So I completed my 2012 Collecting goal of 100 new NES carts in less than 2 months so I decided to see just how many new carts I could get my hands this year.

Started 1/1/12 - 119 NES carts and counting.

So I thought it would be fun to take you along with me as I try and collect as many new NES carts to add to my collection as possible this year.
I will be collecting from various sources, NA, the wild, ebay, craigs, etc..  The pics are of the actual games, and Ill try and list prices and some fun notes about where the games came from as I go.
 
I hope you enjoy the journey! And if you feel like helping me along, check out the carts I'm missing

Palamedes is a really fun game. Me and the wife get pretty competitive on this one. GL with the goal. I am sure you will get it much earlier and surpass the goal.

Just picked up #94, James Bond JR. at a Local game shop. Out of about 200-300 carts they had, this was the only one I didn't have lol. Figured I was obligated to take it off their hands.

Just picked up my #93, Ghostbusters II, from my local Rip Off, er, I mean Book Off... $5. I drove there and again, out of about 50-75 carts they had, this was the only one I was missing so I felt it was worth it. I also bought a book on Zhuan Falun for $1.
