I had to hit a couple more Gamestop's on the way to work today to take advantage of the sale on last gen games. Pickings got meager and a few were too pricey for what I think these games are worth. Here's what I got today:

The breaks are on but the car hasn't stopped. That's how I describe my game buying binge at the moment. I stopped the more recent game purchases but this buy-2-get-1 free sale on last gen stuff at Gamestop still has my soul until the 18th, Saturday. This time I found six games at $4 each, my prefered price range for older stuff. Here's the list and some notes:

Got the following games. What is it will old games holding their value at Gamestop these days? My current theory is that because people are buying digitally instead of physical, there are less trade-ins and so prices go up for what Gamestop has in physical copies. The theory doesn't seem to fit for last gen games though. I'm paying like $10 a game right now and they should be more like $5. It's annoying to me. Here's the list for today:

I was playing 1981 games on Midway Arcade Origins, backwards compatible Xbox 360 game on Xbox One, when I discovered Satan's Hollow listed as '81. No matter that wikipedia says '82, I'm going with what the collection says. So I played it and thought it was good.

After playing several other games on Atari Flashback Collection Vol. 2, I looked around for other 1981 games I might have missed and found Stellar Track for Atari 2600. I'd never played it before, so decided to give it a shot. I nearly gave up at first because it seemed too complex but I stuck with it and found a fun game.

Konami's arcade game Strategy X is one I never saw in the arcades or even knew about until I saw it on Game Room on Xbox 360. I'm thankful for Game Room bringing a bunch of Konami games I never heard of.

Just a short gaming session today. Got some retro action in on Activision Anthology and then played Minecraft with Mark for a while.

I had an interest in playing multiplayer today so I jumped in Mark's Minecraft game. Then I played some retro arcade games on Midway Arcade Origins and then more beautiful button mashing in Odin's Sphere.

As thundersnow boomed outside, Mark and I gamed it up. I did some retro '81 games and challenged Rangergirl again in Pinball FX3. Then the power went out and I switched to 3DS and ran a dozen Miis through the gauntlet of Mii Plaza games. Then, when the power came back on, I got into Odin's Sphere Leifhrasir in a big way the rest of the day.
