The Count

Hey, guys, I have the box and will be shipping it off on Monday. Pic to follow.

I collect primarily Game Gear and Genesis, and I certainly see less for sale then perhaps, even four years ago. Probably us collectors not letting stuff go along with ridiculous asking prices. I'm down for the long haul, though, because I enjoy the process. It's about the journey for me.

I wanted to like this game. A colorful RPG on a system with few alternatives. It was just too slow and grinding and linear and not much by the way of items/secrets/variation. 4/10.

Some tough choices this time around.

SNES, no?

1983 would give us Risky Business and The Dead Zone.

I beat the standard mode of Astalon Tears of the Earth. I really enjoyed it and so will anybody who enjoyed 2D metroidvania games.

I don't think anybody mentioned Metal Saga for PS2 yet. I really enjoyed it!

You make some valid points, but you must admit the multiple level exits, Star World, and new enemies paired with better graphics make a strong argument. I remember seeing it the first time as was wowed by the new technology compared to, in my mind, the archaic NES.

Interesting.  I've had this game for nearly 20 years and was contemplating it for the backlog challenge since I've never played it.

Try it out! There are so very few games like it, outside of the series. I enjoyed trying to find all of the items and discovering each wreck.

Well shoot now I need to pop in azure dreams. What’s the difference between the GBC and PS1 versions? I only have it on GBC

I can't recall if I've played the GBC version, but I sank too many hours in the PSX version. Enjoy the better hardware capabilities and screen size. So many different eggs to find and raise and different mates to woo and home upgrades. Way ahead of its time in that regard.  I should make another run now that I think of it.

What is your guy’s opinion on changing the order or mailing (check first paragraph of main post)

Yeah, whatever you want is fine by me.

Yeah, I'm in again.

Hard to say, but probably a racing game.

Pusha T - Dreamin of the Past

Overrated because of Bradley Nowell's death. Simple songs that are overall lacking. 3/10.

I ordered one. Looking forward to trying it out!

I love this game. Capcom on the NES really wasn't fucking around. I love the secret items and the music and such. For a challenge, try the 0$ ending. 9/10.

@ZeldaFreak forget all star tennis 99, someone trying to sabotage the count beat it earlier????  

You rang?

I'd love to pick one up. Is there a purchasing alternative to Amazon by chance?

I liked the characters and also having to re-explore areas for different items. 8/10.

I'm just impressed you sold Guitar Hero III and guitar for $20. I think I had like five guitars at one point and I literally could not give them away so I donated them to the Good Will.
