Welcome!

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is absolutely awesome. One of the best modern platformers on any platform and it has amazing music. It can be surprisingly tough, but there's an easy mode character if you need a little help or just get frustrated.

That is a significant amount of video games. Welcome!

Update and bump.

NES CIB for me now, but I also dabble in SNES CIB and want to get into Game Boy collecting. There just aren't enough hours in the day!

But it's still super fun to open sealed NES games! So I say do it!

Not sure I'll ever get to it considering the rate that I watch movies, but it looks and sounds great. Glad to hear regular people (non-critics) are enjoying it.

Yes, but the real question is: Does it matter and does anyone really care? As long as it isn't in a competition setting, play your games whatever way gives you the most joy. You do you.

Welcome!

Sweet! Nice find.

None! That I know of...

Sweet. I will be contributing soon.

I wish I had appreciated the used market in Washington more before I left. There is literally nothing here in Southwest GA. Nice finds!

This seems like it would quickly become "I just gotta finish this so I can move on" for me. So I'm gonna pass until I hear more from actual humans who play casually rather than reviewers.

Make sure to update us regarding the quality of the gameplay. With boxart that good, it's gotta be amazing!

I got into it after watching AGDQ and usually try to tune in for those big events. I also enjoy watching Arcus occasionally, but I've found streamers tend to get annoying after a bit. The more successful ones and others just chasing the dream seem to be constantly playing a character, which is not what I'm looking for. I've also just gotten busier with life and try to play games rather than watch them in the few spare minutes I get a day. I occasionally stream Jackbox Party Pack on my Xbox so my family and friends can join us for a long distance game night and that's a blast. In fact, maybe I'll advertise it here next time so some community members can jump in.

Ah, the constant struggle of being a parent who loves electronics but doesn't want a zombie child. We limit our 3 year old son to 0-30 minutes of screen time a day and he never demands the phone or tablet like I see other kids doing at the grocery store or restaurant. He also loves playing outside more than anything in the world. We spend our time together building stuff with Legos, racing cars, reading books, and wrestling. Obviously these devices are everywhere and our children will need to know how to use them to function in society, but they don't need much time to adapt. They are far more facile and their brains have crazy plasticity compared to us adults. I do have to sacrifice my own screen time so that I don't come off as a hypocrite, but that's okay because I'll never get him back at this age again. We can play plenty of videogames and watch movies when he's older. Eventually most kids will probably transition to several hours a day of screen time, but I think delaying that as long as possible is a good thing.

I don't collect sealed but I'm at least a little jelly of this bad boy. Such an amazing game. Sealed no-promo Ring King . Sexy. Sounds right to me. That's what I've always seen in CIB copies.

I've never seen this before. What was it used for?

Awesome seller. I bought Bigfoot (NES) CIB and the transaction was super smooth. Would buy from again.

The place for compliments and complaints.

So maybe I can just get rid of the background color by using a PC? I'll try that tonight since my work blocks this wonderful site.

For some reason I'm getting a visual bug where my text in another thread has a white background in dark mode. It's not a huge deal, but it's jarring. The thread in question is at the link below. I'm using Chrome on Android 9 on a OnePlus 6T. A screenshot is also below.

I will have to check when I get a copy of the red 4 version. I put an offer on a new copy but haven't heard back yet. The picture of the No-Star Manual was from an auction on eBay. No idea why they put the first page of the manual in the pictures section, but people do some strange stuff.
