It’s a Christmas New Years miracle! ...February 14 is just around the corner though.

Now I need to make a WTB: Alf Pogs thread.

At least something good came out of 2020.

@Gloves Donkey Kong Country 1 wins based on just the sole fact that it’s got the “Aquatic Ambience” song. When I’m having a bad day I can actually turn that song on to get a dose of seratonin.

I’m excited to participate this year! I won’t be able to start until maybe the second week of January though. I want to beat at least 12 games for the sole purpose of this thread on top of my regular round of games I already play.

@Code Monkey Believe it or not, I still don’t own those two titles, but yes I have them listed with cardboard spacers instead of styrofoam. Now sell me some posters, cards, and inserts!

OK, so I'm opening this up again! I need a bunch of NES inserts to scan and look for minor variants. I'm talking printer margin shift errors, ®,™, © symbols, Years, -1's, and Zip codes....ALL that jazz. So what am I buying? ALL OF IT as long as it's for NES Main Hunt ANY NES Posters ANY NES Flyers ANY NES Maps ANY NES Registration / Mailaway Cards Specific Oddball Inserts Monster in my Pocket Blemmyae Figure (Any color) Monster in my Pocket Half-Size Styrofoam piece Rad Racer 3D Glasses (Black) 3D WorldRunner Glasses (White) Gyromite Spinner Warning Discs Dragon Warrior 1 Brown Nintendo Envelope Mega Man Sticker Tecmo Generic Mailing Label Sticker Werewolf Comic Book Documents NES-USA/CAN (-1, -2, -3 too) NES-DOC-USA (Grey) NES-USA (Pink) NES-RPTV-USA (Yellow) Nintendo Power Inserts Nintendo Fun Club Mail Cards PMG-US PMG-MW-USA PMG-PT-USA PMG-QU-USA PMG-VR-USA PMG-AA-USA PMG-BB-USA PMG-CC-USA PMG-DD-USA PMG-USA PMG-USA-1 PMG-UM GP-NES-USA GP-NES-USA-1 Dust Sleeves & Other Inserts Nintendo Branded Dust Sleeves (Foil / Shiny ink) Plastic Bags for CIBs Zelda Plastic Bags Blue Styrofoam Spacers Inserts I don't need more of: NES-NB-US - NES Play Action Football plastic cards Standard NES Dust Sleeves Standard NES Styrofoam Spacers

@NintendoTwizer Should also qualify for a NES, SNES, N64, 32X, Sega CD Dreamcast, and SMS set if memory serves...I think he was close to a Genesis set missing only Outback Joey? though he sold it for waaaaaaay more than it was worth back then.

I’ll take photos of last pages of NES manuals and top right flaps of NES boxes instead of virtual high fives! Also, thanks for settling this ... now, what can I do with a whole 2gb.....maybe upload a NES ROM Fullset or two? (I kid)

Referencing back to that tradewest flyer.... Thinking about it now, it’s interesting that CSG IMAGESOFT published Super Dodge Ball *AND* Dragons Lair, a Cinematronics game.

I hate doing research on my phone but here’s what I dug up. After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy In 1987 Cinematronics (known for games like Dragons Lair) was acquired by Tradewest and renamed to “Leland Corporation” after one of the Tradewest cofounders, Leland Cook. In 1994, Williams (company that owned Bally and Midway) purchased Tradewest, and the companies ceased to exist. In 1996 Williams acquired Time Warner Interactive which game them a controlling stake of Atari. In 1998 they spun off Midway and it became an independent company, and finally in 1999 they shut down all video game operations to focus on casino games. Somewhere down the line Infogrames acquired the zombified corpse of Atari and renamed themselves to Atari...

What did you do!!! Ignore my ghetto pink Firefox...it’s a privacy enabled variant of the browser.

There’s PORN on the Internet now? I’ve been wasting my time all these years on Nintendo forums

Shame yours didn’t include the two unreleased. Almost as big of a shame as LJN having great IP but shitty games. Its really an interesting piece these things. Thanks for sharing

Ok maybe I’m delusional because I haven’t slept all night yet. no idea why I can’t sleep. It’s 5am wtf. ... also, Battymo of all people is there. That dude left before I joined NA!

>_> ok so I just checked out the place and I see familiar names there, but I get a creepy vibe that it’s not actually them. @Braveheart69 @Quack @acidjaguar @Benihana @Richardhead @Tetris Mattress @qixmaster @Ferris Bueller @Murray @ZeldaFreak @JamesRobot @JVOSS @JamesRobot Is that actually you over there? Anyway, my roots are comfy here. But best of luck on the site @Otherguy Word of advice though, consider changing the name since GoCollect probably has a legal team.

They did eventually release it though in 1994 in Europe. I think they made one in German, and the other Billingual in French and Dutch.

I think the ad is implying they’re coming soon to NES but only two of the four shown made it, only one of which is by Tradewest. I think Tradewest actually owned the companies that made these arcade games and had plans to port them to NES. Except for Super Dodgeball. However, Tradewest was familiar with the developers of Super Dodge Ball, Technos Japan. They managed to score Double Dragon from them and had Rare make Battletoads Double Dragon as well. Obviously Acclaim published the other two Double Dragon games for the system, and CSG Imagesoft (later Sony Imagesoft) published Super Dodgeball. Technos Japan also releases two of their own games themselves, Crash n the Boys Street Challenge, and River City Ransom. Other Techno’s Japan games released on the NES include “Nintendo World Cup” by Nintendo, Renegade by Taito, and Super Spike VBall by Nintendo. Tradewest is a very interesting company as a whole.

Super DodgeBall is in fact the same game published by CSG Imagesoft. it’s worth noting it had an arcade release. Danger Zone is basically a stationary shooter game where you defend an army base. Double Play is a baseball game and homerun derby game, hence the name “double play” and it acts as a double entendre since a double play is a baseball term. All three games have arcade releases. Also, this flyer is one of many flyers branded “TRA-NES-US”

No doubt. That's why I have nearly 100 Mario 2 manuals and I'm still finding variants roughly every 4 or 5 manuals I find

Did someone say list....

The original was wrong. But then again QC isn’t Canada.

This really *is* a Canadian forum. Isnt it
