Why do I have two copies of "Crue Ball" ?

"Crue Ball"

I was going through my game collection today and noticed something strange.  Sometime in my life, between binge drinking, and failing High School, I decided it was important to purchase two copies of the Genesis game "Crue Ball".  "Crue Ball" is a pinball game based off 80's hair metal band Motley Crue.  Yes, Electronic Arts apparently felt that Motley Crue was so badass that they needed a pinball game, because what could be more metal than a...wait for it...PINBALL!

The good news is I'm not the first person to get something that came from Tommy Lee, the bad news is what am I going to do with two copies of "Crue Ball"?  I'm pretty sure putting "Crue Ball" in quotation marks is not even grammatically correct but I sure like doing it.  "Crue Ball".

    There's nothing better than 80's hair bands and pinball, well, except perhaps almost everything else I can think of.

    My uncle has a pinball machine that was designed for KISS. In all honesty, I'd choose the 'crue' over gene simmons anyday.

    However, my fav pinball is still the terminator 2 version. Too damn fun.

    Look on the bright side; there could have been a lot of other things you got from Tommy Lee: Tattoo advice, a black eye, even an STD.

    So, is the game any good?

    I did a quick look at it's value...$4.71. Well, it's worth more than Syndicate, so it's probably much more rare.

    Maybe you should E-Bay the least complete copy and keep the most complete one for your collection?

    Well, the question is...is Crue Ball so good that having two of them is justifable?
