Once upon a time I happily handed over $170 (plus shipping and import taxes) for a brand new copy of Ys: The Oath in Felghana for my trusty Windows XP machine. Does that sound like a lot? It certainly felt like a lot at the time, but I didn't regret my purchase. That was just what a rare, obscure, and never-to-be-translated (as we believed at the time) Japanese PC exclusive...
