10 yard fight with no label for $1.50 for our reproduction project.

Edit: wrote this too soon, hubby ended up picking up a 23 game nes lot for under $100. Just carts, nothing rare but a good pick up none the less

So a pretty good deal going on, but it gets better! If you go through a cashback site (like splender, topcashback) you can get 4-5% back off your total purchase.

Gamestop.com then scroll to the bottom and its on the left hand side

DIY bookcases or built into the wall work well for those games

Sounds like a plan to us, we started adding some things. Thanks for the welcome desocietas! You guys have a very nice site going on here.


By the way, Nintendo 64DD [JP] has all barcodes and item numbers added! Hopefully they are all correct

General / Re: How do you feel about reprints?

« on: February 24, 2017, 01:18:07 pm »

ehhh I struggle with it a lot, I know not everyone is into emulation but with todays technology you can virtually play anything pre sega saturn with 0 issues or next to 0 issues. It is especially annoying trying to find the original only to find a slew of reprints. Example, mini nes, lots of ebay sellers are listing it as original nintendo so if you are looking for a boxed original nintendo you will find a load of mini nes.

Kinda on the same topic here but one of the reasons why we don't really collect original nintendo games. too many reprints/reproductions/switching pcb boards/etc. I'm not about to drop a few hundred on ducktales 2 only to find its a reproduction.

Classic Video Games / Re: What failed 90s console do you think had the most potential?

^ If you read about the history of the Neo Geo, it really didn't fail, though. SNK knew they weren't gonna be "the" mainstream console. And they said as much. They said it was catering to a niche market that could afford such an expensive high-end machine. And to that end, it was a success. It's lifespan even lasted a whopping 14 years, from 1990 to 2004.

hm that is interesting, I had no idea they were trying to fill that niche.

sorry to bring up a dead thread but to add to the convo...

Besides the common replies (I always felt sega was a step or 2 ahead of nintendo and could have made some insane moves if they took their time)

The one 90s console that I think had the most potential would be the neo geo. Right around the time arcades were huge, you could play games from the arcade at your house. Outside of the "Big 4" (nintendo, microsoft, sony, sega) I think the neo geo was one of the most under-rated systems out there
