The Plaion cartridges are almost certainly reflashable and $90. You can already get a Vortex cart with all the commercial releases. These guys selling their overpriced garbage better make those sales quick.
I had moved across the country and was working remotely. Didn't know anyone and was stuck inside because it was winter. I think I played through every single action RPG on Xbox. This one stood out as being both pretty good and one that nobody had heard of. I recall liking aspects of it better than the similar Baldur's Gate.
Minor points here, but I highly suspect you meant "University of Texas at Austin" and "University of Houston." University of Texas in Houston does not exist, University of Austin is a recently founded diploma mill that did not exist in the 80s.

Re: Treasure's Sublime Guardian Heroes Turns 30 Today, Which Makes Us Sad We Never Got A Proper Sequel
Never understood the love for this game, TBH. I had it on Saturn and also played the Xbox remake. It's a tedious slog in my experience.
Re: Interview: "Everything Was Turned Up To Eleven" - Uncovering The Epic Story Behind Mortal Kombat's Unforgettable Audio

Planting trees everywhere and watching them grow.
Not knowing that going to the next turn was going to end the game prematurely in Fable 3.

Re: R-Type Delta HD Boosted May Not Be The Definitive Way To Play This PS1 Gem, After All
Lol. Reviewers not actually playing the game. Typical. Reminds me of the "I hated the motorcycle parts in Headhunter 2" fiasco.
Re: Review: Final Fight MD (Mega Drive) - Arguably The Best Version Of Capcom's Belt-Scrolling Classic
I wish he'd add some new levels or something. I love this game but it's been done to death.
