The sucky part is that I don't even know how it happened. I was bored one day and decided to get all the scattered video games in the house and put them back together. The discs were all over the place, and the Saturn cases were all sitting in the closet. When I found this one sandwiched between a bunch of papers and other discs, it had the crack in it.
Seriously? I'm no detective but I think I might have sold the mystery of how this happened. Here goes:

People who weren't collectors at the time leave out things like that. I had no idea that those "dumb Saturn games" lying around the house were worth anything at all.

Every other game I found was fine, except this one.

You've been a member for a year. I looked at your collection. You have a knowledge of games. You have no excuse. You saw you had games laying around and didn't clean up. Broken game was deserved.

What? No, I have a very legit excuse. I wasn't into retro games until June last year, which is when I put these games back together. These games have been scattered for like, 15 years. I'm only 21.... Of course I didn't clean it all up until recently because I was still a kid.

Anyway, this thread is getting derailed.

Another reason why vinyl is better than CDs! Ever get a crack in a vinyl? You can still play it. You might get a click every few seconds, but that has to be better than not being able to play it at all.

I was expecting the video to instruct you how to buy a new copy, but I guess that was funnier.

A video game on vinyl ... I'm not sure how well that'd work. Everything would have to be 100% sequential.

That'd actually be kind of interesting.

:lol: There are quite a few tired game genres that actually work that way already.
