Having already replayed a number of my old PSOne games, i was pretty shocked when i open my copy of Silent Hill to discover fungus inside! Though the disc itself is still relatively fungus-free, the fungus on the back of the cover has already spread to parts of the cover of the manual. It's not a pretty sight, especially seeing the manual was in full-colour and contained some nice CGI of the characters but i guess that's what happen when your disc does not come in shrink-wrap.
No thanks to HMV, i ended up paying more than i did with any of my other PSOne games in my library for a platinum version with no shrink-wrap. I vividly remember HMV was having a buy two for 30 pounds promotion and i decide to pick up Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill, brand new platinum version that time probably the only time i ever paid so much for a PSOne game. It pains me to see it in such state now but i guess it can't be help because i did play Silent Hill extensively over the years and in the process, kept it exposed to all sorts of outside conditions. Funny i didn't notice the outbreak of fungus all this while until now when i dust it off for a replay in anticipation of the upcoming Shattered Memories.
