Lmao at the prices of Elevator Action Returns. What game will rise to insane prices next? Galaxy Fight? Cyberbots? Golden Axe The Duel?

No, it's smooth all the way through, there is just a slight pause when Shang Tsung morphs and that same slight pause with fatalities. The PC version suffers the same.

Ah, great! Maybe I'll get it next time I see it. Ultimate 3 and Deception are the only mainline Mortal Kombat games I don't own any version of.

It's a bunch of anime-themed titles (Eva, Slayers, GeGeGe no Kitaro) and a few other randoms like Quovadis, Zap Snowboarding Trix, and Airs Adventure. Nothing to write home about. Unless you know Japanese, you probably won't get much out of most of these.

I figured as much. Thanks.
You can read about the MK games on the Saturn here.
Saturn UMK3 basically is just PSX MK3 with the characters and stages from Ultimate. Still, it's probably better to get than Trilogy, which is really expensive for Saturn.
Will do.
Interesting that NBA Action 98 on Saturn is made by Visual Concepts. A precursor to Sega Sports on the Dreamcast?
It's always difficult for me to honestly recommend Legends... I mean, I watch someone playing and it looks really good, it genuinely conveys that DBZ 'feel'. But then I start playing it myself and damn, it just feels like a clunky mess. My favourite DBZ on the Saturn (and one of my favourites in general) still remains Shin Butoden.
Wow, out of nowhere - to me at least - that The House of the Dead (I assume it's the US version) went so much higher in price.

HotD has been expensive forever. It was another one of those late era limited print run games.
Ha, didn't know about it.
I've always collected - and still going on that way - Japanese games for myself, and yeah a brand new THotD cost me little to nothing, a few years ago. One downside of the NTSC-J game though, is that it doesn't seem to allow the 'red blood' cheat.

Got this from JonathanNemo the other day!
I've been playing it on and off at their place when I visited every once and a while and have had fun so far. I didn't know where Camelot originated from before playing this and talking with Jon.
That info mostly stemmed from me saying "This is Golden Sun." a short bit into the game. (Going to order a JP version and put it in that case since these huge ones are flimsy as hell.)

Yet another version why the Japanese cases are better. [/datSevenDevilstroll]
Nice pick-up too.

Oh yeah almost forgot this too!
It's fairly silly and hilariously broken from what I've played of it so far.
Yet relaxing and quite enjoyable in short burts. With Astra Superstars, one of my personal 'must play at least a couple of matches' every time I fire up the SS.

Great game, I expect it to get pretty valuable in a few years if it isn't already.

I'm actually playing through this right now. I believe I'm a little more than halfway through. Theres little to no grinding involved and the bosses I have encountered have the right amount of difficulty, nothing cheap. I love the particle effects and the use of Pixies is really cool. And the music that is played in the Armory at Enrich is amazing. I've gone in there, put the controller down so I could listen to it longer. Great game so far, good pickup.
Edit: I would post a link to the music, but I can only find it in a Lets Play and the guy playing won't shut up so it's hard to hear.

I recall having to do a fair bit of grinding, myself - particularly early on, when you're trying to reach the castle from the village in the north but have to go through both a forest and a catacombs to get there, with 1-2 bosses in the mix (I know the forest had one, I forget if the catacombs did).
Wish my copy had a box; I only have the game and manual. Bought it and Guardian Heroes (with box but no manual) for $60 in my freshman year of college, 2006 or so...

I don't recall ever grinding in Holy Ark. I agree with SevenDevils, the game is tough at times but never to the point where you are forced to grind.
Great game, those dungeons are insane.

I grind out of habit from other RPGs. The game's pretty hard without a guide though. Can't miss any of those pixies!
That was my take on it too. you want to get all the pixies, but for that you need to hit every wall or use a guide, both taking any enjoyment out of it for me. I don't recall much grinding, but looking for the fairies and the encounter rates makes it a bit grindish at times.

Once you clear a dungeon and revisit that area, say, to go back to town a save, buy armor etc...the encounter rates drop significantly. I went back through the graveyard and had only 3 encounters. So I guess if you wanted to grind, do it in area before you exit the first time.
Here's my latest pickup. I already own Sengoku Blade and I hear good things about Gunbird, so can't wait to try it out. My console is away for maintenance at the moment, but should be back soon good as new - which is a good thing, since now I have this, Rockman X4 and Astal ready to be played.
I'm planning on getting that one next.

I recall there was a period where Tryrush Deppy wasn't all that pricey, and it was only a few years ago?

It's been on the expensive side for quite a while. Pretty sure I got my copy around 2008 for $90.
Not when you get the closing shift on Christmas Day. :/

Yup. Always been a rarer game with a pricetag to match.

The first time I saw Deppy was in a '97 gamefan mail order section.
I kinda want X-Men as its one of the only straight up X-Men fighters. No crossovers or anything. Also Omega Red has the best theme.

Akuma's in it.
He sure likes to guest star a lot. His EX version will be in the next K-Mart VF.
