Hello All,

Not as active on here these days, but figured I'd come here with a hail mary...

If anyone has a SkyBlazer SNES box for sale that's in decent shape for a decent price, let me know!

I'm looking to spend around $90. There's one on eBay that's sunfaded a bit that I was offered $75 for but I declined, to be transparent.

Thanks!

Rerolling an Elden Ring character on PS5. Unfortunately on Thanksgiving night, my PS5 decided to basically die (it has since been revived) but I lost all my save data... so RIP my original character. I have a character on PC at Level 1 for my challenge run when the DLC drops, but I am eager to dive back in. I played at launch and haven't see many of the patches in action.

I forgot about this thread! I wasn't kidding when I said I dip in and out of this forum mentally these days. Well, since that review there's been a million others but I guess I'll share my most recent and try to stay up to date with anyone that cares to watch.
 

I was thinking about this the other day actually. I was super into the Game Boy, despite only have a... Super Game Boy as a kid. But I didn't really dip into GBC much at all. It's been a library that I've been meaning to look into a bit more in the future.

TMNT II NES Unboxing!
 

All turtles, no death runs in TMNT II
 

I wouldn't have a problem with them if it wasn't for the fact of them lying about refurbishing. The prices are terrible for system combos, but that's on the consumer for not doing enough research. But yeah, having dirty consoles that have not even been touched and claiming "refurbished" is AWFUL.

Check out my all bosses, NO DAMAGE, segmented boss rush of TMNT II: The Arcade Game on the NES!
 

I was rearranging stuff last night in my game room and I realized I haven't played a Switch game since Pokemon Sword. At least my wife & kid get decent use out of it. My backlog is ginormous. I remember buying Shin Megami Tensei V when it came out and haven't touched it. One of these days...

I keep forgetting about this forum and I wish I didn't. But, beat some stuff since January!

• An American Tail: Feivel Goes West (No Death)
• Pilotwings (First ever time beating it)
• Contra (Japanese version, translated with cut scenes)
• Final Fantasy VI with the Ted Woolsey's Uncensored Edition Patch
• TMNT II: The Arcade Game (No Death, I also did no death runs with all turtles)
• NHL 94 Sega Genesis, 7 game playoff mode, Anaheim Mighty Ducks Cup Run
• Illusion of Gaia

Recently beat TMNT II NES without Dying:
 

Also made a bunch of shorts regarding boss strategies! 

Upcoming: All bosses, no damaged (Segmented), a Longplay of no death runs with all 4 Turtles, an unboxing & a review!

Been ripping off Deathless runs in the last month or two, here's another:
 

BUMP! Plenty to trade, some money to spare, and would be willing to dip into my personal collection for trade if the deal is right.

BUMP!

Daily bump, see OP for want list & trade list!

I got real confused checking the other day, haha. Thanks for the clarification! 

In addition to my usual stuff (haven't updated this thread in a long while), I've been focusing more on "challenge runs". Mostly deathless stuff.

Playlist: 

I recently completed Batman, Castlevania & Contra (All NES) deathless in the last month.

Working on Little Nemo deathless next.

But, I also do a lot of other crap as noted in the thread title.

Enjoy!

MASSIVE BUMP!

I have completely changed my want list, see OP. I mostly want game boxes, occasionally, manuals, CIB, etc.

I have a trade list posted in OP as well.

If you have any of this stuff, send me a PM and let's see if we can work out a deal.

Please note though: If you have a million things available, I can't really buy or trade for everything I'm sure. But I figured it would be a bit better through here than eBay!

Damn, that's some high quality gaming right there.

I'll be interested to see what you think as you progress through Lufia. I didn't mind the first 10 hours of grinding, but when I hit the fifth or sixth dungeon that played exactly like previous ones with a different color pallette, I bounced. Sinistrals is heads and shoulders better.

I am definitely starting to sense some of the similar design elements throughout.

The grinding isn't bothering me per se, but it kind of is haha. I'm recording it for YouTube, so there's been a few spots where I'm like, "Yeah, I think I'm underleveled", then stop recording to grind a bit. Kind of digs into my gaming time, but such is the nature of a first playthrough of an old RPG. There's something about it, it's charming, although clearly limited.

Bump!

I found my Shining Force Battle Guide! Nestled into the video game magazine it originally came in. Got it off eBay for a good price. So the focus is shifted back towards the Great Greed box only for the Game Boy.

Trying to rip through Nioh remastered on the PS5 before Elden Ring drops. 3rd playthrough, such a great game.

I'm also doing a first ever playthrough of Lufia & The Fortress of Doom. I'm actually liking it a lot more than I thought it would. I heard that Rise of the Sinistrals is way better, but I'm getting lots of enjoyment out of L&TFOD.

New review! Shining Force III: Scenario 1.

What kind of issue?  I actually got that one for the first time in like 15 years a few months back locally, sticker was like brand new.  It was at a nice retail shop and they didn't ask retail(high) price on it either.   It's a very solid game.

Which one? Baseball Stars II? I noticed that there's lots of top label peeling and tearing, even when I was searching eBay.

For Batman, same type of thing, also lots of weird dark bleeding and/or fading in the yellow on the label in all my cases.

Batman Return of the Joker on the NES always has top label issues (I've had 3 copies, all 3 copies have had it).

I also have noticed Baseball Stars II on the NES has top label issues (I've had 2 copies).

Daily bump!
