Down w/ Ipod touch, up with retro games!
Darkanubis87 \| 8:45 PM on 02.19.2009	7 comments

So i got my tax return and i ordered a new pc and had about 300 left (the pc was quite a deal) so i thought i might get an ipod touch to easier music listening to at work. But then i thought i already have an mp3 player i don' really need a new ipod. So i went the other way technologically. I spent like 130 dollars at my local retro store. Here are my purchases.

not pictured is Diddy Kong Racing for the N64, picture is :a N64, Turok Rage wars which i love for various explainable reasons, PokeMon Blue and Silver, Lunar Legends, Turok 2 for the GB (was free) and tony hawk 2 for the gb (also free) and also a Game boy SP. It was freaking awesome, best way to spend a tax return ever!!

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

lol @ getting a Touch just to listen to music

I got the state return today and am looking at getting two games with it, and the federal return will get me something more, I'm sure. *shrugs*

These retro game stores you speak of, what are they called? The only yesteryear gaming places I've seen is GameStop, and they're not selling anything outside of dwindling stocks of last-gen games. I've forgotten what it's felt like to look through old games on systems I still own somehow.

@HYDROTONIX: Its lunar legends, i believe a port of the Lunar game, not sure which one.

@DOOMSDAY FORTE: Im in Austin TX and its a local retro game store that's florishing actually, its expanded to three stores. Its called simply Game Over.

Doomsday Forte

Wow, that's an amazing name for such a store. XD I'm in Indiana and the closest I've heard of that may be close to that is Video Game Exchange, but I've been burnt by them before. May as well give them a look-see soon..
