Iraq! Yowzers, glad you made it back alright.
It would be nice to have the originals, though it's actually cheaper at this point to get the HD collection. Not that I'd actually play them right away lol
I guess we're all in that boat then.
Shatterhand is great! And yeah, I've never seen a used copy of Metal Storm anywhere. Must have had a low print run.
I can't believe The Cave is free, considering how new it is. Looking forward to trying it out 
I've played Gun Nac and it is indeed insane. You know, in a good Japanese kind of way.There's really nothing else like it. I haven't played any of the others but you've listed some games I've wanted to play for a long time. Metal Storm looks so good. Power Blade as well. I've always heard that Crystalis is the post-Apocalyptic Zelda game that never was, which is enough for me. Those three especially I'd love to play. Clash at Demonhead sounds interesting and I've been curious about it since Scott Pilgrim lol. I'm a little hesitant about Snake Rattle 'N Roll but hey, I'll try anything that has a co-op mode.
The problem is that none of these games are available on Virtual Console, so the only way to play them (short of emulation) is to track down the original cart. At least I already have Gun Nac...
I picked up the PSP version last year (or was it the year before?) for cheap and I'm glad I did, though i haven't started it yet. Heard so many good things. I started using my PSP again this year after it collected dust for nearly all of 2012, so hopefully I can get to VP this year.
Also, yay for awesome sprite work!
Vagrant Story is one of those that I've wanted to play for a long time. I didn't know it was available on PSN (mentioned in a previous comment), so I'll probably get it like that, though I'd love to have a physical copy.
I haven't played the new Tomb Raider. I want to, eventually, but probably after a price drop. I really like Guardian of Light though. Played it with my wife. I'm disappointed they haven't made any more like that.
Of course! It's all so clear now! Gap is a front for a nefarious corporation doing twisted genetic experiments! And I guess those experiments then need new clothes. Wow, Gap ruins their lives and then takes their money. What a scheme!
I picked this up before it became super expensive (I'm glad I did!) but I haven't started it yet. I'm a little hesitant to, actually, because of how long it is but I know that when I do, I'm in for a treat.
