Lovely!!! Thanks it's awesome!

I imagine I'm somewhat in the minority for the forum which generally favors Nintendo, but I prefer PS1 over N64 by a very very significant margin. Now, some of the great N64 games are awesome and I have a lot of nostalgia for them, but the great PS1 games like Symphony of the Night and Metal Gear Solid, are much higher in my personal list than the N64 games. Both systems are fun and have good games. Overall, I think PS1 has FAR more games that I love, generally speaking, but I guess the thread is mainly about the "top 10" of each. Any top 10 lists will be subjective, so it's hard to really compare in a group setting as there is no list everyone will agree on. For me, games like Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time, are excellent. I love them. But SOTN and MGS are in a different league - again, just personally for me. Additionally, I'm a big RPG person, and PS1 kills in that arena.

Btw, I meant to mention in my post @T-Pac, Thank you so much for doing this. It is always a super fun event that the community really seems to like, and you've been incredibly gracious and generous with your time and talent, doing this for everyone. It's always a blast and I can't wait to see what you come up with this year. Thanks for everything you do!

@Tanooki Just drop it and cut it out. This thread has had enough ridiculous arguing and negativity and it needs to stop.

@Estil Please use the other thread that is in the Selling subforum, instead of this one. As it stands you have two threads going on at the same time

I have an alternative recommendation / request, if something more recognizable and older. And it is Spud from Spud's Adventure for Gameboy! He so cute!

If you could do the Benny Bookworm character from an old PC Edutainment game 'Word Rescue' I would be very happy The game was released by Apogee in 1992, and I played it right around that time when I was younger. sprite: screenshots: He flies around and helps you, sometimes sliming the enemies.

It was an open auction. You paid what you were comfortable with paying. And you seem to be happy with the purchase. Therefore, nothing else really matters

Yeah - there are definitely plenty of items that I've been after for years, and can't find a single copy available on any marketplace, globally. There are others that I was finally able to obtain, but took many years to get. It's definitely not all about spending the most money, when it comes down to really rare / uncommon items. As limited as Stadium Events is, it seems it is always possible to buy one if you throw out enough money.

I loved the previous show and REALLY looking forward to this. Can’t wait!!!

Thanks for sharing DarkKobold! I was curious about where it all started. This is not to knock all the people who have dedicated years to collecting popular sets like NES - but, if everyone's collection was the same set of NES games, it'd be much less interesting to talk with other collectors. So I always find it neat when someone is going after more obscure items. I definitely understand how it can be a challenge. I'm going after PS2 (US and Japan) demos myself, and several of them, it isn't even about how much money it costs - it's about even finding one for sale. That can be really challenging and take many years. Either way, definitely congratulations on getting this one! As I said, I know some others who were very legitimately interested, but they are happy to know where it landed.

@DarkKobold I meant to ask previously in the thread - but switching gears back to something more fun and positive - what first got you interested in Super A'can? It's definitely a unique / niche system, that I know most people aren't collecting or even aware of. Collecting for NES / having a fullset there, is obviously cool as well, but I think it's neat when people are collecting obscure systems and sets as well, so it's neat to see a completed collection there!

Yeah - the auction was pretty popular and I was watching this one throughout. I just meant... that he didn't pop in here bragging about it with specific dollar amounts.

This thread took a really bizarre and at times embarrassing direction. @DarkKobold - you didn't do anything wrong and I have no idea why you got the raining on your parade at times. I'd like to point out that OP never specifically said the exact amount he paid - just that it was expensive. OP also never said this is the rarest game of all time. And yes, the game absolutely IS very rare - way more rare (and in my opinion more interesting) than stadium events, yet people spend way more on Stadium Events often. People have been spending 10 figures and higher on games way less rare, for a long time now. Whether that is 'reasonable' or not, is up to each person's perspective, but I'm not sure why this particular transaction would be so scrutinized. It's a very rare game, with a niche demand. I know of at least one other party who was very seriously interested and raising funds to bid on this, but backed out. I took this thread to be DarkKobold excited about his set and sharing it, which is cool to see. I didn't at all get any vibes of him completely showboating or being ridiculous. What would normally be an interesting set and discussion, somehow got derailed into weird semi-related arguments and for what? I don't know.

@DarkKobold Congrats on completing your set! I know how difficult it is to complete this set, so I'm sure it must feel incredibly rewarding. Don't let other people's negativity, jealousy, and/or whatever it is, undermine your accomplishment here. We all have various collecting and gaming goals, and it's nice when we can achieve them, and it's very cool to see people sharing about it. That should be something we can all understand and can be supportive about.

Hey, it's a start!

I gave it an 8. What I loved about this game, was how new and different it felt at the time playing. It was a unique experience, at least in the West, and I actually liked the exaggerated, almost ridiculous characters. It was very entertaining and has a certain... charm to it. If I were to analyze the game very critically, I could nitpick a few things or determine it isn't some absolutely stellar game in terms of gameplay, but the full package and presentation was very interesting to me, and kept me engaged. It has been a while since I played it, for sure, but I remember really liking it at the time.

Pre-ordered! This game is super fun and polished, definitely check it out if you can!

Hello and welcome! Sounds like you have some interesting experience and interests. Thanks for the great intro and glad to have you here!

These aren't manuals for that specific product, but they are manuals for other Mad Catz steering wheels. Perhaps they could be useful in some way? Not sure: https://web.archive.org/web/20030705113416/http://madcatz.com/MadCatz/downloads/manuals/6320UG.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20030705055148/http://madcatz.com/MadCatz/downloads/manuals/8020UG.pdf And a brief FAQ from their archived product page, which probably won't be all that helpful, but just in case: https://web.archive.org/web/20021023005754/http://www.madcatz.com/MadCatz/product_support.jsp?id=5320&from=pd And a pic of part of the manual from an ebay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/305131509042 I suppose you could try asking the ebay seller for another pic or two?

Please check it out and/or donate if you can! They've been doing this for many years, and it is for a great cause!

Happy birthday @Deadeye!! Hope you have an awesome day!

I was joking about nendoroid, but honestly, I do think it'd be super cool to have a small figure of the character or something. I have no idea how much more or less difficult or expensive that is, than a plush creation.

Pretty well covered / discussed here in this other thread:
