MegaMan52 | 2,444 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Haven't seen @Nostalgic Machine in almost a year. I remember he made the Mega Man 2 is overrated topic on NintendoAge (which I appreciated) and we talked a little, but then he left, then came back, and then NintendoAge...well, you know. I know he joined Video Game Sage and remember him posting last year, but haven't seen him in quite a while. I also remember Bert/Nert and Loxx...didn't really get along with the latter on NintendoAge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would chat with him here and there in regard to comics and comic art (mostly through messages at NA and CGC). He popped into VGS earlier this year to ask a question, then he slipped back into the shadows…… He's pretty active in the art group on Facebook if you have that. 25 minutes ago, MegaMan52 said: Haven't seen @Nostalgic Machine in almost a year.

Bert/Nert is now Bort, and Loxx got banned from here pretty early on. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,903 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 There was also @GoldeneyeGamer. Looks like he joined in April last year and his last appearance on the site was almost a year ago in June. He seemed like a cool guy, and I think I might have traded with him a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I asked the same question back in October. I think primarily remember him because he had one of those Trade Up threads. He started with a cheap game and wanted to trade up to something super expensive. Maybe it was Stadium Events but I feel like it was for the SNES.

OptOut | 8,883 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 @CZroe very sorry to hear about the hardships you and you bro are facing! Genuine sympathies for both of you! I will always be grateful for the work you did for me on my two babies... I do my best to honour you by playing them both as often as I can! Here's to better fortune for you both moving forward, fuck 2020 AND 2021, eh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't even hang around the high end game collector groups on facebook anymore either. I think he's moved on to greener pastures for now.

I still don't know what they got out of it. A ruined website with frozen database? A tarnished web domain? I have no idea what the jewel was in that purchase. Or did they really want to buy the site and then run it on a new platform, thinking everybody would just go along with...whatever they had to offer (I honestly still don't know). This has me curious too if anyone has a guide to the various other forums in which people discuss classic games. I don't know anything about Facebook or other social media, but I hear lately about people making transactions on FB marketplace or elsewhere that are much more amenable than those seen on online marketplaces.

They said they wanted the information to help identify variants, understand populations/rarity of games, gaming trends, etc. Honestly I think the main thing they were after was Dain's entire physical game collection. From what I understand, NA was just tossed in on top of everything else as an after thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dain didnt want to have to deal with it anymore, he stopped caring about games and got really into running. Perfect clean break for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am doing something similar with Dragon Quest. Just nothing tied to the Famicom or Super Famicom eras, as my earliest pieces are GBC. And I also wish you luck. 1,053 licensed titles (I guess includes package variants) is not a small task to tackle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not but if you go at it with smaller goals i.e. publisher/developer collections it makes it seem not so overwhelming 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grading end of my collection went from me wondering what series to get next to wondering which of the remaining Dragon Quest titles I own should be graded. And I am finding that a feeling like that is far better than just collecting for the sake of collecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
