Dragon Games

WARNING! What follows is an extremely geeky confession of a commited, life-long gamer.

Before moving from UK to Canada, I had accumulated an enormous collection of games. Before leaving, I sold quite a few, but I just cold not bear to sell some of my favourite PS2 games -there were far too many fond memories associated with them and a thought of permanently giving them up was painful.

Though I am sure could have easily gotten my hands on a chipped PS2 here to play them, I did not want to go thorugh the trouble or (admittedly unlikely) legal issues, nor did I want to haul them with me across the Atlantic, for even after selling 90% of my games there was quite a pile of them left.

Instead, I decided to let my friends have them. I kept the memeory card with all my saved games (for my old age I guess) and distributed the titles across Finland. So Silent Hill, Wild Arms, Dark Chronicle, Star Ocean and many, many other games were given to a bunch of miscellaneous Finnish gaming geeks for safekeeping.

Now after some time since I left, I keep getting emails from people playing them, and asking for advice on puzzles and tactics. It's been a long time since anything has made me as happy as hearing them telling about how much they have enjoyed playing them. Have fun with them friends, and remember me.
