  5 games you would like but probably will never get.

  It has been almost 6 months since I have blogged anything. School, facebook, a new job, and Gamespots new rating system have all hindered me posting. When I check back to this site a lot of the people I read don't post here anymore and I have lost some interest because of it. Here is the question I put to you today: What are 5 game you would love to have but probably will not end up getting. That can be because they are too hard to find or just to pricey, or maybe you just will never play it even if you got it. Let me know.
  
  1. Radiology- (GC or DC) I would love to play this game. The music sounds great and it looks fun but it is too pricey and is not too easy to come by.
  2. Gregory Horror Show (GC) I never see this game posted anywhere including EBay. I can find the PS2 version but my PS2 isn't Modded and I like the smother graphics of the GC. 3. Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder: Arcade games are usually too pricey for me and are very hard to move without a truck. Besides the fact that this game is rather rare.
  4.Tutankhamen: I am not likely to put up $200 for an intellivsion game. This game is so hard to come by much less getting one with the box and instructions. I used to stare at an ad for this game on the back of a Spiderman comic book as a kid. I was too young to buy my own games but the scorpions looked creepy.
  5.Splatterhouse (NES) I would love just to try this game. It just looks so fun/funny. I useually come across it for $60 and I just am not up to putting that kind of money towards a NES game that I have never played.
  
  A lot of these are because of price. I kind find most of them but I just don't have the money anymore. The other thing is that I haven't played any of these titles so I am not sure that I will actually like them when I get them. This brings me to problem with game collecting. If a person wants to get a great collection $20,000 and some time on eBay will get them a great collection. The really hard to find stuff.is so odd and rare that there are few people to show it off too. I have a collector friend of mine who purchased a PC Engine with a bunch of games. He kept telling me how no one understood how cool it was or recognized any of the games. He brought it over one afternoon and we played all day. There are some amazing (and really hard) shooters on the system. He kicked my ass in kickball then we moved on to World Fighters (GC) and I returned the favor. The next time he comes over he is bringing his NeoGeo so we can play Crossed Swords and a bunch of fighters. Hope you enjoy this random blog. Until next time-John
