         I would replace the Internet with a handful of legitimate swap   
   shops any day.  I've got two places in town, and the likely hood of them   
   having anything outside of the million seller sports/Sonic titles is   
   next to nothing.

   I definitely agree.  I'm just pointing out that these games are   
   essentially ports of the original that have only a convincing   
   resemblance to the original.  If people saw them as "the PS2 version",   
   I'd leave well enough alone, but this thread proves people want them to   
   be the same thing on their current system and are willing to ignore all   
   the signs to the contrary.
