Plenty of people need a job though, "why bother?" seems to be the current mentality. That'd be the optimal situation yeah, I only have the MAME extras and I don't really use them so I'm not sure if the demos are just the attract (which I doubt) or actual gameplay bits.

Probably doesn't work in the current climate, hard to preach peace with a large standing army. It'd probably be better for society if mandatory service was still a thing, despite my protestations if I was younger ;)

Using your smartphone whilst moving on your bike is illegal over here, works quite well in the cities as cops can easily fine people. Obviously not so much in smaller cities and villages, there's barely any cops to fine anyone. Listening to music is debateable to me, highly depends on volume and type of headphone/plug you use. If it's smaller in-ear plugs, fine you'll hear pretty much all of the cars (except EVs, but you wouldn't hear them anyway). Those over-ear headphones shouldn't be allowed. pretty much "relevant" in the mid 80s to early 90s and even then at the time mostly unrecognized for what little they did, so not that surprising. Figured as much, makes sense if you operate in both countries. It'll probably move again, I know better than to check every 3 hours but I can't help myself either. The CD just got shipped from the mercari seller to the warehouse, so with a bit of luck I'll be able to pick shipping very late (or early) tonight or tomorrow.

I had that with an Alicesoft 3rd party drama disc and either prices weren't really worth it. One of them being 3000 yen and the other 6000, they were up at the same time mind you and the full package is just a jewel case with booklet and CD. Both had that. Atleast with eBay people tend to check market trends (even though that can go horribly wrong as well, see retro games). Store exclusive pre-order bonuses suck. Didn't expect Japan to go that far but after, but the more you deal with the JP market the less it surprises you. I guess it's the same idea as selling game boxes, it's for collectors who are missing the item especially if it's store exclusive. That does seem pretty shit. I actually had the perfect testcase when it comes to import tax, had a combined package with an item worth of ~€21,50, so if any other fee got added I'd have to pay import tax. It went through customs and I had to pay nothing extra. PostNL says as much, but they are hard to believe.

Probably 30 years of Alicesoft in general? You'd assume they'd have that before the 30 years of Rance, considering the entire series was released under the Alicesoft brand so they existed before that release.
