Shining Force II and Phantasy Star IV came pretty close - I think I laid out close to $90 each for them new. The other cardboard case RPGs were pricey too. Sega really screwed us on those - raised the price and used those crappy cardboard boxes (which were even worse than the SNES ones) and also made cheap non glossy manuals with black and white covers.

Time for a slight detour - this is pretty awesome!

Really cheesy - but fun so far!

Iam8bit has some limited edition stuff for Eastward. https://www.iam8bit.com/collections/eastward?_kx=8dH7dvk6xAT-hJ9rEo7TawoL4ESgBdUZfvEpMgaK_3w%3D.SCPJSA

I got my copy today - the back of the dvd says: "Relive the production of Sam & Max Season One, 2007 Style - by watching a DVD packed full of behind-the-scenes goodies made by game's original development team. (Yep, this is a video DVD that you watch on your TV.)" On the disc: Original Trailers & Cutscenes Hours of Commentary Tracks 18 Time-Wasting Machinama Shorts Blooper Reel

Greetings groundling! I am the resident geezer of the boards.

Obviously designed to appeal to those with OCD.

Tropical is the way to go - coconut.

This might work: It is mostly an exploration game with some puzzles (only one of which I would rate difficult - although a young one would probably have a bit of difficulty with more - but they are motly pretty simple puzzles moving blocks around so any adult can help solve them). There a couple of fetch quests and a side story that is revealed by collecting scattered diary pages. No physical copy available so eshop is the way to go. No fighting and while there is dialogue is fairly simple and delivered slowly. Another two that might work are Mushroom Quest and the sequel Mushroom Savior. Fairly simple Sokoban style games where you push blocks around. Again no physical - just eshop.

Should be a real interesting line up!

I wonder if they leave the contents to whomever they are licensing the physical games from and take a cut of the increased prices whilst giving the rest to the owners of the rights. Knowing how they operate they probably don't front the money for the production of the physical items. They apparently don't have exclusive rights to that stuff since at least the journal for The Return of the Obra Dinn turned up for sale at Fangamer. Which would explain why they don't know details of those items.

Here is the switch one - the pc one appears to have the same bonus stuff.

I did get a notice that Pathway was now in their warehouse - now it just has to find its way out of there.

I have a rare Korean laserdisc of that one. That and Motel Hell make pretty good companion pieces IMHO.

BonusKun got back to me - only Melf (the admin) can approve new accounts - so I pm'd him.

More than a few of my older laserdiscs are Vestron releases. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFBlLVvvH_I

According to news reports the 4th Guards Tank Division has been destroyed by the Ukranians. The 4th Guards has been considered an elite unit since mid WWII. It played prominent roles at Stalingrad, Kursk (largest tank battle in history) and led the victory parade in Moscow after the defeat of Nazi Germany.

Play Asia for all their faults is good about cancelling pre-orders - so you could pre-order there and cancel if a US release shows up. (Here you can generally get free shipping also.)

I had a college friend who happened to be driving through Denver (before I moved here) who got in a multi car accident on a freeway bridge during a snowstorm. While he and the other drivers were "discussing" things a Trailways bus came by and flattened all the vehicles (including his old school Toyota Land Cruiser) whilst he was literally hanging off said bridge (where he had jumped to for safety).

Well no one else in their right mind would be out in such conditions.....

I splurged and got the fancy switch edition - which is why (I suspect) it was delayed. (The same thing happened when I ordered The Return of the Obra Dinn.) I just wish when they changed stuff we would have the option of playing either version - not that hard I imagine since they have both on hand and I think the days are long gone where memory in games is a common problem.
