I love these threads :-) I bought Castlevania for the PS in the UK a few days before coming out to Hong Kong after ECTS, but in HK I have bought: 1) Metal Gear Solid - 'Premium Pack' (HK$650) 2) Namco Museum Encore - with free case for *all* the museum CDs - cool! (HK$120) 3) F-Zero X for N64 (HK$290) 4) Parasite Eve *soundtrack* (HK$290) 5) Unreal (PC) $250 6) NTSC->PAL converter (HK$250) 7) Final Fantasy VIII demo (HK$50) - wow! as well as a stack of DVD movies. :-) (I also bought James Rutherford "R-Types" which was a rather hefty HK $380) All games are Japanese versions. BTW, HK$13 is one pound, going by todays exchange rate. Yeah, it IS cheap, innit? :-) I don't always buy this many games, you know! What games do I plan on getting next? Well, here's a few ideas before Xmas (the * ones are DEFINITE) - Zelda (N64)* - Body Harvest (N64) - Turok 2 (N64) and 4MB expansion* - Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (PS) - Abes Oddesey: Exodus (PS) - Elemental Gearbolt (PS) - Color Gameboy with a few games (Zelda? Mario? Tetris?)* - Sega Dreamcast 'Godzilla' VMS - Namco Museum 1-5 (complete my collection!) PS - Gunbarl (Point Blank 2) PS - Final Fantasy VIII - and probably a Japanese Dreamcast with Rally, VF3 and Sonic Adventure! (I'll never be able to afford all this, BTW) I like all sorts of games, as long as they aren't exactly the same as something I've played to death. Even if they are, greatly improved graphics will usually draw my eye, alas :-/ I hope people would agree I have good taste in games (at least, as far as you can have good taste) judging by the list above! As you might tell, I buy a lot of imports (tho' not exclusively!) and tend to get the biggies as soon as they come out (i.e MGS and I got Biohazard 2 on the release day too). I'm also more a console cadet than a PC boyo - I haven't got that great a PC anymore (P133 with 3DFX) and I'd rather spend the "upgrade" money on console stuff. How do I find time to program? (answer: right now, I don't!) Nick "so many games, so little time - final year beckons!" F
