[General Discussion] The Quest 64

I remember back before the Internet was widespread, questing for games was so much more fun. Nowadays, if there's a rare game in a store, somebody snatches it up so they can sell it on Ebay (sure, I'm guilty of this too, but I'm just saying).

I first got my NES around the time Megaman 4 came out (that's the first one I bought). MM2 and 3 were easy to find, but it was a massive quest to find MM1. Finally, we were on vacation, and I found a new copy of MM1 in a Toys R Us. Man, was I excited by it's craptactularness.

Back in those days, I used to love to hit up old Toys R Uses (back when they still had the walls of flaps, and you took a slip up to the register) and cheesy Kmarts (actually, Kmarts in the ghetto still have good stuff because folks are afraid to go there).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's funny about Chrono Trigger. I put it on my Christmas list the year it came out, only half interested and not realizing it cost $70 US, but my dad bought it for me. My brother's still got the cart.

What's funny is a few years ago I was in the playroom of a Moose lodge (one of those fraternal organizations for old folks), and they had an SNES set up. Among their games they had Chrono Trigger and I think Super Mario RPG (I know it was another rare game). I was really depressed that they had such gems lying around in a playroom for little kids who couldn't appreciate their value.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
