Classic Video Games / Re: Do you hate Greatest hits/Players choice games?

« on: August 15, 2016, 11:46:08 pm »

PS1 greatest hits games have really low quality discs that are more prone to damage.

Classic Video Games / PS1 or PS2 games that are cheaper from Japan than in North America?

« on: May 31, 2016, 01:03:38 am »

I recently got a Japanese PS2, and I've been looking for games that were released in North America but are way more affordable to import from Japan. I don't really want text heavy games because I can't read Japanese, but those might be interesting to know about too.

User retrogamer8048 just added a TON of games that are already in the database. Look at the recently added queue.

Classic Video Games / What is the third disc in the Japanese release of Metal Gear Solid?

« on: January 24, 2016, 11:17:52 pm »

Note: I am not talking about Metal Gear Solid Integral, which is an enhanced version of Metal Gear Solid that includes a VR Missions disc.

I have a Japanese copy of Metal Gear Solid but it's missing the manual and the third disc. What was on the third disc? Is it a demo disc or something? I have discs one and two, and the spine says that there should be three discs. There's also a spot for a third disc.

Site Feedback / Re: German rating (USK)?

« on: December 08, 2015, 09:40:21 am »

Im just wondering which rating should be used when you have a game like this http://vgcollect.com/item/89402.

In Europe more and more games get double ratings on them.

I would default to PEGI. Games with German language packaging should ideally be the only ones that get USK ratings assigned.

General / Re: Arcade Champ Billy Mitchell Takes "The Regular Show" To Court

« on: November 25, 2015, 08:19:17 am »

I've met him a couple times. He's a really cool guy. I bet he's not too fed up with getting thrown out of court, he seems like the kind of person who takes everything in stride.

He's nowhere near as much of an asshole as the movie made him look. He's just a snarky sarcastic type who can easily be edited into being the "bad guy."

This listing for "Metal Gear Solid V" straight-up shouldn't exist at all.

Fable: The Lost Chapters only exists in a Platinum Hits edition so the second one is redundant.

Hardware and Tech / My copy of SVC Chaos doesn't work in my Xbox.. and only my Xbox

« on: November 08, 2015, 02:40:31 pm »

So I bought a copy of SVC Chaos off of eBay, and my Xbox wouldn't recognize it. So I took a look at it and saw that it had some very light surface scratches. I took it to get it resurfaced, and now it looks good as new. But it still won't play in my Xbox.

However, I've tested it in other Xboxes, and it works perfectly fine. It seems like it's only my Xbox that's the issue. My Xbox plays all other discs I throw at it with no problem, and I've even run a lens cleaning disc through it to see if that would fix it, but no dice.

This is just weird. Why won't it work on my Xbox but it works on others?

Video Game Database Discussion / Burger King games: Xbox or Xbox 360?

« on: November 04, 2015, 12:30:23 pm »

The Burger King games that were released in 2006 were playable on both Xbox and Xbox 360. The discs actually have two separate versions of the games, it's not running a backwards compatible version.

Should these games be listed as Xbox games, Xbox 360 games, or get their own category?

Here's the listings on VGCollect already:

Big Bumpin

Xbox 360 - http://vgcollect.com/item/11184
Xbox - http://vgcollect.com/item/59765

Sneak King

Xbox 360 - http://vgcollect.com/item/11185
Xbox - http://vgcollect.com/item/59766

PocketBike Racer

Xbox 360 - http://vgcollect.com/item/11186
(No Xbox listing)

These are a pretty weird anomaly, because I can't think of any other games that had multiple platforms on the same cartridge or disc.
