I'm super biased for Honey & Clover so of course I'm going to say it's good! I'm going to buy the DVDs too when they come out! :D Now for the stuff that arrived today! Oddly enough, I didn't have to pay any duty fees and taxes for this. o_O Not that I'm complaining. I should try the T-shirt on now. I really hope this stuff doesn't shrink. >:/ Wow. Koreans (or at least the people that play the game) must be really skinny people cuz XL and L isn't much different in size! *sends a bomb to the T-shirt manufacturer* |

... Looking at that box, I think I REALLY want it! How is the artbook in it? (Because if that is worth it, I'm most definitely getting it!) (I love you guys for introducing me to Play-Asia by the way!  ) And Soma Bringer! I hope it comes out in english too one day!  |

I got a working NES today with the first 2 mario games. I totally whipped out Zelda 2 today, and leveled Link waaaaaaay up. God I missed NES, big time.
I also have this 31 in 1, and after a bit of internet reading I opened the cart to find a Japanese cart converter built in. I can now import Jap NES games, which is cool, n stuff.
I took the liberty of killing the lock out chip on it too, as it was causing me some problems, but oddly enough I didn't have to replace the pin. I hate doing it and I was glad that it still worked.

Ok while I can't take a picture of my ebay account, Ill post what I purchased. As everybody probably knows I have embarked on replenishing my NES collection. I lent all my games out years ago and never got them back!!!. I went nuts on ebay today so let me know what you think
Megaman 2 and 3
Castlevania 1 2 and 3 - Complete
Contra 1 and 2 - Only first game complete
Zelda - complete
Super Mario 3 - Complete
Blades of Steel
Dragon Warrior II
Dragon Warrior I - Complete
Startropics - Complete
Ninja Gaiden I - Complete
Abadox
I know there are a ton more classics which I dont have, but what I really want is Dragon Warrior 3 (I wont bother with 4 as its coming for the DS, and the original is $150), Megaman I and IV, Double Dragon I and II, Ninja Gaiden III and a few others.

Solstice is a really cool game, but very frustrating too, because you have to restart from the beginning every time. And there are no continues, either. If you get game over, it really is game over.  But there's a small cheat code that gives you 32 lives. Very useful stuff. |

I see. It has been almost ten years since I played it. I don't remember much.  But to be honest, I'm not sure if I even found out what those coins were for. I don't remember that either. I do remember that I found the game very frustrating though. For many reasons. |

Good news to start the day, now if only I had a copy.

It is definitely a Wyrdwad-game. A platformer kind of like Pocky and Rocky, but worlds better. It is auto-scrolling, upward... I think. It's been a long time since I played it, but I really think it is auto-scrolling, but at the same time, I am really unsure. Some people say it's an action rpg, but those people are mad. It's a platformer, with some mild shooter elements. It's nothing like an rpg, save for the towns that you visit between the levels. They're just there to make it resemble Xak on some small level. But they're mostly useless to the game itself. |

You mean the label on the CD? Y.e.s. Argh, I should have remembered the noun for that. =s *ashamed* Anyway, it's the greatest. xD I'd put that on every CD I have. xD |

I got my Ys I and II DS! Finally!!!  And since I was ordering away and was so incredibly excited about it, I threw this in too! *happiness!* This is my first actual proper game soundtrack ever!  Eh heh heh... this was my first time ever ordering something online and... wheeee! I was so so extra excited about this! (Well... ok, not exactly the very first. I had once won an Amazon coupon and so ordered a volume of the Suikoden manga. But since shipping costs were so high(!), I got it sent off to an American address.  ) So this was kind of like my first 'waiting-for-parcel' experience! And so I kind of went insane checking up on the EMS site! A good thing too, since apparently the accursed customs had apparently confiscated my parcel and were too lazy to examine it or even inform me about it! D: (I'm so hyper, I called up the Postmaster General... XD) I had no idea customs tax was so much though! DDD'X (Yay again for lazy officials though! He wanted to go home quick so he cut my tax from 100$ to... 10$! ) Anyways, I didn't get an artbook. Or the map. And I only got one of those dangly hanging things (I wanted the glassy looking one...). But no matter! I'm delighted enough with this! And I got the Super Joybox 3 Pro thing too. Now I can play Felghana! *is busy trying to figure it out* |

I advice you to avoid EMS like the plague, those packages almost always get stuck in customs, making the shipping time much longer than a regular (and much cheaper) airmail package.
And that's not it. Not only is EMS insanely overpriced, you also get to pay even more extra for the customs. I have only had an airmail package end up in customs once. EMS, almost every time.
Damn I hate EMS.

Ack! And I almost picked airmail! D: I was just afraid that the Post Office might eat it up! I think I'll try that next time. Pick one soundtrack or game or something. Ehem... and here I was thinking I should go for FedEx next time! |
