Pennies From Heaven

What I assumed would be a light drizzle quickly became a monsoon for the collection this week. First let's start with the only game I actually bought this week.

 Yes, the one, the only, BurgerTime. When I think of classic, straightforward arcade goodness, this is one of those games that immediately comes to mind. It's the classic tale of chef Peter Pepper raining down divine retribution, consisting of buns, lettuce, and burger patties, on fearsome minions of evil such as pickles. You can play this game for 30 seconds and know all there is to know about the controls and what you're supposed to do. Simple. Fun. Ridiculous. I love it.

Now comes the monsoon. As I said before, I only bought one game this week, but there were 19 other games that came my way...for free.

19 Sega Master System games! A friend of mine had found these in his father's garage. He knows I collect and just gave them to me. I even offered twice to give him something, but he refused. How cool is that? The two games I am most excited about are Phantasy Star and Ys(which I forgot to include in the photo). Those two are worth a pretty little penny too. What's even better is that I only had two of these already, Black Belt and Thunder Blade. When I get my room finished up from all of the construction, I'm going to have a ton of games to play through. So a big "thank you" to my friend Shane for the massive hookup here. Wow, you just never know when something like this will fall into your lap. To borrow a line "That's the way game chasin go".
