Been wanting to play this on PS1 for a while now, only I didnt own it on PS1. Hopefully the remaster is just as fun. Who else snagged this? #videogamepickups #gaming #ps5 #ps5games #videogamecollection #videogamecollector

Got these bad boys from Castlemania Games, who else got these? The Evercade is so underrated in my opinion. If you know you know. #evercade #evercadevs #gaming #videogamecollector #videogamepickups

I am still on the fence about this pickup, I loved watching the Dukes of Hazard growing up as a kid and of course was one of many that had a crush on Daisy Duke but idk, something about that flag on top of the car doesn't sit well with me these days, so we shall see if I keep this or toss it. #ps2

#madden26 Do Better!!! This is why I wait to buy these games instead of paying Full Prices. Still, there is no excuse for stuff like this. I hope 2K Sports gets the NFL contract back so they can make a better football game. #glitch #easports #maddensucks

I'm convinced #gamestop has a sticker fetish. Can't convince me otherwise. Why put FOUR STICKERS to seal a small holiday gift guide? You wonder why Gamestop isn't doing too well? Here's ur answer. STOP BUYING STICKERS!! #gamestopsucks #gaming #videogames

I was kinda of shocked that I didnt already own this on the 360. It must've somehow slipped my radar. I've beaten the NES version maybe 5 or 6 times over and this version maybe 3 times. Its a very fun game to play. Anyone else have this version? #ducktales #xbox360 #gaming #videogamepickups

Sorry I havent posted in a bit, my life is going thru a busy cycle. We have waterproofing going on in the house and in my gameroom. After the flood in there we decided to get it done and it was a ton of work! After pics will follow as soon as reconstruction is complete.

So I Missed out on the Vol 1 run of Genesis Carts released, had the Vol 2 preorderded, but then LRG took one of the carts away & released these on Switch. Canceled my OG preorder & got these instead. Tho it wouldve been cool to have the carts, I'm definitely happy w/ it on the Switch. #gaming

@strictlylimited.bsky.social Ummmm can u please explain why I had 3 preorders refunded without explanation or anything? If this had to do with extra shipping costs or something why wasnt I given the option to pay more for shipping or something? Seriously, just cancel and refund and no reason why?

So I grabbed this one cuz I have it for the Switch but I feel like it being an FPS game, it would run better on the PS4. What do ya'll think? #gaming #videogamepickups #videogamecollector #videogamecollection #ps4 #ps4collecting

Sometimes I like grabbing Steelbooks if I like the Art Style on em, this was one of those occasions. Swipe to see. These were just steelbooks and no games as I already have the games. #videogamepickups #gaming #videogamecollector #videogamecollection #steelbookcollection
