I'm sure everyone has one, a game they want not because it's rare, but because it's fun and despite their efforts, they can't find it, for me, it's Street Fighter Alpha 3 for either the Playstation, or the DreamCast. My story about it is as follows... My girlfriend was going shopping with her mom and wanted some money, so I hand over a paycheque (~$200 CDN) and she goes to town. She returns from this shopping spree and has bought herself some pants or something, life carries on as usual. Then she makes mention of stopping at a used CD place, and seeing Street Fighter Alpha 3 for the Playstation. Then she stops talking, and I wait for her to hand it to me... about 30 seconds pass, and she asks me why I'm staring at her. I request that she hand the game to me. to which she responds "Oh, I didn't buy it" of course being that I don't drive, I didn't get a chance to get back to get the game, and I spent the rest of the day telling her how much I wanted that game :P Everyone post similar stories here, I want to see if I'm the only one that has a game that they just cannot get.

I've been wanting Ninja GaiDen III for sometime now. I've met people who say "Yeah, I have that one!" , then when I see it, it's actually the first or second one. I've tried to get it on E-Bay, but always lose at the last couple of minutes! I'm destined to never have this cart! AAAAAAAARRRRRRRggghhh!

No. Do they usually have a good selection of video game stuff? Also, I don't have a credit card, so I have to rely on my friends, usually. Do they have a mail order system, or do you know?

I can't say as I've ever heard good things about Amazon, but I have no personal experience.

Do they have a mail order system, or do you know? They have a fairly decent selection. I can find a link to one if you want. I think you do need a credit card though.

All I know is, if I don't find this game soon, I may go stir crazy! I love all three, and I want to be able to sit down and beat all three in one day as kind of a cinematic experience. That'd be awesome!

See, this is where they try to get everybody. Only one of those that is being sold has Ninja GaiDen III. They put under a search for that, and when you get to it they say "this not III, this is part II" ... shady Internet.

No big deal. I'm used to it. Been searching for it for awhile. I did find DW III for twenty dollars 30 minutes outside of my town. I still haven't found II or IV yet. NG III just eludes.

And get this: It had the box, the booklet, and the sleeve! I didn't have the money on me at the time, so I asked them to hold it for two days, and they wouldn't. When I had the money a couple of days later, I called and asked them to hold it for about an hour. They did, and now I'm a happy man... besides the whole Ninja GaiDen III thing. :evil:

Even though I have it open in my other tab, and the link is exact. Anyway, go to Amazon and do a search for Street Fighter Alpha 3. That's how I typed it in. Under video games.

of course, I have no credit card, or money :P I'm avoiding ebay too, I think I could get myself in some trouble with that.

Probably go splurge happy? I know I would. Another good place to check for games sometimes is Half.com. It's run by E-bay, but you can find some sweet deals on there.
