Is eBay being hacked yet again, or just glitching, possibly? I can't make a purchase because apparently my PayPal has come unlinked from my account. Very odd.

I never linked my Paypal to Ebay. It sounded like the worst idea ever.

Classic Video Games / Re: Longest time you spent playing a video game?

« on: October 07, 2014, 12:09:11 pm »

Longest game session was 14 hours playing Starcraft: Brood War.
Longest time playing a game nearly daily was Diablo II. I played that for 8 years.

I would figure that the "correct" images to use for digital games is to use the images that the store fronts have on their sites.

Classic Video Games / Re: Daikatana

I object to there being a thread called Daikatana in the "Classic Video Games" section. I submit an official request that this topic be moved to the "Crappy Video Games" section.

You can't upgrade a laptop. Well, you can stick more RAM or a hard drive on it, but that's all you can do. Unless you buy a new system altogether you're stuck with that hardware profile.

That's not true. It depends on the make/model. Sure most are not upgradable but some are.

PC Games will want a decent NVidia card a possibly more ram.

Don't lump us all in together! Radeon all the way!

OP: post the make and model of your notebook. Some notebooks have replaceable video but not many. You may be SOL. RAM seems fine, but if you have a 64bit OS you can add more. I would look up the details on your notebook to determine what the memory limit is, before attempting to buy any for it.

Video Game Database Discussion / Style question - Genesis cardboard box re-release

« on: September 25, 2014, 04:44:03 pm »

I was just going through my collection and noticed my copy of Championship Pro-Am does not match the one pictured. The one I have is the re-release in the cardboard box. You can read about it here:
http://forum.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?143007-Genesis-rarities-and-variations-who-has-this-stuff

I searched and did not see any other of those cardboard box games in the database already, so I don't know how to add the item.

Bump this topic too (this was what I was originally looking for)

When I originally went through and added all the games into my collection, I did most of it from the browse view. When you do it this way, they are added as cart only (as opposed from the game entry where you can select what parts you have). So now I wanted to go through and edit my existing items to fill out if I have the box or manual (or add a note), but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this.

Bumping old topic because I've been thinking about this as well. Would make it easier when browsing my own collection. For example my Genesis collection is over 200 and going around through numbered pages just adds time. So this would be more of a convenience request.

Classic Video Games / Re: crappiest system you ever owned?

« on: September 19, 2014, 10:49:06 am »

The first thing that comes to mind is the Neo Geo Pocket Color. I think it is due to when I got it, which was recently. The lack of a back-light screen is what kills it for me. I know it can be modded to have one by using an Advance SP screen, but I don't want to go through that trouble. Now if I had gotten this when it came out, things might be different. For example, I liked the Gameboy when it was new, even though I also had a Game Gear. Concerning portables, only the Game Gear and Game Boy Advance SP (to a lesser extent, the Nomad but I don't use) are the ones for me. The original Gameboy is fine but it gets a pass because you can play the games on either the Advance SP or the Super GameBoy/Color add-on for SNES.

I'm not considering computers like the Timex Sinclair 1000, which I was trying to get for some time only to be disappointed by it and its capabilities once I got one.

Modern Video Games / Re: Elder Scrolls VI Announced, "Argonia" (Mod ed: FAKE)

Reminds me of my times on Battle.net, telling people for YEARS there was no Diablo 3. Well when the real Diablo 3 was announced to being worked on, I stopped playing Diablo 2.
