They would have made it free if they could have...and who’s paying more for a Saturn port than what the CPS2 version costs? I really am starting to hate gamers....

There is some crossover, but honestly they are almost different hobbies...

Somehow collectards think that every game they own has to increase in value every time it’s sold, like real estate or something. They have to add what they paid as shipping to the price.
Of all the things I bought in 1997, I’m pretty sure video games are the only things I could sell for more than I paid.
Like many people with a pile of old games, I used to wonder if I’d ever be tempted to sell...but things have gotten SO nuts that I figure one of two things will happen:
1) the value will rise so high that I’ll be glad to sell, regardless how much I like the stuff and all the memories I have of playing the games with my friends. If Panzer Azel hits $3000...fine, take it!
2) the market will crash and I’ll be able to double the size of my collection for nothing.
I guess I’ll be fine either way. At this moment though...my buying has really slowed down.

Personally the case thing goes so far to me, that if I had a selection between a great game that doesn't have a case and artwork vs a good game that has one. I'd probably pick the good game. But that's why I make my own covers.
I know there is a lot of controversy whether "repros", "bootlegs," or "fakes" are the right word to describe these. Personally I call a copy a repro, if it's looks very much like the original but doesn't lie what it is. I call it a bootleg if it isn't as convincing. And I call it a fake if it tries to pass itself as real. I also don't support those who try to pass off a bootleg, repro whatever you call it as the real thing. I'm quite good at spotting a fake. But when I have to spend 30 minutes, to look at the board inside the transparent gba case, to see if the copy of Emerald is real. Yeah. It's a bad thing.
I guess ebay can be somewhat blamed for it as well. As ebay doesn't allow repros on their platform (despite how many of them are there.) So putting repro on your listing basically means, they are going to remove the listing a whole lot faster.
My reply that repros flooding the market was a bad argument. It's an emotional response to collectards who basically say you are the crappiest person in the world if you own a single repro (that you are not even trying to pass off as real). But repros are a good thing for the market. I'm pretty sure the prices would be even more ridiculous if they didn't exist.

It does a great job of representing the movie but it’s so easy it’s not any fun. indeed, it isn't a great space shooter by any means. however, it does manage to be quite decent for an Anime tie-in game. oh, how i lusted after a copy, since reading about the game in a 1997 issue of GAME FAN magazine. owning all of this, back then, would have indeed been a wild, WILD wet dream that would have totally blown my mind straight the hell to Mars...

tasuke wrote: indeed, i am a complete TECNOSOFT nerd Likewise. In terms of their catalogue of titles, imho they are one of the best video game developers of all-time. There is a bit of a grey area with regards TecnoSoft as an employer. I cannot locate the document at present, but there was a message coded in one of their games that was uncovered a few years back that was basically a tirade against the work environment, conditions and so on. If I manage to dig it up again I'll post it here. The sketchy stuff aside, for me the jewels in their crown are Hyper Duel and Blast Wind (aka Inazuma Savor). I think SEGA bought all the TecnoSoft IP's not so long ago? Don't forget the spin-off (for want of a better word) stuff too, like Gleylancer (I bought that years ago from Mandarake, wish I never sold it) and Eliminate Down by Aprinet. Great games.
