Ordered a RetroGEN for $20 from GoGamer (well, $26 w/ shipping).

Picked up the complete series of Baccano! at Best Buy for $10, after a $10 Reward Zone certificate I had.

Also won a free copy of Jing King of Bandit: Seventh Heaven a few weeks ago.

Animu!

Fuck the haters, I love my RetroGEN, and I paid double that. Speaking of portables, I took a gamble with an Amazon seller and got this:

A brand new Anthracite Neo Geo Pocket Color, sealed in original packaging. I'm a little giddy, so I went to ebay and ordered this to go with it:

For a little under $100, a brand new system and some of the best portable games ever made. Now I just have to decide if I want to hold out and find a Nyko worm light or if I want to just rip apart my new system and install a SP front light into it.

If it's worth anything to you, I hated the wormlight. First off, you can't use it by itself. You have to use it with Nyko's form crushing battery pack. Made it very uncomfortable to hold. Secondly, about the only position I could find where it didn't glare off the screen was dead center of the screen, which makes it kinda hard to see what's going on there.
If you've the capability, I'd recommend the front light installation.

Yet you missed the best game on the system, Neo Geo Cup '98. That's kind of embarrassing.

The best game on the system is second one from the left on the second row. Pseudo-sport games aren't beating that one. At least fighting games are smart enough not to determine the four-year champion on penalty kicks.

Diff: I already have it. It's awesome.

I bought a system when it was new, and I had several games for it, but the old system barely works now and I can't find all my games. And I agree with Yoshi, MOTM is the best portable game ever, with the possible exception of PSP Ridge Racer. It's one of the games I have but I can't find.
