Solid, well they should be here anytime within the next couple weeks...I think my next purchase will be Final Fantasy Chronicles and Chrono Cross.

I have Jade Coccoon and it looks like theres a place for a second disc but there isn't one. Does anyone know of a reason for this?

Often times ps1 games will come in a double case, but only include 1 disc. I believe this was the case with jade cocoon, as it is with wild arms, tactics ogre, hoshigami, etc

Why is that? Wouldn't that be a waste of money? Surely a standars Jewel Case is cheaper?


Also It's probably gonna be awhile before I need to make another purchase, so this thread will prolly die for awhile...but I have roughly $20..are any games on my list good enough to drop $20 on them right now?

Well, consider the size of an instruction manual for a complex RPG. A thick manual won't fit into a single-CD case. Also, think of advertising. If you're looking for a long game, a thick case will imply more discs and that thicker manual, or more content. So people will buy that, subconsciously thinking they'll get more.

They are absolutely horrible on my PS2. Since battles are pretty frequent, they are pretty much game breaking for me. My PS2 is a real lemon though and it handles PS1 games particularly bad.
