Building a New Collection!

A Gift is a Precious Thing to Waste

I recently received a set of strategy guides for some really great games for next to nothing the other day.

Each guide I received (about 6 in total) are all published by BradyGames, with various authors.

Some of the guides I decided would be better suited to be sold straight away, just because of the cost that go with the buying the accompanying games.

Super Ghosts n' Ghouls - Super Nintendo

Last week, I purchased a small lot of retro games off of one of my local suppliers.

In that lot, there was one of my favorite Super Nintendo games.  "Super Ghosts n' Ghouls"

According to "The Angry Video Game Nerd", the original game, "Ghosts and Goblins" for NES is "Castlevania" and "Mega Man" all rolled up into one, and it is, for the most part, an "unforgiving adventure into the lowest rings of Hell!"  He's great!  I love his works and am also a fan of his buddy's Mike Matei's work as well.

In the BradyGames Strategy Guide Lot I acquired the other day, there was a strategy guide for three Game Boy Advances games, "Street Fighter Alpha 3", "Super Ghouls n' Ghosts", and "Megaman: Zero" respectively.  I used the guide immediately to help me through the last three levels.

***Up until I acquired this guide, I had been keeping my Super Nintendo on for fear of losing my place in this insanely difficult game.  (That's a no good for old systems!)

Even though the guide is technically for the Game Boy Advance version of the game, it was highly compatible with the original, Super Nintendo version of the game that I had.

Okay!  It's mission time!  

This is what I currently have pertaining to the guide:

• Super Ghouls n' Ghosts
• The 3 game Strategy Guide
• A working Super Nintendo

I have a Game Boy Advance arriving in the mail very soon (ordered from eBay).  

My mission, no, my duty, for the next few weeks is to complete the bundle!

Where there are missing games and platforms on which to play those games, the missing pieces will soon be filled in.  It might be a week or so before I can get it all worked out, but it's the goal, baby!  

Any interested people can contact me at christopher@stepdownliftoff.com for purchase information.  That is, of course, after the collection is complete!  Haha!  

Well, thanks for reading my thought for the night!  I love "Super Ghouls n' Ghosts" and "Mega Man" games.  "Street Fighter" is always a classic too!  After I complete the collection and enjoy the games, I would be delighted to pass them on to another retro video game fan for a fair price!
