I've been keeping an eye out online for this game for many years. This is the first time I've ever seen it, and the price is jaw dropping...

The same game was also released on PC 98. I don't know what the price on that might be (my sighting count on that version remains at 0) but if the msx version is any indication, I will never own this game.

I never dreamed it would be so expensive.

Shame. :(
It's only got a day left with no bids. Maybe you could contact the seller and ask him to lower the price, promising to buy it if he does.

Damn!

Are you trying to get all the Ranma ½ games? I played through the SNES RPG last year. Interesting experience.

That was the plan.

The msx/pc 98 game is the only one that's difficult to get a hold of. Now I see why.

Scary price though isn't it?

Since you mentioned it, I quite like the rpg. Its very simple, but its fun.

@BoringSupreez

I doubt the guy would lower the price to a point that I'd be willing to buy it. :lol:

Like I said, I had absolutely no clue that it might be worth that much. I know msx games generally aren't cheap (I'd always assumed it might go for 60 or 70), but my upper limit on this is probably 100 bucks, which is still an amount I'd have to consider.

Unless the pc98 version pops up in the future for a substantially lower price, I'm considering it a lost cause. Oh well.

I hope it doesn't spread as well.
I'd rather lose my arm than sit through that dour, joyless, empty award-bait again.

Oh yeah, the drug is called Krokodil. Because when you start using it you start looking like someone that's been attacked by a crocodile. Again, you can take that literally...

Check the links at your own risk. But I warn you, this shit is sickening and very graphic. Very...

They are Youtube links with an age restriction. With good reason...

I was eating my first slow cooker chicken when watching this and I can tell you that's a definite no.

The tender meat literally falling off the bones did not help either... :x

Even though they do it to themselves, one can only feel pity for these people.

Those videos were shocking. The one of the woman with no skin/flesh on her arm, gaping wounds, were a shock. Very sad.

:D : That DSi XL I snagged off Ebay came today. Turns out, the guy who was selling it made it out to be in much worse condition than it really was, it's great. I love the DSi's extra features.

:( : I'm too busy to play it until this evening.

Another :) : I disabled my NES's lockout chip last night. Works great. I love easy mods like that.

My canary just died. He had been sick with lots of small bugs for some days. We tried to cure him and we sprayed him in the morning but he died not long ago.

It sucks =/
