That's a sweet idea. Maybe even an Apogee feature. Rise of the Triad needs some love!

The main reason I got dos box. I loved that game back in the day, if I play a fps it will be on dos or maybe Golden Eye.

Damn. All this talk, and everything I read about Battle Garegga; it sounds awesome. I think this and Batsugun should be next on my list.

Well, I didn't mean right this instant.

$300!? I thought Batsugun can be obtained for around $75, and Battle Garegga for $150 - $175.

I thought about that after I made my post (and before I read this one, despite the time lag!) and edited mine. $200-300. It's been a couple years since I've checked the price on these games. :)

Yeah, it may be a month or 2 since I just got FF Revenge and Crows recently.

Also, I may be able to get B.G. for even lower than $150.
