The End of an Era !!!

I finally decided to try and get rid of all my old Playstation 1 and Playstation 2 games.  Yes, I am a child at heart really.  I love all kinds of video games (as they were called years ago).  I grew up with Pac-Man and Space Invaders.  And when I say 'Space Invaders' I really do mean the proper, original version.  I don't just mean a game with space-crafts that fire bullets at you to try and destroy you.  I mean 'Space Invaders'.  There is only one.  The original.  Anyway, back to my games.  I have put most of my games on Ebay as it was free listing weekend last weekend.  It was either that or these same games will sit in the cupboard for another five years or more and then I will be lucky to get 10p each for any of them.  I thought I might just get a couple of quid each for these games but it appears there is a bit of a call for the Crash Bandicoot games. 


I thought I'd sold them the other night but after I took a PayPal payment for £22.50 for all five PS1 Crash games and a Resident Evil Survivor game, I noticed other people were bidding for the Crash games and were up to £26.00 just for them.  I refunded the man I'd 'sold' them to and apologised profusely and then put them back on Ebay for sale.  I've now had a bid for all five Crash PS1 games and also a bid for all five Crash PS2 games.  This is just the start.  I think the bidding will continue when the items get closer to ending.


I will miss Crash Bandicoot.  He has kept me busy on many a cold and wet night.  Boredom sets in and Crash Bandicoot comes out.  Although saying that, I've not been as much into video games for the last few years due to the fact I bought this silly thing called a computer.  It uses up too much of my time. 

Yahoo Messenger was addictive enough to chat to people, then they go and invent Facebook.  That really sucks the life out of me.  Anyway, I just thought I'd say goodbye to Crash Bandicoot via my blog.  I must go now as I have people to stalk, umm, I mean look up on Facebook.
