   I've been having moderate luck with various thrift stores and pawn   
   shops...also, oddly enough, Half Priced Books.

   It's damn good, that's why. I, too, had a hard time coming across a   
   copy. Once I played it, I fully understood the hype.

   > Moonwalker, but I'm not holding my breath.   
      
   Yeah, both are going to be difficult to come by at a reasonable price.   
   Had you of picked up Moonwalker a while back...it was much cheaper(and   
   plentiful).

   It's damn good. I finally got it a while back...love it. Want to get   
   that version on the Xbox as well.

   ...yet you don't mind paying out the nose for N64? ;)

   There are a lot of Nintendo fanboys in the world. This is why I love   
   selling Nintendo products on ebay. ;)

   > really annoying.   
      
   Yeah, it really gets dull after just a short while. Hell, I got bored   
   with it mid way through the first stage. Just too many fucking enemies   
   and the levels never seem to end.   
      
   > Has anyone played Rampart?  Is it any good?   
      
   It's pretty good...an arcade classic from Atari. Give it a shot, I think   
   you'll dig it.   
      
   > I've got this Genesis game here called sodiers of fortune.  Seems   
   > rare, but is it any good?  What kind of game is it?   
      
   It's not really rare, in fact it won quite a few awards back in the day.   
   I have it, but haven't put in a lot of time with it. I think it was done   
   by the always-hyped "Bitmap Brothers".

   Why are you in this group, again? ;)
