Yep! I have Big Bumpin' in my collection, got it for free after I was specifically requesting a retro game shop owner if he had any of the three Burger King games in stock. He was actually surprised that someone was actually looking for these games, and he opened a drawer, and handed me a copy of Big Bumpin'. Dude threw it in as a bonus game and only made us pay for Watch Dogs: Legion. He was the nicest and coolest retro shop owner I have ever met. A few months before he gave me that for free, he gave my sister some free PlayStation headphones and stated that he wasn't sure if they were working or not. And guess what? It worked. Flawlessly.

Dude is still around, still kicking ass at that retro game store even to this day.
