Video Game Ad of the Day: Hagane: The Final Conflict
by Matt Keller on Aug.16, 2014, under Video Game Ad of the Day
Hagane: The Final Conflict is the poster child for so-called hidden gems that have exploded in price on the secondary market due to spikes in demand through increased exposure. The game is decent but not worth the $US275+ it seems to command.

Video Game Ad of the Day: Streets of Rage II
by Matt Keller on Aug.09, 2014, under Video Game Ad of the Day
Streets of Rage II is pretty much the best game on the Mega Drive. Great graphics, one of the best soundtracks of all time and arguably the best gameplay in a 2D beat ’em up.

Trying to keep it realistic this week.
3 x HES games for NES – Sidewinder, Duck Maze and Arctic Adventure – Soft plastic case versions. No manuals, though.
Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Limited Editions (PlayStation 2)
NES game bundle with Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse – Seller doesn’t specify which games have manuals, so ask first.
NES game bundle with Ufouria, Duck Maze, Arctic Adventure – Again, seller hasnt said which ones have manuals. HES games are the cardboard versions.
Mario Paint (SNES) – Might just be my shitty eyes, but the rear of the box looks a little sunfaded
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (Game Boy)
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (Nintendo 64)
Video Game Ad of the Day: Bubsy 3D
by Matt Keller on Jul.26, 2014, under Video Game Ad of the Day
Widely held to be one of the worst games of the fifth generation era, Bubsy 3D is a shining example of just how wrong things could go during early 3D game development. The developer, Eidetic, did eventually learn how to make good games in 3D – they went on to develop the Syphon Filter series and became a first party Sony Computer Entertainment developer known as Bend Studio.
