Post your latest retro purchase/acquisition

Probably the best thing about the game is the box art imo.

It is so mind numbingly boring to play, please don't ever play it! If you do play it for any reason, I can not be held responsible for what will happen to your life.

Reading through the Treaure wiki game list

I noticed they made a game I never heard of - a PS2 sequel to the Mega-CD game Silpheed.

Well, it was going for two pounds at ebay.co.uk, so I grabbed one - because I love Treasure games - even the lesser ones. Well NOT Guardian Heroes Advance - that was like some of living abortion from a parallel "Event Horizon or Hellraiser" type dimension that should have never been allowed to exist. I think it's the REAL reason Davros set off the reality bomb in Dr Who, he was just too ashamed to admit that he had played it.

Later this year I am determined to buy a VECTREX. My most wanted and desired of all retro machines.

There are some going for $2-300 on ebay US, and I think I'll go with one that has been reconditioned.

I was never going to bother, because of the cost of the games - which are realtively cheap, it would take years to collect some of the rarer gamer - but now you can actually buy a FLASH CART for the Vectrex and play all of the original games, (as had become more common for 8-bits and other retro machine) and ALL of the custom-made homebrew games - which outnumber the official releases due to the popularity of the machine.
