    Beat every N64 Game - 2020 - 153/303

    SMB 3 froze up on you? Don't remember that ever happening to me? Unless it was more of a hardware issue than a software issue... Do go on, I feel I need to hear this story now!

    It happened multiple times. Definitely had to be a hardware issue. SMB 3 was an all-day affair because I'd feel the need to 100% it. I'd play for a couple hours, eat lunch, play a couple hours, take a quick break, etc. I know I never beat it...It would typically freeze in worlds 6/7, but that was easily 5+ hours. God bless Super Mario All-Stars for save states...

    I've never been so close to chucking a controller in my life. I'm going through the Blue Cave in Quest 64, you know the one, the Dungeon that takes like an hour to get through? 

    A pack of flying skulls appear and I'm like "easy, I can one hit the group with Rock Shower, no problem". So I cast Rock Shower and... The game promptly FREEZES. 

    Fucking kill me.

    Yikes, that blows...that is essentially my childhood experience with SMB 3...

    I don't have many dupes but I would be interested, as well as down the line.

    Cool, I'll try to get a thread going in the next few days. Due to the sheer size of the library and the massive price cut when buying XBOX games in lots, if we ended up having a few people involved, it would be very beneficial.

    When an actual meal is involved, too much time ends up gets taken with eating and visiting. I personally prefer a few snacks so everyone can get right down to gaming

    I was unsure of exactly what I had because all my XBOX games were in tubs. After going through everything, it seems I have amassed a chunk of duplicates. I was thinking about making a FT thread, but I am only wanting to trade XBOX for XBOX. Are there any OG collectors here that are in the same position?

    Well if that pissed you off I got one that impacted my old employer Midway when I was working there a couple of years.  Remember NHL HItz by any chance?  If not, it was this reduced in size teams on the ice virtually no rules hockey game, so it was more blades of steel with fists than legit but carried all the full NHL licensing etc.  When it came out with Hitz 2002 it basically beat out EA and embarrassed them pretty nicely because people flocked to the lack of nitpicking, the fun mini games, and the fact you could beat the crap out of someone like in reality.  So EA being the big mature and thoughtful company they are decided to do something about it.  No, they didn't make EA NHL Hockey 03 a better game, didn't make a new engine or routines, just their usual roster swap mostly.  No, they went to blackbox games who was contracted to make the games for Midway while they were finishing up on the 03 release and tried to negotiate with them, and in the end, instead of working with them, they hostile took them over.  They fired most the staff outright, then forced/demanded the ones they kept to either pick up and immediately move away to their EA Canada facilities, or, they can be fired too.  They wanted to punish them and Midway for crossing them, and destroyed a good company in the process.

    What trash! I am confident that kind of garbage is behind most of their takeovers. Otherwise what point? Besides, perhaps, LucasArts, the money they pay can't just be for the IPs and most (or all of the staff) gets canned in every other account I have read about.

    I'm trucking along in Rampage World Tour. It's so looooong lol. Playing Rampage by yourself just isn't as fun as with a friend. 

    I remember renting it as a kid and my brother & I beating it that day...a couple months ago, my daughter & I played it...by the time we reached level 30 I could have taken a break to play cheetahmen II...
