Even more new purchases

After a long time I finally decided to pick up an SNES Mouse, as well as a few old school FPS games.


The Mouse wasn't sold by itself in America (it apparently was in Europe though), so I had to buy a copy of Mario Paint if I wanted to get a Mouse brand new.  That box may look a little beaten up, but the contents inside were untouched and still wrapped in their plastic bags.  Oh, and it has its original price tag as well. 

I had thought about picking up Doom 64 for quite a while, but after Keet picked up his own copy, I knew I had to get one too.  There are a lot of classic FPS ports that I never paid attention to as a kid.  My only real console FPS experience during the N64 era was Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and a little bit of Turok.  Aside from that I didn't real bother with other shooters, and that's a real shame.  But I can certainly catch up now.  I'll be picking up more shooters for sure.

Wolfenstein was a game I never noticed or thought about getting on the SNES.  I never even knew there was an SNES port.  But when I went looking for games that support the Super NES Mouse, I saw Wolfenstein on the list and decided instantly that I had to get the game.  It turns out the Mouse works great with it.  I'll have a playthrough uploaded soon enough.

With all these new SNES and N64 games, I've been running out of space in my game storage drawers that I showed before.  So I decided to pick up another one of the drawers, except this time it's the larger 24-game model.  I got the box too.  That was helpful since I use these larger boxes to store all my games boxes and keep them safe.


I forgot to take a picture of this before, but I picked up another DVD tower for when my current one gets full (it's really close).  I found the same model dirt cheap at K-Mart and decided to pick it up just in case it gets discontinued.  I really like these things because they swivel and you can put your controllers on top of them.  Of course I'll have to assemble it when the time comes, but I actually enjoy that.


One of my Youtube subscribers asked about the CRT TV and the new Toshiba DVD Recorder that I'm using to upconvert old consoles for use on the Hauppauge HD PVR.  Here they are stuck in the corner to the left of the HDTV.
