Another score from the fine forum dwellers over at NintendoAge.com! The games in this picture are very difficult to track down - in fact Little Samson is one of the "Sinister Seven" toughest games to obtain. Luckily, a member at NA had these and several more hard to find games for sale, offers and counteroffers were made and a deal that we were both happy with was finally struck.

The star of the lot is of course Little Samson. Not only is it one of the hardest games to find, it's a very fun and unique platformer. Master Chu and the Drunkard Hu, apart from it's cool name, is another forgettable Color Dreams game. L'empereur is another military strategy game that won't likely see much time off the shelf. It's nice to cross Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade off the list if not for finally being able to delete my saved search on eBay. There are actually two different Last Crusade games made by different companies (Taito and Ubisoft), but they use the same exact photo on the cover art. The Taito version is relatively common, so it was always a pain to sift through all of that version in search of the Ubi version.

Well, this purchase pretty much wiped out my disposable birthday cash. I've still got some eBay gift cards and a particular game in my sights - hopefully I'll win an auction or find a decent BIN in the coming days...
