Goof Troop on SNES
It's a fantastic co-op action-puzzle game.

General / Re: What was your greatest game-related find from a yard sale/thrift store?
« on: January 29, 2022, 05:53:42 pm »
It wasn't a thrift shop, but a mom and pop video rental store.
It was just a little hole in the wall, so they didn't have much space, so in 1997 when I rented Chrono Trigger, they told me to keep it because they were getting rid of all their SNES stock to make room for N64 and Playstation. Best $1.99 I ever spent.

I've always wanted a Nintendo Playchoice 10, but I've never seen one for sale that wasn't on the other side of the country, or in another country.

Jurassic Park is my favourite movie of all time. BUT, if we're judging based on the strength of the trilogy, I'll have to go with Back to the Future.

Most of what you named isn't metal, but the metal you did name, is generally, some good stuff. I'm a big fan of old school heavy metal from the 70s and early 80s when it was still showing it's Psych Rock roots, like early Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep or Blind Guardian, But I'm also a fan of newer styles like thrash, speed, power or even some symphonic metal. Iron Maiden is probably my favourite metal band of all time, and I appreciate how DragonForce takes some obvious inspiration from them.

I've seen the opposite happen. When I added this item to my collection it was the Canadian version, but now it's listed as the US version, even though it's still showing the Canadian box: https://vgcollect.com/item/7894

Classic Video Games / Re: What Was Or Is Your Favorite The Sims People Video Game?
« on: June 11, 2021, 01:15:10 am »the demonic creator of the sims is the one who should be gone, he is a fat SOB and nobody can stand him not even the devil himself, he is pure evil
That's some excessive hate for Will Wright. He's widely considered to be one of the greatest video game designers ever. He's created many creative and educational games and been awarded for them countless times. He's also a very strong advocate for education reform. I don't know why you hate him so much. I'd have to say Sim Ant and Sim City 2000 are my favorite of his Sim Games.
I never hate him but if this man is such a saint why did he make the sim 1 so demonic and awful? Will might have been a good man at one time but, have you even seen YT video s of The Sims one and I read in a gamer magazine once.
that someone wrote well Will Wright creates everything and can do anything like God, (text goes) well? maybe Will Wright IS GOD? well? If will Wright is God why did he or someone else from Maxis CO, put Jesus Christ in the game that lets you set them on fire? WTF.
Sim Earth, Sim Ant, Sim Safari, SimCity, Streets Of SimCity? I still love those games but. If you look up Will Wright on the internet. This guy creates robots in real life smart? yes? unless you consider Darth Vader a Saint
You don't hate him, but you call him demonic, evil, a "Fat SOB" which really confuses me since he's quite skinny, and that he's worse than the devil. Wow, I wonder what you have to say about people you do hate. And this, because he made a game with cartoon violence? Plenty of games have that. That doesn't make them evil or demonic. You think he's playing God because he makes video games with high levels of control... plenty of video games do that too, and the creators certainly don't think they're God. They're just creating a form of entertainment that you can choose to enjoy or not. And I'm not sure how creating robot makes him evil either? Robotics technology has been incredibly beneficial to humanity. If video games are such an offense to your delicate morality, maybe you should stop playing them instead of calling their creators evil.

Classic Video Games / Re: Does Anyone Remember Red Faction 1 and 2 For PlayStation 2?
« on: April 13, 2021, 11:50:45 am »
I played Red Faction 1 for PC back in the day. The destructible environments were incredible for the time and gave you some creativity in how to defeat your enemies. I remember one part where you're fighting some enemies on a bridge, and you can collapse the bridge instead of just having a straight up shoot out with the enemy.

I don't collect sealed, so no.
That isn't to say I don't have sealed games, I just haven't gotten to them yet. The intent was never to keep them that way.

I have many nostalgic memories of dying from dysentery on a green screen in elementary school. Some of the school computers were actually orange rather than green though.
