Sacred Line Unboxing (Sega Genesis)

Sacred Line for the Sega Genesis is a brand new Graphic Adventure game developed exclusively for Sega Mega Drive / Genesis console. It’s an extended version of the original Sacred Line game.

It tells the story of Ellen, a private detective, who is trying to survive in Eastern Europe. Lately detective business, which she inherited from her missing sister Sarah, almost ceased its existence and one day before she was going to close her office she got an anonymous call. The unknown asked her to find some hidden forest outpost and told her about its position. That was just the beginning.

 I found out about this game just looking up "homebrew" games for the Sega Genesis. Homebrew games are games not made by the console developers, but fans of our old systems. It was sold through the Watermelon Games Magical Game Factory. The almost 30 year old Sega Genesis being my absolute favorite console, to have someone making new games for it is very exciting.

 I purchased this for $39.00 shipped, comes with everything except and actual Genesis game case, which I have plenty of extras of (Sports games are good for something), Lets take a look at what I received.

 Nice, Looking good so far, Looks like a standard Sega Genesis Cartdridge. Aside from the notch on the left side, but from the pictures I have seen all Watermelon games carts are like this.

Comes with the Cartridge, a Manual, some Stickers and what looks like a Dice.

And the Case Artwork (wish it wasn't folded up the way it was, but no biggie)

The Artwork in a Standard Genesis Game Case

And the Game and Paperwork In the Case

Here's the game filed on the game shelf with it's Original Sega Brethren

 However......... I do have one complaint (come on, it's me afterall), The Game manual.

 The manual is the size and same layout as a N.E.S. (Nintendo Entertainment System) Manual. I really wish it would have been the same size as a standard Sega Genesis Manual.

Overall I am impressed with the quality and overall presentation. I have played some so far, and enjoyed. I plan to do a complete game play through on my You Tube Channel. Part One is up now.

Here is a link to a Full Play Through on my You Tube Channel, as I understand it, there are multiple endings, and eventually I will play again, and see which others I can get.

Sacred Line Full Play Through

Wolfenstein: The New Order

 My 4 year old was tired early tonight, and she was conked out and snoring by 9:45p, Since I had some actual time to myself, I decided to crack open the Wolfenstein: The New Order game I picked up for the 360 the other night, and give er a whirl.

 I have been playing Wolfenstein since the original Wolfenstein 3D game on PC, Always a good time. This game is no different. I started playing about 10:30p (had to install disc 1), and next thing I know I get a text, and it was 12:30a!

 I was immersed in the game, and did not realize 2 hours had flown by, I also decided to record some gameplay footage with my phone, and I uploaded my 1st You Tube Video, Link below.

Target Clearance games!

 My daughter and I were on our way to an appt, and we ran into Target to kill some time (Ok, I also had to pee) and came across some clearance games. for some nice prices!

Wolfenstein The New Order. I was going to wait until I got an Xbox One to pick this up, but for $8.98, I couldn't not buy it. Alot of people have said it is a Great Game! So, when I get a One, I will play it a second time.

 Next up, Midway Arcade Origins for $5.98. Has 31 Arcade Classics. A few I am looking forward to playing: Rampage, 720, Gauntlet, Gauntlet II, Marble Madness, Smash TV and Spy Hunter, Just to name a few.

 And, how often do you still find New, Sealed Sony PSP Games at a Retailer? God of War Ghosts of Sparta, also $5.98.

I did however, have to ask my daughter to "bum" dad some money. I left my wallet 30 miles away at home, on my desk........ Thanks Again Mir!

And another Goodwill find from Wednesday, A Sega Dreamcast Fishing Rod Controller, In nice shape, 0.99

That'll do it for today, Later Y'all

Odd DVD Case

 I was unpacking, and going through one the DVD boxes and found this DVD set I had bought last fall. It was still sealed, so I figured I would just open it, and put it on the "to be watched" shelf.

 When I opened the case, I was surprised. I have never seen a DVD case like this before, and we have ALOT of DVD's (1,000+). The DVD's are in paper sleeves (like old PC Games) and the case is molded to hold them.

 Dungeons and Dragons The Complete Animated Series

 Yes, I played D&D, and remember watching the Cartoon growing up. I believe I paid $4-5.00 for this.

An odd DVD case I have never seen before, I found it interesting enough to share.

Sony PSP vs Nintendo DS

 I was bored today, and was able to finally pick up a game for the Sony PSP I had been after for awhile.

 I have had the game for the Nintendo DS for awhile, and have been searchin' for the PSP version. Finally, an ad popped up on Craiglist yesterday, a person had it for $5.00, Complete and in Great Condition. I picked it up, Star Wars Lethal Alliance.

 Anyway, I couldn't help but compare the two. Plus, Like I said, I was bored.

 First, lets take a look at the Packaging

And some screen footage. Using my PSP 1000, and Nintendo 3DSXL. The 3DS has a Grip thing I got off eBay for $5.00 shipped, definitely helps my hands during long gaming sessions, I recommend it. The only downside, is the stylus is inaccessible, so I have to keep it loose, I have lost (and found) it a bunch of times.

 The PSP definitely has the better picture. I did notice the DS loads faster though. Let's take a closer look at the screens.

Nintendo DS on top, Sony PSP on bottom

Overall, I am really enjoying the game. I am further along on the PSP version, and prefer it of the two. 

Hope you enjoyed.

Factory Sealed Games

 Over this last weekend I was out doing the Thrift Store Game Hunting thing, and I had the fortune to find some Factory sealed video games.

 At the Goodwill I frequent, I found a Factory Sealed PS3 Game, Dragon Age Origins. Fun game, I played through it as a warrior on Xbox 360. I don't play my PS3 much, but I had been wanting to give this game another play through as a Rogue, so here is an excuse, for $2.99!

Then, since I was headed over to my parents house in Brooklyn Center, I decided to swing by a Thrift Store I have only been to once, last August. And lo and behold, they have a few Sega Genesis games (which is my absolute favorite system), One of which is Factory Sealed.

 It may be a sports game, but to find a 23 year old sealed game for $3.49, I am not going to complain, it just means I won't be tempted to open it. Plus, I want a complete set of games for the Sega Genesis, Including Sports Games so....

Nintendo Game Cartridge Cleaning

Whaaaaat? 2 posts in 2 days?

 As I previously mentioned, I like to hit up Garage Sales and Thrift Stores for Cheap Video Games. I am a collector, and am just looking for things to play. With the exception of Sega Genesis, I want a complete collection, including sports games I will never play. Anyway, sometimes these games are dirty or in rough shape, but as long as I can play em, I don't mind. Today's example is one of those.

 I bought this game, Multi Racing Championship for the Nintendo 64, for the tidy sum of $1.00 at Savers. As you can see it is in a little rough shape, and there generally is no way to test them at the garage sales and thrift stores. Cartridge games however are pretty durable and reliable, unlike today's disc based games.

 So, after 5 Minutes, 2 Q-Tips, my old toothbrush I use for cleaning, a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Some Windex and Goo Gone, the cartridge itself cleaned up pretty good. The label, well not much I can do there, but the game plays great, and is fun!
