[Ack]

Still can't top the SNES version of SimCity...

(once you got $999,999 of course)

I let a friend borrow my copy when I first got it and he went full beast mode on all 6 of the scenarios, he unlocked the other 2. Damn. I'd not have the patience to do all that.

You mean you never did it yourself? SimCity on my SNES became a great back up game for me through the 1990s.

*looks up game on ebay*

"Like new"

*smudges/scratches all over disc*

C'mon, don't lie!

^I hate that. And then they expect you to give them 5 stars. PFFT Yeah right.

I want a Darkstalkers 4...NAO.

That crap pisses me off. Or when they don't tell you about an obvious defect.

Biggest one happened to me here on Racketboy. Did a trade. The trader didn't tell me that the NES cart looked like complete crap and had a yellow post it note stuck to it that would NOT come off.

I use my current-gen consoles mainly to play ports of 25 year old arcade games.

I use my cutting-edge gaming computer mainly to emulate 8 and 16 bit games.

Same here.

Midway Arcade Origins has the worst instruction booklet I've ever seen. Hell, it's not even an "instruction" booklet - it's a booklet of legal/copyright information. I knew this shiz was now common among handheld and PC games, but I've never seen a console game with this sort of thing. What a load.

People don't appreciate the canniness of the title "Sim City" enough.

Oh! Some new member mentioned vgm that can put you to sleep. Sim City on the snes is perfect for that. That and any overhead level from Actraiser.

Yeah, I said the same of the 360 Capcom Digital Collection the other week. It's just legal boiler plate nonsense and listing the website a few times.

This has been an issue for the last year or so with a lot of games.

Resident Evil 6 on Xbox 360 just had some basic instructions printed on the back of the artwork, it didn't even have a booklet of any sort!

+1 on SNES Sim City being awesome in every way.
