I wanted to show off the American boring box art for the Mega Man series on the NES and Game Boy. The artwork was horrible from box 1 on the NES and got a little better as the series went on but Monday when I post the artwork for Japan releases you’ll see how it’s much easier to get pumped up to play! The Game Boy artwork was passable in my opinion except for the first one. These are custom cases holding my actual games and manuals from Custom Game Cases.

Loot Crate: Books!
I know we are just starting Mega Man month but I got some new, well used books in today. They were all so cheap the only one with damage was the yellow one the top of the spine is messed up pretty bad but it was only 6 bucks so I can’t really complain. I’ll be doing reviews of the books as I read / explore them. Being a former 10 year Art Director a couple books are technical art books. All were purchased used to save me quite a bit of money. They’ve been on my wish list since they came out and now they have been in circulation long enough to get them for good prices.

Garage Sale Loot
Found this at a garage sale years ago for $.50! Talk about a find! It’s not very large but it’s a good shelf piece for the game room.
New Loot!
Just into the collection a couple weeks ago. Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy VI and Metal Slug Advance for Gameboy Advance (GBA). The games are complete with manuals and the cases are from customgamecases.com I can’t recommend these cases enough. The quality is outstanding the games and manuals fit perfectly!
