It's true. When I bought some Saturn games from him a while back there was a sad screed written in invisible ink on one of the books. At first I was going to complain but since I only noticed it while reading the book in my bathroom that one time there was a rave going on and all the black lights were on, I decided to let it slide. :mrgreen:

Think of it in the perspective of game compilations. There are games on the Capcom and Sega Genesis comps that I have no interest in, but the other games made it well worth picking them up anyway.

I don't see how you're really paying any "extra" when there isn't a stand-alone version. As far as you're concerned, The Orange Box = Half Life 2 + Eps 1+2. No other way around it really.
