Was hoping I'd get them today, but I had no such luck...
Nice, I love the Genesis version of Battletoads, I was lucky to find a minty complete copy of that on Craigslist for 5 bucks.

I've never heard of Talmit's Adventure, was that Mega Drive only?

Ha Talmits adventure was an early platformer for the mega drive. It was the first game we did on the retro club we did. I thought it was a bit......special.

Yeah, from the little I've played of it, I think the Sega version of Battletoads feels allot more playable than the NES version. Just too bad it lacks the pause music from the Nes version.

When I play roms I have a hard time getting into some games (it's just too easy to click Ctrl O and pick a new one once you get bored or a bit frustrated) so I tend to buy the ones that I think has potential. Worked Wonders with both Sparkster and Dynamite Headdy, so I figured both Havoc and Talmit was worth a chance.

Then again Sparkster and Headdy was made by Konami and Treausre, so I can't really expect these ones to be THAT good... :P

Slap yourself right now. Vice City is better than that.

I have Vice City on xbox already and it barely benefits from the PC version. And San Andreas just has alot more content.

GTA was boring since GTA3. :x

That said, my more recent purchases are, from XBLA: Castlevania: SotN, Ikaruga and Rocket Knight. And from Steam I got me Civ 5. Been a while since I bought these things, but yea, those are the most recent games I got. =P

Traded a copy of Psychonauts (don't worry! still have an extra copy) for a boxed Alladin for genesis.

I would sure love to get this though.

It's really really underwhelming. The soundtrack too.
