Interesting. I follow over half a dozen social media pages dedicated to LRG or similar publishers, and while I find a lot of toxic behavior, I have yet to see anyone complain about a limited print game getting a retail release. Most people don't care because: if you bought it to play it, you are already playing it and should be happy if you bought it as a collector's item, you know your copy will be more valuable and you should be happy if you missed buying it, you will have another chance to buy it and should be happy The person in the example above is looks to be miss informed and I would bet new to the scene. They clearly want an excuse to complain about LRG and they think they found one, but didn't really think it through. TLDR: I've seen a lot of obnoxious/toxic behavior in this subset of the collecting community, but this example would be new to me.

Never saw it. Even as a kid I didn't have much of a desire to see it.

Why?

Yes, you could look up and down on the PC version. That was considered a pretty big deal at the time.

There have been several games that have been $60. In some cases, they can't control the price of the game. I'm not sure about this situation, but at $45, I'm guessing it has something to do with the agreement to publish the game.

I haven't read the other responses yet, so I might be saying stuff that's already been said. This is my go to forum, but depending on the subject material, I can see why it may not be for others. When you look at the voting results in the video game console debates, you can tell that most of the members here are into third generation consoles and newer. There is certainly some love for the first two generations, but not much. If you go over to Atari Age, you will find a slight older crowd that has a lot more love and information on those older consoles. That's not a bad thing. It's just a different crowd of people with different interests. I think this forum has a lot of good members who are very knowledgeable on video games. While we are open to talk about anything here, this place is obviously pretty Nintendo centric and that should come as no surprise since most of us came from Nintendo Age.

I saw this on Facebook. Out of Tetris 99, Mario 35 and Pac-Man 99, this one I will have the least amount of interest in. I'm just not a huge Pac-Man fan and I usually can't play past one screen clear because I just get bored. With that said, it does seem like the perfect type of game to get this treatment, so this is great for the Pac-Man fans out there.

Illinois really doesn't care about Lincoln so much as Springfield does. I grew up and lived in Springfield for 18 years, so I grew up with the mind set that Lincoln was a pretty big deal. I was always surprised and a little disappointed when I traveled and learned that pretty much no one outside of Springfield cares much about Lincoln.

Same for me. I went with 1 because I think it's probably the better song, but I have memories with 2 because my coach in college was named Eileen and we serenaded her with that song one time completely randomly in the middle of practice.

It's really not that complicated. Even with sales tax, you could round things off.

Also, I used to work for the largest supplier of strip to the US Mint. So I know a lot of people who don't want to see it go away.

The law can be changed to account for the removal of the penny. Considering how expensive it is to make a penny, it makes sense to get rid of it (pun intended).

1 2 1 2 3 was extremely difficult for me.

I was never a huge fan of the green styling of the PS1 GH, but I also didn't hate it as much as some people. It's too bad they didn't decide to go with the red label on the GH discs because they have always been red since the PS2 era, and I think that the red looks a lot better.

In the US it's legal tender, but that doesn't mean they won't be pissed off about it. I always turn coins into a bank or some place that doesn't charge you for it. NEVER pay a fee to convert coins into paper currency.

Doom, Doom 2 and Final Doom absolutely hold up today, no question. The speed running and moding communities are quite large as well. It's the type of game that will never get old.

I've never met anyone who didn't know this, and I've never met anyone who has cared.

That was definitely DLC done right.

Possibly, but I would be willing to bet they would have gone that direction regardless.

Nintendo fans are very different from Sony fans and LRG acknowledged that by going with the open pre-order system for all (or nearly all, I can't remember) Switch games. They knew that going with low print runs on Switch games would not go over well for them.

Like I said, I can't comment on those games, but I still stand by my opinion, that the games made specifically for the O2 to compete against Atari 2600 games (copied if you will), still look and sound better than their rivals. It's just unfortunate that they were not necessarily more fun to play. I don't know enough about the specific hardware to say what was more powerful, but I would argue that it seems the O2 had more potential than the 2600. But history has shown that it really doesn't matter. The most powerful console has rarely, if ever been the best selling console in any given generation.

I obviously agree with most of what you say, but I have to point out that I feel you are off base with your comments about the PS4. If you didn't care for the PS3 generation because of the number of FPS's and sandbox games, that's understandable, but the PS4 seems to have avoided that. The PS4 generation has exploded with more indie games than anything before it. There are so many different and unique games on that console. I've said it before, but I consider the PS4 to be one of the greatest consoles of all time because it has one of the most unique libraries of all time. I own several hundred PS4 games and only a small handful are AAA titles. Of course I admit that it seems a little silly using the PS4 to play some of these indie game that only use a fraction of the PS4's power, but it is what it is. If you skip the PS4 because you don't like modern FPS's and sandbox games, you are still missing out on a huge library of unique and fun games.

I'm not familiar with any Atari 2600 games that were ported to the Odyssey, so I can't comment on those, but for the games that were made for the Odyssey that were clearly copied off Atari games, they usually looked and sounded better than the Atari counterparts. Unfortunately, they usually controlled or played worse than their Atari counterparts.

When I bought my first PS3, I also bought Rock Band along with it. Funny thing is that with the PS3 store shutting down, it got me looking into my old downloads, and I found that I never bothered to redownload all of my old Rock Band song purchases onto my newer model PS3. I must have bought about 40 songs back in the day and I made sure to get those installed on my current PS3. It's got me wanting to get the old guitar out and play them again.

Is it weird that I actually have some nostalgia for those types of toys?
