Acquisition Log: 2012-10-06

I visited my favorite thrift store today. It has been a long time since my last visit and their CD bins were all absolutely overflowing. I had to make some choices because I didn’t want to take home too many games.

Here are the items from this score that have no representation in the database:

  • Barbie: Team Gymnastics– yep, there are still Barbie games that neither I nor MobyGames know about yet
  • Big Action Construction by Fisher-Price
  • Get Ready for School, Charlie Brown!
  • Puzzlemania CD-ROM from Highlights (as in, the magazine from your dentist office)

All of these items fall into the category of either “probably not or definitely not a game”:

  • ‘Tronic Phonics from McGraw-Hill School Interactive, listed as disc #11– might be a game
  • One Banana: A Jungle Counting Book– very unlikely to be a game
  • Location & Direction– lists ISO-9660 on the disc, even though it was published by 1999 (companies mentioned: Arc Media Inc. and Mars)– possibly a game
  • Microsoft Cinemania ’95– certainly not a game
  • Invention Studio from the Discovery Channel– build, design, and test your own inventions; there’s even a patent office section; might be a game as other titles in this series qualified (notably Team Xtreme: Operation Weather Disaster)
  • Attactix: Battle Figure Game, Star Wars Starter Set CD-ROM, Series 2– I have no idea what to make of this; the lengthy title sounds like it’s a digital supplement to a tabletop game

And the stuff that’s already in the database:

  • Need for Speed: High Stakes (EA Classics release, and marked as “For sale in India only” and the price tag is “RS 399,00”)
  • Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
  • Planet Dexter’s Grossology— the jewel case copy purports to teach “Gross science that kids want to learn!” I’m happy if they want to play it, but I really don’t, so I am glad that it’s already in the database. The screenshots on record could stand to be redone, but I probably won’t bother.
  • Tropico: Paradise Island

  • Mary-Kate and Ashley: Crush Course
  • Gamefest: Pro Pinball Challenge: Fantastic Journey (disc 1 of 4)
  • Supercow — didn’t expect this one to be in the database, but there it is, probably because it’s fairly recent (copyright 2007)
  • Stone-Jong
  • Eradicator from Accolade
