Today’s gets.

Still no time to enjoy.  My last gets post was too long, o I thought I would put thee guys into a new one.

Ok, it’s all about gaming today! 

 

Original SNES cart, instructions and box for Chrono Trigger!  Boooyah! Never had a SNES and can’t use, but a nice addition to my set.

 

Fantasy Zone collection for my Saturn.  Opa-Opa rules! Waku-Waku 7 which I hoope is a quirky but cool Streetfighter-esque game.  I was surprised to find that it came with the 4MB Ram cart as well!  Great!  Another for my collection, I already have about 4, but another can’t really hurt!

 

And a PS3 Batarang Controller.  Feels nice, with a somewhat 360 ish setup.  I remember thinking the 360 had a good controller for FPS’s so am looking forward to giving it a crank on COD World at War!  Or Fallout 3, Duke Nukem, and any others I come across.  It has nice flashy lights too!  review when I get to it….

 

 

Sigh.  Back to packing.

Latest goodies. Little time for fun…

These arrived over the past week.  Sadly though with an imminent moving of abode on the plans, I have very little time to enjoy them.


Firstly we have Sonic Underground DVD box set.  Which is complete.  I never watched Sonic underground, mainly because it looked terribly weird.  Sonic has siblings? And is a Prince of the realm?  In a Band?  How do they come up with these concepts…  I do look forward to watching it though.

Shin Shinobiden (or Shinobi X as it released in the English speaking lands) fro my Sega Saturn.  A L-R shooter, much like all other games of the Shinobi series, but with digitised sprites far the characters.  Much like Mortal Kombat 1, 2 & 3.  Might have been cool in the day (unlikely) but looks a bit naff now, there is something odd about the look of the animation.  A nice addition to my collection for amusement sake.  It has cheesy cut scenes acted out as well. Hilarious!!

GI Hoe Specialist Trakker.  I usually have no interest in GI Joe, but this guy has an interesting history.  Much like the Machine-Men (Gobots) toys of the 80’s making a crossover into the Transformers universe (EG BugBite in the Botcon “Game of Deception” and Fracture, a black repaint of Mirage for the Movie 1 line), Trakker is Matt Trakker, the leader of M.A.S.K.  He used to get around n a sports car which had gull wing doors and it could fly with jets.  He had a mask called Spectrum which could project holograms and fought against the evil V.E.N.O.M and Myles Mayhem (who cameos in the Animated Allspark Almanac).

Hatchet from the Movie 3 Line of Transformers.  A nice ‘dread’ TF.  It’s a small size, erm Commander class I think it is called, but equivalent to scout size in the old scale.  Compact little jet mode, and a cool animalistic robot mode.  Paint it white and you have Sky-Lynx.

Finally, Batman: Arkham City.  After Arkham Asylum, there was no way I was going to miss out on this baby.  I got a steel book edition which has a nice cover.  Absolutely incredible game let down only by the crappy TV i have been playing it when not at home.  OH and the annoying message telling me how to counter blade attacks, which I rarely do successfully, so I just go for the dodge, but the message won’t go away, blocking my view of the battle.  Therefore leading to a slap in the face and the end of my combo run…

Into the city, Taka’s kitchen and Ramen?

Another trip into the city and another exciting adventure (I guess).

 

I love Ramen, the delightful noodle soup dish originally from China but adopted by Japan.  Sadly here in Perth, Ramen is notoriously hard to come across.  Then I  heard about a place called Taka’s kitchen whipping out some ramen. 

Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2 Soundtrack!!

I spied this on amazon.co.jp while looking for ltd edition Sonic Generations and was quite surprised.  What is it?  Well, it happens to be the music from Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2 compiled on a CD.  Being a mad Sonic fan (especially his Megadrive outings) I had to nab this.

 

Classic Sonic & Motobug by Jazwares

Oooooo! It’s fat little chubby Sonic!  Just the way I like him.  For the imminent release of the brilliant looking Sonic Generations game, the good people at Jazwares have made some action figures! OH YEH!  I ordered a bunch online and then by a lucky chance found a limited selection locally!  So, I nabbed the 3 inch sized Classic Sonic and the next day I went back and got Tails.

 

So now I have a cute little gallery for this little guy.  Hmmm, retro!

Today’s gets… OCD Alert!

Classic Tails, ICO and Shadow of the Colossus collection and a gacha Linebeck!!  Linebeck, from Zelda and the Phantom Hour Glass comes with a ruppee!  Awesome!

Read on for a Game comparison.

From Denham to Monkey Mia, and beyond!! (Geraldton)

So after a fantastic night at Denham looking at incredible stars, seeing the Milky way after many years and a good nights sleep, we awoke to a beautiful day and some early breakfast.  We then packed our things to head north to Monkey Mia.  Monkey Mia is known for the Dolphin feeding and has a reserve set aside fro their protection.  It has also become a place of dolphin study.
