So I made my monthly trip to Game Exchange today and this time I took my oldest with me. She loved the place, but couldn't find anything that she wanted. I picked up a complete in box copy of Sky Shark for the NES:

I mainly got it for the artwork, as I don't ever remember playing this game. It was only $28 complete out the door, so not a bad deal for a CIB NES game.


While looking around I also managed to find Dragon Quest Treasures on the Switch for $15, so I got that too. Sadly they didn't have that Jetfire there, or else they moved him as they have moved a lot of stuff around. I will have to take a look next time to see if that was the case.

One thing that was really tempting to me was that they had two sets of Steel Battalion controllers there. One with the game for $400 and one without for $200. I must admit that I am tempted to get that, as the idea has always appealed to me.

I forgot to mention. At Game Exchange last week, they had a boxed copy of Sculptors cut for the N64 in their display case. I never saw one in person before then.

Seeing that is a huge relief to me. I forgot that game existed.

In my Legend of the Halcyon Era stories, I have an airship called the Sky Shark. Came up with it because the airships tend to be based on aquatic life for some reason, so I followed that, and took a saw shark and made the saw a hot rod engine-like piece on the front.

Some time after that, I come by the Sky Shark in GI Joe. Oh my god, I had that as a kid! Had I unknowingly reused the name from that?

And now there's this, so I'm guessing it's just a term that gets around without much relation between uses. Whew.

Made my monthly trip to Game Exchange. Sadly they had nothing on my list, but they had some neat oddities. I finally picked up a NES Four Score, so now I need to find the games that support it.
