I've lately developed a bit of a love affair with the little purple lunchbox. Its so nicely designed and was surprisingly powerful despite its compact form. It wasn't perfect, but it had some amazing hits. Unfortunately, trying to collect for it now sucks, as the aftermarket prices are insane. I'm not paying $40 for Luigi's Mansion in 2016, that's crazy.

If you poke around, you can find the weirder and more overlooked games for reasonable prices.

1080° Avalanche

1. 1080° Avalanche

Got it for cheap, its got some style to it. Shares continuity and characters with Wave Race, which is kinda rad.

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

2. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

Words cannot express the joy I felt when I realized this game didn't have tank controls. I'm looking forward to properly playing it.

F-Zero GX

3. F-Zero GX

GX is absurdly hard, but it has such a cool sense of style and a blistering sense of speed that its definitely worth owning.

Killer7

4. Killer7

I've never made it more than hour into this game. I need to give it a proper try at some point. I really like owning it, despite that.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Master Quest

5. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Master Quest

This was the first time I ever got to play Ocarina. Fuck the N64 version. 3DS is the best version overall.

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System

6. Metal Arms: Glitch in the System

I picked this game up because its the closest we'll ever get to Starcraft: Ghost.

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

7. Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

I found this thing at a Goodwill for $3 and it even had a memory card in it. This is my favorite version of the two.

Metroid Prime

8. Metroid Prime

Metroid Prime is incredible, I didn't play it until 2007 while waiting for Corruption to come out, and it was a really cool experience. I just recently went back and did a 100% playthrough and had a fantastic time. Brilliantly designed and it still looks great for a 14 year old game.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

9. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

I'm moving onto this next.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

10. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Such a delightful game, it has train mysteries, pro wrestling, shadow villages, and this motherfucker that steals the goddamn P. Fantastic.
