    Default A little advice?

    Wayhey, so I'm in Prague and FINALLY after many a hour of searching find a shop which sells games. Anyway, there were a couple i was wondering about picking up - they're not super cheap, but I dont really see them well, ever in the UK (all the games are Pal) Are they worth getting?

    some Largo Winch thing - PSX
    Breath Of Fire IV - PSX
    Castlevania Chronicles - PSX
    System Shock - PC
    Gabriel Knight 3 - PC

    There were some others, but I don't remember them. Anyway, thanks for reading.

    Well if your into RPG's pick up BoF4, its a bit refreshing if your into traditional turn based rpg's, and definitly pick it up if you have never played a game in the series.

    System Shock is the product of the greatest gaming genius of all time, Warren Spector. You must buy it. The original System Shock has some interface issues and it's an old DOS game like Ultima Underworld, but it's fun especially if it's on CD. If it's not CD then I don't know...

    I heard Largo Winch is a piece of sh*t James Bond/Spec Ops ripoff.

    Czech women are amazing Polish women are even better all hail the Slavic Goddesses!

    While in Praha search for the Golem, also Karkow, Poland is like Praha without the tourists.

    A friend has told me that Poland does INDEED have very beautiful women. I am also alerted that their current president is awful and the country is progressively turning into a dump, especially Warsaw.


    Yeah, hails to the Slav goddesses!


    I am not Polish however, though I am of countries east and southeast of it. Born in the USA though, like the bad Springsteen song.

    Uh...I don't know what these guys are talking about really, but Castlevania Chronicles is a worthy purchase and if the PAL version is anything like the US NTSC release it has a few interviews on the disc as bonus features as well.

    Well my favorite game by far on that list is Castlevania Chronicles which I think is a excellent game, also breath of fire 4 is really good rpg so thats not a bad game either, not to sure or fond of the other titles you mentioned in your post.

    I ended up getting BOFIV and System Shock (but Shh, I don't know this, they're birthday presents) I was going to get Castlevannia before I left, but then a "quick ice cream" turned into a 1 and a half hour epic, and my plans were thwarted.

    I did indeed go to the castle and i think I went over the bridge a few times although it was hard to tell as you couldn't actually see the bridge for the people on it.
    Went to the Golem place (turns out it was just around the corner from the hotel i was at.) It was a mixed blessing finding that place - the CD shop had Cds I actually wanted to buy in it meaning £50s worth of alcohol money was spent. Still, at least it was well spent and I still managed to come away with 3 bottles of the strongest absynthe I could find

    I enjoyed my copy of Castlevania: Chronicles for the short time I played it, until my PS2 migrated awyay. I'll have to get some more play in on it when my PS2 migrates back upsatirs (as in, away from the DDR pads).
