing to say...

The cat's name is Shadow Moses.

I have speared the biggest white whale on my want list and rolled around in it's succulent blubber! I have filled the hole in my soul with a Real American Hero. G.I Joe is here!

 Let's sing:

"Crashing through the NES...comes the game I missed: JOE NES!! JOOOE NESSS!"

THE VIDEO KING HOLY CROSS!

If anyone has listened to Two Crude Dudes or read the blog before, you've probably picked up on my desire to recreate the arcade style scenario from my favorite childhood video store. Video King was my favorite place to hang out because they had a Cadash arcade unit and this big triple cabinet with three televisions and three Nintendo systems hooked up. The large unit had a coin slot and you could drop in 50 cents and play 10 minutes of NES. When the time was up, a light would flash and you could add a quarter to play ten more minutes. The three games in the unit were GI Joe, Rockin' Kats, and Yo Noid! I vowed years ago that I would own a Cadash arcade and those three NES games complete in the box.

I purchased the box and instructions on ebay from a Canadian seller at a fair price and then traded three games to a local Winnipeg collector to land the GI Joe cartridge. He knew how desperately I wanted one and gave me a great deal. He's a super nice dude, actually.

A great sense of peace washed over me and I found myself filled with tranquility. Maybe my game collection was complete? Maybe I could stop the hoarding and just read a book or play a musical instrument? Maybe I could sit down and actually play some of these amazing games? Fuck it, let's go shopping! This time I can get a head start on my soul hole and not let it get as big as my Joe hole was.

Here's some other stuff I bought:

 

 

 

This whole lot cost 40 bucks! I only kept one game and the rest were for a buddy.

 

 

Dragon's Revenge is the follow up to Devil's Crush on TG-16. Awesome!

Everything I do, I do it for you.

Headless Scorponok failed his driver's test.

You might have noticed that one of the games above was Einhander! That was the other amazing white whale that I nuked off the wantlist this week. I've wanted that game since the day I played the demo in 1998. I saw it at a game store for $49.99 and I knew I had to have it. I traded a scratched and creased copy of Mario Party 7 that I got for 5 bucks, Ninja Gaiden Wii U, Skylanders on 3DS, and Ultimate Spider-Man on Gamecube for it. When they asked if I had a membership card I said "Uhhhh, yeah! My name's Tommy!" and they looked up Tommy's name in the computer and gave me his discount and a boost in trade values. Best part was when the guy looked down and Einhander had a sticker on it that said "On hold for Tyson" after I lied and said I was Tommy. I was like "Derp hurrr derrr...Tyson's my roommate!" I'm getting quite skilled at pretending I'm Tommy to use his discount cards. After my discount deception and trading in my shitpile, Einhander only cost me $6.11! What an amazing score! 

This is not the first time I've done my Tommy impression to save money on games.

All jokes aside, identity theft is a crime, kiddies!
