Clean every game I get as I get it and test it immediately after. Don’t understand waiting. What happens if you wait to only find out you have a fake game or it doesn’t work? You may screw yourselves out of a return window doing that.

I quit their pro membership when they got rid of the preowned discount. I think Ive made a handful of purchases since then. And that was only when they did B2GO on Switch games, which they conveniently left out of the deal this year. Sometimes Im surprised they still exist

Or just do what every other retailer started doing years ago and just put those plastic anti theft boxes on the games. Seems like such simple solutions but obviously it doesn’t affect their bottom line to hear these complaints, so they don’t care

Not that I don’t sympathize, but this is a widely known thing. They sell the display copies as “new”

Well that's kind of my point in that I always saw it as Cart, INSTRUCTIONS, Box, not Inserts, which would exclude all but the manual Edit: and double checking their glossary they state CIB = Complete In Box but provide the definition: "A game state that includes the original box/case, cartridge/disc, and Manual" Which already contradicts the definition of "Complete" I honestly don't care what/how they define it. I just find it interesting

With all the Repro talk Im surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention the CIB definition. The call it Complete In Box while basically using the Cart Instructions Box version of the definition. I’ve always considered it Cart, Ins, Box myself, but if your one to go with Complete In Box then there definition is flawed as it doesn’t include the inserts and other stuff

Magus hasn’t logged on over a year, I would imagine he is not connected to it anymore. Or he got really tired of people giving him shit because of the company he worked for

I see why I never saw them, I generally don’t look in the homebrew section so never came across them

Only ones Ive ever seen are in the first group. Sooo I picked A Bugs Life

Cant believe I missed this thread, Im glad to see there ate still people excited for these releases. It seemed like not many people cared anymore but clearly I was wrong. I love these christmas games and have been getting them every year since 2011. Got to keep the tradition alive Edit: After watching the gameplay I do kinda wish the Super Mario Bros. Xmas Rekringled rom was used as a base. It would have been more season appropriate with the snow and throwing snow balls instead of fire balls

Oh shit! thanks

The hype on these seemed to have died on these a number of years ago. I never see anyone mention them anymore really, probably since NA went under. But for anyone that still gets excited for them (I do) the 2022 edition is live https://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?cPath=30&products_id=171&osCsid=c532027020a09f6121cd2047dc06e380

I haven’t noticed any real drop in the things I keep an eye on. I wish I did, but the stuff I watch might be too niche maybe? I don’t know

Real sad. He was my first childhood hero. The Green Ranger was THE shit as a kid. RIP

Im glad they redesigned it. I prefer what we got in the US. The international version looks like a Fischer Price toy to me

Cybertiger done

It is not. I didn't think about that.

This is driving me nuts. I can’t get this to work. I have Jer’ell in Colony 6, I have glyph thing, I have the skills related to trading unlocked. When I got to trade with her, she doesn’t have Love Source listed as a trade-able item. What am I doing wrong here?

What is brushed/brushing?

Thank you for the list! I wouldn’t have even started down this road without it. As a general statement anyone going for these and is looking for N64 specifically needs to pay pretty close attention. A number of the have both a Playstation, PC, Dreamcast, PS2, and N64 versions. Sometimes they’re combined into one guide, a lot of times not. For Instance Quake 2 from Prima has two versions. The one for the N64 has a specific cover. I learned this the hard way with Hexen as I ended up with a PC guide. Luckily it wad cheap and one of my first guide purchases so I learned early to look at more details for the rest. @acidjaguarif you ever want to add pictures, and don’t have the guides yourself, pm me and I’ll provide what I can

Maybe it’s just me, but does it seem like it’s been slowing down on here? It doesn’t seem like there is as much activity the past few months. Im noticing a lit of the same names responding to most threads, which isn’t a bad thing but I feel like I use to see more names that I never saw before or were more uncommon people to pop up. Are there a ton of people lurking and not posting? or has the mass truly moved on/ to social media formats instead? Also related, some people that were on here seem to have also disappeared. I can’t seem to find the “where is X thread” but what happen to @Lincolnand @BouncekDeLemos? Have not seen them pop up in a long time.

Ive seen that guide, but it only shows the Playstation logo. There are a handful Ive seen like that on your list. Ones, that don’t to seem to be covering N64, only Playstation. Ive only been interested in ones that list N64 as a covered console, even if the guide would work fine for the game regardless. From your list these seem to only call out Playstation and not N64 on their cover somewhere: Ready to Rumble Boxing Round 2 (Prima) Resident Evil 2 (Prima) Xena Warrior Princess: Talisman of Fate (doesn't exist? Playstation game has different game or at least different title) Gex 3 (Millennium) I could totally be wrong as I was with War Gods here. But I just haven’t seen any pictures of any of these where they list N64 as a covered console and Ive been looking for a long while now. If you have them with that info I would definitely like to see it so I know if Im missing it or know where to look on the book to see it somewhere. On a different note. In your Prima section I think you may be missing a variant for Mortal Kombat Trilogy. There is a “Secrets of the Game” cover and a standard Prima cover. Separate from the Kompanion

Very true, there is a lot of extra stuff when I searched the way I do

I have a pretty big guide collection for N64 specifically. In terms of purchasing resources its been ebay and amazon. In terms of information there was a thread on here listening all of the strategy guides for each system. Though Im fairly positive a few on this list do not exist as stated. (Gex 3 from Millenium books for example) I dont know about other eras of strategy guides but with N64 it seems so random when it comes to what is available. Some seem like they’re readily available because you’ll see a few listed and then one day they’re all gone and you don’t seem them for months. A good example of this was NBA Showtime -NBA on NBC from Brady games. Had a listing on amazon forever and I put it off because its a cheap sports game guide. Then one day it was gone out of stock and it took 6 months for one to pop up again on ebay. Other times you think something is hard to come by, like my initial post with War Gods, and it’s apparently easily obtainable but just doesn’t come up with a basic “war gods strategy guide” search.

Damn! thank you so much. Ive never been able to find it for whatever reason only the Brady version. Must be the search terms I use. Ive never tried using secrets/secrets of the game. I should've asked here earlier wouldve saved me a lot of time
