Oh man, that game brings back memories. When I was young, a friend of mine had that game - presumably it was purchased because the box was kinda cool and it looked like a samurai action title. Of course, that isn't the case at all, and the game is pretty damn hard. I will say this though, that game was WAY ahead if it's time. Sure, there were PC titles that were strategy oriented, but for a kid in 1989 or so, Shingen was completely foreign. Are you planning on playing it Drag, or just getting it for the sake of collection?

I'll play it to see what it's all about. I've never played the game before (rented or otherwise), so after I make sure it's working I'll probably sit down and play it for an hour or so, see how it grabs me. =)

I've been buying lots of stuff recently. Stuffs for Current consoles / PC and for consoles starting with PS2 / Xbox / GCN and previous. There is a used shop in town. My fiance is very good friends with the owner so when we moved here (her back here) we started going there. Getting things for good prices. Some prices are what you would hopefully expect based off of pricing guides but I am not a reseller and I want to help keep him open for business. My fiance already had quite a few games as well and I've been purchasing slowly as Unemployment is slow and she barely just got a job. He's got Kingdom Hearts 2, Suikiden 1 and 2 for the PS2 on hold for me as well. Pretty much all the RPG's for PS1, PS2 and Xbox. :P Anything else is nostalgic and or interest. So in no particular order lets start with PS1.

Chrono Cross - $18
Parasite Eve - $20

Loved that game. I'm not usually one for massive RPGs, but I had a blast, and even after :platinum:ing it, there is still lots more I could have done if I wanted to keep leveling up my guys.

Surprisingly challenging. They had a discount on it for Plus members when it was first released and I bought it on a whim. $12 and I think I sunk around 120 hours into it.

Excellent! Keep on trucking! A Link to the Past isn't even in my top 3 Zelda games but I'm loving this one!
