The Clock Tower on US PS1 is in reality Clock Tower II.

I legit did not realize there was a Clock Tower before Clock Tower... but the PS1 Clock Tower is honestly pretty damn clunky/hard to play, I cannot imagine something from the 16 bit era holds up all that well unless it's one of those text adventure games.

I'm gonna wait a bit to see if I want to bundle Animal Well with Clocktower. I really wish the cover art for the standard edition was the boxes for the deluxe editions respectively. Wonder if they do that on purpose, make generic crap cover art for standards and something swanky for the DX versions.
 
There's maybe one game in that mess of a brain tumor inducing list that I would consider. Not going to say which one, but it's maybe $15 to $20 more on the aftermarket and I've resisted it for that reason. I saved myself a bookmark and set an alarm reminder.

As for the list, looking through even just standard editions (which wasn't just standard editions) it becomes clear really quick that their naming convention for games is asinine for a store. I don't know how I made it through all of those pages without going mad. Or maybe I am mad.

Just saw the blind boxes for the blowout sale and the estimated ship date for them is July 15- August 5.

Wtf? I thought the whole point of them moving the blowout sale to may was for them to “have everything in stock and ready to ship” unlike in past years where the blind boxes shipped 3 months later.

But it looks like they are doing the same thing anyway?

Same. Animal Well & Clocktower might pull me back into the LRG vortex as I've been out since Castlevania Advance. However I've really cut back on game spending as a whole this year besides from a few cheap 5 & 10 dollar Walmart clearance games, I think I've bought two (being Stellar Blade & Metroid Dread). With having belt tighen the belt on spending in across the board, having a huge backlog, the fact I keep on playing the same games over and over & I have no interest in 98% of what been released so far this year or in the seeable future. I've kind of broken the habit.

I have a little interest in picking up the Tomb Raider remasters but I'll probably just order it from Best Buy if I do. I just really don't want to deal with the hassle of LRG directly anymore & I don't know if Animal Well & Clocktower is enough to push me over that hump.
 
I'm gonna skip the nonsense and just pay a bit extra for someone to pick up games for me from the shop directly. Then I don't have to worry about the zerg rush to the shop. Not like I want anything rare, but just makes life easier.
 
Every time they have a blowout sale, they have Dariusburst CS PS4. Do they have an unlimited supply of it? Always at a very high price. Great game though.

I've got the cheap Inin NA Dariusburst EX+ which is enough Darius for me as its not my favorite SHMUP. SLG has pre-orders available still for Dariusburst CS Core at $30. Sounds like it might be more definitive, although Switch only.
 
That Walmart sale blew through most of my gaming spending so I forgot about this sale coming up. Really looking to grab NEX MACHINA (PS4). Doom 64 (Xbox) was lrg first Xbox game and I never got to play it as a lad.
 
This drip feed approach sucks. I feel like last year they just put a bunch of stuff up all at once. Anyone sitting around F5ing this site all day just to save 10 bucks off eBay is a sucker. Time to go do something else.
 
Well, this is what I got. Basically, games I missed the first time around for one reason or another.

- Spelunky (Vita)
- Teslagrad (Vita)
- Doom Eternal - Steelbook Edition (Switch)
- République: Anniversary Edition (PS4/VR)
- Gotta Protectors (Switch)

I'm shocked the Vita games hadn't sold so quick. Teslagrad is the PAL version, but I already have many PAL games, so no big deal. This version definitely has the better cover art.

Was able to get House in Fata Morgana, shocked it didn’t sell out in 5 seconds

Had that in my cart but I didn't check out since I was waiting for Deathwish Enforcers... but oddly not one single version of that game switched from "Buy Digital" so I wonder if it will still show up.
 
For those trying to use the website to load the list... just use the link posted here from scorponok:

It works.

The only thing I wanted from the sale for sure was TIny Metal Ultimate (which I grabbed a copy). I missed that the first time around and the aftermarket on that varies. There's one option only right now on ebay that is close to the same price (after adding tax). Beyond that there are only a few even in the US for sale. I played the long ago pulled demo (as I never deleted it) of Tiny Metal Hardcore Full Metal Rumble on switch last night just to remind myself if I was interested or not. Came away feeling like it's a good experience and since it's both games, might as well grab a copy to put along side my Advance Wars collection of games and War Groove.

Beyond that, was thinking maybe Double Dragon & Kunio-Kun Retro Brawler Bundle. Digital is the same price as physical (before tax & shipping), but I talked myself out of it because really the only games I want to play in that I'd just load up on my nes classic. I don't really care about the previously non-english versions of games in the collection.
 
I reviewed the list before the sale to see if there was anything I wanted. Glad I did because the site is broken.

I picked up Mythforce and Bloodroots for PS5.

House in Fata Morgana was on “buy digital” for a good 15 minutes so some still could show up
