Let's play a dangerous game!

It's called, How Much Can I Spend Before My Girlfriend Gets Mad?

 

The short answer is 

 

First off, a special thanks to @Dark Descent for picking up some great games for me at PRGE, @Dopeyman06 for the great deal on the Indus GT drives and a wonderful 1200XL, @Albert for making a lot of the PRGE games happen, @rbairos for making the movie cart, @davidcalgary29 for keeping me supplied with yummy Canadian treats, @johnnywc for reaching new levels of excellence in 2600 programming, and @GoldLeader for being awesome.

 

Now to the fun stuff:

The first game from PRGE that I'll be playing in AWA Anthology on a 1200XL.

 

Forgot to shout out to @oracle_jedi for hooking me up with a fix for one of my 3 new 1200XLs. The fix worked, my guy, and another 1200XL is safe and happy for the next generation.

Awesome!  Glad it all arrived safely.  That Crypt Sermon is some epic heavy metal...it's great for game playing, especially epic adventure games.

Thanks @bent_pin!   That looks like quite the haul!!

I know the answer for my wife before I get cut off from buying  ( till I pay it all off ).   The amount was a bit higher than I expected it to be... but then again she helps where she can even if she doesnt understand the fun of collecting these things.

That the one point I limit myself on; I refuse to charge any of this stuff beyond what I can pay off that month. That's why I only spent $800 on the last chance sale. Otherwise I would have got the zen special.

I have a similar limit. But even though she doesn't understand the collecting side to these games she has a rough understanding to what items are rare and rarely show up forsale vs carts you will see often. its the rarely seen titles that seem to get a pass and exception to the limit rule. I don't know if it's the understanding that its rare or the drooling for the item but she does let those items slide.  Then when they show up i show her , i get patted on the head and shes like enjoy it. She tries to take an interest but it seems lost on her. But she knows im happy with the item so i guess its a win for everyone
