Found a hidden gem of a game at a yard sale near my place

I was walking around my neighborhood last Saturday and stopped at a yard sale a few blocks over. In a box of old DVDs, I spotted a copy of 'ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove' for the Switch. I remembered hearing about it years ago but never tried it. For five bucks, I figured why not. My buddy came over that night and we gave it a shot, and honestly, we were hooked for like three hours straight. It's this weird, funky game where you play as aliens trying to find ship parts, and the co-op is just pure chaos in the best way. We were laughing so hard at some of the random stuff that happens. Has anyone else picked up a couch co-op game on a total whim that turned out to be amazing?

Is it really that deep though? You found a cheap game and had a fun night with a friend. That's a nice little win, but it's just a game. People get so hyped over finding "hidden gems" like it's some huge life event. It was five dollars and a few hours of laughs. That's a good Saturday, not a miracle.

What's wrong with getting excited about a small win? @wells.brooke might see it as just a game, but finding that kind of fun with a friend is getting pretty rare. Those few hours of pure fun are the whole point.
