It's genuinely incredible that people would ever bother developing and releasing new games.
I've often thought this.

Virtua Racing Switch <5.94>

It turns out people do things for different reasons. Who knew?

So did I until a colleague explained otherwise. It is pretty shit, aye. I don't think you should feel bad -- you didn't know. But as I only just realised, I thought others might also be equally in the dark, so it was worth mentioning.


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.

<200> 1 TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe SSD
<7.49> Yakuza 0 for PC through Steam.

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.
<14.99> Virtual Desktop (Oculus Quest)
<90> Amiga 500. Not cheap, but it's been recapped and the price includes postage. Mainly bought it to play the old floppy games so I can test and sell the games I have already.
I find it hard to believe that you didn't already have one.

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 ;)
<2.37> Pool Nation FX (Xbox One). Deals with Gold offer at the moment.
<7.99> Rocket League (Xbox One). I'm planning on letting my Game Pass just expire as Rocket League was the only thing I was using it for, so I figured I'd buy the game outright while it's on offer.

<2.39> Rogue Legacy (Xbox One)
Have you got it on as many platforms as I have yet? Three and counting.

Waiting for the mobile edition.

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. :)
Technically I didn’t buy it for PS4 though. It’s included in my PS Plus sub that I pay for with money.
GTAV on the 360, PS3, PS4 (twice) and PC tops it for me.
Shadow of the Collosus on PS2, 3 & 4 is as close as I’ll get to buying the same game multiple times.

Wow, that’s quite a lot. You might be the new RE4 Gaywood yardstick.
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.
I have seven copies of Rise of the Robots. All different formats... I only need another 4 to complete the UK set.
I've bought the Ultima VII collection four times, I think. Because of losing physical copies or forgetting where I've bought digital copies from.
Probably Batman the Movie for I. Thrice on Spectrum in different box sizes, twice on the Meeg.

I wish I had more pounds sterling than brain cells like you
You know you can solve that by just removing parts of your brain until it's true, right?

It would involve having negative brain. Is that even possible?
Unfortunately the GBP/NEU cross has been in a self-perpetuating downward spiral for a couple of years now.
<20.72> Super Bomberman R (Switch)

Anticipating taking this off though, as I’ve already got the cartridge version which I’ll now sell on eBay.
<20> FIFA 19.

Although it was actually less than that as I got a voucher from CDKeys, but I can't be arsed to work it out.
Various Xbox special offers -

Pac-Man 256 <1.59>
Trackmania Turbo <6.24>
Condemned (360) <3.74>
Killer is Dead (360) <2.99>
Puyo Puyo Champions <3.99>

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. :)
<free><10> Humble Monthly Bundle (PC)
<21.45> Cadence of Hyrule (Switch)
