  1. You can also do it without exact terms. You can say "I beat the game, and finished the Pokedex too". Or "I beat Donkey Kong Jr. and looped until max difficulty." You can always say you beat a game, and then add qualifiers to describe how well you did. He said he beat the game, but did very poorly. I don't think that's wrong. Though you brought it up as a joke anyways, so who even cares?
  2. The internet is so sensitive now, that they'll need to come up with a less insulting word for "quitting" or "gave up". People will start saying "I ended my playthrough of Metroid".
  3. Boxed games are too expensive for me, so I sold my boxes and manuals. I only had ten, so I sold them quick. Now I can go back to how I used to collect, with just cartridges. Urban Champion is a fun game, and gets hated for no good reason. Gyromite is fun without the robot, and is more challenging when you play as a pacifist. Some levels are a real puzzle. Clu Clu Land is hard, but I've beaten the first four loops to get to where the rupees flip over. Donkey Kong Jr. is the first game where you play as modern DK, and is the best NES Donkey Kong. I ordered another CRT TV too, because the one I have won't work with light guns. Some games do work, but not all of them. I can't have an NES collection without Wild Gunman or Gumshoe.
  4. I don't have a finish line, but now I only buy for certain systems. I like the NES, Wii, DS, Game Boy, and Genesis. I collect and play games, but playing games is more important to me than collecting. I'll never be done playing games for the systems I love.
  5. Mirage Island is something only in Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire, where every day you can check with an old man to see if Mirage Island exists that day. It's depends on two pieces of information attached to any Pokemon you catch, and if those two bits of information match the numbers the game chooses for mirage island, then mirage island will exist. The numbers change every day, and you can bring as many Pokemon to him in a day as you like to keep checking. The problem is the odds are so ludicrously low that it's never happened to me ever since the game came out in 2003, and it's hard to make yourself check every day as it takes a lot of time to cycle through all the Pokemon in your boxes to check with him. I've never seriously attempted it for a long period of time, but every so often I'll do it for a week or two and it never happens. I believe it's the single rarest thing that can happen in any Pokemon game. In the remakes they removed it because nobody could ever get there. The only things on Mirage Island are really rare berries you can't get in any other way, and wild encounters of a Pokemon you can normally only get one of in an egg. The berry is the more valuable thing and is actually useful, but it's not a very exciting place outside of having the privilege of seeing it. I'd love to get there some day, but I've never made enough of an effort to try.
  6. I have played Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire so much I have done everything. Finished nationaldex, got gold shield for 100 battles in battle tower, got the gold trainer card, been to southern Island with Eon ticket, got all the rare berries, and fought all Pokemon battle e-card trainers. The only thing I have never managed to do is make it to mirage island. I'd love to get there some day, but it's never happened. : (
  7. Vs. Ice Climber looks so neat! I've known about it for years, and it's cool how much was added. I've never played it, but maybe I should. I've been playing winter related games by coincidence recently and enjoying them.
  8. I'm playing the black box games again, because I love them. ^_^ I only played Ice Climber once before, but now I love it. Popo and Nana's weird jump is what makes Ice Climber fun, and it's extra good from stages 11-27. The final stages are mean though, and the early stages are a too simple. When you clear many stages in a row, you start feeling like Popo and Nana are really awesome characters. The cartridge I bought is faulty, and crashes after a "ding" noise that isn't meant to happen. The pins are damaged, so it can't stay running for too long. I need to replace it when I start going for score attack. This game is better than I remember, and I think it's great now!
  9. I like Speed! I'm always surprised how long the run time is, because it never feels that long when watching it. I like it the same way I like Twister, where Speed and Twister aren't smart movies, but they're fun the whole time. They're two movies I think of when it comes to dumb Hollywood fun. Not every movie needs to be smart to be good. ^_^
  10. That is true actually. I misspoke. I was referring to games Nintendo made that weren't released in Japan. Whoops!
  11. We Ski & Snowboard! I love skiing games, and We Ski & Snowboard in the best! The other ones are fun, but the second one was the best. ^_^ For NES I think Gumshoe is often not given enough love. Nintendo usually ignores its old NA exclusives like Gumshoe, StarTropics, Kid Icarus 2, Balloon Kid, and Wave Race Game Boy.
  12. I guess the question sounds silly. I was truly wondering if it would reach a maximum storage or something though.
  13. Will the thread be reset at 200 pages? Or will it keep going? Sorry for not a collection post. ^_^
  14. I wasn't going to try and open it! I'm terrified of the idea of poking around in an old monitor. People who keep arcade machines are brave to try and get them running again.
  15. It's 13 inches, Sylvania CRT. It is an older model I think, because there is only one set of AV input on the front, and it only has a yellow and white slot. (No red) I have no clue what's up. XD
