Persona 3 and 4. And NMH 1. Seriously, WTF? Why are these games so damn hard to find? I thought NMH and Persona were relatively underrated games?
MGS 2 and 3 subsistence/limited edition/special edition ones, you know with the VR stuff.
I can get the original MGS on PSN but the other 2 seem to be really expensive.
£150 new and £54 used!

I've had this problem a few times, and sometimes it's lead to piracy. Usually though Steam has the game so I don't have to worry.
With the internet, you can find many, many old games, as long as you are prepared to pay the price for them.
Aside from that, you could shop at the bargain bins and hope to get lucky.
There is a third option - as time goes on, it is becoming increasingly easier to emulate old games on the PC or buy them as a downloadable title. For example, you can buy FFVII on the PSN, in all it's 32-bit blocky "glory". As time goes by, I expect Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, as well as "good-old games" ans steam to add more old games to their catalogues. Eventually, you'll be able to buy old PS2 games on PSN (count on it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday). So merely waiting for them to be re-released is a valid option.
But let's say you can't find it anywhere, and it doesn't seem likely that a title is popular enough to be re-released or emulated. You can probably find video-walkthroughs of the game in question. It's far from being able to play it yourself, but at least it allows you to experience the game to a limited degree.

Alas no. The date is about right, but this was on the IBM PC and I remember the player character was not humanoid, but some kind of creature thing I think. All the sprites were square-ish and the same size. I think the colour scheme was CGA palette 0, cyan and magenta. The screen didn't scroll to follow you; the screens were fixed so when you went off the side/top/bottom of one, the screen changed and you reappeared on the other side of the next screen.Unrulyhandbag said:
