The Neighbour Sega Master System

Recently i have been collecting some games to my SMS collection. I could say that the SMS its one of the best Sega consoles, but lets get real, there is any bad Sega console? Hmm, i know your are thinking about the SEGA CD, and probably are calling me crazy, but really who didnt you have a little bit of fun with some of the awesome Sega CD games? It was a mark in the videogames history. It was the start of a new generation.

Well back to the SMS, was one of the first sega home console worldwide, and my first experience in the game consoles. 

Like any kid, i got really hooked, but for my sadness the console was from my next door neighbour. I remember playing a lot of Shinobi and Desert Striker. Very nice and addicted games, i got glued to the controllers, but at the end of the day i always got kicked out of his house. 

During that time i never got my own SMS, i have to get my addiction from my DOS games, using a ton of floppy disks to play a game… Later on i got a Genesis/MD and a Saturn, both awesome systems!

In the last years that i have been collecting more activily, i start searching for some gems for the SMS, and this week i got, really cheap, two great games for the system. Both classics: Streets of Rage and Gaunlet!

Soon i hope finding more gems for the SMS, its such a great system with a lot of great games. 

Sometimes people seems to forget the SMS, and focus on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and Saturn. I guess for a collector thats goods, cheaper games haha. Compared to the Genesis and Saturn, some games get crazy prices, like the Panzer Dragoon Saga.

Sega Master System – Fun Facts:

– The original name of the system was: MArk III (In Japan) and Power Base

– The fisrt home console with 3D glasses!

Final Fantasy Main Series Complete! (kind of)

Hello!!

This is a happy day! Finally arrive the Final Fantasy I (famicom) to complete my collection of Final Fantasy main series (except online games XI and XIV). Its one of my favorite franchises of all time.

The first time i played Final Fantasy, was Final Fantasy VIII. Was probably my first JRPG too. I was instantly hooked, it was something completely different from everything i played. I was kid, so i was used to platform games, beat up’s, driving. When my brother offer me Final Fantasy VIII, i played for months! Never a game did that. Its a very special game. Besides its a collector edition! Very rare to find nowadays.

After FFVIII, i was eager to play and collect all the other games for the Playstation, since was the system i owned at the time. When i got older i started to search for the other Final Fantasy games in Super Famicom and Famicom.

The other games based on Final Fantasy universe i was never a big fan, so never bought any. Now that i finish the main series, i will probably start looking into that and also other versions, like Japanese versions.

Also looking forward for the Final Fantasy XV! 🙂

 

My recently purchase its a special edition exclusive in japan. The Final Fantasy I wonderswan edition. That includes the game Final Fantasy I and the system Wonderswan! When i got it in my hands i totally write something about it 🙂

 

Some Final Fantasy Funny Facts:

• Originally Final Fantasy was going to be called Fighting Fantasy
• Final Fantasy I was made with a team of just 7 people
• The Final Fantasy series’ most iconic melody was written in five minutes (Prelude).
• In the GBA, PS, PSP and iPhone/iPad versions of Final Fantasy, a gravestone in Elfheim reads, “Here Lies Link,” a reference to Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda

 

 

Nerdy James has born!

Hello nerds!

This is my first post in my personal gaming blog! For some years i have been thinking in start something related to my passion to video games. I collect retro, modern games and consoles, of course i also play a lot.

Have been inspired for some youtubers and bloggers, for example MetalJesusRocks (Youtuber) and BlondeNerd (Blogger). I’m always watching and reading a lot related to this awesome hobbie. I’m always learning about new games that i didn’t even know that exist, some hidden gems and crazy special editions.

In this blog i will talk about the games that mark me as i was growing up, the feelings and had impact in my life. I play mostly RPG, and some of them was like living a second life. I was really absorbed in the games.

I will also monthly do a “Recent Pick ups”, where i show the games that i bought in the last month. I will show some stuff from my collection too, that i find really special. I’m a big Final Fantasy fan and collector, so i will show time to time something related to the series.

In the future i’m also thinking doing some videos, but for now i will just stick with writing!

Hope see you around, also sharing some games and experiences!
