Currently building my GB/GBC/GBA, DS and 3DS collections. Specifically i'm trying to hunt down a copy of NASCAR for 3DS that doesn't cost me as much for the shipping as the seller asks for the game, it only got an overseas release sadly.

Oh and a PowKiddy V90 - what an awesome little GBASP lookalike that actually improves on it in quite some properties.

A legitimate copy of pokemon sapphire. i had kinda thought it would be a) a pipe dream to get and b) never show up locally. i was wrong about both, with me seeing it at my local retro game store about a week ago and getting it just this monday
Cost me about 60, 65 bucks, but it's a lot cheaper than some of the prices I saw on ebay. i may not have grown up with it, but im happy about it.

It is ridiculous how expensive older Pokemon games got in the last few years. I'm quite happy I got them for acceptable prices a few years ago.

Only stupid part for Ruby and Sapphire was having to get out the soldering iron in order to replace the burned out batteries before actually starting a game. What was going on with them, when they came up with clocks inside games and had the batteries soldered on? That was a crazy idea.
Have fun with Sapphire!

Thanks! surprisingly enough, it seems like the game was kept in good condition considering that when I first booted it up, I didn't get the "battery has been dried out" message. I might do a exploration of the save file before I download the .sav file for it.
Looking at your collection, I kinda wish I had gotten a box with it. Then again I can't complain much since it's a miracle i managed to find it locally in the first place. Nice collection btw!

Makes me sick, thinking these were worth like $30 at GameStop about 10 years ago. Oof. Congrats on getting it though!! R/S/E are my favorites.

Omg those boxes bring me joy to see, and so nicely taken care of, too!! I miss the boxes I had for them. Ruby and Sapphire were just so shiny, I remember loving seeing them on my shelf. And wowza, I forgot the wireless adapter existed, what a time!
