My girlfriend has expressed an interest in trying out some of my more favorite games.

FF7 was the first one that came to mind. I've made her sit through me playing OoT and parts of earthbound and Z:LttP before. Since I don't own any type of playstation anymore, she's never seen FF7 before. I have it on the pc installed and cracked because it was a friends copy but I'm interested in picking up a copy for her.

I would prefer to get a playstation and FF7, because I believe that's the best way to play it. Unfortunatly I don't have the money for that so I'm going with the pc version as the next best solution.

The only place I checked is amazon, and it's going for $55 USED. I think that's effin' stupid, so I'm looking for someone to suggest a better place (I'm not super online-retailer savvy so I don't know who's reputable and where to find good prices). EITHER that or if someone has a copy they wanna sell for dirt cheap I may be interested and might even pay shipping if the price is right.

Any help?

High Res character patch for ff7 pc (replaces the dorky looking 8-poly models with high-res ones similiar to the battle models)

High Screen Res patch (allows you to play the pc version at a higher resolution)

Bear in mind both of those patches aren't official or 100% working yet. But are neat if you're a dork like me.

Pawn shops have playstations and FF7 for cheap cheap cheap

I've thought about checking the pawn-shops, too. Ideally, a package of a psx, mem card, and ff7 for about 30 bucks would be great. Then I could make her play games like ape escape and intelligent qube too (although IQ goes for like 50 bucks still)

I have it, and I would gladly sell it too you (PC version of course). I played it through the first 2 parts, and haven't played it since.

How much are you willing to part with it for?

Have you checked ebay?

That's the best one I found after half a second of searching.

If all else fails you could buy the Playstation version and use an emulator.

...come to think of it, I used to have it... where did it go?

That's odd because the PC game I have only has 4 disc's.. and I'm not missing one.

it's from singapore, not sure how trustworthy it is....especially if they're claiming 5 discs and I know for a fact also that it's only 4 for the pc version.

Also, get a PS1/2 to USB controller adapter. MUCH CHEAPER. I'd say extremely useful for classic gaming too.

Only a few bucks at radio shack or some such place. And if you get ePSXe, your gaming will be closer to the PS1 version, which is a good thing IMHO. Hate the MIDIs on the PC version.

And damnit, Chris, get on AIM once in a while.

There's a patch for the pc version that plays the midis using a codec that accuratly mimics the psx one just fyi. Definetly looking into a controller adapter as I'm planning on moving my classic gaming equipment to a dedicated emulation machine to save space.

Mine had 4 too... that was simply the cheapest one I saw on the first results page.

I have one. Lemme tell you, it's the only controller that I could ever see using to play the classic SNES/NES games.

Not to mention it says it's from EA .

EA published the pc version
that's why it's a crappy port that needs about 6 user-made mods to make it playable.
but my g/f wouldn't know the difference so it's no biggy.

Eidos made the PC version, but then I think EA bought them out.

you're right, my bad heh

I have the Eidos version.

That's the one I had.

I have he disk righ here, i's been in my lapop for a year.

I got it off ebay though. 30 bucks
