Some weeks ago, I purchased perfect condition copies of Crazy Taxi 1 & 2 for the Dreamcast. The buyer is reliable, I've used them before. But it seems the postal system is not - and they've apparently disappeared.
I'm gutted - I hardly ever buy things in pristine condition, I'm not that type of collector (I buy things to use them, not frame them). But these games have a special place in my heart, and - as with the DC console itself - I wanted to get a boxed, undamaged and great condition version of each game just this one time*.
I know it's a first world problem and all, but it nonetheless has made me feel very sad. I guess things of this kind get amplified during the pandemic, especially for "comforter" purchases like these.
Still, if you see my games out there in the wild, running footloose and fancy free, give them a tearful wave from me.
UPDATE: After the most bizarre postal experience ever. these finally turned up! So there was a happy ending after all! 😀
(* okay I also did it for Dungeon Master & Chaos Strikes Back. But that's it.)
