  1. I don't, they're stored in an unsuspecting hiding place in plain sight easy to get at. I found that it works better for me just because they're in a solid set of columns I setup in A-Z order with easy pull out access than having it all on some huge display that eats up far more space. Sure I can't look at the stickers, but with as many as I do (probably about 150 between GB+C+A) it would be a mess even if I decided to buy up lot of DS or tape cassette cases as some do.
  2. And to think it was only supposed to be...
  3. So I decided with what all I've found between last Sunday and the mail calls that rolled in through the week it probably would make more sense to do an image, so some of this is a re-run. After years of floundering on it because of my distaste of CIB costs of the imports being what it used to be for loose I didn't, but I gave in and decided to repair largely my old Super Famicom library and add a few on the side too. So that along with finally the Analogue Mega SG coming in the mail today is what I mentioned was inbound. Only 1/2 the SFC stuff is here, have a 5 game bundle from Japan still, another 4 from a US seller and another 1 that might be here tomorrow if I don't add a few more if the price is right. And those 2 NP issues aren't in excellent shape, but are intact, didn't cost much thankfully and puts me with just 1 missing issue between 1-74...I need 75 The SFC games: Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon R, Hudson Caravan Shooting Collection, SDF Macross, Fist of the Northstar 6, Godzilla(SF2-ish fighter), Mario & Wario, Mario Super Picross, Zenki(solid platformer from later years), Kunio--Super Dodgeball, and the last is a boot that slipped by going back to be properly replaced of DBZ Super Butoden 2. Those 2 multicarts in the center, my first two aliexpress orders now that I see they do paypal. That FC one has some really great variety both for quality but also the heavy hitters from US and Japan too(english translated largely too.) The other is as much so for Genesis/MD with some insane titles on there, the menu is oddly kind of beautiful and well done, very nicely built both for games and parts(both.) They'll be well loved as squatters in my FC Mobile 88/Nomad respectively. The rest is all local. All 4 at the top (Genesis) are CIB, Monopoly and Arcade Classics were $2/ea, paid $65 for Viewpoint and Galaxy Force II. The Rovin book, $4, always wanted to find that on my own w/out using ebay so that was rewarding seeing the orange spine on the shelf and the writing is far better than the earlier NES ones. Thursday is when that popped up in the afternoon, later at the other half price I dropped around $40 for the memory card (I used my stickers I kept all these years from my other 251), Jaws(yay it's fun, you know it), and Yoshi's Story. Part 2 to come, I have a few more ali goodies, 1/4 so far shipped, and more SFC titles too, beyond that, we will see.
  4. There's a doofus who has been trying to sell a smaller end CRT+movie combo for $100 or more for awhile now locally, she clearly has a valuable treasure that no one can possibly grasp the meaning of at this rate.
  5. I just got rid of the game when I offloaded what remained of my PS1 stuff within the early part of the week. It was one of 9 holdout titles I kept it sitting around as a desk paperweight for nearly 2 years. It's not perfect, but it's nearly so, within its genre, it defined a direction that Metroid, specifically Metroid 3 did just a little bit better, where it was better in balance and area design, Castlevania notched its way int the belt with the environments it had coupled with a story that progressed as Metroid really doesn't say much at least not before Fusion rolled around (and Other M.) SOTN has a few little odd spots others brought up that makes it definitely not a 10, but it's sure as hell something on or +/- a few tenths off a 9. That said Konami did dump it on IOS and Android not long ago, I picked it up so I'm no without. I just need to now find a gamepad if I want to ever take it seriously my phone will pick up. I have an adapter with a branch so it can go to the tv if I wished it.
  6. It's fan made. It's based on but not accurately formed of the 4 ovals the SNES logo did use, but it usually was gray or silhouette. Japan had the 4 button colors for their pad, so someone got cute and mocked it up with the SNES shades of purple.
  7. Oh nice Genesis goodies, I have Dragon's Fury too great game. Just the other day I got for in very very great shape CIB for that Viewpoint and Galaxy Force II from the local shop near by. Today was nice, the HBP on the way to get my kid had this nice orange book for $4 I'd only seen online before, the How to Win at Super Nintendo Games book, so dumb but a nice fun read just the way it's written. Better writing than the earlier stuff that's fairly immature and loaded with errors that the NES ones were loaded with. Then went to the other this evening when I had a little time, found a nice copy of Yoshi's Story, Jaws for NES in a sleeve which i had been looking out for, and a desperately needed Gamecube 251 card I still had a spare sticker set for from my original. I was using a 251+59 and was out of space with some stuff I couldn't save if I started, problem solved. I was in around $40ish on that stuff. Also my 2nd aliexpress package came in with a Genesis/MD 218in1 cart, surprised me both of the build quality, but also the very nice and animated, easy to navigate menu it has. I tried out Battlemanie 2 on that since I own Trouble Shooter, that was fun. Eventually I'll have to do a post, waiting on more to come in but I've got some import goodies.
  8. Finally and f google, maybe Elon once he finishes off buyint Twitter to finally make them behave honest and transparent he'll do the same to google.
  9. No you're right it is both overused by people who want to demonize opinions these days with their wunderful behavior, but in this case it's entirely warranted. Genocide, killing civilians, mass graves, bs propaganda, framing the other as the aggressor/threat, claiming to reclaim lost lands, the list goes on that parallels just too closely what happened 80 years ago. Sadly another parallel so far, more lip service than action, sending supplies but little else, other than those who say screw it and go on their own choosing to help out directly. It's going to take Putin losing his mind and attacking NATO forces before people step in I think. He doesn't want people on his border and more NATO members, yet now he has driven them to wall up the border with NATO troops and hardware on their side while scaring/encouraging more countries to join up now too. He's practically begging for it at this rate.
  10. I don't have time to waste on stupid stuff, so that means both being lost but also paying some scheming sharks. Archive dot org has a large amount of 90s guides scanned to PDF, surely this one is in there. Problem solved, unless S-E gets into pushing their own guide, no harm, no foul.
  11. Im going to have to do something, had a bundle of 3 Super Famicom games, the cheap one showed up, a boot, a very good period quality one that's not so obvious from the image, but still. I wrote them, haven't said anything so far, it's a $5-10 game but now I have to buy another.
  12. So what you're saying is PAL is a friend to no one.
  13. Yay google, figures...still 9 100ths of a percent is terrible. That's insane. When I did do it twice, I think I gave it an hour as I knew it was slim, but I used the area as a leveling space before digging deeper in the moon. When I used to be fantastic at the game I got to playing it like for 7-10 years straight once a year doing basically it all (not including that alone in 'all' mind you) and got the clock downward of 18 hours and change at the last save spot, then charge in and drop the last boss. Because I would play it well under the known time to beat range, I'd stake by areas where it was harder than it should have.

    WTB: Nothing

    Alright I have a few since it's not my thing to grab them anymore I've got stored in a file cabinet. I'll have to go look. I know I've got like Super Mario Land 2, 3D Ultra Pinball for GBC, a few others. I think it's more GBA than GB/C stuff though.
  15. Haven't dusted this off in years but...
  16. I had a boxed up set of 2 kits at a time. The Mario one was done well later around when they put that red bar on the top of the game boxes like post-SNES release. The internal functional contents were the same, but the paper (manual cover to other inserts) were time frame specific. Currently I just have the newer cooler Mario one.

    Prefer CIB or are you interested maybe in just the boxes and/or box+manual? I might have some stuff, but I like my games.
  18. That's actually pretty neat, strange rubber bands, my kid would love those. The other though I'd so drape that from my desk lamp, still enjoy the classic old 8bit arcade sprites.
  19. @Tabonga Yeah they are I guess, got an overnight email that Strife for Switch has shipped too. Another odd DHL to USPS handoff in progress.
  20. Nice with the classic cartoons, but really loving that kirby happy meal figure.
  21. Wow just wow...yeah it's a plastic cage, but again it's a plastic cage. It's not flexible like a game/dvd case at all so it's lucky it didn't shatter and nail the board(s) in the process. I had a MVS game come in a stupid way too, but when I realize what stupid did all was forgiven and much love mentally given so they wouldn't feel bad like I'd bragged. I buy a game+possible mini marquee because I think I saw part of it but not in the description. Dude mails it in the full KIT package and just butcher papers a single wrap around the matching serial kit box. Given the value, rarity as it doesn't turn up I'm not upset, shocked, stunned at the lack of care and concern but hey...
  22. So far my favorite probably would have to be Golf Story I would think, a nice Switch exclusive that gave us what Mario Golf should NOT have strayed from. A couple others would be the mid-tier collector editions of Castlevania and NGPC because of the utterly fantastic audio cd and then the Jeremy Parish retrospective book in the other. Downers? Some of the re-releases really because quite frankly it wasn't worth the time, money, or the wait because really given they also popped up on computer (and other systems too) left them feeling hollow, cheap, and kind of senseless when you could get it anywhere do whatever. I got rid of Streets of Rage4 and Panzer Dragoon over it as they just were a snore and not worth the funds, so I largely broke even dumping them, when they get a 50% off sale on GOG I'll get them back. Lower brow pick up and play stuff like that flies better for me on a non-finite setup like the PC where the games still work without digging up old hardware in time.
  23. Wow...not a fan, but Go Biden. I hope he remembers to do that. Putin needs to be put into place...no, not later. It's clear what he's after, If Kiev won't so much a solid attempt to cut the head of the government off, it makes me think almost it was some asinine distraction to pull a Crimea part 2 and that should never be tolerated. They so called re-group then roll into Donbas and raise the place to the ground as much as needed then claim it as part of Russia. Russia doesn't own Crimea anymore than China owns Taiwan...same with Donbas. This is some Hilter re-run bs going on here...roll a country, roll another, take a piece here and there, western pussies won't do anything hardcore enough to encourage a stoppage. Putin is old school russian ccp era KGB it's all weakness in his eyes easy to exploit for more. I'm sure fcgamer there gets it, I mean western taiwan has been screwing with the island for decades.
  24. Ugh...so dumb. Now did the shooter potentially mimic cinema past? No Mr Broad I don't expect you to talk, I expect you to die! (...oh crap...)
  25. @a3quit4s NIce one, and that Ardy label you can get it flat again. Razor and glue stick, then hold it for at least a few minutes hard with your thumb to get a solid stick. It won't be perfect but it won't allow more curl either. Of those there, it makes me wish I never got rid of the Mickey game, that one is fantastic, at least I kept my original one (I got #2 later second hand.) I should track that down again. And P(sh)it Fighter? Masochist. Today I sold off my pinball gba game, on the way back my kind of friends shop was open. I found he had Blades of Steel which I was looking for and also MechWarrior for SNES too(fantastic port of DOS game.) I got both for $16 so I was pleased. Last night I had a gift card, walked away from a Walmart $5 out of pocket on Mega Man 11 for Switch! When I got home today, found the LRG NGPC COllection #1 Classic Edition that had the book I was wanting to read nearly a year now so that's a nice bonus along with my first aliexpress package, a fun Famicome pirate cart the Ultimate Famicom Remix 1+2 which has some pretty heavy titles, and some others from the heavy side overseas translated into english which was a nice surprise too.
