The first game I bought with pocket money saved over time I'm pretty sure was:

along with an original gameboy and a handful of other games (but Tetris counts as the first even though I got these at the same time) in a second hand bundle I bought from a friend of a friend.

The first one I bought with money I'd worked for:

in my gamecube bundle

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu

Ok I am here to announce that I have scored a major victory again!

About 8 years ago I gave a friend of mine my Super Nintendo and a bunch of killer games, all mint and boxed, because I was going through a phase where I felt I didn't wanna collect anymore and I had too much stuff. Like always, you end up regretting it when you get rid of stuff, and I always regretted this move bigtime. Now that I am heavily into collecting again, I decided to ask my friend for the hell of it if he still has the Snes and if he didn't want it anymore, I would buy it back off him. This is who I sold my $1300 PC to a few years ago for $600 when I built my current PC.

Turns out, he still has it all and he's just gonna give it back to me because he is trying to free up some space!!! Fucking sweet!

So now I will have my Snes back along with these goodies:

Hell of a score even if it was sort of yours in the first place.

Oh and just so it can be said, the FF3 box art was terrible.

I agree....lame. It doesn't show what was great about the game at all. I don't like the Super Mario RPG art either....looks too fake-ish.

Always LOVED the art for Phantasy Star 2 and 3.

EDIT: This is nice fake art:

No!

You must sent Nintendo and Treasure a cheque of 200,000 dollars with a letter where you apologize for not buying this masterpiece at full prize. You also need to cut of you big toe and sent it with the letter and cheque as punishment for your sins and to show the sincerity of your apology.

Then you sacrifice all your Gears of Wars, Halo and Call of Duty games and pray, pray as hard as you can for a sequel. Then and only then, you did good!

I got Blok Drop U a few days ago with a few extra bucks I had on my account. Simple idea and kind of neat, but I'm not entirely sure this game is even worth the $2 they were charging for it.

Just bought The Wonderful 101.  I saw it at an electronics store and figured it was now or never.  These types of games tend to just disappear from shelves after a couple of weeks, never to return.

I'm not into online gaming, but Titanfall looks awesome. Kinda reminds me of Quake III.

What's the other game, Edge? All I can see is an empty box.

Who are you guys?!

We are Starfox!

Oh god how I missed thee. Bought Starfox 64 3d for cheap with Luigi's Mansion for cheap.

Have not played the latter, but Starfox. I love your infinitely quotable one liners!

Picked up an old Saturn Crystal Dynamics game, that looks like it may have inspired the Overlord series:
