I was recently in Denver on vacation and picked up a few games at a local shop. I've been home for a couple of weeks now and finally got around to doing my normal cleaning and testing before I add the games to my shelf; One game wouldn't load after my initial cleaning so I decided to crack it open to get it a deeper cleaning, inside... there was a color dreams board.... someone swapped out the board on me... feels bad. It was a cheap game too, its not even worth me getting in contact with the shop to do anything about it. https://imgur.com/gallery/qdgQee9 |

Unless I'm wrong and it's one of your trusted online acquaintances. People who you do not know or at least PM your username and don't leave any details behind are dangerous in my opinion. Anything can be hacked, anything can be used to pull a prank, I even heard stories on YouTube of people storing illegal drugs in NES cartridges |

I talked with them for a bit and am fairly confident they are legit. Only information I've given him is my name and address, which is public information anyway. thanks for the heads up though! |

Oh, the drug thing is real- I remember when that story broke. The drugs in question, after being examined by the police, were determined to have been there a number of years. Either somebody forgot their stash or a weird smuggling setup had a game shake loose. Anyway- I'd contact the store. Not to get a refund or anything, but to tell them it happened so they can be more aware of board swaps in the future. |
