Yeah fair cop and thanks for the heads up, I don't want to be pinching my games, everyone needs to get paid for their job.

If there was any way I could 'check in' my key as it were, and verify if it was legit or not, I'd be happy to do so. (And if it's a dodgy key, re-purchase through Steam.)


So yeah it seems G2A is really bad.

I didn't even check how much the PS4 version is going for, as I can play it with an XBox pad on my PC and I'm not a big fan of the Dualshock. Unfortunately there is no XB1 version or I'd have got it for that.

I've owned one in the past, but more recently I've just had the 600 and 1200. A friend asked if I could help him out with one, so I sold him my 600 on the cheap, so that's obviously enough justification to buy another ;)

Yeah. PC, Switch and Xbox One here.

I noticed that among the other sale stuff were various rogue-like games, but fortunately Binding of Isaac wasn't in there or I'd have ended up buying that for the third time too. :)

This doesn't really count as I mainly buy them for the site, but Lemmings is probably my most bought game - Master System, Mega Drive, NES, SNES, CD-I, Game Gear, Game Boy, Lynx, Playstation, PSP, CD32. I only ever really played the Amiga version though and that would have probably been a pirate copy. :)

I think he is. I have RE4 on GameCube, Wii, 360, and PS4. That’s one fewer.

I only bought GTA V a mere three times, for the record.

It would involve having negative brain. Is that even possible?

This worked for 30 minutes and then died. Had to send it off to Spain and hopefully get a replacement. Hopefully it wasn't my Amiga that killed the board as it might happen with the replacement too.

This didn't work at all. After a while, I noticed the CPU wasn't seated properly and the pins were bent and in trying to seat it properly, I snapped one of the pins completely. Fortunately I got a replacement on eBay for a tenner and everything's all working, so I was able to have a dabble with Pinball Dreams and Speedball. :)
