Actually I live closer to Dallas than Austin. Although I used to live in Austin when I was in college. And the National Videogame Museum is like, 10 minutes from my hosue. And I'm still bitter they never hired me.
Well sorry that you can't borrow my copy. :) You can come over and play it, though. Is it worth the drive? :)
If that book is called "Blips!" and I think it is, then I still have that book and know exactly which gag you're referring to. Pac-Man is telling a ghost everything he's eaten, and the ghost stops and says, "Ulp, stop, you're making me sick!" And then Pac-Man turns around and says, "Wait, don't you want to hear about what I had for dessert?"
Like most sports games, I never got into basketball ones. I do remember that Arch Rivals and NBA Jam were everywhere in arcades, though.
Only basketball games I got into were Mario Hoops 3 on 3 on DS and Mario Sports Mix on Wii. Both were made by Square and both had Final Fantasy characters in it, too. In the story mode on Mario Sports Mix, the last thing you do is fight a giant FF Behemoth with sports skills you used from playing basketball, volleyball, and dodgeball. I'm surprised people don't bring this up more often, as I found that VERY weird!
Dairy Queen should do a Dragon Quest promotion with their Blizzards! Actually a yogurt place did a DQ promo a couple of years ago.
Do you have Netflix? There is a DQ computer animated movie on it now.
There was also a Pangya game on PSP. I liked the designs of some of the characters. I tried to review Golf Story but it fell through.
Yeah I don't know how much really old import games go for.
I liked Mario Odyssey a lot, but I think I liked Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 just a little more.
I just requested to review a Switch golf game that just came out called What the Golf? But I haven't heard back from them yet. I wonder if the old online PC golf game Pangya is sitll around? That was pretty close to Everyone's Golf.
Yeah like I said in my blog, I wish they could've added titles like Time Pilot, Gyruss, etc. But that's why I didn't get this collection until it was on sale.
