That's a really good list of games to own, cannot go wrong with them games. I'm after one of the games myself which is Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects, can never seem to find it at a decent price.


I actually found one with the box for around $12. Have you tried a converter? Might be worth it in the long run.

Really, for some reason I thought you had that one.

You should PM an updated wanted list over.

I have a freeloader but prefer to pick up the Pal versions when available and pick up the US versions when not.

Will do that, my good man.

@Godstar...that really is a quality list of GC titles. No fluff in there at all. :D

Anybody have any experience of the "unbranded, black extension cable" selling on Amazon?

These seem to be the only cable of it's type sold on Amazon at the moment, despite being listed under brands like Joytech etc.

I'm a massive fan of Eternal Darkness. My wife and I played through separately to get all the different ending then unlocked the final god.
Rune was good too but the controls were lacking somewhat.
But my favourite has to be Lost Kingdoms II.. A brilliant mix of exploration, collecting and combat.

Isnt Rune just the first Lost Kingdoms with a different name? Enjoyed that a lot aswell. This might not make sense but it felt very trademark From Software and i seem to love everything they put out.

Eternal Darkness deserves all the praise it can get. Genuinly unnerving, imaginative and the sanity meter was a genius idea that im surprised hasnt been copied by anyone else since.

Don't know if it became before or after, but Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth had a sanity meter, it was a bit more complex than just a little bar though.

CoC:DCotE came out a while later in PC an Xbox and basically sucked when you got to the Marsh Refinery due to very limited ammo and unlimited respawning enemies...
The sanity in Eternal Darkness was much much better though with all the hallucinations and the like :)

You have to mate, its fabulous. One of the best games on the GC imo. Certainly in my top 5.

Don't read any more about it, just do it. I'll loan you mine if you want.

If you read about it, you will get spoilers. Some of the sanity effects lose their value if you know about them in advance.

It looks rough, it was initially started as an N64 game, but its worth getting over that hurdle for the story behind it.
