The Second-Hottest Man in my Mother's Basement
Anyone ever have one of those video games as a kid that you absolutely adored and played all the time, only to lose it and not play it in years?
A long time ago the rental place in my city (then a small town) had two games for the Nintendo 64 I had never heard of called Goemon's Great Adventure and Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. I rented Great Adventure and loved it so much I went out and bought it (amazingly, found it on the first try... I didn't know till years later that it is a very rare game), but it took me a long time to play Mystical Ninja. When I finally did... God, it was incredible. It is like Zelda, only it is in rural Japan, and there are giant robots and stuff. I never had a memory card when I was younger so I always had to restart the game when I turned it off, but I loved it so much I didn't mind.
Eventually, though, the rental place got rid of it, and that was literally the only copy that I saw of that game for over a decade. A little over a month ago I ordered the game off of Amazon, and after a month and a postal strike it finally arrived today!! It's so awesome to be playing this after so many years, it is the exact same way I remember it.
Has anyone else ever had something like this? It's awesome... I feel like a kid again!
(Here's the opening video from Mystical Ninja. Completely hardcore Japanese game... Now that I've seen so much anime I find the opening absolutely music absolutely hilarious)
