New wax, and it’s a big one this time.

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 2
 
So, had these ordered recently and they arrived yesterday.

Starting with this game, I got it because it came with 2 games I knew and loved that were among my top 10 favorite racing games on PS1 and I really wanted to experience them again on PC since I knew Test Drive 5 was even better and possibly Offroad 2 as well. Cool thing about this is it's still sealed! :D

Went looking for NASCAR Legends since I really wanted it and found this lot. The fact it had that already was good enough for me, but it having NR1999 was quite the offer since it's yet another Papyrus game, and I didn't know anything about Kawasaki ATV Powersports, but I felt it'd be worth finding out.

NASCAR Legends and NASCAR Racing 1999 Edition are worthy additions to my library and ones I see myself playing some in the future. As for Kawasaki ATV Powersports, it's alright, but it has a lot to offer even if the core gameplay isn't great.

While I have yet to get Test Drive Offroad 2 working, Test Drive 5 works really well after some tweaking. However, something I didn't know until I got these games is these versions are rereleases of said games that omitted the music for some reason. While it can be restored for Test Drive 5 and possibly Test Drive Offroad 2 as well, I can't help but be lowkey annoyed by this because 5's music has a lot of meaning to me. Still, glad to have the game either way.

I bought 3 deluxe/limited edition CDs by my main man this week. I lost all my vinyl and CDs in a house fire 10 years ago and switched to MP3s but I'm starting up a minor CD collection again.

Sorry to hear about the fire fella. As you work in Leeds, hit up Wall of Sound in the basement of Crash Records. Tons of CDs and Wax secondhand. Then again, if you’re Leeds man you’re probably all over it. 👍
 
In the past few days I've learned about this new shop right here in my hometown which is selling 2nd-hand games, reconditioned consoles and accessories for retro-gaming and so on... went there to check it out myself, this is what I bought on my first visit:

Let's break down the contents :D:
  • NFS Shift Platinum for PS3, a game I really missed for the last few years... I actually had the PC version of it, but my cousin did me the "favor" of giving it to someone else and I've never seen it again... this one cost me 10€
  • Gran Turismo 5 Academy Edition, a game I've never played before, cost me another 10€
  • Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Platinum, another game I've never played and this one is the most complete version of it if I'm not mistaken, 5€
  • GTA San Andreas for PS2, because why not... of course I already owned a copy of it, but I really wanted an earlier ROM than the one I currently have (which is the Platinum), this one is from 2004, cost me 12,5€
  • Bully Canis Canem Edit for PS2, the real highlight of the lot here... I've been trying to find this game for over 15 years, a true classic and really hard to come by these days. Complete with physical map and user manual, and the disc itself looks as good as new, all of this for ONLY 15€

The guy at the store told me he'll be adding some Gran Turismos for PS2 to the shelves this week, so I might come back for some more shopping... :dopey:
