Tales from the Bargain Bin - Retro Games Haul

Now, anybody who already knows why I'm here may suspect that I just have a lot of games because I have too much money, but unless it's a big game like GTA5, that's not the case.
I love finding bargains and bundles that let me get tons of games for pennies on the dollar. You might even say I'm addicted to videogame bundles.

Today the Humble Store is having some sales and the content was too good to resist, so I thought I'd share my haul.

Grand Theft Auto III + Vice City ($19.98 $3.98)






















Max Payne ($9.99 $1.99)



Now pretty much all of these are older games that I played as a kid (with the exception of Drunken robot pornography) so I thought I'd grab em whilst they were on special for Way Back When's Day.
Drunken Robot Pornography is a bullet hell game about giant robots so I thought I'd grab that one as well, just for funzies.

All in all, this was a good haul. I ended up with $407 worth of games (original individual game prices, not the collection prices) for just $34.14 USD or $42.71 AUD.

That's a saving of just over 372 dollars for a grand total of 67 individual games!

Granted I already own about 3 or 4 of these games, but even some of those got new DLC from this haul, so I'm happy.

Feel free to head over to the Humble Store and check out some of the bargains yourselves. They do amazing videogame bundles too and a large sum of the money goes straight to charity. Well worth the price they usually offer.
