1y agoMan I loved Meteos. Back in the days I used to trade old games so that I could afford newer ones. In some cases I really regret doing so and I can't count the number of times that I have said I should have never sold this or that. But the thing is I just had to if I wanted to follow releases that were at least sort of new, as in one or two years old.
I sold Meteos alongside Another Code and Lost in blue. The latter was just okay but Another code was pretty good, and out of the three Meteos was the most special to me. Back then I actually started to earn a bit more money and I very much regretted selling it so I decided I would never sell a game again.
In a way I guess you could say Meteos is responsible for me starting an actual game collection.
