I bet if they do find any E.T. cartridges, they would have been a faulty batch or something. Who knows what's hidden in the landfill? Drugs? Nuclear waste? Skeletons? The problem with E.T. was basically it was rushed and someone recently did make the game better since it did have some features that weren't common at the time like a proper full screen title screen but it's not like its the worst Atari 2600 game that's out there...
Anyway, on Wednesday I got myself an original Xbox that does work that came with the remote, a steering wheel, 2 controllers (1 Controller S and a 3rd party one) and 13 pretty good games including Burnout 3 that after playing it discovered why I love gaming in the first place. On Saturday, I bought myself another 14 Xbox games very cheaply including the underrated and poorly reviewed Headhunter Redemption, OutRun 2, the Finnish version of Dead to Rights that was strangely completely in English* (I thought Finnish games were English in game and packaging/instructions were in Finnish) and the original Forza that I didn't know existed on the original Xbox.
* - I'm guessing it was the Finnish version since it's not PEGI [Peggy] (the usual one), BBFC (UK until recently, some games have them like the GTA series but not commonly rated), ELSPA (the one before PEGI, was used before 2003 in the case of PS2/NGC/Xbox/GBA games you would have both ELSPA and PEGI), the Australian one (similar to US movie ratings, very rare to see in Europe) or the German USK one. Unlike the US that just has ESRB ratings, Europe can get messy.
It's just that some of the games that I want happen to be pricey like Jet Set Radio Future, OutRun 2006, GunValkyrie, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2, Psychonauts, Taito Legends 1 & 2 (pretty much legal MAME even if the 2nd one has Elevator Action Returns), Super Monkey Ball Deluxe (not as much as both Gamecube games though), Operation Winback 2 (fair enough it was one of the last games to be released in Europe) and the big one Shenmue II where you can get a decent PS3/360 game for that price. In fact apart from OutRun 2 (Microsoft published it), Headhunter Redemption (see the reason above) and Sega GT 2002 plus sports games but we won't mention those, nearly all the Sega games aren't cheap at all. I am aware of the wink, wink, nudge, nudge method but am afraid of something bad happening and something bad always happens to me. It's not like the Wii where there are 100 million+ machines about. Also if anyone can please recommend me some suggestions to get for the console?
This is what I already have:
If it wasn't for this chest infection, would have certainly played more on it. Also I weren't the only person who bought a console recently in the family. My mum bought herself a Wii, yes I know it's not like 2007-2008 where everyone were buying Wiis and that means any Wii game that I already have, I can play on it no problem until the Wii U that is since she would only occasionally play on it and only on simple to control games like Bust A Move, Wii Sports (the only games she can really play are puzzle games like Tetris and Columns, Sonic 1 and Sonic Triple Trouble, the rest are too hard for her even games like Sega Superstars Tennis). Oh and got myself Disaster: Day of Crisis, a Nintendo game that wasn't released in America. Na, na, na, na na :)
