I think I may even cough up the $10 for it once I get done with the trial runs.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we just need are new ports of Arashi, Crystal Quest, Shufflepuck Cafe (remember the opponent who&#8217;d get drunk as he lost?) and Airborn (Hopefully I can find links to old pages with pictures of these).
