      Your spouse got more joy from the discovery of that cartridge than anyone who bought one got from playing it.

    2. I think I remember hearing that game was very frustrating. Maybe someone had ENOUGH!!!

    3. Yes, it’s not a great game, but it’s not as memetically terrible as its reputation belies.

      Once you understand how to play it, it actually *is* playable. It’s not a broken game. Problem is, it’s not naturally *intuitive* on how to play.

    4. Precisely the place for it, lol. Nah! Just kidding. Though I do think they purposefully buried overstock of that item.. famously.

      BTW: Leaves of Three, leave ET be.

      I remember when these were almost worth their weight in gold. It was the most anticipated thing of the season. It took weeks of playing it over and over to finally accept the fact that this game was shit. An innocence lost moment. How could something so good be so bad. sigh.
