I havn't bought a Saturn game in 2 years. Then again I've only got a few new games since then. There's really just not any more that I want.
I haven't bought a Dreamcast game in about a year because the only game I want is Shiren Gaiden and that's NEVER under $60. I can't justify spending more than $30 for it.
Personally, I hate ISOs. I find having a pirated copy of a game REALLY takes away from my overall enjoyment of it. Ont op of that, when you get into game piracy, you end up too busy pirating games to ever playa ny of them more than a few hours. I know someone with around 800 games and he's only beaten two of them. That's just wasteful.
I'm really disliking CD gaming because it lacks something we had back in the cartridge days -- challange and packaging.
You may point out Working Designs for packaging. "Whooo look, I got a hardcover instruction manual that tells me NOTHING and a completely useless cloth overowrld map -- not like it takes more than a 4 year old's brain to figure out where I'm going anyway."
Remember back in the days of Dragon Warrior? I remember being younger and having the huge maps spread out over my bed and the item lists. And the games were difficult so you actually NEEDED those things to really decide what is the best thing to spend your money on. I think Dragon Warrior is why I ended up as stingy as I am today
When you're just stealign games left and right, I think you really miss out on a lot of that experience. And to me anyway, that's what made gaming so much fun.
