WZ for PS

Post by JimmyJumpUp »

I am and have been looking for a copy of WZ that plays on the old PlayStation. I have a PS 2 but it will still play the older games.

Anybody know where I can find one? I havent had much luck.

Curious - can you back that up objectively ? Policies, vetting of sellers, tit for tat, etc...

Thanks Whip. Found them.

Guess I took my brain out to play with it and forgot to put it back.

im talking price,$95 for a ps1 game, no matter the quality of the game, is a bit of a rip.

I agree but that was just one vendor out of 29 vendors - the rest being mostly good deals by any measure. As such, Ebay is
just an alternative marketplace. I've done business with both since they came into existence.

Honestly....I myself don't get the whole "Collectible" mentality (as the $95 buck copy was being sold as). But live and let live.
If peeps wanna pay $1000 dollars + for a first edition Dickens, I'm happy to read and own an edition that costs one dollar. As
I'm very happy to feast my eyes on a Monet original in a museum that sells for forty million and simply have a 10 dollar poster
of it on my wall to enrich my day to day aesthetic sensibilities. 'Course having forty million bucks would be nice too but the point
is my enjoyment of any work of art is not contingent on being able to collect originals...

I remember I got my copy before it was released back in 99. Best value for a game ever. :) Although I hate to gloat.

It was probably the best RTS you could get for the PlayStation. The controls easily suited the console and I wonder if any other games used it as an example.

Warzone to my knowledge is the best RTS for a console, the UI just worked for the PlayStation and it never felt awkward or stiff or anything like that. No other Console RTS seemed to pull it off, although Red Alert 3 didn't do too badly.
