Can you get a quality, mobile, high-end and highfalutin’ checkers rug at McDonalds?
I don’t think so.

Does anyone know how hot dogs survive in the wild without eyes or even legs? Or have they always just been domesticated?

As they have trained us to serve their whims, might it be more apt to call them "hot cats"?

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
--S. Huntington

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I got Link to the Past on GBA. I think it's selling for around $20, but be careful if you want to buy it because a lot of them currently for sale are reproductions, or less generously fakes.

I meant a Link to the Past. My bad! How's the GBA version?

Pretty good as I recall. Can't be certain about the differences with the SNES version, but from what I know there are a few enhancements here and there. As with the Super Mario Advance games, they added vocal clips for Link, for example.

There's also a multiplayer game included on the cartridge called Four Swords, but I never got far because I don't have a link cable.

You're welcome. I actually fell for one the first time I bought it, although to be fair the seller did say it was a reproduction but they just didn't make it very clear. Thankfully I managed to get the genuine copy soon afterwards.

A good chunk of my game collection consists of GBx rereleases of older games. With a few notable exceptions, they're generally good ports.
