@Sketcz My guess is just 'Hollywood Accounting' doing what its always done. Of course theres no proof, and I'm sure for most movie budgets and profits there wont ever be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_accounting
@fout21 Im so torn with Retro Games, you get that high from owning and engaging in a more authentic version of the past, but on the other hand by being into retro games you are now inadvertently part of a giant cluster ***** of speculators and scalpers, not to mention you're dealing with old antiques which usually have to be shipped / imported, and arent necessarily guaranteed to be in a working condition for too much longer without some kind of maintenance of upkeep. Then you have the storage space, the baggage (physically, and even mentally) for all this clutter? The convenience of digital technology is becoming ever more appealing by the day
I only use mobygames nowadays for their review section since gamefaqs is quite unreliable and inconsistent. Mobygames have compiled lots of old magazine reviews for large numbers of games in multiple languages, and user reviews sometimes help too.

Re: Without Ghouls ‘n Ghosts We Wouldn't Have Sonic, Says Yuji Naka
Pretty fascinating stuff... Naka was a coding genius, who also worked on some early console emulators around that time too?
