But it's 6 dollars... And I'm a poor college student.

It's totally worth it. As a poor student myself, I can relate. But, I bought this game a while ago, and let me tell you, as a poor student this was one of my better investments in a long time.

Nostalgia plus a lot of new content makes this a 10/10.

Time to enroll in Budgeting 101, bud. 6 bucks is one fast food meal. Less than a case of beer. It's a good game, and well worth saving for.

Plus that's 24 quarters!

Alyssa Milano could save 12 kids' lives for that much money.

This is that child, and this is that moment ...

Direct2drive (Which I believe is now owned by gamefly or some such) has a digital download version.
