  1. I kinda took a left turn on this based on what someone said, and I opened everything up and tested the batteries and literally every single game was slightly over 3v with the exception of one that was reading 2.99v. On top of that, it appears that all of my games are in immaculate condition internally as well, so I've shelved this idea. Now I have 75 batteries I don't need (yet) lol.
  2. Stupid technical question: If there are no saves, do the batteries drain, or just simply age "on the shelf". Like, would it do me any good to just delete saves for long term storage to extend the life or is that stupid?
  3. I've been collecting for 38 years and have a lot of old stuff that I do play here and there. Many of them are pretty pricey now, and I keep 90% of my games complete, but I do still play them I'm going to be living in Japan for 5+ years and I don't plan on dragging my collection along with me. My main concern is anything happening with leakage or whatever on my cartridges while I'm gone and won't be around to occasionally power them on or play them. I have a lot of pricey stuff on NES, SNES, and Genesis and I'd hate to have this stuff get damaged if its as simple as spending $100 on batteries, and replace all of my old retro game cart save batteries (NES/SNES/Genesis) with new Panasonic coin cells. As a collector, would you consider a game devalued if the save battery was replaced in preparation for long term storage? Would it be more ideal to just remove all of the batteries for storage, then replace them when I get back? Is this just stupid and paranoid and I should just leave them as-is?
  4. I found some perfect fitting really thick 100 micron sleeves with the tape on the back (not on the flap) that look and feel great! They even have a light perforation on the flap to make a straight fold. Not that my word means anything but I'd vouch for these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/201110695008 I'll get some pics up when I get home.
  5. The measurements on these is very close. I ordered a pack. We'll see how it turns out. Though I'd really like to get a hard case top load thing like for baseball cards for these, I guess these could be better than nothing. https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00MGFNBOO I've got a bunch of other Heiko bags I use for manuals and regular CDs, and they're fine. I'd really like something thicker like the stuff found on retroprotection.com if I could. I'm still looking for something thicker if possible.
  6. I'm guessing its the "gluing" process of pressing a disc that results in this. I've had music CDs with this and some CD-Rs too. Never had an issue with it. I think its just visual patterns from the adhesion to the plastic.
  7. Does anyone know where to get good fitting protector sleeves or hardcase/topload protectors for games that come in sleeves like Christmas Nights on Saturn (or music CDs that come that way too)?
  8. https://imgur.com/a/Vg77Svs These appear on two of my Atlus games as well: Tactics Ogre and Hoshigami. I have a second copy of Hoshigami without the "orbs" that has a darker label side print as well. Although I don't see any obvious signs, its possible a professional grade resurfacer was used on the second copy which maybe removed them, or this could be a later print where they fixed it. So far, it looks like this might very well be specific to Atlus games.
  9. Super Dodge Ball has a star manual Also, Dragon Warrior had more revision than just the warranty info between its original release and the update. There was a beta translation screenshot on the original with poor language that got updated with a final game screen. Original Star (bottom screen is different)
  10. It looks like the back of the cart is different at a minimum. There isn't any patent info on the OG cart. https://i.imgur.com/gPZmEQz.png
  11. The manual on the Classic one is even branded 1989 even though the outer case is 1992 https://i.imgur.com/0pLOSuD.png https://i.imgur.com/4M41m1M.png https://i.imgur.com/4zz86Fk.png
  12. So other than the cover of the clamshell, is there any actual difference between these releases? The cart and manual look to be exact. I'm just curious how one would know if they're buying the original or Sega Classics in a cart only situation, or maybe someone swapped the box at some point, etc... Is the PCB different? Sega Classics https://i.imgur.com/5X6eRvc.png OG https://i.imgur.com/oorQpl4.png
  13. Well that's awesome to know. It's probably the most mint box in my whole collection.
