Hello guys,
While I’ve had some difficulty lately and had just a little spare time to play games and read my mags I’ve found some time to try to fill some gaps in my collection.
I’ve decided that every month I’ll be spending a fixed amount of money coming especially from the extras I earn with my job and from the tips I receive. I think this is the only way for me to keep monitored my finances and not to exceed too much. I have a lot of expenses since the beginning of June so I cannot wast too many money on my loved collection.
However I managed to find some really good games at a decent price. And I’ve also received a super appreciated donation I’ll be talking about in a few days. One of the most important games that enetered my collection in the last days is Phantasy Star IV. After all the playthrough and reviews I’ve read from the WP community, especially from the loved blog on Hungrygoriya it was time for me to try this saga. Unfortunately I’m still missing the first two games but never say never. Until the beginning of August I had no PS games and now I’ve found two in two weeks. Hunting games can also reserve some good surprise if you wait 🙂
I’m always trying to put all my games and consoles in a decent order in my living room but I need a plan for all the cables behind the TV. I’m also thinking to put some LEDs on the shelves to give an aura of holiness to all of my stuff…and in the meantime I keep reading my old Retro Gamer mag. Damn I have still to read three mags before I catch up with the last one I’ve received…I will need a full immersion one of these days…

Yes! Phantasy Star is an awesome series, and even though I’ve only played the first game, I’m pumped to play the others going forward as well. I’m so glad you found IV!

Me too! Unfortunately it’s just the cartridge and is in a not so good condition but giving the high price a CIB copy commends I’m glad with thw cart only. Do you have some precious tips to give me before I start playing it?

Hey, condition isn’t always the central focus when it comes to wanting to play games! I have a few games with terrible labels just to have them. I wish I had some tips for you. I haven’t played the fourth game and haven’t looked up any gameplay of it so I don’t spoil myself too much.
