From what I remember, my local library only has a handful of games, all of which are from the latest generation of consoles. They have an annual library sale that is often used to get rid of some of the older or neglected material. It's coming up in the beginning of November, but they either never sell old video games or they are bought very early on. I still look forward to going for the books and music. There's always a nice buy to be had. |

I tend to dislike a lot of newer games. I think that, while the graphics and other aesthetic dimensions are impressive, the gameplays are often weak and boring. I guess I'm old school when it comes to computer games.

How old-school are you? Are just an 8-bit guy, or do you also like N64/PSX era as well? |

I picked up 3 NES games at the flea market: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, DuckTales, and Tecmo Bowl. TMNT works fine, but the other 2 are still battling dust problems so I'll have to clean them.

I got Duck Tales going, but Tecmo Bowl is still causing some problems. I haven't played my NES in around 5 months, and I find it takes frequent use to keep it in working order. I'll keep chipping away at it, but now I'm out of breath. If I have some time, I might crack open the system and give it a proper cleaning (never have yet). Someday I'll plunk down the money and get a top loading version of NES to avoid some of the common problems. |

Must admit, I've been lately addicted to the public servers on Enemy Territory. I'm not much of a player usually, but somehow this game hooks me every year for a few weeks every time, usually at autumn, haha...

I finally got all the Nintendo games I bought to work. I had to open up the system and loosen the connector pins so they'd spring back into position. The only downside is that the games are held in too tightly, so it may scratch the contacts of the games. I'll try to flatten the contacts just a little bit to avoid this as much as I can. The games also run much better (better than they ever did) when you don't push down the spring holder for the game.
The things I have to go through for my old-school fix ... |

I started Resident Evil 4 yesterday, and I've got a feeling it's not gonna get renewed. Simply not my thing at all. I might give it another shot later tonight, though.

I played a bit of StarTropics today on NES. It's a fun game, and probably one of the best (at least in terms of story and depth) in my tiny Nintendo collection.
I might head to the nearest Cash Converters (pawn shop) tomorrow to see what they have. |

Ended up picking up Faxanadu. I haven't played it yet, but it seems like a solid action/adventure game with some RPG elements.

It's now 20 days after Black Ops... and it's still on heavy rotation. Those wager matches are incredible!

I must admit that I have very little idea of what Black Ops is, instead I'm playing this nice Zeldaish game:
I just realized that the last games I was expecting to come out were probably the first Baldur's Gate and Final Fantasy IX, god I'm old
