I thought the previous one was a little insane, but that's nothing compared to the sealed copy that was up just now. Final bid? $800,200.

I still don't get why some people are willing to spend large sums of money on a game that, while rare, is basically identical to one of the NES's original pack-in games (World Class Track Meet) but with a new hat! different title screen.

In particular, I learned that all the Martial Artist class's ranks in Disgaea 3 are references to various fighting games. The ranks are Fury Fatalist, Fight Artist, Champ of Fighters, Viper Fighter, Lethal Combatant ( Read more... )

Anybody that knows me knows I'm a retro gaming afficionado, and I've got nothing against retro revivals on newer systems. That said, I'm still kind of boggling over the decision to bring back Mad Dog McCree. Did anybody actually play that (or even hear of it) in its day? Talk about obscure...
