Re: Has a game ever felt wrong in your hands?
(I know you are all talking about ROMs, but I do have a confession to make about playing a game that feels wrong)
The day I bought my GBC, I went to a local AMES store and asked for one. Sadly enough, all they had was the display model. The elderly clerk rang up the manager if it was ok for me to purchase it, eventhough it was there very last one. She said ok, and I was excited. When the old woman took it out of the display case, I noticed something...there was a game still inside the GBC! Now here comes the confession. I didn't say anything. I just thought "Hey if they notice something, they would take it out" but they didn't. I gues because they don't know that much about GBC, or electronics in general, that they just rang it up and put it in a bag. When I walked through the metal detector, I was expecting for the alarms to go off....nothing! I walked over to the car with my father, drove home, opened to see what game it was and it was Earth Worm Jim. Thank god it was Earth Worm Jim because if it was a Zelda game, I wouldn't live with myself by playing any more of the Zelda series. Well I was bored that summer, I started to play, but everytime I played it was as if the elderly store clerk was watching me steal that thing over and over again. That's when I knew I had to get rid of it. I stopped playing for the rest of the summer, and one day I went to EB (Electronic's Boutique) and asked if they bought used games (I didn't know at the time that they did). That's when I sold Earth Worm Jim emediatly(sp?). After that day I sorta had a better concious(sp?) about it, but it feels even better whenever I confess it. Now that game, really felt wrong in my hands.
