Is there a game out there that you are searching for, especially in the form of a trade? Or did you finally get a game like that after a long pursuit? If you eventually found that game, how did it compare to the pursuit?
Here's why I'm asking: I'm writing an article about it for Unwinnable and would like to include other people's stories alongside my own. For ages, I was after a trade for Kirby Air Ride. I could have purchased a copy from some ebay seller fairly easily, but for some reason, I really wanted to get it by trading. That was probably wrapped up in my nostalgia for the N64 version of the game that never released, coupled with how I missed out on the Gamecube. A few years ago, however, I found myself with a Wii that would play GCN games and went looking for a copy. It took me ages to finally get a trade going for it. At this point, I probably enjoyed the pursuit even more than I do the actual game.
If you've got a story like that, drop it here and let me know if it's cool for me to reference it!
