Step By Step, Day By Day

Sadly enough, I've been unable to do much in the way of adding to the pile the last week or so. It's really sad when you just don't have the money to take care of the necessities like buying 25 year old games that need a loving home. But I digress...

These were picked up from a local lady I met a few weeks ago at the garage(say it with a French accent) sale. Although the games were pretty darn dusty, the labels are in really good shape. I already own Super Mario/Duck Hunt and Super Mario 2, but Donkey Kong Classics and California Games are new additions to the family. Dig that high cut swim suit(say it like Balki) on the California Games label.

And I'm not really sure why, but I've always liked the Donkey Kong Classics label for it's choice of orange as the background color. Really, how many games use orange as the main color for their label/cover? I can think of The Orange Box/Half Life 2 game, but that's all that really comes to mind. I suppose if I actually had readers, I would be snowed under in "duh, so-and-so game had an orange cover"-comments, but having anyone actually read this stuff is very much not an issue.

Remember when they moved from their small Chicago apartment to that castle?
