  1. Yes but many games wouldn't be very fun without them. I dont dedicate a lot of time to playing tapes these days so I have nothing against it. I used to mess around with my n64 gameshark all the time.
  2. Get a festivus pole instead, it's what the holiday season is really aboot
  3. Well it was last minute but I just sent in my PM. In again this year b.
  4. I was Born in 85 in Montreal, but I didn't own a console until 1996. Until then all my gaming was at a friends house. 1991 First tape I played was super Mario world. It was at a friends house. It would later go on to be the first tape I owned. 1992 - 1995 Went to arcades with friends and played a bunch of stuff there. Things that stick out to me was mk3. I played a lot of that. I played exclusively SNES during this time frame, whatever people had or rented when I was over. Your typical first party good stuff, nobody I knew owner any of that shelf filler garbage. Donkey Kong country was huge for me when it came out. I would always play that at my friends house and is still one of my favorites to this day. 1996 moved to Vancouver A new friend of mine had a tg16 and SNES. They never used their tg16 so they let me borrow it for 6 months until they decided to sell it to get some more SNES tapes. I had like a dozen turbo tapes to play, all good stuff but number 1 for me was Bonks revenge. I've got a whole bonk merch collection going, it was one of my favorite tapes growing up. I got a used SNES for my birthday this year with 2 controllers and all the hookups and super Mario world and mk3. All for $40Cad. Two weeks later I picked up B.O.B and dkc1. My brother and i played these games like crazy. During this time frame a lot of rental stores were dumping their SNES stock and my friends were aswell tonget money for n64 stuff so i got a lot of AAA titles for free or less than $20. The most significant former rental I picked up was the copy of goof troop I bought from a local rental store. 1996 - 2000 warcraft 2 on the pc was big for me first rts game I ever played. We ended up getting an n64 in 1999 I believe? Got goldeneye with the atomic purple bundle. The two biggest games for me on the n64 were perfect dark mario party 2, and ocarina of time. Played them both so much in high school. My first Ebay purchase was in this time frame aswell. I bought chronotrigger and paid with a money order. It took forever to get to me. It was also one of those tapes that really stood out for me at the time. We never really owned many n64 tapes. We just kept buying SNES because it looked better and the tapes were better. 2001 - 2003 Somewhere in there i got a decent PC and really got into warcraft 3. Played ladder games all the time My brother and I got an xbox for Christmas somewhere in that timeline. Morrowind and Tony hawk 3 were everything for us back then. Countless hours exploring in morrowind. It took a long time to beat the main quest because the side quests were a lot of fun. It was nice to have such an open world. We still kept buying up good cheap SNES tapes at the same time. 2004 - 2006 Going to college and working part time. Spent all the gaming time on Diablo 2 until world of warcraft came out. WOW became an obsession for 2 years, and was definitely the most influential tape for me in that timeframe. It was a lot of fun and an interesting experience. Did the whole raiding thing and pvp thing for a long time. I eventually quit when the first expansion came out. During this time frame I didn't really play any retro tapes but still kept buying them. 2007 - 2008 Didn't play or buy any tapes in this time frame, but did really get into guitar hero 2. 2009 - 2013 Started buying up a ton of old tapes shooting for full sets. Until 2010 when prices shot up. Got into the Wii and just played the typical first party title. Notables were kirby epic yarn, new super Mario bros. I also bought my first ever handheld the 3ds. Animal crossing new leaf was easily the most influential title for me back then. 2014 - 2016 Got a wiiu but I barely used it, it was more for my wife to play. I cant really say any tape in that time frame really stood out for me. Pokemon go was a thing for a bit and i had fun but i dont think I'll go back. 2017 - 2019 Cleared out most of my collection, I just didn't enjoy having it all anymore. I had amassed so many tapes up to this point and they all just sat on a shelf never getting played. I only kept the stuff I'd actually consider playing. We bought a switch in 2017 and have a handful of tapes, but it doesn't see a lot of use from my end. I dont really have any title that stands out for me in this timeframe either, they're just okay to me. 2019+ I'll probably continue to downsize the collection a bit more. I've been at it for so long, I just dont find it as fun as i did when i was younger. I might pick up the odd tape here and there but I'm really picky these days since switch tapes aren't the cheapest. I dont need a warehouse full of tapes when I just dont dedicate the time to play it these days. I'll always have good memories from the tapes I played, but I think the amount of time I spend with it will continue to dwindle as time goes on.
  5. Color a dinosaur. I'm all for diversity. Could be any number of a garbled up mess of colours in a day.
  6. Halloween has come and gone and still no remote. Where could it be now? All the spooky decorations have been put away. All that remains are a few uncarved pumpkins out front.
  7. On NA I bought Hagane box and manual for $50. I bought wild guns at play and trade for $8 back when it was already hella expensive. On Ebay I bought zero the kamikaze squirrel cib for $30 I still have wild guns it I sold the other stuff last year.

    NFR Halo

    I had my copy of halo back in the day that was a not for resale and it was just bundled in a bundle I bought at costco
  9. They had in that thing at a local tapes expo a few years ago. They just had a handful of super famicom tapes to go with it, nothing exclusive. So in my eyes there's nothing special about it. Literally no different than a hyperkin console to me. I get that it's a prototype or whatever and maybe the only one, so someone with more money than common sense will scoop it up for far more money than they should have spent on it. 3 million? I doubt it. But with all the forced hype with stuff recently I'm sure it will sell sky high.
  10. Animal crossing new leaf was one of my favorite games ever made. The fire emblem titles were great aswell.
  11. Before I sold my loose tapes I had em stacked flat in dust sleeves. Slides in and out easy.
  12. Just make sure you get proper insurance on it. I sent out a box with $3000 of SNES cibs on a Facebook collectors group last year without any issues. But its good.to have tracking and insurance.
  13. Yeah same here, I only have the n64 tapes i had as a teen. The console never really stuck with me beyond it's time in the spotlight.
  14. N64 looks like something that you could buy today. I love SNES but the console isnt the greatest looking
  15. I'd like to.come back as a golf ball sized rock on a highway that gets kicked up and chips someone windshield. A taste of true power.
  16. I was 6th place on the ladder for random team on warcraft 3 frozen throne for awhile back in the day. I managed to get to rank 1 in combat simulator in perfect dark 64. I'd have to check again but my stats were something like 7000 wins 33 losses.
  17. Congrats! That's really cool how the whole set fits in there.
  18. https://www.facebook.com/groups/foxsliquidation/ There you go. Canadian based but has American users aswell. One of many groups I frequent. List your tapes in Canadian dollars and be willing to ship. Sell your stuff priced at 75 to 80% market value and watch it fly off your shelves. Easy fast money.
  19. Tapes literally sell themselves in Facebook collectors groups. I sold like 600 over a year with next to no effort. Sell there if you need quick cash.
  20. Get the system with an everdrive. Turbo tapes are great but so expensive.
  21. Put it on a credit card, or pull the tooth, or go line up outside that place you mentioned like 3 hours before it opens so you get to be first in line and guaranteed to be seen. Or sell a bunch of Nintendo tapes to pay for it.
  22. They made some great stuff, nice boxes, painted the carts. It was nice to have cib rom hacks and translated roms. I really liked their secret of mana 2 and Mario return to dinosaur land. I bought lots at the time. I've got a few for sale now , I just haven't listed them up again.
