Worked on games...lol that was the smart a** answer. I ran two different departments. I'm writing a book about my experiences in the game business over 25 + years. The SE chapter will be an interesting one, that I can promise you.

Thanks! I just did.

Just got my first graded game back. Very happy with the score. I got this game while working at Square Enix.

Hi Everyone! I've been producing games for over 25 years. Over that time span, I've come up with some pretty rare stuff. I'm finding out that college is expensive and I'm trying to raise money for it. I have a great working, ultra rare, wideboy for the N64. I used it to play eproms of various AGB titles through the N64 and onto the TV. This made it easier to see details of the game, take screen shots, recordings etc. Anyway, I've seen these on Ebay from 3k to 6k. I'm pricing this at 4k and open to offers but not trades. I have it on Ebay my id is chisajr and I would have 100% feedback but I go

I just got my first graded game back from Wata. It was a game, I picked up while working at SE. I was pleasantly surprised with the score ...

Hi! I'm looking at rounding out some of my collection and wondered if you knew a good site to buy Instruction Booklets and Boxes from? I've tried Ebay with some success. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

I would send one to VGA and one to Wata. That way you can compare cost, grading, turn around time, case looks etc. I sent some games to Wata and had to email them to see if they got my games. They did respond (and it didn't take 4 days) but they should send a confirmation email automatically when our games are received (IMO).

Well, up until recently I didn't have a firm list of all my games. I just put them in tubs and kept them there as I didn't have a large enough place to display them. Over time, one tub turned into two, three, four etc. In just the past few weeks, I've gone through all the games (sorting what is sealed, CIB, missing items, eproms (prototypes) etc. and have been putting them in a spread sheet (along with systems, controllers etc). I'm still tweaking the list but when it is done, posting them here isn't a bad idea. Thanks Code Monkey! I appreciate your input and everyone else who has responded.

Hi All, So, they aren't all promos. When buying games through employee stores the games are often drilled. This is common with Sony and EA games but the games are absolutely no different than retail. I know, I worked in the industry and bought several games like these. Thanks!

That's awesome. I went to Target and couldn't find one. Asked the sales guy and he said sure he reached down and had a sealed box of them. Opens the box and takes one out. Then he proceeds to drop the entire box and all of the games onto the hard floor. When asked if I wanted more than one, I just said "I'll take the one that didn't drop, thanks.". Wow! Got one and hope the rest are ok! Thanks for the heads up! 50$ not including tax.
