It was hard enough looking up the details of which pressings are close to day one copies and how to check your copies, and then getting hold of those versions.
I believe I have a day one/first pressing Vice City, and pretty much the same with GTA 3.
I was a complete tear for trading them in in the first place.
Same with my original copy of Silent Hill 2.
My copy was mint and came with some post cards.
The copy I bought from eBay a couple of years later wasn’t in as good a condition and didn’t have the post cards.
Around the same time I traded GTA3, VC and Silent Hill 2 I also traded in my original copies of Resident Evil: Code Veronica X and Devil May Cry.
Another decision I regret.
I don’t get to play these older games as much as I’d like to, but having them and knowing I can play them is better than not having them and only having the option of remasters or ports.
Totally agree with you on that. Those games are pieces of history that you shouldn't get rid of unless you have to. I remember giving away my jungle green Nintendo 64 as a kid and I still regret it to this day lol. Ports and remasters are cool but IMO there is nothing like owning the original game for the original console it was designed for. Its like a time capsule that you get to keep. Can pass it on to your children or grand children later on in life.
