I'm with you, value or no value I don't want to own 49 copies of X title no matter who is speculating that they may be worth X dollars in a few years. I want to grow my collection to new titles that I will hopefully get around to playing sometime. Mario 3 as in SMB 3 for NES? I mean if you can by them in bulk and sell them for like $5 or so profit each I guess that is good? Seems like not really worth it though like you'd need to use an online platform to sell them so fee's there and shipping and what not. PriceCharting doesn't really agree with them right now at a loose value of ~$9, shit I think I paid ~$20 for mine at the height of NES craziness. They must be in it for the very long speculative game of in a few years they are worth more? Do they also think that the valuable games now won't be in the future, that commons will somehow become the uncommon?

Welcome to your new home!

I have a full wood shop in the garage.  It wouldn’t be to hard.  The plan is to eventually make some custom shelves I’m just not sure what I want to do exactly.  I’m still working on a plan.

SHAME ON YOU FOR BUYING PRE-FAB SHELVES!! 

I thought he was holding a pitchfork until I read this lol

Thanks.  I’m running out of shelf space myself, it’s about time to buy another one.  I usually rearrange but I don’t think that is going to cut it this time.

If you've got the tools around, you should try building one. I built that one that the N64 games is on, its pretty shitty but it was cool I could customize it exactly how I needed it height and length wise. Home Depot/Lowes will usually cut wood for you as well so you can just screw it all together. I wouldn't use 2x4 again, something thinner would have been better.

edit: plus building something made me feel extra manly!

I made it to that first boss in Dark Souls III and was like noooppppeeee

Interesting insight from someone who actually creates games, thank you for sharing! I can see where you come from , making an NES game is basically working in Assembly and newer games have engines they are running on and really just swapping characters and world textures and maybe some custom animation.

Normally I would say Welcome here, but instead a thank you and others for bringing this to life. I'm ecstatic that you kept your avatar lol

Yeah I'd only be going for the marketplace, sucks that it stinks....its only about 45 minutes from me!

I bought one of their LEDs to run through it, doesn't come with that. It is very nice but I am running out of room in it, hence the stuff at the top.

I watch TronicsFix a lot on YouTube and I have bought some of the tools he uses. I think his soldering stuff is expensive though. His Amazon storefront is here:

I had to move some stuff around and demote my Xbox and Xbox 360 games to somewhere else. My shitty homemade shelf is still standing! Not to shabby for a little over 3 years in the collecting game.

Is HH86 going to have updated graphics or something for the Switch or just a port over? It takes a ton of time and people to create modern day games, I thought people usually did the retro homebrew thing because it was one to maybe a few people working on a title?

I need to give this game a go, I have heard many people say it is a great game. Maybe today since I am working from home!

I will be working on that script to save the contest pages as HTML this weekend.
Then it will be a matter of deciding where to host them so people can access the full contest history.

FTP them to Gloves and have him host them on VGS S3, I think he will be getting it soon for image hosting.

Argh, Stack Up. I bit the bullet and paid around $90 for a mint loose DK Jr Math because I saw it in a local game store and I like to support them. I refuse to pay over $100 for stack up! I can't really complain though, with the emergence of the sealed and graded market, the loose market is trending down again.

HI!

Yay I can buy some more of your games!!!

welcome!

I think this is more of a "hey i have money and you have a product ready to ship" type of thing.

Project Blue is not technically available for purchase right now (though I fully support and encourage backing it!!!).

Sounds about right. See any value in having like a queue list for titles that are pending? Rollie and Jay and Silent Bob Mall Brawl are two others that come to mind.
