         I got Iron Storm from the store in Austin a few years ago for $30.   
     I don't think they are in business anymore.  In fact, I think the only   
   retro-store in Texas with any hope of franchising is FX Video Game   
   Exchange our or Waco.  I've spent some time dealing with one of the   
   owners, and I think I've sort of persuaded him to start giving more for   
   the good Sega games, in order to get them back on the shelves.  He even   
   took me to Brenham to clear our a video store one time, we got a bunch   
   of Genesis games and inserts from that place and he now has a decent   
   collection at the College Station store.  Still no Saturn stuff really,   
   but there is a section for it and the SMS, Sega CD and 32X just waiting   
   to get a copy of Golvellius or Phantasy Star, Lunar 1+2, and Shining   
   Force III.  ;)
