so i bought tomba! and ape escape on amazon...used.
$60.00 for tomba! (fucking steal considering i remember it going past $150.00usd)
$10.00 for ape escape ($5 of that...was for shipping, too cheap not to get)
they arrived today...
both in EXCELLENT (lightly scuffed discs, but practically new) condition. i mean i was whatever on ape escape since i didn't pay much for it, but tomba!, a rare ass game, i only expected it in a damaged case with no instructions and a barely workable disc....and i was wrong. same happened with tomba! 2 last year, came in kickass condition, now i have both tomba games.
today is a good day.
and yes ps1 games give me more entertainment than most of the games this current generation. and technically STHD is just sf2 with online, sf2 came out on the snes. i wouldn't consider myself an oldschool gamer, but they made games better back then than they do now. it can't be nostalgia talking when i am literally playing those games right now, in 2009. but i guess nostalgia has something to do with it, the ps1/n64 was my "golden age" of gaming, old enough to understand things, got an allowance to buy vidya rather than being hollidays/birthdays only, vidya magazines were pretty big back then, and even dial up internet for the gaming forums.
tldr- look properly for a used game on amazon, you should be satisfied
*edit*
motherfucking tomba won't play on my ps2
LEAST I STILL GOT MY ps1, which it works perfectly on with my ps2 plugins/controller.
