Well, that was interesting. The local used game store, which usually has a pretty poor selection of old games, today had a couple historic games in stock: Pac-Man for the 2600, _and_ a game for the Magnavox Odyssey² (it was just a bowling game, but we'd never seen an Odyssey² game before)

Also, in a really weird coincidence, we just learned of the existence of the game Crystalis today, looked it up and thought it looked interesting and planned to emulate it sometime, and then what did that game store have but a copy of Crystalis in their front display case? Only $5, too.

They also had what we went there for, which is the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD remix, so that was nice.

@Felthry
Crystalis is is a very good game.

(Its on the SNK collection that was released a couple of months ago)

@JulieSqveakaroo I don't know if we've ever played anything from SNK. They're mostly known for arcade games, right? But they did make the Neo Geo, which I think had a home console version as well as the arcade cabinet version.

@Felthry
The NeoGeo home and cabinet versions were very similar to each other. The SNK collection, though it is the same company, doesn't have anything on it from the NeoGeo era.
