Looking at my thousands of games I own, some bought brand new at $60+ and yet I sit here going "what if I played the worse translation for a VN I've recently finished?" Or "what if I play the English translation of a PS1 game that's the seventh in the series and I've played maybe two hours of one of them?" Or the most recent development: "hey what if I got a Sega Saturn emulator?"

What if I play a dating game I never knew existed until a youtube video mentioned it briefly?

Also I was surprised to learn that even fifteen years ago people used the console art for Higurashi. So it turns out the console art was available back on the PS2.

Wizardry VII: Crusaders of the Dark Savant (DOS)

okay but who here plays/played Wizardry VII: Crusaders of the Dark Savant

and remembers that copy protection thing where you had to use the manual to get into the game

“go to X page and look in paragraph X, line X, word X” and if you put in the wrong thing it would auto-quit the game

i may or may not have spent literal days backhacking an illegal, unformatted copy of the manual (not REALLY illegal, it’s open-source now anyway) and figuring out 75 out of 78 possible passwords by trial and error while adding the appropriate page/paragraph/line breaks to the unformatted copy as i went

so now i can get into the game flawlessly almost every time and i only still don’t know 3 of the passwords because which one comes up is randomized and i got tired to repeatedly quitting just to try to make them come up
