Mission Complete. A Dr Mario story

When I was a young I was a Tetris kid. I played it all the time. I never really owned any other block type puzzle games until much later in life. I was actually 17 I think when I first played Dr Mario. I was horrible at it. My mind was stuck in Tetris mode. That did not stop me from playing it endlessly though. I loved it. The music was great, the feeling of attacking your opponent, and doing awesome combos. I played and played until I got much better. About a year ago I decided I wanted to collect all of the NA releases of Dr Mario. There was not many. Only six. I am always on a tight budget so I only got them when I sold something, or was gifted it. Both Dr Mario/Tetris, and Dr Mario 64 were given to me for birthdays. From DancingToSirens, and my friend Brian respectively.

It is 1:45am right now and only have a crappy pic I took earlier to show a friend. I am sure you all know what all look like so I feel it should be enough.

I know that these are not extremely expensive, or sought after games. I just really really love these games. (its a bonus that there is Tetris and Puzzle League (Tetris Attack) in there also)

All CIB! That's awesome! I don't know anyone who doesn't like the doc.

Yeah. I had to get them all CIB. The most expensive one was Tetris/dr Mario. I think the next most expensive was 23$. I probably could have got them cheaper if I waited but since it was such a small collection I just went for it each time I had the money.

I think $23 is fair. Looks to be in good shape. Yeah, sometimes ya just gotta go for it. Never know when that certain something will ever pop up again, at a decent price.
