6/10, better versions of console games of the era, and worse versions of PC games of the era. Gamecube and PS2 exclusives are way more interesting, which leaves the Xbox as just this sort of middle ground to play games you can play elsewhere. If you asked me to rattle off the most "Xbox" games I can think of... Halo, KOTOR, Ninja Gaiden, JSRF, PDO, Fable, PGR, Morrowind, GTA, Splinter Cell, Jade Empire, Psychonauts, Oddworld, Conker, Riddick. How many of those are just PC games? Half? With Gamecube or PS2 it would probably be zero. It had bad Japanese support and the Japanese make the best video games, so the fact that it even manages a 6/10 is a testament to at least how good the other games were. The Controller-S is amazing and led to the best controller designs of the modern era, so props for that. Having a standard hard drive was also a huge important innovation. It was also the first console to make you pay to use your own internet service which to this day is a joke, lol.

I've played so much Picross and 3D Picross. The DS has all the normal puzzle stuff and more I think. And yeah you could play Mario's Picross but it's better on DS.

/Vote OptOut, wait is this secret, wait does the game not start for a month how do I delete this

How do I vote off OptOut

I have no idea what's going on

OK kids, I've never done this forum game thing, but I'm in.

I asked a couple really deep Xbox collectors and both had no idea. I would be surprised if you found an English-language source about it. Could be Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Singapore LE, and rare in any case. Where did you get it?

This is awesome

I was once trying to a copy of Treasure Master on NES and for 2 months straight the same person bought the one I was about to buy. It was ridiculous and unacceptable.

Sweet Home is really popular and I don't think many people care about it in the movie sense, but I sure wouldn't say I'm completely in love with it because the random battles never end long after they become pointless. Chronicles of Riddick is the first movie game I remember people liking more than the movie, or in spite of the fact that it's a movie game.

10. I usually don’t like how 16-bit platforming feels. Characters often feel too big, platform edges are less defined, cartoony animations can be prioritized over responsiveness, etc. Mega Man X fucking rules. It feels better than the NES games.

Honest criticism here, you look like you have some graph paper designs and are trying to cash in on the current speculative craze. You’re using stock photos, have no pictures of your case design because it sounds like you don’t have solid plans for a case, and the fact that you only want to grade CIB NES to makes it seem like you have limited experience with video games, let alone sealed video games which are really what the market is crazy for. $94k seems like way too little money and flexible funding just makes it seem like you’re basically taking donations... to start a business. The “objective” scoring system is also pretty nonstandard for grading, it sounds like you’re grading on a 1-200 scale counting defects on a large rubric? I’ve heard grading described as science for near mint things and art for lower grade things. You can count the number of miniscule defects between a 9.4 and 9.6, but the difference between a 4.5 and 5.0 will be more subjective due to all the different types of damage. Also the last thing the world needs is more graded CIB games but that’s neither here nor there.

Wait you guys didn't just have a sibling so you had access to both copies of the game and played both games at the same time and traded all the Pokemon to yourself??

Lmao, it's priceless sorry.

I think $125 a little over a year ago IIRC and yes, it was a horrible deal. Pretty sure it was made fun of in the price thread here, which was totally justified and still may be. I was paying for convenience of not going through my saved searches to find a cheap white bullets cart, letter, and manual (is there a 'right' manual? I don't even know). Now people are selling the letter for like $100, so hey, my laziness worked out.

Do you have a TKG2 Donkey Kong board from that cab? Those alone I think are pretty sweet. I'm also perhaps a heathen who would've kept it converted, especially if it had the right PCB. Either is a cool piece of history though IMO.

Batman is a billionaire who gives zero fucks and dresses up as a furry and hangs out with a child. Adam West's portrayal is absolutely the most realistic. And that movie is awesome. If you came across Christian Bale Batman in real life you wouldn't like "Oh my god, I'm terrified", you'd wonder if there was some kind of furry or leather convention in town.

I bought this MTPO for the contents. The box was a victim of attempted murder. I bet if I put it on Ebay with "Wata ready" in the title, I could still sell it.

HG/SS, they’re the biggest 2D-perspective games and look amazing. Pokemon is just uglier in 3D, both the overworld and Pokemon themselves. Game Freak is not an ambitious or technically proficient developer, and they’ve never made 3D Pokemon look worthy of the world’s biggest franchise. Gen 1 is busted (psychic, etc.) but mostly it doesn’t win because there isn’t enough to do. Pokemon is like the easiest game of all time to blast through so it’s fun to hunt shinies, have a bigger Pokedex, find legendary Pokemon, breeding, Battle Frontier, etc. Gen 2 is almost strictly better and the remakes add so much quality of life stuff.

If this was the only gray MM ever found what are the chances the label on the one found would be completely wrecked in a way that makes it hard to determine if it was transposed?

That’s a program

I was doing exactly this but I was using a Google and site:bootgod. I trusted Google more than Bootgod. Shame on me.

I swapped my Grind Stormer PCB. Eff it. If it was like a $1000 game I'd probably just leave it dead and original. Virtually nothing with a battery is really worth anything as a collectible, so I'm fine swapping batteries when I play games too. Back swapping you can't really detect if the correct codes are used unless there's something I don't know. The repaired or shattered cart I've avoid either way, so do with it what you will. I'd just keep it shattered. It's hard to say anything you do to fix a collectible is improving the condition besides some cleaning I think.

OK IC wizards. I have these date codes from Famicom Box Donkey Kong and am trying to determine the format. Maybe YWW and the last digit is something else like a lot number? Other random Famicom Box PRG and CHR date codes (unsure what games): 7101 and 7301, 7401 and 7101. Also there’s a Golf with 8614 and 8704 which is easier to parse.

You were playing BBC Micro and Dragon 32 games until 2000 and you can't change my uninformed view of Europeans.
