Message: [QUOTE="DietPepsi, post: 148603, member: 73697"] [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="453px" size="400x300"]48355[/ATTACH] [I][SIZE=2]This isn't my copy, but I bought the same boxed-edition that came with the gun[/SIZE][/I] [/CENTER] Over the weekend I had the opportunity to fulfill a childhood dream of mine, owning a copy of Time Crisis (with the guncon). Let me just say, there’s just something magical about blasting through waves of bad guys with an arcade-grade lightgun in hand, like it’s 2003 all over again. Between the ridiculous cutscenes, pedal-free cover system, and the sheer satisfaction of rapid-firing my way through an entire magazine, I can already tell this is gonna eat a LOT of my free time. Getting to play Time Crisis 3 in the comfort of my room without having to share the "machine" was pretty close to what I imagine being Jeff Bezos is like. I absolutely love lightgun games, and whenever I go to an arcade the first thing I do is make a mad dash to the Time Crisis or the House of The Dead machine. However, almost any time I'd try to play, the lightgun would either be messed up, sticky, or just flat out not work. Stuff like this is what bred me into having a general disdain for going to arcades as an adult, people just can't control themselves/their kids it seems. Off topic, but I've started to get into the habit of using eBay to flesh out my collection, and one of my favorite things to do is order from Canada. One prime example is the person that sent me my copy of TC3, also attaching a thank you note to the box! Now, I'm sure none of you give a rat's ass about this, but the reason I bring it up is because the U.S Customs Department (border police that look for no-no's hidden in the mail) rifled through the box containing my copy of Time Crisis. Turns out, the government isn't exactly keen on importing gun-shaped objects through Fed-Ex... who would've thunk? Being put on a watchlist aside, I'm so hype to have this in my collection. [/QUOTE]
