Ren & Stimpy was a show that I didnt give a chance because the small bits that I saw as a child didnt entertain me because I was always comparing it to Beavis and Butthead which was always # 1 for me back then, after TMNT of course.  I hope to one day give it another shot as it was extremely popular and see what all of the fuss was about.

I never knew about this site.  Im gonna check it out!

Hijacking this thread to promote my copy.

Welcome!  The Sage is a wealth of gaming and collecting knowledge, you just have to search for it.

Duran Duran just reminds me of my retail jobs Muzak so I can only associate them with work. Otherwise they'd probably be rated a little higher. 5/10, 7/10 respectively.

I have an old Muzak system with some cassette tapes from the 80s-early 90s that I pulled out of an old Toyota dealership a few years ago.

So, it’s easy to spot 5 screws and check if they are rare or not, but do any of you have a list of 3-screw titles that are specifically rare? I know Gyromite is.  Are there others to keep an eye out for?

Heres my list of what I look out for:

Castlevania 3 wasn't mine, but I think it was discovered right before NA went down and I never had time to save it.

Blades of Steel is in fact based off of the recent sale, and despite the top label being total crap...it seems authentic.

Good to know!  Youre always the go to expert!

@ThePhleoWas the 5 screw Castevania 3 yours and did you confirm that it was legit?

Also, is the Blades of Steel  that has been found recently the reason that "Blades of Steel 5 Screw" has a yes?

I kinda wish you'd just written that post without actually entering the votes in the poll

My fault.  I initially gave Ordinary World a 10 and didnt vote on the other and hit submit, but after I thought about it I wasnt sure if it had registered or not.

I was gonna say Come Together by Aerosmith...

Ok, my official vote is Reflex 6 - Ordinary World 10.

So, is that a vote or...

Take it for what it is, I stand by it...

I have said most of my life that Ordinary World and Come Undone are two of the top 5 songs ever made, and I still stand by this.

I hit the submit button and found out it didnt count it up for me.  Id say I was somewhere around 20-25.  Probably about 3 of them I believe shouldnt have been part of this list after seeing them...

I have always used sharpies.  Usually black, silver, or gold.

What region are you concentrating on first?  Going thru the NES page, its confusing seeing the Japan info for each game, and not knowing if Im looking at NTSC or NTSC-J.

Best - Aladdin (Genesis)

Worst - Cool World (SNES)

I started the Cool World movie once but didnt get very far before I shut it off.  Was it actually any good?

Not mentioned yet, I don't think, but Home Alone 2 and Ghostbusters 2 for NES are great games.

Home Alone 2?  Really?

I do have Carmen Sandiego CIB.  Unfortunately dont have a box protector for it...

It's a bigger box.

Oh damn!  I did not know that!  The Arkanoid box is still eluding me...

It's quite possible, but nobody has contributed it to the sealed contents thread to know for sure.  The only licenced game that I've encountered for sure without a dust sleeve is Arkanoid.  For the longest time I thought it might have been a reseal until the other variant was confirmed as well.  Though assuming FF did not have one, your speculation as to why is definitely plausible.

Dumb question that I should know the answer to, but was the Arkanoid controller a pack in with the game somehow?  Like replacing the styro with it or something?

Die Hard Trilogy was super good for its time, but I can only speak on the PS1 version.

Days of Thunder (NES): One of my all time fave movies, but I tried and tried to play the game when it was new, and it was unbearable.

Here's my cat, Hubble, on high alert in the kids' tub. 

This guy looks like he just had a bath...

That would be a cool piece to display for sure!
