[quote name='coolbrys']Whenever I see these topics I get a sad feeling in my stomach... I know it is a tad off topic but it is answering the question, with a little venting from me along with it...
I live in Redding, CA. Since it is a city that is not well known, I will say that Redding houses one of the best companies known in the gaming industry - Working Designs. Having a direct link to Victor Ireland himself (my father is a voice in Magic Knight Rayearth for the Saturn), I recieved LUNAR 1 for free. After experiencing the wonders of it on my neighbor's PS1, I purchased one as well. My neighbor became obsessed with the game. I found that the cardboard LUNAR box was missing, then the map, then the cool instruction booklet. Thankfully, I never lost the game.
When I discovered that LUNAR 2 was out, I just had to buy it. Going down to TRU with enough money, I snagged the last sealed copy in Redding and proceeded to complete the game, almost 100%, within a few days (yes, DAYS... well, up to 2 weeks). However, my mom decided to take away my PS1 a little after that. Once I get it back.... LUNAR 2 is no where to be found. It pissed me off to no end, seeing 50 dollars (this was when I was early into 8th grade) just vanish. I don't suspect my friend, even when I see he has a copy of the game (he promised his friend let him borrow it). Unfortunately and very unluckly, we get into a huge problem (cops and stuff... different story and unrelated) and I never have a chance of seeing the game again... or do I?
Around last year, I got the courage to confront him about it head on... and I was rewarded with result. Apparently, my brother had "let him borrow it" (yeah right) and he just never could get it back to me. I go over and... he shaq-fuing lost the shaq-fuing second disk to the freaking game!!!!! Now I have a cracked LUNAR 2 case, instruction booklet gone (same stuff that happened to the LUNAR 1 game, only missing a disk). I now have 5 game disks for 2 LUNAR games, scratched up (still work though) and broken cases (keep in mind, he DID do this... I try my best to keep my games in pristine condition). I just wish I could have it all back... but being myself, I can never re-buy a game (just makes me feel stupid) and... yeah.
Anyways, buy the games, you'll have so much fun... I can honestly say that that game was the sole game to get me fully into RPGs and farther into gaming then I could have ever imagined... I was young, yes, but it helped me imagine, believe, and hopefully achieve.

Your dad wouldn't happen to have a copy of Rayearth would he? Becuase I would be mighty interested in snagging myself a copy...
Sad story too. My friends have never laid one finger on the awesomeness that is the Lunars.
