Game Boy Micro
Skived the afternoon off and went into town. I was in search of a couple of items, namely; anything Dreamcast related, and a game boy micro. According to the monkey in GAME, game boy micros are no longer manufactured - so they don't have any. Not even in the trade-in section. Utter tosh. I hate that shop.
I buggered of the Entertainment Exchange (CEX - try saying that out loud) and they didn't have any either - in both stores. Crap. eBay it would be - but I couldn't be arsed buying one on eBay as I already have a couple of games and just want the system ASAP for some portable fun gaming.
Enter Gamestation. I went to the counter and asked the emo-girl there if they had a game boy micro at all. She was obviously excited by this, as she jumped up and down and said "oooOOh! I don't know! Give me a sec!" so I waited and she popped back with a Game Boy Micro. Well, two of them. One blue and one silver. Sorry, one silver and one "really funky blue" one. The inner hedgehog in me spoke up; "blue please". £14. Bargain.
Time to boot up Sonic Advance 2 and 3 and see if I can actually play those two games. If I can, I can give a little review about them - what with them officially being in my sega collection!
They also had a copy of "Confidential Mission" on the Dreamcast. This was £9.99 and I jumped at the chance. I didn't get it when I had the chance, and now I have 2 light guns, it's a worthwhile purchase. Review to follow soon!
Not a bad little find to be honest. It's always nice getting what you want.
Skiving on a Saturday eh?
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of staff like that; they waste people's time and money.
Remind me I've got a weird little Sega thing to give you!
To be honest, the girl was actually really helpful. I think she was so excited because, unlike everyone else in the queue, I wasn't there to pickup the latest 360 or PS3 game - I had a genuine question.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the weird SEGA thing! See you at lunch on Monday -12:30.
I meant the guy in GAME ;)
ReplyDeleteOh yeh. He was a moron, but it was more upsetting to me that there's nowhere but eBay for all the retro/slightly older games and consoles.
