General / Do Cheap Priced, Fake Games That Seem To Work/Play Matter To You?

« on: November 24, 2018, 10:11:56 pm »

I don't agree with people who bootleg anything and sell it for anything, or have their own versions, and sell it as the original version

Some collectors actually open up cartridges to see if they are fakes but I never done that, I really don't want fake or video games or CD's in my collection. but opening a game up and, looking at the cartridge board is not my thing. I don't understand everything about computer chips , and I'm sure some people who bought a fake video game actually find out too late. and some may have even purposely sold or re-sold a fake or threw it away

How do the average people these days, handle fakes? I am sure some of us may have sold fakes to others, hopefully not on purpose.

(the main question)
Main question is, if you try a video game and it works and if it's a fake? Is there any chance the game will lock up or freeze somewhere in on down the line? as you progress through the game?

I do know that certain fakes have misaligned cover art but some people can hide a fake completely un-noticed, or swap a game

Classic Video Games / Re: Best point and click adventure games?

« on: November 24, 2018, 07:05:37 pm »

(BUMPED ON 11/24/2018) almost 4 years later

I used to enjoy Police Quest IV/4 and Police Quest V/5.

None seem to talk about any of the "Police Quest" Series on the PC. I can tell you I really liked the 4th one, but my disc was scratched and I never finished Police Quest IV because of it.  In Police Quest 4 you walk around as a crime scene investigator  clicking on everything waiting if what you click on would actually trigger an event. It's got some RPG elements where you occasionally meet and talk to people, but I think if you do the wrong thing "just like in all Police Quest series games for PC" you get Game Over events and forces you to start over to the beginning of the game.

Police Quest 5 is a SWAT simulator, with vary strict rules and stupid random deaths. With cut scenes that make absolute NO scene as the game goes on, sometimes if you shoot a wall or use a wrong object in any of the missions somehow you die, or someone else dies and you get game over though. I remember shooting any random wall and all of a sudden I killed an elder women in a living room. but the cut scene made no scene at all to me because if you do the right thing the women is actually in the bathroom not the living room . It comes with a HUGE manual. If you don't read it you won't know how To play. Police Quest 5 is being a SWAT simulator. you will need real life proper procedure in everything you do. or else you have to start from the beginning

Off Topic / Re: Old Devices You Would Get Again...

Most portable CD players don't hold up well these days, the batteries ware out quickly and if that don't bother you, to replace batteries all the time, then the laser will die out. And, you will need a new one in my experience

All PlayStation 3's let you rip songs to the internal hard drive and then you can use a PS Vita to connect with your PlayStation 3 and then carry your songs over to where ever you go. I think

But SONY closed their music server so you can no longer receive, the CD album title, or the Track name and artist information from the internet connection, any more.  You now must type in the CD information yourself on the PlayStation 3 now

But A PC with a sound card beats my PS3 any day



Ipod  8 gig Nanos in my experience hold up a long time especially when you had them new. But, Ipod Nano are not good for gaming. Because the battery will need recharging right away after you play a game. But you can listen to music for hours on most Ipod Nanos and the battery will not need a recharge right away.

The downside with the Ipods, IPhone and MP3 players is that you also need a PC with music on it so you can actually place the music on the portable device itself

Off Topic / Re: Is it wrong of me to want an Apple TV 4K?

« on: November 23, 2018, 06:54:34 pm »

No, it's your life live it how you want man. there is no evil in owning or wanting an Apple TV 4k 
 just sit back and enjoy your life man

I also agree with @dashv

apple had it bad for a while I heard, but I never had issues with my Nano Ipod, when I had it.

If you're unsure than read the product reviews about the Apple TV 4K before buying

Classic Video Games / Re: What Is The Highest Price You'll Pay For Generation 2 Video Game (not selling)

« on: November 23, 2018, 06:28:19 pm »

If I did pick up a Generation 2 console that actually worked, I would most definite would like to own any Generation 2 console video game that didn't come of these three compilations I love to talk about. Including all of the generation 6 Past Arcade games too.

Believe it or not I grew up in the 1990's being born in the late 1980's. But I like to discover old games before my time, and anything 7th Generation and down to the 2nd Generations


(note)
For any one interested in cheaply emulating the Generation 2 consoles has many options, to get some of the more expensive and popular generation 2 games, on a Generation 6 console. I own all  and I agree that these three are a bargain for the old fix

Recommended generation 2 games for the 6 generation consoles

Atari Anthology PS2

Activision Anthology PS2

Intellivision Lives PS2

Classic Video Games / What Is The Highest Price You'll Pay For Generation 2 Video Game (not selling)

« on: November 23, 2018, 12:54:23 am »

This is a thread about game prices of consoles of the 2nd video game generation on that existed before the NES aka "Nintendo Entertainment System"

If you were going to buy an old generation 2 video game, for a generation 2 console. What is the most you would pay regarding if you wanted it? let say it was a game that you already knew about or had good memories of this game. Or your ever looking to get more games for your collection period, like I do most times.

Atari 2600 or Intellivision, or Colecovision are exmples of the generation 2 consoles

Me? $10 if I knew it was actually good and, $5 would be the highest for if I never heard of the game before.

(wine portion)
Some of You guys are lucky and should be thankful you don't go through mental fatigue, loss of focus, or pain when you play your video games. If my mind was not always racing I could concentrate but I can't really enjoy too many video games because of my brain condition. I love video games and I am not a loser to every video game. but

I still have fun only when a game when games have no lag in the button responses. Or if I can play the game with no headache or loss of focus.

thoughts?.

Don't mind the wine portion, I am also asking if anyone else is having the same mental issues as myself.

I'm seeing a distinct lack of any wine discussion in your post despite you listing a wine portion.

Where's the discussion for Chardonnay? Merlot? Pinot Noir? Would it be better to have Sauvignon blanc or Cabernet sauvignon?

Do you prefer a nicely chilled Chianti imported from the Tuscany region of Italy or are you more suburban housewife and don't have a problem with your Franzia Sangria "wine" coming in a cardboard box?

Sorry if this comes across as whining. 


As for your actual topic...I kinda understand what you're going through? I hooked up my NES/SNES Classic systems up to my TV and the input lag I was getting at times was aggravating me to where I couldn't keep playing. I thought it might be because I was using wireless controllers but I was having the same input lag with the wired controllers on the NES Classic. I was half tempted to unearth the old NES and games to see but then my care level for doing that dropped as well. 

I can't relate to experiencing any kind of pain though so sorry you have to deal with that. 

Sorry for this

Sorry but I don't think we have any code crackers on this forum. But anything electrical can be either hacked or programmed in some way like you said. But I think that would be against the law to do what you're asking for. Maybe someone else will respond to this but I am not a console programmer, or hacker, and I don't know any console programmers or hackers on this forum.

General / Did You Ever Play, Or Try Any Casino, Mind or Video Board Games? Thoughts?

« on: November 19, 2018, 12:14:38 am »

We all probably have some of these games if we own a large collection of video game Compilations or  have any "AtGames Flashback Consoles" with the games built into the console itself.

What is some of your thoughts on these three genres, You may have some of these video games in your collection, and I wounder do you ever try these kinds of games? or do you just ignore them when you see them? When it comes to board game video games many people will say Mario Party is great. But has any of you ever try a relaxing game of checkers or chess? I did before! against the computer or maybe you played them with someone special like a friend of family member for example?

Casino games I sometimes try these but get board vary fast. Mind games are the same for me. But I do like to play Jeopardy  in the high school classroom on that Jeopardy game console my English teacher would set up for us student to have fun and play. She made all the topics and answers herself. Class would get into groups and she would operate the console and we had the wireless remotes.

glad to hear that 4th generation aka the 16bit generation is declining in price. Especially the SNES games. I remember buying Super Battleship for the Super Nintendo console this year for $4 to come to think of it

Classic Video Games / Re: Pat the NES punk controversy. Thoughts on Pat's "gamers are entitled" remarks?

« on: November 17, 2018, 11:24:26 pm »

PARTIAL QUOTE FROM @MARVELVSCAPCOM2

Hello everyone


To keep it short and to the point for those who aren't caught up on everything.


1. Diablo Immortal (mobile diablo) gets announced. Everyone rages about it because they didn't like it.
2. Pat the NES punk refers to those getting upset about it as cry babies and claims gamers are entitled.
3. PewDiePie (70 million subscribers) picks up the story, essentially giving Pat (250k subs) the ermac fatality. Just off his sheer fanbase scale.  Now all his fans are ravaging Pat's channel with dislikes and unsubs.
4.  Everyone hates Pat now.

To stem beyond that a lot of people don't like Pat to begin with,  they say he did his pawn stars thing and only went on there to flex his NWC gold and grey carts and that he is very mean to his friend Ian sometimes and really just jumps into topics he doesn't know much about to give half assed opinions and has a fake superficial personality. 

OLDGAMERZ REPLY

I am not too sure what happened. But this looks like a classic case of the bigger guy "Pew Dew Pie" taking advantage of the smaller guy on the internet. of "Pat The NES Punk's" mistake. I don't watch much YouTube anymore or lately. BUT

But one thing you have to consider is sometimes being famous in the world today, does a lot of inflation to the average persons ego. It is vary easy to get a high ego and think you're God, when you're famous. but sometimes we all need to come back to reality and consider what made us famous, and that answer involves the people we're trying to impress. and the fact is if you say something blankly and with an inflated ego you could upset your fans. and you could end up back to where you started. I'd say, Consider where you once were before you were famous, and try to regroup and humble your ego. it happens to the best of us.

both were wrong in my own opinion

Modern Video Games / Re: What is the best open world game ever made? (Red Dead Redemption 2 Discussion)

« on: November 17, 2018, 06:48:00 pm »

There is a lot of open world video games out there, but for some, the older ones still are just as fun as the new. I mean whoa there a heck of a lot of open world games out there today But I am also including games like Donkey Kong 64, Mario 64, Spiro The Dragon Series, Pokemon Series, and nearly every RPG ever made. I do consider some of the 3D platformers open world games too at least to some extent, right?

« on: November 17, 2018, 06:34:15 pm »

Some of mine are not already listed above and I am not proud with any of these things, but times used to be harsh for me.

1: Left CD's out of their cases on nearly all my PC games growing up and they got scratched to the point of useless.

2: a complete stranger let me Borrow 2 GBA games and she said she wanted them back. But months seemed to go by and I moved and she was never seen again be me.

and 2 years later I gave the 2 GBA games away but I forgot temporarily that a stranger loan those games to me. She never returned or bothered to contact me to return the games, and I never saw her again ever.  I hope she is not mad at me, but she never tried as far as I know to get them back. I was living at a run down group home shelter at this time in my life. One of the games was Sonic the hedgehog and I forgot what the other one was

3: Sold a dirty, barely working N64 console with 4 Nintendo brand controllers and a bunch of sports titles to someone who didn't really want it for $20. I bought food with the money and convinced the man that even if the console didn't work for him he could always sell the 4 controllers and games for at least 2 times as much then the $20 he gave me for it on the internet
