The Chinese knock off game is going pretty strong these days! This Voyager 38 Series Optimus Prime unit I grabbed for 30 RMB ($5) in Guangzhou feels pretty good and has some die cast metal parts that the OG doesn't have. Vehicle mode never looked so clean especially in the front!

For any Transformers fans out there: the next time you are wandering around AliExpress and need a 10$ filler item mini Devastator has got you covered! Infuriating 2 part body build but pretty decent overall 👍

rounding out some non big box games are Puyo Puyo ($50), Dungeon Master ($17) and Gamera 2000 ($48) for the PS1 sneaking in to crash the FM Towns party. Panzer Dragoon style gameplay with our favorite turtle Kaiju so what's not to love?

Being patient and waiting for good prices on the proxy sites is sort of a fun game in itself as eBay prices for FM Towns is bonkers.

4D Boxing ($30) runs quite slow on the Marty and I have not played any other ports of it but seems to have an insane amount of options for a boxing game of the era.

The FM Towns library has been fascinating to go through but collecting for it is kind of a pain in the butt. Insane prices and hard to track down sold price history leads to a lot of yolo moments of grabbing games from JP proxy sites but the exclusive ports make the journey worth taking!

Streaming real WonderSwan games on the actual hardware has been so much fun so definitely looking to grab as many of the English playable games that I can 🦢

Here are my latest retro game pick ups from the last few weeks to get the retro game vibes going here on BlueSky 👍

Saw a lot of boxed NES games in various conditions for ($225) so at a bit under 12 bucks a title I thought it would be neat to add some cardbard to the shelf 📦
