March 2016 - Recently Added to Collection/Recently Purchased

[thecrypticodor]

So I bought a fake copy of Duck Tales 2 for under $20 out of China both out of curiosity and knowing that I'll never shell out the kind of money that the real one goes for.




Aside from the label printed kind of funky, I'm actually surprised with the quality of the PCB with that it uses actual EPROM chips and not cheap glop top packages which is what I was expecting.

That knocked a big chuck out of the games left on the list.  8 left to go.  This shit is real.

what titles do you still need to complete the set?

Flintstones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak (Not ready to buy right now, unless it's a great deal)
Kickmaster
Overlord
Race America
Stadium Events  (Unless it's less than $100, I'm not buying it yet)
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Swamp Thing
Tecmo Cup Soccer

I wouldn't count Stadium Events as one you need for a complete collection, It's a Variation. It's the same game as World Class Track Meet. It just has a few graphic changes, different name and Label. Not worth what people are paying for it.
At least that's what I think. I do count Flintstones: Surprise at Dino Peak.
The only people who count it is those who own it and want to brag about it.

Preordered the Twilight Princess CE Guide from Gamestop online during their sale.  Went to go pick it up and they tell me they haven't received any guides.

Hopefully I can get another store to honor my preorder.

I'm about 90% sure I'm going to put a repro sticker on a World Class Track Meet as a placeholder.  Eff spending $8k on a game.

They called another store and they were going to hold the CE guide for me, but I had to explain that I preordered it at a specific price.  But maybe.

They called another store and they were going to hold the CE guide for me, but I had to explain that I preordered it at a specific price.  But maybe.

That's odd that they never received them, but maybe the weather has slowed down the delivery.  They got to my local Gamestop ok on release date, but I opted to get it from Amazon when they were selling them for $24.  They've never been great about release-day shipping anyway, but I haven't gotten my game yet, so no rush.

I got it during a sale a while back for $18.  Honestly, I think they sold my guide because they didn't think anyone preordered it.

Unfortunately, that happens from time to time. But yeah, hopefully they'll honor the price... I didn't know about the sale for it a while back!  I would've hopped on that had I known, ha.

It was a bunch of preorder guides b1g1 half off.  I preordered TP and Star Fox Zero CE guide.

[doafan]

If that works, or even if it has a few little problems, thats not a bad deal considering the condition it appears to be in.

It worked but as the seller said the screen is pretty damaged, was unable to see a good pixel so now I will have to request some assistance and see how can I revive this little fella, the memory has some music and was able to hear it without any problem

That or possibly the EU version. Its like 10% of the cost of the one here in the states.
