Super Mario RPG
There’s been a major update, in my video games collection, lately. As I was browsing through the flea market, I stopped by a video games store to see if I could get some games at cheap prices. I’ve bought Geist for GameCube. Then I came across this:
Super *freaking* Mario RPG!
This really made my day. I was looking for Super Mario RPG since years. Of course, I saw several copies for sales in specialized stores, but they prices were always from $70 to $90. I almost fell on my ass, when I saw it at $45. They must be kidding me, I was thinking. But there was no joke; they really asked for this price. At this moment, I heard a voice in my head saying “BUY IT”. Buy it, because you’ll never see it at that price for the rest of your life. Then, this is were most of my flea market money went. I only played this game once in my life, I remember renting it at a local video club and I thought it was a 3-D Mario game. Being a kid, I somehow found this game deceiving. I didn’t understand the concept of RPGs and my lack of knowledge for the English language would have probably made that game more complicated that it was to me. Little I know that this game would turn up to be one of the most-looked SNES cartridges. I guess that’s both the elements of rarity and RPG, which makes me want this game so bad. Well, I’m glad to have finally found it. Now, I’ll have to check for Final Fantasy III and Secret of Mana. By the way, for those of you wondering, the game works very fine. Finally, this will be all for today. End of line.
