Private vote sucks.  Name names! I want to be able to point fingers when I don’t get my way.    Seriously considering voting for that last one.

I voted for the Heritage Auctions Presents Dain and WATA one...

I have spent less than 10 minutes with either of them because it just wasnt in my wheelhouse back then and I havent gotten around to playing them yet, but I would go with Super Metroid because of its platforming roots over what I feel is a Nintendo version of Quake, which I just cant get in to.

Mah boy Scott Bakula.  

Agreed.  I knew him best from Necessary Roughness, but he has had other roles where he killed it.

In what circles is Cary Elwes known for Days of Thunder rather than Princess Bride (or even Robinhood Men in Tights :P)

Though for the younger crowd, they might know him as the creepy step dad in Liar Liar.

In my circles hes knows for Days of Thunder and Twister.  Jesus, that makes me sound like white trash...

Heres a few that come to mind easily...

Johnny Lee Miller should have come out of Hackers being a bigger star than Angelina Jolie.

Bronson Pinchot should have been huge, but after Risky Business there was a couple of sitcoms and his small roles in the Beverly Hills Cop trilogy.  BTW I love the Bronson Pinchot Project!

Cary Elwes is a great actor mostly known for his role as Russ Wheeler in Days of Thunder.

Sam Neill from Jurassic Park fame should have had more love.

John Goodman can do it all and should be ranked much higher.

Burton's Batman movies might be dark, but they were still comedies. And to be honest? I don't think he was great as Batman. Though the bigger issue was probably the suit being unable to turn its head, which ended up looking quite goofy.

I never realized that he couldnt turn his head properly.  Thats funny!  Keaton was the best Batman tho, followed by Val Kilmer.  The new Batmans are trash.  I cant stand Batman trying to make his voice as deep as possible when he talks.

It's not too late for him, because he's been doing a bit of a comeback recently, but man Michael Keaton has been amazing in some of his later roles, with Birdman and The Trial of The Chicago 7 being obvious examples. Much better than back when he was actually a popular actor, doing Batman, Beetlejuice and such.

I was too young at the time so I have been educated by YT videos, but people were flipping out about Keaton playing Batman in 1989 cuz he was the funny guy from Beetlejuice and Mr Mom and they didnt think he could be Batman in a dark version of it.  Boy were they wrong...

Do you have pics of what youre selling and a link to your ebay?

Has there been an active member in the past that has past away that we could pay tribute to with the mascot name or an award category?

Watch The Thing, Escape from NY, and Big Trouble in Little China  

Daulton would kick Snake Pliskins ass all day!

I have never seen The Thing, so I need to get around to it.

Kyle McLachlan's finest role.

If not, I vote Tim or is that a bit to obvious?

My vote is for Dain or WATA.

If those are too offensive, lets go with Vinny the Video Game Sager.

You know I had that thought, however, I didn't know what the mascot's name was either.

Maybe our first order of business is giving that guy a name!

@GlovesDoes he have a name?

Just now, arch_8ngel said:

As a kid in the 80's, I thought he was like the softer version of a much tougher-looking Kurt Russel

Softer?  Watch Point Break, Roadhouse, and Next of Kin.

Patrick Swayze should be considered the best actor of all time.  Do not quote me, do not reply, the conversation is over.

Well, I do think this could be a fun idea.  The first order of voting business should be what do we call the awards.  Ideas coming from stream of conscientious...

• Golden Gloves
• Veggies
• Silver/Gold/Platinum Cart(ridge)
• Purple Ganons

The Sage Awards

The Sagies

The Purple Gannon Awards

The "Whoever our mascot is" with a "ies" after it?

Elias Koteas is one of my favorite actors.  Hes just super cool, but ya, he should have been a bigger star.

Looks like I have two new variants I didnt realize before!

Hi I have 2 copies of mega man 1 for nes. One is the round seal and one is the oval seal. I want to sell one and im trying to figure out which one to keep and sell. Any input? Thanks

Keep both so that you have both variants!

Yeah, if you wanna get into variants, I'll go to bat for the PLAYS ON DS* print of Pokemon Emerald (I have still seen only two, and I own one of them).

 

So is this basically a GBA game that isnt supposed to work on a DS but if you have one that does... ?

MK Mythologies: Sub Zero for N64. I really wanted to like that game, it just wasn't very good.

I wanted that game for so long, then after seeing many YT videos talking about how bad it is Im glad I never did rent it.

Got my NES on Xmas of '89, was was my first gaming console. Excluding the SMB/DH pack in cart, I also got Bubble Bobble & R.C. Pro-AM that same Xmas, so those would be my first ever video games I owned.

Very solid starting lineup!

This is a good perspective.  As I mentioned above, the family got a 2600 around 1986, but the first system I got that was my own was a Game Boy, and I remember getting a couple games with it.  My first, personal games were then Tetris, World Cup Soccer and Alleyway.

Now, the first games that were 100% mine that I bought with my own money were likely Game Gear games, after I saved up ages to get it.  I couldn't wait to get that system so I barely had enough to buy one without a pack in game, so my brother bought me Sonic 2.  That doesn't count.  I think the first game I bought with my own cash when it came around was either Jurassic Park or Star Wars.  I have fond memories of both.

I remember when I got my first Game Gear.  I was a lil late to the party cuz it was 1995, but I got NHL All Star Hockey.  I LOVED that game!

The Purple Ganon Award needs to be the biggest award or Im not watching...
