Pain in the arse...

My Amiga 500 came the other day BUT the guy forgot to send the mouse with it! So essentially I can't really use it until he sends it. I dropped him a line about it and he's sending a couple more games with it as a kind of sweetener so that's not so bad I suppose, but still I'd like to have been playing with it by now!

Back to uni tomorrow, I'll pop in to a couple of shops before my lecture I expect, hopefully I'll come back with some goods to post here ;)

Happy New Year!

It's a New Year! Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011 and so on. I don't have any resolutions really, except for the resolution to buy more old games, har har.

With that in mind, I've decided to focus on collecting games for the Gamecube, for a little while. I'll still pick up other formats if I see any but primarily get Gamecube ones. I made up a list of the games I most want for the system, and once I get all of those (or even if I get all of those), and then maybe I'll think about trying to get a full PAL set. I found a complete (as far as I know) list of Gamecube games here. The games that made my most wanted list are as follows:

The Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess
The Legend of Zelda : The Wind Waker
Pikmin 2
Super Monkeyball
Metroid Prime 2
Odama
Tales of Symphonia
Fire Emblem : Path of Radiance
Doshin the Giant
F-Zero GX
Star Fox Adventures
Kirby Air Ride
Baldur's Gate : Dark Alliance
Wave Race : Blue Storm
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Mario Power Tennis
Mario Golf : Toadstool Tour
Pokemon Colosseum
Mario Smash Football
Final Fantasy : Crystal Chronicles
The Legend of Zelda : Four Swords Adventures
Wario World
Resident Evil 0, 1, 2, 3
Eternal Darkness
Timesplitters 2
Beyond Good and Evil

I made that list at the turn of the year, on Monday I managed to pick up Wind Waker, Resident Evil Zero and also Mario Party 4 in Gamestation for £20, so I've added those to my collection. I've decided also that I'm only going to spend £100 a month on games stuff at the most, and let it roll over if I go under. With the £20 spent already that leaves £80 for the remainder of the month, scary.

Here's a picture of my current meagre Gamecube collection:



In other news, I'm STILL waiting for my Neo Geo Pocket Color to arrive! :(
