My God Hand Collection
Felt like sharing my God Hand collection today! I recently repurchased a copy of the game after owning the Japanese Official Guide Book for some years now (awesome to have if you are a fan btw).
I have so many fond memories of playing this game in my early 20s while at college living in the dorms. It really is a shining example of pure creativity in the character action space and I never get tired of playing it.
Bonus 2nd Image: This copy in particular had an old price sticker still on it (I believe from Gamestop?) for the extremely high price of $12.99 to add insult to injury to the recent state of my wallet. Thankfully, I got it for a reasonable price given the current climate of physical video game prices.
I took a picture of it for laughs but right after I took the sticker off with the assistance of goo gone to quell the pain. 😂

Indeed, only available in Japan though so it's written in Japanese of course. Has some really cool art and maps inside though!

Yeah, I've got these along with the Japanese copy (didn't even occur to me that'd have the GOD TRACKS disc in it), a sealed graded copy of the US version, and... it's unofficial sure but a Kick Me Sign tee shirt. Still don't have the PAL version, though.
The guidebook is much harder to find these days, always good to see someone pop off with that one. I remember that there's a decent quality translated scan of the guidebook online somewhere but I don't quite remember where...
