Acquisition Log: 2011-09-25

Posted on September 25, 2011 by Multimedia Mike

15 discs, fresh from my favorite thrift store. Let’s start with the Barbie titles acquired which, remarkably, are still not in my collection:

  • Barbie Super Sports
  • Barbie Horse Adventures: Mystery Ride — there seems to be a series of Barbie horse adventure titles and this one remains absent from MobyGames
  • Barbie Sparkling Ice Show — it’s unclear to me whether this is a game but it’s already in MobyGames

  • Show Down in Ghost Town — same series of games as Phantom of the Knight
  • Guild Wars — I hear this is popular, but I don’t know much about it; the disc was cheap so it goes in my collection

Here are the purportedly educational games from this haul:

  • Star Wars Math: Jabba’s Game Galaxy — unusual in its artwork portraying various Star Wars rogues in more of a kid-friendly rendition
  • ClueFinders 4th Grade Adventures — I have only played one ClueFinders game so far but I remember enjoying it
  • Museum Madness
  • The King And I: Animated Thinking Adventure — based on the animated move

Here are games that I group by no more than the common property that they came with no cover art, only bare discs:

  • SSN-21 Seawolf
  • Microsoft Fury^3 — oh wait, I do have the back of the jewel case available for this game and the tiny screenshots and the controls cheat sheet makes it seem like a Descent clone
  • Fisher-Price: Time to Play Pet Shop
  • The Great Word Adventure 1: Tune Land — featuring Howie Mandel, part of “Lil’ Howie’s Fun House”

And 2 more titles which probably don’t qualify as games, but I still collect schlock like this, especially as outlandish as this:

  • Mary-Kate & Ashley’s Dance Party of the Century — first title of this ‘franchise’ I have acquired
  • Nick-O-Matic Design Factory — boasts over 650 projects
