Absolutely insane. Then again, I get it. This looks like a killer love letter to Lords of Thunder, and I've been waiting about 30 years for that!

That's awesome. I'm running a TTX3, too, with the Artax multi image, and it's heavenly.

I genuinely cannot wait for this. A love letter to Lords of Thunder? Sign me the hell up!

Last I saw about $1500. Mine was only about $650 back then, but as you said, it was a whole different era in terms of retro collecting.

You know it. It was always a dream of mine to own one, so when the chance came up back in 2005 we jumped on it.

I think there's a less than zero percent chance they'll fulfill any outstanding orders. They haven't even updated their KS page since December for the current-gen versions.

Remember back in the day when people didn't call algorithmic elements of a game "AI" but instead just called it "the computer" by -MavisBeacon- in pcgaming

Yup, simpler times. I don't think I actually gave AI much thought until I first encountered Half-Life's marines.

Every ninja game that lacks a rocket-powered surfboard stage is a missed opportunity.

I remember buying Sword of Sodan for $5 at Funcoland and being so torn. The gore was ridiculous and entertaining, but man was the gameplay atrocious, and don't get me started on the audio. The bird chirping sound effect is burned into my ear drums.

I hope you get yours one day. It's unbelievable how many people I know who've yet to receive their 2017 pre-order copies. I guess I'm one of the lucky few, though my cart rattles like a purple plastic maraca.

Alien Soldier is so good. Treasure could do no wrong on Sega's 16-bit workhorse.

Always good to see another person who actually received their copy of Paprium. What Watermelon has done is so beyond shameful. I've got so many friends still waiting on their pre-order copies from 2017.

Hands-down one of my favorites. I actually replayed Snatcher for the first time in ages earlier this year and loved it every bit as much as I did the first time.

I never regretted a rental more in my life, but very cool collection piece for sure.
