I installed some really sweet mods for myself and a few other people, which I'm still enjoying to this day. I have 90% of everything I need for an ultimate Gamecube build, as well as a few uninstalled mods for the Saturn and N64 I never got around to installing.

You got me curious there! What kinds of mods are you doing to your consoles? And what would that Ultimate GameCube be?

I'm curious if a revised list will include a fourth mech game or if The Adventures of Batman & Robin is so good that it deserves two copies.

Ooooops…
Fixed! Haha

I’m cheating a little bit though, as I have plans to spend a few weeks in Brazil next year, so I’ll probably be getting most of those Master System and Mega Drive games pretty soon…

Favorite 2023 Release: Resident Evil 4 (not amazing, but I haven't played many games released this year)

Least Favorite 2023 Release: Marvel's Spider-Man (not for the reasons most people disliked it though...)

Favorite Game Played in 2023: Metal Gear Solid 3 (from the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1)

Least Favorite Game Played in 2023: GoldenEye 007 on the Switch (it's my favorite N64 game, but for some reason, playing it on the Switch didn't feel quite right for me... it desperately needs a new control scheme in order to be fully enjoyed on the new platforms... I also hate the fact that it wasn't released physically)

Sleeper Hit of 2023: Robocop: Rogue City (Only played a few minutes, but pretty good so far despite the PS3-era graphics)

Favorite Gaming Moment in 2023: Not a specific "moment" in itself, but I really enjoyed purchasing and playing a few awesome PC Engine shooters I had never tried before such as Gate of Thunder, Wings of Thunder (Lords of Thunder) and Gunhead (Blazing Lazers).

Proudest Collection Accomplishment of 2023: Metal Gear for the MSX (one of my most desired items!)

I was able to wait until my birthday to open the VGCollect Secret Santa gift.
Thank you so much, some amazing shooters!
Akai Katana Shin,
Psikyo Shooting Collection 1 & 2.
And amazing candies from Japan.

I'll play them a lot during the Christmas Vacation
Thank you Santa from Japan!

I'm glad you enjoyed the gifts!
I don't mean to brag, but that Akai Katana Shin Special Edition is pretty cool, heh? haha

I'm just trying to understand what's the relationship between you being a man and don't using the darn vibrator...

I’m (obviously) NOT masamune’s Secret Santa, but at least, this whole ordeal made me find out that the Xbox 360’s Asura’s Wrath is a somewhat sought after game in North America…Around here, it would be worth a ¥500 coin or less…
I understand it must be frustrating, but worst case scenario, I guess you could sell it and get something you really wanted.
That Game Gear cartridge seens pretty disappointing though…

Hardware and Tech / Re: Non black PS1 Disc?

« on: November 25, 2023, 07:24:35 pm »

remember that Gamestop as one such location and probably a ton of other places around the entire world, DO INDEED, burn fake copies of discs and somehow sometimes place a FAKE sticker on the top to make it look like to real copy of the disc.

Are you saying Gamestop manufactures and sells pirate games?

To those who are considering joining the gift opening event: what about December 8? It would be the start of the weekend for everyone, meaning anyone not based in the United States would have a better opportunity to join.

I usuall work from 08h00 to 16h30 (UTC +09:00) on weekdays, so 8th of December 21h00 UTC-05:00 (which would mean Saturday, 9th of December 11h00 here) works great for me!

For me, it's more about the time of the day than the date itself. Haha
At what time (of what time zone) are you guys thinking about doing the openings?
