Frig it’s happening to CIBs now? 
I still don’t have this game for whatever reason, are there any print runs that aren’t expensive? Like a super late print or something?

I thought to do that as well, but wasn’t sure exactly where the fold line should be. I didn’t want to crease it only to find out that my crease was slightly too high or slightly too low. So I didn’t pre-crease it, unfortunately that caused it to not stick.

I have bought labels from retrogamecases before though, they are top quality. This crease thing was my only issue, but I guess I just need to figure out how to do that right for my next endeavor 

Before removing the backing just hold it up to the cart and draw a line where the fold goes

@Gloves and @Californication yes looking forward to DKC 2 and Tropical Freeze. I’ve played DKC returns on 3DS I remember liking it a lot but it was pretty hard.

@Sumez when I made my backlog I just did games I own, and I do not own that one. But I hear DKC3 is quite hard so I would like to try it out at some point

I am finally playing something! I started on Donkey Kong Country. No idea why I haven’t played this series until now, I grew up with DK64 and that game has a lot of nostalgia for me, so DKC having the same characters and music it feels very familiar. The music is fantastic. Got a couple levels passed the mine cart stage in the second world. Digging it so far

Great news. Damn this company is slow though.

I want to say the pandemic made it worse, but they’ve always been kinda slow. I’m hoping I can get a pocket some day

Sell me this game

Bump 

The only people who are going to win here are the auction houses and the graders. And the occasional lucky person who has the right game to sell. If you really want to make money from your collection nows  probably the best time to do it. This is not sustainable forever

Is this the one that money people own and "invest" in?

Yep

Bump - anybody?

I'm gonna make a prediction: Confused. I bet that's the least used one.

...Well, other than Agree and Disagree, but I'd assume those don't count since they only just came in to existence, haha.

I was leaning towards angry being the least

I've more or less committed them all to memory, but by this point there are so god damn many that I see where you're coming from, haha.

That makes me wonder which ones are used the most and the least

@Gloves do we have a way to check that?

Love this game. Don’t remember now if it were the first or second one I played

Fun fact: mednafen stands for My Emulator Doesn't Need A Frickin' Excellent Name

I hear the Saturn core for Mister is coming along nicely. Seems like Saturn is going to have some nice options aside from original hardware these days

I think Spider-Man and X-Men Arcades Revenge is pretty bad. The game is really difficult, has limited continues and the X-Men characters aren’t super fleshed out. It’s mostly frustrating to play the slow first level over and over again to get to the main game after each game over. 
 

However, the way they handled Spider-Man as a character was pretty fantastic. He’s got the wall climbing, swinging from webs, spidey sense, they all work quite well and he’s fun to play as. It would be nice if the level design was better to take advantage of the way he controls. 

also the music and visual style are top notch

Hey dudes,

I am looking for a boxed copy of Super Mario Kart, if anyone has a spare they’ll let go.

Not super picky on condition just a decent boxed copy with manual. None of that players choice nonsense though  

I am located in Canada, I know that may be an issue for some. Let me know what you got and your price.

Thanks!

I do not have children.

How about a game room with a lock on the door?

I think this is a great idea. A place to share our creative outlets

Nope. Home console, solid game. Forgot to include it in my recent pickups, but I purchased other games on the console this plays on.

Ahh, import Saturn. Definitely out of my wheel house haha. 
 

twinkle tail looks cool, big pocky and rocky fan

No idea. I’m guessing it’s in the arcade?

There has to be someone here with a complete or near complete CIB GBC collection.

@RpgCollector does I believe

You can cheese him by bringing the jump and slash technique in 6-3 through the whole level without dying or picking up another power up. One hit kill. Just don't tell anyone how you beat it 

I don’t remember now, was there multiple forms? Are you referring to the final one with the head that falls off or whatever? It’s been a while haha

I share your pain with Ninja Gaiden @CasualCart

That final boss

as far as substance, agreed. I was more saying that I can tell you names of Backstreet, Nsync, and Spice Girls songs. But I can't tell you the name of a BTS song. So if they're the biggest thing in pop music - I must be getting old.

I do think that Billie Eilish is cool. But so does Dave Grohl. So that doesn't seem to make me any younger and hipper, haha.

Billie Eilish is pretty cool as far as pop music goes. Occasionally you get some decent stuff hitting the mainstream

Pocky and Rocky is one of my top ten favourite games, also the most I’ve spent on a game at about 400 CAD (320 usd) for a complete copy with the poster. My favourite game is Super Mario World, which I spent just under 200 for a complete copy. I think that range would be the ceiling for me. 
 

edit: Paper Mario for N64 is another top ten game that’s several hundred now for a CIB I would pay up for that one if I didn’t have it already
