Ok, it's not as excessive as the list seems. The large number of NES games are actually a shoebox of games I finally found that were lost for the last year or so. Also the large number of Xbox games on the bottom are actually all on one disc. An arcade compilation that had like 20 games on it.

Even still, that's a lot even for me in one month. The thing is the vast majority of these games cost about 10 or less with few exceptions. Most were also new.

Rad Racer - that brings back memories! Only beat the Greece stage by coasting to the end. When time's up you don't just stop - the gas cuts off.

Ice Hockey for NES, how generic sounding. Sports games either has to be over the top or be officially licensed. I DARE YOU TO FIND AN NES CARTRIDGE OF TECMO SUPER BOWL!!

DR.Mario, an excuse to put Mario on the cover. Same thing for Yoshi's Cookie.

Double Dragon, 80's awesomeness!

Super Mario 3 was extreme for its time. It's still an imposing game to this day. Don't take the warp pipes and it wears on you. Ice World 6 has left me scarred. Giant world 4 is an okay gimmick.

Soul Calibur II, playing on the dual shock is painful. Compared to the Dreamcast controller, it's a necessary evil. I would love to port a dreamcast controller to PS, it would make Soul Calibur so much easier. I feel Mitsurugi was downgraded. Have fun with Heihachi, though. Also Talim is comborrific! Have fun dispatching much stronger characters with those quick tonfa!

20 games on one disc? Sounds like a Midway collection. MORD SHOT THE FOOD!

I never played Wild Arms 3. The heroine looks cute, though.

If you're just going to play games for the heck of it, play Dance Dance Revoulution complete with dance pad. Also, start Gran Turismo or Forza motorsport.

I don't know if I have any Gran Turismo games, although I do have several racing games overall in the collection. I've been tempted to pick up a DDR with dance pad for a while now, although odds are if I do get it I'll take it over to my sister's to play instead. Game like that is more fun in groups where you can be embarrassed.

I have Soul Calibur 2 on the PS2 now but also on the GC. If I find a xbox version of it for 5 bucks I'll probably pick that up too. Based on the dreamcast controller design, your best bet to play it comfortably would be to find an old xbox and get that version. The controllers are extremely similar.

Ice Hockey -was- generic as well. It was one of the early titles on the NES. Your team consisted of a group of characters that were 1 of 3 types. Regular Sized, skinny, and "bulky". Skinny ones were faster but obviously not as strong. The bulky ones were the opposite so were good for fighting. Overall a fun game to play although I probably preferred Blades of Steel by the end of it.

And yeah, it likely was a midway collection. Or namco. I dunno which offhand
