Cheapest I can find is £15 for Michigan and £5 for Gregory Horror Show, and I think the airmail costs should be about £7. All in all, it comes to about $50.

It's tempting to ask for games - it feels fitting to use them as currency - but I've already bought a few things recently and I still haven't got a job, so it's probably best to just take the money.

Any other takers?

It's a deal. Do you want a check or do you have Paypal? Paypal would be best for me. PM me your paypal e-mail address and we can get this going on! Thanks a lot!

It probably depends on whether you want the original release, in the card box with the art cards and stuff, or the recent re-release, in a normal, plastic case and with no fancy extras. The re-release is going for about $25 new, but (last time I checked) the original one is at least double that. Second-hand, obviously.

Oh, and there is one other thing I want: one copy of each issue of TGQ (starting with issue 6) put aside so I can order a few all at once. I don't want Christmas to come round and find you're out of one.

Edit: Oh, and the month thing is fine. I could do this anytime, so long as I can find somewhere that stocks what you want.

Sos Final Escape / Disaster Report is also fairly cheap in the UK.

S.O.S.!

I've played that. I even managed to finish it, although I didn't rescue anyone.

It was a brilliant idea, with the rotating and complete lack of character actions and all. It's what's got me all hot under the collar about that Day of Disaster game for the Wii.

Guys do mainstream games please. Or a shooter.
You could dissect a JRPG as an example of how NOT to do things.
It pays to start with these things, to attract audience interest.

Such a massive disappointment after the first one.

Bah.

Then again, I understand that the US Playstation version of Grandia was poorly received as well. Given that I only played the Saturn version, I can't comment on that.

Honestly, I don't know. I got so bored so fast...

Grandia had big animated cutscenes without sucking though.

Yeah, that's the one. Almost all of the spells have FMVs and a few of them get Special Anime Animations. It's everything wrong with the jrpg tidily summed up.
