![]() ![]() Instead of the CGI intro I was familiar with, the game immediately went to a dark blue screen. I was giddy as I watched the typical boot fade into the start of the game. I looked on the back to ensure there were no debilitating scratches or other damages, and then placed it in my PS2. Perhaps I was drawing conclusions too early, but my mind instantly went to the possibility of this disc being a beta. You can imagine my excitement at the sight of this. It looked sort of like a bootleg CD-R, but it didn’t have a label indicating it was one. The disc on the other hand was much different. The case was exactly the same as the others, although it had seen better days. I took the game out of the plastic bag and examined it thoroughly. Not long after, I was handing a copy over to the cashier.Īs soon as I got home I went to my room and wiped the dust off my fat PS2, which I hadn’t used in a couple weeks. I giggled at the thought of how so many copies of the game ended up here. This was a somewhat common occurrence, although usually with VHS tapes rather than games. I was surprised to see over 15 copies of Tekken 4 for the PS2 sitting neatly on the shelves, all in various conditions. I walked in and headed for the DVDs and games section, as always. I remember having many lucky finds there, and this day was no different. It was a little thrift store in the middle of town. ![]() As it was getting late, I decided to check one last store before I went home. I had been visiting some thrift stores throughout the day, looking for video games and robots to add to my collections. It all started with what seems to be a completely chance occurrence. I still have this interest, but I’ve become cautious about delving into this little lost world after a recent event. I’ve had a life long interest in prototypes, glitches, and similar unseen medias.
