*giggles softly*

I really should've known. Honestly, looking back on it, I should've expected it. *snickers*

Possibly one of the most difficult to find PS1 games, one that's obscure to the point of most of my local friends have never even heard of it... and from my friends list pop two more folk who've played it. I know there're three more in that category as well, having laughed and chatted about it with them. *grins impishly* And I should've known better, because most everyone on my friends list is, in their own right, unique, dynamic, and versatile. Some of you folk are down right amazing.

It's morning... and I'm actually up and awake. It's a pretty day out; rain's predicted for later, and the telltale ache that says it's coming is present, but right this moment it's gorgeous outside. I need to clean up a bit and get dressed, and then I'm going to camp on the PS2 until it's time to head out to my therapy appointments, but I wanted to cruise through my email before I let my brain melt back into KH. :)

OH! I isolated the Athlon/WinXP system and argued with it a bit.... yes, it's Sasser. I'm going to need to download the stuff it needs later... not sure how I'm gonna do that though. That's the system with the CD burner in it. I'm really wishing I had a Zip100 disk... there's a Z100 drive in my little linux box that could be transplanted into this one to write the stuff out, and then into the Athlon system to install. Unfortunately, the only Zdisks I have are Z250's, and they're incompatible with the 100 drive.

Hrm. Well, I'll ask Megan tonight if there's enough loose change in her desk to go buy one. I really want that system back online. Well, it'll sort itself out. There has to be a way to get the files onto that machine; possibly I can get it functional on the network. Right this moment, I've got other stuff that needs doing, so it's got to wait just a little longer.

Oh, and [livejournal.com profile] matraia? In the American release, the girl's name is Shorty, and the pet is Columbo the mouse. :p

What PS1 game is that?
Wouldn't be Persona, would it?

Bust A Groove, dear. The game I'd mentioned in the previous post. :p

Sorry, too many intermediate posts. *blush*

*nods* I know. Posting frequency increases geometrically as I get nearer to meltdown. :/

Bust A Groove?

I wish you lived nearby, love. I'd demonstrate the animated joy that is Bust a Groove. It's a control pad powered dancing game, and can get more than a little complex depending on the dancer and earlier choices made. Since the beat patterns change a bit from track to track, it can be a bit dicey learning the button sequencing.

Wow. Okay, I found both of the BAG games on Amazon... and am aghast at the prices:
Bust A Groove
Bust A Groove 2


The prices are absolutely outrageous. I'm utterly appalled that anyone could have the nerve to sell these games at that price. They're both built for the original Playstation console (which I have no idea if you have access to) and are a blast to play: the lowest rating I've seen is 4 out of 5 stars.

If you've got a Playstation (PSX?), has it been 'chipped?
