Judging from playthrough video durations, Quackers is roughly the same length (~80 minutes).
When I was looking this up a week or so ago, I got the impression that Rayman GBC was a pretty big hit for Ubisoft in Europe, although I don’t know that I had a specific source for that. Oh hm well Wikipedia says Rayman for PS1 is the biggest PS1 game of all time in the UK, I certainly didn’t know that. MobyGames has the GBC version “Ranked #28 of 282 games.”
Yeah 3 copies of Vol.1: The Mahjong–but both releases: the '98 original by Culture Publishers–here’s a perhaps slightly selective look at the front and center of their current web site
–and the '99 re-issue with D3Publisher’s logo in place of the CP.
And yes the stack includes four that came out here from Agetec with generic names like Bowling, Billiards, Tennis, and Boxing and can still be downloaded from the PS3 US PS Store for oh $5 or so each I think, then on a jailbroken PS3 ripped to PC and extracted with PSXtract2021 and played in lovely high res in DuckStation. ^ _^
The particular CD binder I’ve been using for most PS/DC stuff just filled up again thanks to these so I think that means I’m done collecting game discs? ; D

State of alfred’s game collection 2024. I’m all done buying or selling physical games for the foreseeable future. These photos look horrible on the computer, they looked much better on my phone. When did I become a game collector? I’m not happy about it…
I now have more than triple the nes games than I did 10 years ago, but still 95% of them are me just rebuying ones I once owned. As I once said, game center cx rekindled my love for earlier nes games rather than later, 16-bit-aspiring ones that collectors love, which means I didn’t have to spend a whole lot of money. (Metal storm, a huge exception, was actually $4 a long, long time ago…)
I’ve never posted my snes collection. The expensive ones are a little embarassing but back in the day you could get these games really cheap. you can’t see chrono trigger, buried under everything in a plastic hardshell case that I think is from a 90s game rental store.
I didn’t own any sfc games at all until very recently. I was always worried if I started, I wouldn’t be able to stop. But there’s actually a pretty small list of sfc games I want to own. Even this pile looks like it needs to be pared down a bit.
A note from Masahiro who sold me a super famicom game on Ebay and lives somewhere in Aichi.
Saturn I have the satiator now so I have to decide what I’m going to do eventually. Again the issue is what if the satiator breaks in 20 years and there is nothing like that on the market ever again. I might just keep the ones on the left. It’s a lot to see all together, but these purchases were spread out over like ten years where I wasn’t really buying or playing any other games, and I found a lot of good deals thanks to ebay alerts so…
PS1 I hope there is a way to run games using ps2’s native backwards compatiblity soon. I’d like to get rid of these. I do think I have a cool ps1 collection but they just feel so fragile.
PS2 I also wouldn’t mind getting rid of these because of free mcboot. But you never know if a game is marked as “working” with ESR or OPL and maybe it’ll crash in some late game part. It would be cool if there was a ps2 ODE that could also do ps1…
Xbox/360 games not compatible with the Xbox One, which live under my bed. I’d love to get rid of these if emulation improves a bit and I get a new PC. Notice some of these do have xbox one versions available and some of those I did end up purchasing, others I had no desire to purchase again. either way nobody wants those so I guess I’m stuck with them.
My 3ds is hacked but I still keep a couple 3DS games to save SD card space, and the homebrew solution I use for regular DS games only allows 40 titles to be installed.
The Xbox One collection. There is such perverse pleasure in seeing a dragon quest game on xbox. Dragon’s dogma is the arabic edition that was on american ebay for some reason.
The Switch. Import gaming lives…
Almost forgot here are some box set things. I want to reemphasize how much I regret importing ace angler from southeast asia. I think it was like a hundred dollars all together. I thought it was out of print but I’m not used to buying recently released games. It was just the first print. They did another print run of the japanese version after christmas. I just wanted the rod and they started selling that separately too. Cool game though!

These are such beautiful choices. I recently bought some Japanese Saturn games and I’m trying to resist the urge to just buy things that I admire.

This is the only time I can think of where I’ve actually really wanted one of LRG’s goofy full blown collector’s editions.
Won’t let myself do it…it wouldn’t arrive for like three years and would be bound to have production issues or something.
Just…dang…

I owned Psygnosis’s Novastorm for approximately 40 minutes today as part of a knowingly disadvantageous but kinda necessary use of a gifted Pink Gorilla gift card for quick cash, visiting two separate Pink Gorillas back to back…too embarrassing to explain the whys…but I kept Bravo Air Race and chose it cuz I was sure I remembered someone here (or @loki via lunatic obscurity) mentioning it was a decent racer and I like a good plane game but I don’t see anything substantial about it on either site… I guess I’ll play it soon and see. In theory I really want to play video games again but haven’t been able to bring myself to outside of social situations. but putting a PS1 disc in my PS2 hooked up to the CRT must rouse the old passions, surely!

The Bravo Air Race Story: Thanksgiving The Late 90s, probably 1998.
We were at my dad’s coworker’s house. He was from San Francisco and a 49ers fan, my family is from Texas so Go Cowboys. Before the Football game and sometime into the food their kids which were 2 and 4 years younger than me were enjoying their brand new Playstation with two games: Bravo Air Race and A Bug’s Life. I think this was their first Game Console.
I didn’t think much of either game. At some point the mom came in said “We were going to get a NINTENDO but then I saw that game GOLDENEYE where you KILL PEOPLE and I will not allow that in my house.” My mind immediately flashed with Nintendo Games, Mario Kart, Mario 64, Wayne Gretzky Hockey. And then it flashes with Playstation games, Resident Evil 2, Metal Gear Solid, Twisted Metal, ReLoaded.
My mom years later would suddenly blurt out That Family always thought you were GAY.
I’ll always think about how that family thought the Nintendo 64 was the console with all the murder. (They kids apparently had a blast with Goldeneye before mom caught wind of it, thanks Blockbuster!)
What’s the best games an American Weird Christian Family could get for a Playstation in 1998?

I gotta say they were spot on with the Bug’s Life pick considering it’s made by Traveller’s Tales. Apparently Rascal came out the same year so that I guess.
