Update: Zombi U and Dark Souls II are now part of my collection. I got both fot rather cheap.

Just got Civilization 5 and Total War: Shogun 2 with the contest money!

Nice purchase ^.^

That reminds me, I wonder if Total War was that game that @Scipi played?

Thanks! And my friend was nice enough to give the the Brave New World DLC for Civ 5

Total war is a series of games, they have Rome, Rome II, Shogun, and I think Attilla.

I just got the Mario/Duck Hunt combo cartridge and a Zapper gun to shoot ducks to my heart's content!

I have all the Total War games so far. So pretty much yes

Cool. Also I just got Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow for the DS. I hope to have time to try it soon because it looks even closer to Metroid/RPGs than the other Castlevania games I played so far (Simon's Quest, Castlevania, Castlevania 64, Castlevania 83+ and Dracula X)

I hope it doesn't have a 50-minutes-long Game Over screen like in Symphony of the Night, though

I wonder if they ever made HD CRT TVs...

I think you can get 720p on a CRT, maybe even 1080i, but I'm not sure about that. It depends on the cable you use. With a composite, s-video or SCART cable you're limited to 480/576i, but component can go up to 1080i and VGA even higher. Since CRTs don't have physical pixels, if the beam supports high frequency timings it should work but I've never seen that besides PC monitors (which go up to 1280x1024 I think).

Edit: well damn. http://www.ripten.com/2011/09/22/did-you-know-john-carmack-coded-quake-on-a-28-1080p-hd-monitor-in-1995/

$10,000 Monitor 
Imagine a $10,000 gaming rig today...

IIRC, the highest resolution CRT is 1080i. But they must have been short-lived

And wow at the $10000 monitor . When I was kid, a good rig was like $5000.

So Nintendo decided to re-release some titles as Nintendo Select (formerly Million Seller and Player's Choice) titles for the Wii, Wii U and 3DS: http://www.technobuffalo.com/2016/02/16/nintendo-selects-north-america/

Interesting to note is that Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Super Mario 3D World, Ocarina of Time and the Mario All-Stars collection are included in this. Those games were very expensive, so for $19.99 each (or $29.99 in Canada) this is a good deal, since it's less than half the original prices in some cases.

What shocked me, though, is that they are still producing Wii games. I thought the Wii was discontinued and that the last game ever for it would be Monster High or Rodea the Sky Soldier. On top of that, the Mario All Stars collection was meant as a limited edition item, yet they are re-releasing it.

So I just got Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga 2 (PS2), Mortal Kombat 4 (N64) and Ikari Warriors (NES) for $15 each. Not sure why the PS2 game was listed as used, since it was in what seemed to be an original shrinkwrap, but I guess maybe it was opened at some point. The store had restocked on retro games, but they only have two SNES games and most NES games are still sports games. I need to go to the two retro game stores in Quebec City with @Juju at some point (there are also two pawn shops but they have a poor selection overall)

Bump: I finally got Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for the Wii U and Super Mario All-Stars for the Wii. Not sure if I'll open the latter, though, since I mostly bought it as collectible and I already have it on the SNES.

Omg quintuple post

So I basically got Zelda Triforce Heroes for $15 yesterday, along with WWE 2K15 for Xbox One and Legend of Kay Anniversary for Wii U. The wrestling game was $12.50 and the other game $8 so it wasn't too bad. For some reasons, though, the Wii U game was opened.


That reminds me, does anyone here have Triforce Heroes? I heard it was much better in 3 player mode, but it apparently plays in single player. I bought it mainly because it was 70% off so the trade-in value is almost the same as what I bought the game for, meaning if I don't like the game then it's pretty much like a rental

Now I got Omega Quintet for PS4 and DKC2 for SNES. Both were expensive, though >.< ($45 each)
