o man Snake Rattle and Roll is such a fun game. Really liked that one growing up. Giana Sister is a great one as well. Good month for sure

Great month. Even with James Pond, while I don't care for the game, the value is there to use as something to flip down the road. :) Congratulations on your growth lately, my friend!!

Nice box! I've got a soft spot for Snake, Rattle & Roll. Super Giana Sisters is such a good pull. And SMS card games are always great to get, so that's fantastic.

Snake Rattle and Roll is such an underrated classic for the NES, great soundtrack. I've still never beat the final bigfoot at the end of the game.

100% agreed. I've been loving my time with it!

Now that is an excellent box. Gina Sisters looks awesome! Added to my wishlist. Transbot looks like a fun afternoon.While I don't think I would keep the other three over the long term I think I would have some fun messing around with them.

James Pond 3 is the only legitimately awful experience in this box - everything else I've at least had a good time with. :) And Giana Sisters is AMAZING - absolutely track it down!!

I feel like that lighting comment was directed at me 😅 Also, what a fantastic order to pull the game in. So much tension. So much story. The elation of getting Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams after the disappointment of the Snake Rattle and Roll duplicate, all culminating with your first Master System card! What a ride!

Great haul! Always good to see some Master System love. Those cards are so cool to have, and Transbot is a pretty fun game for what it is. Look forward to next month!

If you go into it knowing that you're not going to be sent things like Little Samson, but you'll instead get the opportunity to play games you don't own? You'll love it.

A friend of mine seemed to go on about Snake Rattle & Roll all the time way back in the day, but whenever we hung out we'd only play either Marble Madness or SMB1-3. Pity to find out that Robocod doesn't play well after all. I enjoy the puns in the title & it always looked like a solid trilogy of platformers based on screenshots in magazines.

You know, it might get better or at least become more accessible the more I play it - but first impressions of James Pond 3 were not positive. I'm gonna keep on with it, though!

A nice mixture of systems in the box.Stinks about Snake Rattle and a roll but it happens.

I don’t own a Sega card yet either. That was a cool pick up. 🤙🏻

I’m actually starting a subscription to this this month. I’m currently only set up for cartridges because I don’t want to hassle with loose discs. Are loose discs something that is common from them? Or do they tend to send completes when they send disc based games?

@SquarePegs

I think carts are the way to go, personally. Not because I've gotten an abundance of disc-based games out of their original cases, but because carts are more resilient overall. I do have Dreamcast, GameCube, and Wii U on my list of platforms, but I primarily get sent stuff for Cart based consoles.
