I did a good deed today, for people who lik
I bicycled to my local Gamestop, and was browsing through the games on the shelves, drinking a tall caramel vanilla frapp, (those taste reallly good) and lo and behold, something caught my eye. On the shelf, inconspicuous to the passerby, was the sideways title, DARKSPACE. I looked it over, after pulling it out. There was only one. The description was pretty cool, the graphics on the box were too.
I couldn't believe it. I actually saw a retail version of DS, where I thought everyone got it from the internet, or the retail versions were sold in stores like those small unknown game stores. So, I moved some games around to put DS out in the open, and got a crappy 5$ game called Evil Genius, and covered up the EVE games. I doubt anyone's going to buy that game, and I hope I got one more person to DS, and/or 6 less people to EVE. 
But really, just how many retail versions of this game are being put out? The box looked really cool to me, and I think putting more out might increase playerbase..

I saw one a few months ago & seriously considered buying it just for the sake of having the box 
Gotta collection of game boxes dating back to about 95 in my closet...

I bought one a while back, just for sport.
I think the images on the back were taken in beta one day, and if I'm not mistaken, its my name you can see here and there talking.
My little bit of fame, I guess. hehe

Ah, I was looking to see who that was, but the print was just a red line 
So those are from Beta? No wonder. I was about to say, those didn't look like the modern DS...

I thought this game was pretty cool... until you beat it. Then it became repetitive whenever I went to play another game. :/
