Heh, don't get too wrapped up in your games while you're there though, I've wasted two trips to Florida on video games. One on Pokemon Silver and the other on Super Smash Bros. I shouldn't say wasted... I spent plenty of time on the beach and all but after supper I generally didn't leave the condo.
No but it's still a good find for $5. And even more off-topic, I used a version of the same strategy to get Ogre Battle 64 and Mario Kart 64 for a total of about $5.
A lot of times it's hard to jump right into RPGs after being away from games for a while. Don't play your huge RPGs until you feel the love again. Start small such as with a Mario game. I've always found that Mario 3 puts me in the mood to play other games. If that's still too much move to Mario...
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned it already but according to what you like I'd STRONGLY recommend Bionic Commando for NES. It's one of the best platforming games ever, comparable in mechanics to Castlevania and Contra. You also might try any of the Wizards and Warriors games for the NES. SNES...
Sorry I haven't had time to upload more today, I've been working, hanging out with friends, and buying games for my collection (by now you've probably seen the thread) and I only have enough time to post this message before I head off to Xbox Live where I'm meeting a friend for Halo 2 action...
Here's the latest goings on with my collection. I went out to my local blockbuster and another local video store (the one I work at...) and bought the following games for a total of $25:
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine
Ms. Pac Man Maze Madness
Mario Golf
Vigilante 8 2nd Offense
Spiderman...
To both of you "max" guys, I can't wait to get my hands on Dragon Warrior 2 and 3. I've played through 1 but when I started up 4 it just felt... wrong. I'd already have them but the only store nearby that has them wants $45 a piece SHEESH! I told 'em, $25 for 2 and $30 for 3 and you got a deal...
Raw scans uploaded so far:
Perfect Dark
Smash Bros
Kirby 64
007 The World is Not Enough
Mario Party 1
Mario Party 2
Mario Party 3
Rayman 2
I'll upload the rest when I get some more time.
Minor problem... The resolution you guys requested for the width of the front and back seems to be about 70 pixels (or so) larger than what my covers are scanning at. I don't know if that number is a typo or not but I'm not doing anything wrong over here... I'm going to keep scanning until...
Alright, I'll get a move on and upload yall some covers. Let me know if my methods don't work for you guys.
Edit: The official count is in: I have 17 covers that aren't listed nearly doubling the current list. Let's hope others get in on this action too.
Basically I just kind of gave up when it came to cropping the spine and rotating logos and such... I think it would just be much easier and come out better if I just scanned 'em and let you guys handle the rest.
Also, on Pokemon Stadium (a cover I have I can scan) the case is awkwardly shaped...
I have 22 covers I can contribute to the project, some have already been submitted and 1 or 2 are probably too damaged to be used but either way I think you guys are looking for any covers you can get. The only problem is I'm not too great with photoshop and... either way the directions are a...
So far on my "to buy" list for my N64 I have:
Banjo-Tooie
Bomberman 64
Diddy Kong Racing
Donkey Kong 64
Jet Force Gemini (thanks to the recommendation)
Edit (Just saw Judy's post): IGN's system is too... Funky for me, plus their value system doesn't work for classic games. I'd rather hear an...
