It was a friend hookup lol.
Yeah, I'm not trying to be nasty. I just have a negative attitude toward repros. I can understand the enthusiasm over the English Translated role playing games (which is a genre I hardly dabble in), but the idea of owning any repro outside of that realm doesn't bode well with me.
Some of the games getting repro'd now boggle my mind. Genesis repro titles for games that have zero text, had no region protection, and cost just a few dollars less than the real thing (i.e. Verytex).
At that point...who are they reproing these games for? Importaphobes? I get some people are completionists, and if they have a wall of Genesis spines they might not want a bunch of kanji spine sore thumbs sticking out. But at that point, just accept the reality of what is and what isn't. Just collect US Genesis, or accept the fact some titles were Japan only and collect those too. Or don't! I guess I don't like this video game revisionist stuff...
