I still haven't been able to find 3 for a reasonable price... there was one that's been constantly relisted on ebay for $50 which the manual had slight water damage. Figuring he'd want it to finally sell, I offered him $40. He counter offered with $47.. and I passed. The search continues...

hmm, that stinks thought you would have found one, I got lucky with the $35 copy I guess.

Very lucky. Haven't seen one on ebay (or these forums) for less than $50 or so. If I'm patient, I'm sure I'll get my deal, though

I've been playing Sylphia a lot lately.  I really wish it wasnt such a pricey game.  If it was a sub $50 game I'd say everyone should get it.  I really like the game, but I cant say its worth its typical asking price.

THIS IS WHAT I'VE ALWAYS SUSPECTED. DAMMIT.

Years ago I was too cheap to get it. The prices now...I don't even know what the going rate is. But many years ago it seemed like it was always in the $70-90 range.

...So, after you've finished, I'm sure that you want to pass it on to me for $50.  Right?   :pray:

Played some Marchen Maze yesterday and got to level six.  The game is rather frustratingly addicting!   :roll:  I'm going to have to dig it out again soon and beat it!

Also did a little 2-player Efera & Jiliora and some 3-player Dungeon Explorer II.  I have to say that while we enjoyed Efera & Jiliora, we enjoyed DE2 much better because of being able to understand what was going on in English.

I've kept a cursory eye on Sylphia over the years. People try to gouge and turn it into the next Renny Blaster, but when it auctions it seems to have trouble breaking $200. I want to say I've seen it for $150.

Well, damn. I should have bitten the bullet years ago. Dammit.

Yeah I think I paid something over $150 for it.  I cant see passing it on because I just love the music.  It often doubles as a music CD in the car when not used for gaming at home.

A game like Nexzr is worth the price it commands.  Sylphia, while good, isnt worth its going price.

Played a few minutes of Veigues before work today (yesterday).  The controls are ehh...but I have a feeling that once I master them, I'm going to really like this game.  I like the artwork & I enjoy the skill level required to switch weapons depending on what enemies you're faced with.  My one complaint is the down button, which turns you the other direction.  This is cool and innovative and useful and everything, but sometimes I just want to duck. 

Also played a bit of R-Type yesterday.  It's R-Type. :/
