Quote:In fact, I pay nothing for my ROMs and am therefore infinity times more cost effective than anyone else in this thread and you all therefore make me sick with your tremendously gluttonous spending habits. :blush: Or something like that :)
Hey, just remember to delete those roms within 24 hours of downloading ;)
Actually, a large portion of my backlog of games is caught up in roms. My biggest problem is the games that were never released in the US, and need to be fan translated. Argh, if I have to wait another 6 years before the fan translators(whom I greatly appreciate) finish Der Langrisser, I'm just going to have to learn Japanese myself.
As for another inexpensive route to gaming, check out The Home of the Underdogs. They have older games which are licensed by dead companies available for download. Most of them include instructions or addons to help them work in modern windows environments. This is quasi legal; they will remove any game from their download list if asked officially, but the companies either no longer care, or no longer exist.
EDIT: Wow, I just checked the release date on Der Langrisser, and I've been waiting 10 years for the translation to be finished, not 6. It was started soon after it was known that there would not be an official translation. Time flies when you're having fun I guess.
