For the most part, I find myself checking out eBay for prices. Most of the sites that offer pricing are getting at least some of their info from eBay, so I just look stuff up there and make the choice.

When has #7 not worked for people? I know on a NES cart there are times when the ink gets into the nooks and crannies of the texture, but after you've used the dry erase, rubbing alcohol gets the remainder pretty quickly.

Wonderful! I love it!

Too rich for my blood, but man both of those look incredible!

The best method for sharpies is a dry erase marker and some rubbing alcohol.

I will say this, there is an art to using magic eraser. On NES carts it really should be avoided or used very lightly. When you scrub, you lose the texture. But gently applying pressure in a specific area can produce better than good results. The real trick to cleaning any of your collection. Take your time. Everything will eventually come off, even stickers on stickers.

I really like a lot. A co-worker recommended it and played for about 8 hours total before I was looking for something else. Definitely a good game if you've a long flight or trip to take.

Good! Glad to you joined up!

Hi Fleck!

You know I've never had too much of a problem. I just gently go over it with the magic eraser (very wet) and the dirt comes off and the logo stays.

it's like #powerwashingporn!

A big part of why I love collecting is the hunt and the clean up after. I try to restore these banged up items without damaging them further. I take everything apart and put it back together again. Most of these I pick up from Craigslist, flea markets, & eBay, some people just don't take care of their stuff! Please share/post your 'before and after' restoration pics! Please share your go to tips for maintaining your collections!!

If true, its a bummer. I'd like to see the Scoreboard on multiple platforms. It was a really great and unique feature.

Welcome to VGS!

Welcome!

I think its his browser. The default browser on my phone also put it Dark mode. Dark mode is coming soon...

Fellow VGS'ers, We know that everyone is excited about VideoGameSage, and saddened about the path that NA took. But going back on NA and posting spam or shitting on NA is a bad idea. Its not what VGS is about, and quite frankly it makes us all look like a bunch of jerks. If you don't like NA anymore, thats fine. but changing your username to a profanity, or spamming NA on behalf of VGS is not okay. This is NOT an "us vs them" situation. The vision of NA changed, the admin/mods did everything we could to maintain that vision, and it just didn't work out. So VGS was born. We at VGS want to be a positive force in the gaming community. That should extend outside of VGS as well. Please have better "netiquette" (noun INFORMAL the correct or acceptable way of communicating on the Internet), when posting on NA. You're free to say what you think, but don't be the person just spamming. Thats not acceptable, and its not what we want VGS to be about. Use better judgement going forward please. Remember, we all share the same passion for gaming, so lets leave the negativity behind and make this the best place we can for all gamers!

You did Looks good!

Then you should rename it to just "Big Lists of Lists" since it won't be just your own content.

Ouch! I don't like seeing boxes like that! Those need replacing for collecting, but do just fine to protect the cart for gaming.

Was coming here to write this. Online Status and location would be a great edition.

Tough tough choices. Had to go with the original, its what I play the most. Still reminds me of the eighties

This is so exciting!

I'm loving what I see so far!
