So last week we were on vacation...

[A Black Falcon]

That's awesome and all but...do you just buy games to expand your collection at this point?

Sometimes, pretty much... :D

Why else would I have gotten something as horrible as US Gold's Winter Olympics '94 (for free, but still...)? I mean, I had the PC version of their World Cup game from that year and it was terrible, but... it was free... (my only regret is that I missed out on a (also free) copy of Super Troll Islands... :D)

At least with Midnight Raiders I have the excuse of "FMV games are often so bad that they're funny, so they're worth getting despite their low quality"... :)

Also it's not like I had the internet around to go check up on each game. I was just going by my memory of stuff. Mostly from Nintendo Power and stuff, since most of those games aren't stuff I've played the roms of...

... and when it's 6 games for $5, and there are some number of games you want, just just fill in some additional spots with ... other stuff. Like that game. Or Phantom 2040, which I got because I remember the cheesy newspaper comic (which the local paper used to have years ago but dropped some time back) and despite that the game was sure to be mediocre at best I wanted it anyway. :)

(And besides, Power Piggs actually has a kind of well done manual. It's like a cartoon book, mostly, telling the backstory... such as it is... :))

With the N64 stuff at least only a couple of them were "knowingly getting bad games" material... Clayfighter and Big Mountain, namely... I did resist buying Automobili Lamborghini, though, which I remember being awful and not worth playing. But it's another Titus game, and Titus was not exactly known for quality... (making, for instance, Whizz, Prehistorik Man, and Power Piggs. I debated not getting those ones because they were Titus games, but because of how cheap they were got them anyway.)

Titus just had such a horrific track record. I mean... in addition to this stuff, they made Superman 64 and Blues Brothers 2000, two of the worst N64 games ever, and it's not easy to find a Titus game with consistently high ratings. :)

Anyway, to answer your question, the thought essentially is "meh, at that price, why not? It's not like I have to actually PLAY the game much..."
