[The Jackal]

[old man]

Hm. I bought Operation C about six months ago. Sounds like someone put it up without comparing prices, and I just got lucky.

Your Castlevania story reminds me of when I found Mega Man V here locally for about $5.00. Unfortunately, I did know what I had, so I immediately turned it around and sold it for 10x as much on ebay. I definitely wouldn't do that now.

I got pretty lucky with my copy of Castlevania II. I think you even commented on this bundle a while back in the haul thread. Some guy was selling a bunch of surprisingly valuable games as part of a bundle, including Castlevania II and Metroid II, both with manuals. I think it averaged out to about $7.00 per game.

I don't think that was me. I rarely go to the haul thread. I think I'll go after some Final Fantasy games next or maybe another fast action game like Operation C.

Do you already have Ninja Gaiden Shadow? You might also want to give Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues a chance, since from what I played, it is quite a bit like Contra/Metal Slug.

^Blimey!!!

Who's more creepy-looking? Nicholas Cage or Ray Liotta?

Face/Off was a good movie.

I got Ninja Gaiden Shadow new BITD! It's still in pristine condition too. I've seriously neglected the gameboy since my youth though. (a situation I intend to correct) There's tons of cool fast action games for this little system that you can get for a song on ebay. Stuff like Battle Unit Zeoth, Fortified Zone, and Cosmo Tank may not mean much in the greater scheme of things, but they're loads of fun with a lot of no brainer, pick up and play, replay value. The gameboy has loads of these and plenty of weirdness to boot like Catrap, Cyraid, and Nail N' Scale. It also has what I consider the most playable versions of Bionic Commando and Ghouls and Ghosts. And since many games have emulator glitches it's a great system to collect for.

Here are some other oddities that I proudly have in my collection. You should check them all out, if possible.

GoGo Tank
Gremlins 2 - Actually a really good game, although quite short. The music on the last two levels is excellent.
Kung Fu Master - I don't know if this is a port or not, but it appears to be a bigger, better sequel to the game we know in the states as "Kung Fu."
Mario's Picross - Probably the best puzzle game on the GameBoy.
Mercenary Force - Terrible graphics and music, but strangely addictive gameplay.
Mole Mania - Awesome action/puzzler. Highly recommended.
Mystical Ninja - Yeah, it's on the GameBoy, too! And I have it! (never played it, though)
Nail 'N Scale - Hey, I got this one, too! (along with Battle Unit Zeoth, Cyraid and CosmoTank)
Ninja Boy - Don't know anything about this game other than the fact that I have it and the sequel is better.
Ninja Boy II - Don't know anything about this game other than the fact that I have it and it's better than the first one.
Snow Brothers - This one was hard to track down, and yet remains the least-elusive version of the game released in the US. Better than Bubble Bobble.
Spot: The Cool Adventure - Played McKids BITD? I did, and really liked it. For some reason, they turned the main character to Spot for the GameBoy version.
Stop That Roach - Another game I had to watch and watch and watch Ebay for. Plays nothing like Catrap, but I'd put it right there in the same league.
Tail Gator - Very cute and solid little platformer NOT made by Nintendo, which is oddly enough a rarity on the system.
TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan - HAH! I love this game. The most-basic and best of the 3 TMNT GameBoy games.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? - There's a Sunsoft version and a Capcom version. I have them both. The dude behind this game later went on to create some scary game on the Playstation for Capcom. "Evil" something...

I always enjoyed Nemesis for the gameboy, many wasted hours on that one.

[MrMatthews]

I beat that one just recently, along with the sequel, Gradius: Interstellar Assault.
