I had to look that one up myself, as I wasn't familiar with the term.  Apparently it's pausing and unpausing the game rapidly after you crash, which causes your car to land and be moved to the middle of the track much quicker than if you let it happen normally.  In the video I watched, it looked like it only took 1-2 seconds off the clock for the player to land and be reset and ready to go again, whereas it should take frustratingly longer than that.

Yeah, I think by pausing and unpausing, it slows down the timer

@Sumez the point is simply for us to chat about this topic

I personally feel no need to 1CC a game or whatever it's called, though I've personally completed some games (like rescue Rangers) getting all flowers and items, never taking damage. But I personally just play games for fun, and imo stuff like that is not particularly fun.

So I'm just curious about this topic, how everyone feels. I'd reckon that if I mentioned using save states or a game genie, everyone would agree it's cheating, why not ask about other situations?

This is where I'm confused though. So a stage select isn't legit, a glitch isn't legit, but a warp in Mario "1" is or isn't legit? It's only legit if you can complete it without? If you only skip one level? Etc. The whole thing seems extremely slippery to me.

For the record, I personally feel you need to play through every panel in Mario 3 to beat it. Even with alternative paths, still gotta complete the other stages.

I use a crt, this isn't relevant to me, hahaha

Well...yes you have to farm for the weapon later, a royal pain, but it allows you to have double the weapon, making it easier for children, imo.

I agree though, my brother and I also both hate this boss, it's annoying and the game would be better without it.

I'm not sure what the official name of this event is, but we all know the boss. Growing up my brother and I would destroy the walls first, then die and destroy the enemy second. Now I try to do it all on one go. What about everyone else?

Also, I'm curious on others' take on playing games on easy mode

What about the "pause" technique in Rad Racer?

Was talking with the "owner" today. The furry guy is snipped, they actually hoping I can take him in. I said if he gets along fine with my other cat, I'd more than willing to snag him after Chinese New Year. The one other requirement is he'd have to get used to the indoor life, I'm not willing to let him out.

I typed the initial post out early this morning, I'll try to elaborate a bit now.

A few people mentioned that if it's in the game, it's fair play. What about using passwords to avoid something? Or playing the game on the easy mode? 

I started a thread earlier about me trying to beat thirty games in thirty days. Although it's my personal thing (so my rules), if I were to use passwords to advance to the final stage, then completed the games, I don't think it would match what many people here would think I was doing (i.e. playing through the games, not skipping most of it).

That's why I was curious about the items / weapons thing. Yes, they sometimes can allow you to cheese it, but at what point would it slide into the cheating category? Exploiting glitches?

My brother and I sometimes have an argument while gaming, playing games such as Super Mario Bros 3 or the Mega Man series. I generally will not use the special weapons or items, aside from in few situations (such as maybe a difficult boss or something like that), as otherwise I feel they can make the game too easy. My brother will generally use (not abuse) the weapons or items quite liberally though, and feels that it's part of the fun.

Do you guys feel that using the special weapons and items is basically a form of cheating or not? 

I've decided to try to complete thirty Famicom games within thirty days. I started this goal Sunday night. Ideally I'd aim for one game a day, but due to life, I might skip a day here and there, and then do multiple games a different day.

Does anyone here collect for the original XBox? In the past I've toyed with the idea of trying to document and also collect all of the Taiwan region games for this machine. I think it would be interesting and is worth documenting; however, I don't have unlimited money or time, and I'm not particularly interested in the Xbox, having never even properly played one.

I do happen to own the rarest game on the machine though, Daemon Vector, which was developed by a local company here. Apparently it is exclusive to Taiwan only.

So does anyone here collect XBox? For a bloke like me, is it worth picking up even as a gaming machine?

I'll try to post some Famiclones and a bunch of non-Famicom bootleg / unlicensed / import / obscure stuff next week, so please check back then (I'll let you guys know when I update).

Because this sort of stuff is generally not well known about in the west, I'm more than happy to answer questions about anything listed here, take more pictures, etc.    I just love chatting about this stuff with anyone, so don't be afraid to ask.  Likewise, I'm always open to offers, especially if someone wants to purchase a bunch of items at once, so don't be shy.

Peave, Love, Trippy Club - $50

This is a brand-new indie game for the Famicom. Basically you're stuck in a hellish trippy club and need to escape. The stages get weirder and weirder as you go along. Initially you're in flashing lights, but then the club suddenly turns into a beach party where you're fighting dick canons and birds, in the sand. You even end up travelling into hell, all the while girls make suggestive passes at you. You're even collecting Mary Jane in one of the later stages.

Dragon Boat Festival - $30

Brand new (three-stage) game designed for the Dragon Boat Festival back in June. Extremely limited quantities were made, and I've got a few extra to sell on here. This won't ever be available again, as it was designed to commemorate a holiday.

Recently bought some Japanese N64 games from @OptOut, when I received them I saw that they didn't include the baggies, a detail he forgot to mention. Oh I'm so angry!!!

On a more serious note, always a pleasure to deal with this guy, he's honest, fair, and a great guy to hang with.

Just received a bootleg of Ike Ike! Nekketsu Hockey-bu today! Another one scratched off the list.

I remember I was banned for two weeks, it was right as an auction or two I was hosting was ending too. The mods were more than willing to let me finish business before taking a brief vacation.

Imports (especially Famicom) are on the rise, the prices here are finally starting to get stupid!

It's a clone, RadioShack used to sell them up through the 2000s. Some had problems with overheating and the like, at least the one I had did. No idea on value by now.

Fun fact, these were made by Bit Corp, I got a poster for this hanging in my game room.

Hik that's not jy company original has little value. People prefer first print I guess

Yup, that's probably real prices. I've lived in Taiwan since 2011, the parcels my mom sent me from then until now decreased in both size and frequency, due to postage. She just sent me a parcel for 103$ . On the other hand, I sent a friend a large box to Holland for $30, so cheap.

The guys not trying to fleece you, shipping internationally from the USA now is just insanely high.

A lot of really expensive and hard to find stuff on there.  Good luck!
