The only thing that I'm missing is the guide book my brother and I would read all the time. I can't believe it has been 25 years since this great adventure came into my life.

How would you feel if Konami just dropped an HD Remake of Symphony of the Night?

Had a weird thought about me just streaming me working on my game collection spreadsheet. It could be entertaining but you would have to really like looking at an excel sheet for hours.
