You may (edit: pedantic Southerner) have questions, I did too and looked it up.

On the bright side you can save a disturbing amount of money and get one of these vinyl decal packs for your existing 3DS! =)

Picked up this bad boy at a second hand store in Sapporo, Japan. I'd seen it listed in a recent Kotaku article but didn't think I'd spot on in the wild. Found an old eBay listing where someone was trying to sell the boxed machine for 295usd, but they ended the listing. Also couldn't find anything on pricecharting so not entirely sure the potential value. I also have to see it actually works, though it comes with 3 months warranty.

Added a video for those interested: https://youtu.be/1NvPVA_qYng

that's always fun. Not game related, but my friend worked at google and gave me This which was exclusive to Google employees. Always neat to see internal swag

Combination of a rounded scraper and a hair dryer to loose the stickers up...and luckily, NES labels have that plastic coating over the tops, making the process a bit easier.

Chrono Trigger DS is still being printed and widely available! Amazon has it for $23.69 right now. https://www.amazon.com/Chrono-Trigger/dp/B001E27DLM/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1499465576&sr=1-1&keywords=chrono+trigger

Personally I use these cable ties with this wrapping method.

Edit: wow, I didn't expect a response. I'm glad others do this as well. Some may think it's overkill, but I want my stuff to last a very long time.

Atlantic 35435725 Media Tower Elite Large (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058O8ES8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_m6A8BbADZBZ9M

This thing. Really flimsy. But with a little modding and gentleness its amazing and sturdy.

It's actually a knockoff pelican case from monoprice. Not as nice as pelican but about a third of the price, and good enough if you aren't taking them canoeing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JVA7RNI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Edit: and yes, ultraHDMI

The all transparent controller was part of the Enjoy Plus Pack. It was a console package that was released in Japan. The package came with a platinum Gamecube, platinum controller, gameboy advance reader, memory card 251 and the transparent controller in a bundle. More info here

My story with these controllers is pretty random. My older brother found one on eBay and bought it for me as a thank you for a favor. When he told me the package for the controller was on the way I thought he was joking. My jaw dropped when I saw it for the first time. After searching for years and finally owning one it still doesn't seem real. The second controller was randomly gifted to me later that week by a good smash buddy. We both play Project M/Smash 64 competitively and are generous with gifting controllers/consoles with each other. Now I feel like the richest collector in the world. This controller has always been my #1 wanted item on my hit list.

This site has a ridiculous amount of games listed, where people can post how long it took them to beat those games. It is divided into different parts, such as how long it took to beat a game just start to finish, or if you went through and did everything completely. It also takes all the times that have been posted and gives the average, longest, and shortest times that it took people to play those games. I've found that for all the games I've looked at, nobody has posted things such as 1 second or a million hours to throw off the averages. The site is http://howlongtobeat.com/gamelist.php?sortby=0-9 Hope this helps.

I have one with all the accessories RetroGEN (Play genesis games) and RetroAdvance (Play GBA games). I love it. It is made of a nice material that feels great in your hand and isn't heavy at all. Plays almost every cart you can throw at it. The battery last about 8-10 hours on a single charge so plenty of play time too. I use mine all the time. Get this one over the SupaBoy any day of the week. Does everything the SupaBoy does and way more!

If I have to say a downside I would say it is far more sensitive to dirty carts than any other system. So make sure you thoroughly clean your carts before using with the Retro Duo.

I probably wouldn't buy from ThinkGeek. You can find better deals on it elsewhere. Make sure you get the V2.0 Core. I got mine on Groupon for $45.

$73 on Amazon w/Prime

$79 on StoneAgeGamer

Ask him if he has the controllers.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PIONEER-LASERDISC-LASERACTIVE-CLD-A100-PAYER-PAC-S10-MEGA-LD-SPACE-BERSERKER-AND-/110804269564?pt=Music_Other_Formats&hash=item19cc72f9fc#ht_2248wt_1163

Rawr. I can't always guarantee the best deal you can find, but I'll do my best to get it at a reasonable price and I'll test everything that I can before shipping it.

Let me know if the F-Zero doesn't work and I'll see what I can do about it.

EDIT: Also, here's a link to my Twitter for the lazy: Hngh.

Micro Machines is an unlicensed NES game. It is worth a around 20$ or so. Mind if I ask how much you paid for it?

If you're feeling particularly brave... https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Nintendo-16-Bit-Video-Game-Cartridge-Console-Card-SuperMari-Series-English-Language-Edition/1943480_32698393583.html?spm=2114.12010608.0.0.UkeLgW

My girlfriend got me this media bookshelf for my birthday and I love it: Atlantic Oskar.

It's a bit expensive compared to other options, but it looks great and is sturdy. There are plenty of shelves that you can put wherever you want so you shouldn't have any problems getting everything to fit snug.

Here is a photo of mine in action!

Never deal with shipping anything on Craigslist. They even tell you this at the bottom of every sale page and have a page about avoiding scams.

Glad you didn't get scammed, but warning us about a specific person (which may not even be his real name, so you should delete it) isn't going to do anything.

I have this cheap one off amazon and it works pretty great. There's tons of reviews of people that use it with retro systems.

Just be warned, this sub and /r/retrogaming are filled with people drinking the framemeister kool aid who will tell you if you don't drop a grand on an upscaler and cables or play on a Sony PVM everything else looks like shit and is unplayable.

I have a sony wega trinitron that I prefer to play games on S-video, but the upscaler I linked definitely does the job if a CRT isn't available.

It might technically be a nail polish display rack. I came across the recommendation somewhere else on reddit and these guys did a video on them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oreOa_rIUj0

Link to one of them on amazon

I don't have apple, so I can't really compare the two, but if you're looking to add stuff to a game collection, then I'd really reccommend MyGameCollection. They even have a sub.

Front mission isn't worth anywhere near $40 and Secret of Mana 2 has been going for about $26 shipped as Climhazard said below. Everything together may come out around $40-$45 shipped.

you can get Contra on ebay for 20 bucks, free shipping (assuming no one outbids you). I would do that immediately. Golf can suck it.

Here's a link

Besides PAL region and JP Wii/Wii U games, I'd love to find the Gamecube Interactive Multi-Disc January 2002 and Version 18 for the Pikmin 1/2 demos. Not sure on the promo stuff, I usually just get the games.

Protip: Befriend someone that works at Best Buy. Have said friend purchase you these shelves using their employee discount.

They're about $32 each after the discount if I recall and they look like this when they have video game stuff on them.

Easy right!

Me and a friend have a joint account were we sell dupes and and such on. I spent far to long making it look as professional as possible. That is what people really want. You I always kind of feel weird buying from people who have a horrible page. If it is a nice page, that is just text. Well worded with decent pics that is okay. Just not
ALL GAMES ARE GUD NON TESTED CUZ I DON HAVE CORDS.
BLAHBALAHABAHAB..

I hate that. I made emails for it to so it looks all pro. Every detail helps, especially when emails are free. Hahaha. As far as I have ever seen mine (ours) is the best looking video game selling (store or individual).

I am not trying to sell you on my stuff because it never has to much stuff on it since it is all just dupes and stuff. If you wanted to check it out for wording or anything check out the about me or what our auction page looks like. Looks like my friend has a couple gameboy games up right now....He should have told me....I want Bubsy....

It's been a long time since I used it, so I might not be remembering correctly, but I believe http://www.backloggery.com/ does what you're looking for.

Edit: I'm attempting to retrieve my account so I can confirm for you.

Edit 2: Yeah, looks like you can make a list of what you own, what you want to own/play, and what you've either beaten or completed (i.e. 100% completion.)

Dusty Diamond's All Star Softball. Great sports title and actually somewhat rare. Never heard of it until a few years ago when I got it with a box of other NES carts.

You must be fun at parties if you can't even accept this. Right now there's a guy selling N64 games for $7 a piece, and some of them are worth $15-40 a piece. Some people just don't give a fuck about games and want them out of the house. https://offerup.com/item/detail/503743661/

It's been a while since I've had any fresh 2600 CIBs but eBay used to be the only option. Looks like there are some on Amazon now.

Something like these:

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07PCLG9WY

They aren't super cheap but I think the price goes down if you buy in larger lot sizes. Not sure about quality on those in particular but you'll find something. Search "2600 game box protector case". People sell plastic sleeves as well if you wanted to double up.

Check your prices with pricecharting.com, some will be New in Box, some Complete.

The ones I personally use look a lot like these, but mine were like $1 a pop.

Looks like you can still buy it on Amazon brand new for not too much, so if you want to play it I'd say go for it.

Amazon is where I found mine! I think it was like $11.50? I’ll post a link for it. Also I think they very in size (as in how many bottles of nail polish it can hold) I saw one that could hold 172 where the one I bought held 60. If you have a big collection buy the larger one it will be more cost effective.

EDIT: Home-it Nail Polish Holder Acrylic 5 Step Counter Display Holds Up 60 Bottles https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GBCPM6I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PsIdBbTR0AY3F

About 7-8 years ago my mom gave me one of these and I didn't figure out that it was meant to hold shoes until about a year ago, but it works like a charm! https://www.amazon.ca/AmazonBasics-24-Pocket-Over-Medium-Size-Organizer/dp/B07227PWVP/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=shoe+holder&qid=1553960185&s=gateway&sr=8-6

Here's a picture of what mine looks like.

Let's do this Webmeister. I need that game to complete the unholy trifecta on the Atari.

PM me if you find anything. Hell, do it even if you don't.

Google Documents. Its great when you are out and you have a "want" list that you can bring up on your phone or if you switch computers a lot like I do, its annoying to keep emailing the same document keeping it up to date. Google Documents solves all that. Here is how I have mine set up. It literally saves you a ton of grief and if I ever need to check something while I'm out for my want list, bam, right there!

After a bit of googling, the left one should be SD Hero Sōkessen: Taose Aku no Gundan and the right one should be SD Gundam World Gachapon Senshi 3: Eiyuu Senki (both are Famicom games)

I think you're looking for Pearl Harbor: Zero Hour, but I don't know if it had that UFO mode in it.

edit - Actually, maybe the UFO is one of the hidden aircraft?

Well now that we have a picture we know that it's the Japanese version of the game and not the American version. It's still an OK deal but not worth nearly as much.

EDIT: here is a current listing for "new" versions

Also from a quick check it appears that Virtual Boy games in Japan weren't sealed like US versions. This is similar to Super Famicom and N64 games released there. This is a re-seal.

After being hooked on a game for a while, picking a new game can be overwhelming sometimes. Sometimes I like to just pull a few games I need to play off the shelf and make a small pile. Then I use How Long to Beat to get a sense of involvement, and sometimes that helps make the decision easier. If the game will only take 10 hours as opposed to 60, I may be more likely to jump in.

Amazon is what people are charging, not what people are getting.

You definitely won't get that from r/GC. You might get something like that from Ebay, but even that seems high.

Edit, no, you won't get even close to that.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/N64-Console-Lot-23-Games-GREAT-ACCESSORIES-/200651233749?pt=Video_Games&hash=item2eb7bed9d5

Let’s face it – Craigslist is a cruel, cruel temptress, chock-full of overpriced, common games and systems, as well as flaky and shady sellers who just seem to want to waste your time (this has been my experience over the years at least, for the most part). But sometimes… sometimes Craigslist can lead to something glorious, but you need to be constantly checking, and searching, and watching, otherwise the best deals will be gone before you even see the original post!

There are also other times when watching Craigslist like a hawk is just not feasible, like when I’m supposed to acutally be working at work, or when the in-laws are visiting, or if I’m at a funeral or something.

So, set up some Google Alerts to let technology do the watching for you. Put in the keywords you’d like to search, followed by a definition of what site to target, like “Nintendo site:http://detroit.craigslist.org.” I’m still fine tuning my alerts to get them as accurate and relavant as possible, but so far I’ve picked up on stuff that I may have overlooked, and I’ve been notified of new postings within an hour or so of them being created. Worth a try if you’re a busy person who doesn’t want to miss out on a potentially good deal!

TL;DR – Use Google Alerts to watch Craigslist so you don’t have to

Yeah, it can be cleaned, but expect to spend some more time on this one.

Here are some pictures that will help you open it up

To get it in full working order, you're going to need to open it up, so if you don't have a gamebit, you should buy one. It can still be done with needle nose pliers, but thats overly hard for no real reason.

So, open it up, take out the screws on the inside that is holding the sheilds and board together, and take it all apart.

You'll need some polishing compound for the contacts, make sure to clean everything off with a high percentage rubbing alcohol after finished. (There are many Polishing Compounds you can use; I use 'Mother's Mag and Alumin Polish, but lately I've been using a cleaning liquid I purchased from [Nintendo Repair Shop.com](NintendoRepairShop.com). If you get that, they sell it with a gamebit, so it may be perfect for you.)

The shields may be cleaned with the same polishing compund, but it will most likely require some sand paper. Don't worry about making it dull and not shiny, no one is going to re-open this and judge you, and the game will be fine as long as you don't use the sand paper on it.

As for the cart itself? You are probably already aware, but the label of a N64 game doesn't like to be cleaned, and I'm assuming it is probably dirty. A very lightly damp microfiber glasses cleaning cloth can be run over it, but even then you'll probably pull some color out. You may need to print a new cover, which should be able to be found from the cover project, with some work. I haven't done it yet, so good luck in that regard.

Funny you mention it.

Just last night, RPCS3 (The PS3 emulator) posted their monthly report, and in it, Scott Pilgrim is now playable!

https://rpcs3.net/blog/2017/06/04/progress-report-may-2017/

I don't think a code can even exist now. I've bought lots of games with codes (For the 360) and they seem to expire a year or two after that games release. I don't know that any company has infinite duration on their codes.

Replacement sticks and battery cover

$15 and a few minutes of time ain't bad, one of those controllers and the receiver is like $50 - $70 on ebay

I like these little wooden easel stands. I haven't bought these ones specifically, but they are basically the same ones that I have. You can get them on Amazon or I often find them at places like Hobby Lobby. For your ds and 3ds systems, they are perfect. I have found them to be a good solution for Game Boy pockets, colors and SPs.

I utilize VG collection tracker. Very easy to use and has been very helpful when I'm out trying to make sure I'm not buying a duplicate. I've shared the free app, which will serve its purpose.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rvdsoft.vgcollectiontrackergratis

On android I am absolutely in love with My Game Collection. The guy has a great detailed interface that works well and has a subreddit where he responds to users thoughts and suggestions. I'd check it out if you had an android device!

I'm pretty sure black is the most common color, so when I unzipped the carrying case, I was expecting to see a black one.

Blue is rarer than black, I assume, but probably not all that much rarer.

Now Coca Cola red, there's a rare Game Gear.

Ah yes, but do you have this delicious Game Gear!

AhhhhhhHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

breathe

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That is awesome.

You need this and this now.

I'd like to cast my vote for Firemen. It is a great game.

Modding a SNES to play Super Famicom games is super easy. You just need to remove some plastic tabs:

Story and Prices (as determined by VGPC)

Just one hell of a day thrifting, hitting a couple retail shop and finding rediuculous deals on the CIB (illuison of gaia for $15, PH 3 for $5) and buying a lot off a friend, and $76 for lordloss’s magnificent carts.Along with the retail deals, which were not as impressive as some of the other deals i found at pawn shops and thrift stores and a lot purchase. Some of these were redistributed to a friend, (such as megaman x2) and FF 7 was a gift from a friend, in lieu of paying for gas on this trip.

Document entailing every game and estimated prices.

THe link bellow is a google spreadsheet of what Keegan could mean. I simplified mine a lot. This one is based on PS1 games.

A lot of people like to put the year it was put to market, region, (Japan, USA, euro)) and many other things, some have links to fake copies so they know what to watch out for. Really you can put anything you want! I am always adding more to mine.

Decided to make my bucket list of PS1 games I want to get before I Keelhaul my ass to a six foot grave (If I am lucky enough to get that).

PSX Bucket List

Very nice!!! If you want to look at my list to see some other RPGs. Also, here is a great master list for you to go by that I found on some forums! Looks like you got some great ones already!! Are you going for collector's versions or just the game itself?

Welcome to the RPG collecting club :) I have a few sites that list all of the PS1 and PS2 RPGs, as those are the toughest to tackle. Getting them complete can be tricky, but my list is coming along as well. My only suggestion is focus on one system at a time and know which ones are going to be the hardest to get on all systems and constantly search for those on sites and game shops. There is obviously alot of shit RPGs for the PS2 and some borderline on all systems, thats why I go for the "core" RPGs first and worry about the crappier, debateable ones later!!

This is all I could find on that game for that year. Looks like it was a video preview as there were no gameplay demos for that game.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/tgs-2003-namco-to-bring-kaena-to-the-playstation-2/1100-6075897/

Sounds like the ALS Video Game Center

Stores 9 carts above, 9 below.

He also has this one.

The condition they are in looks almost too good to be true. He says that only 1 out of 2 of the games actually work and that is why the price is so low. Is there any merit to this? Also, could these items be repairable?

He also has a Coca Cola Edition Sega Game Gear! I didn't even know that existed.

Check out the auctions this person has, some of them are pretty incredible.

HE ALSO TYPES EVERYTHING IN ALL CAPS AND HAS NUMEROUS RUN ON SENTENCES NOT SURE IF I SHOULD TRUST THE SELLER OR NOT BECAUSE THE FEEDBACK SCORE SEEMS TO BE OK. I HAVE COME TO FIND THAT TYPING IN ALL CAPS CREATES A SENSE OF URGENCY WHICH FORCES ALL MY PROSPECTIVE BUYERS TO PRESS THE BUY IT NOW BUTTON WITHOUT REGARD TO THEIR WALLETS. OH THE HUMANITY!

here is an instructable on how to build one of those, should explain somehow how they work.

I do have one of these, mine works fine. As long as you don't use ridiculously long cables I don't think the quality decreases, but if you hook up several of those boxes in a row that might affect it a bit. I guess.

I guess its not there anymore but this is close enough https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nintendo-Entertainment-System-NES-Classic-Edition-International-Version/145541682?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=5663&adid=22222222228065339458&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=1696...

How common were these? I don't recall seeing one before, but the concept makes sense. Put this in the kid's room to keep from taking over the living room and no wires/connections to mess with.

Auction listing

If you want something on CL, you gotta be the early bird with the best offer. You will lose out to others that are faster and offer more than the asking price, but if you follow my advice, you will get some deals!

Finding the sell

I recommend signing up for IFTTT, they can send you text alerts when certain keywords are put in a post. Call or text the seller RIGHT AWAY if possible. If no number, send an email with your number (I recommend using a Google Voice number) telling them to CALL you. Talk to the person, let them know you ARE INTERESTED (not bursting at the seams, but don't be skittish about it either- they will not take you as a serious buyer). Set up a time to meet ASAP, somewhere convenient (and SAFE) for both parties!

Closing the deal

Personally, I don't like to even discuss money until I am with them in person and can see the item. How would you feel if you agreed to $X then get there and the item is not in as good of shape as you saw? Don't even bring up the price at all till you are ready to fork over the moulah.

I've done lots of buying and selling on CL over the last 5+ years and haven't had a single bad experience either way!

The '95 version has that classic feel to it. I'm talking about turn of the century baseball style mixed with the graphics of the mid 1990s.

Ah, World of Spectrum had a big crash a wee while ago, they still haven't gotten around to updating a few things, the emulator page is obviously one of them. I had a look at the author's site and it's down too. Sorry about that.

You can download the trial version of Spectaculator, you only get a month with it but it's the best Spectrum emulator out there.

Got it up and running pretty quickly with DxWnd, but I'm having some issues with the colors acting up. Gotta play with it more to clean that up, but it's looking pretty hopeful.

For shits and grins, I tested uncdcheck with it and it worked for removing the copy protection. It's a super simple program that targets a single cd checking scheme that was popular in the 90s.

I believe Nintendo Age has a link for the NES ones here . I'll keep looking for others.

EDIT: I found a site that lists battery backed ram, but from what I can see, it will list all games with a save feature, not just the ones with batteries (so, things like the N64's EEPROM will be listed). This kinda exhausts my luck on the subject. Main page is here and there is a small list on the right hand side of the page to narrow it down to the system you desire.

Best of Luck!

You might be lucky to find someone who doesnt notice the commonness of these, but they really arent worth a whole lot.

They are called Anaglyph glasses. They come in a few different color combinations. The ones you will need for Rad Racer are Red/Cyan. The real ones look like this. Really it doesn't matter as long it they are red/cyan

Totally fake. The Nintendo logo, Nintendo seal, ESRB rating and Pokemon Company logo all seem completely different than a normal cartridge (see the link here)

That is CIC, not CIB. This is CIB

Still, finding anything TG16 in the wild is hitting the jackpot.

Drawers aren't that hard, the hardest part would b to take into account the track when making measurements and adding making sure the board at the front is large enough to hide them when closed.

The first piece of furniture I built for myself was a smaller shelving unit to hold my PS3 and PS2 games. I also wanted to have a space to put my radio in. I built a few more since but this is going to be my biggest building project.

The over the door shoe holder is a great method of storage, but not the type that you have. You're adding extra wear to your analog sticks by putting the controllers in those. You need to get the kind of shoe rack that loads from either side instead of the top and get one that is sturdy. They're a bit more expensive, but look nicer and also help keep dust off of things.

This is similar to what I have and I love it.

Here’s the Chopper DS. And here’s the PSP.

Years ago I got a game with full disc rental sticker. My issue with it wasnt the look but rather one corner of the sticker started to peel up and it stuck up so much that it would make it un playable.

So what I did was put the disc on a soft cloth to not scratch the disc. Then I got a bottle of Un-Du https://www.amazon.com/Original-Formula-Sticker-Remover-California/dp/B003TZQPTS

I then wetted the head of a qtip with the stuff. Then I grabbed the corner of the sticker and slowly started to peel it off. while I peeled I just rubbed the wet qtip head where the sticker meets the disc then just slowly peel the sticker while I rub it with un-du

I got it up with no damage and no sticker residue but I think I was lucky because the sticker used might have had weak glue and it was old.

The label can be safely removed. Here’s a video link courtesy of Eldoug’s Video Game Cleaning (u/Eldoug)

• Cotton swabs
• Bestine or heptane (buy at a local art supply store)
• A peeler set

These materials will go a very very long ways in game cleaning. The Bestine is like isopropyl that doesn’t damage paper but obliterates adhesives and goo. Speaking of goo… don’t use Goo Gone. It’s oil based and while effective at removing adhesives, is also effective at permanently damaging paper.

TL;DR: use a peeler to get a corner up, use the cotton swab with Bestine and rub it back and forth along the under side of the sticker, destroying the adhesive bit by bit until it has fully lifted the sticker.

If you can afford it now, I found some pretty good deals here: https://www.amazon.com/Hack-G-U-Vol-2-Reminisce-PlayStation/dp/B000OKP5MO/ref=sr_1_8?crid=14DFLJST6NUTU&dchild=1&keywords=dot+hack+ps2&qid=1613242393&sprefix=dot+hack+%2Caps%2C220&sr=8-8

I really like to add this to my consoles

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00G059G86/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_7MTZXHYNQHRNJC47E06S

Just plug it in the USB port and it will turn on when the console does and really help with air flow.

Great. Now I have a Sonic throw blanket on the way to my door! >_>

It's available on Amazon as well, for anyone interested; https://www.amazon.com/Sonic-Hedgehog-Super-Plush-Throw/dp/B00EUETUAS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468228946&sr=8-1&keywords=Sonic+The+Hedgehog+Throw

No real complicated story here. Just saw /u/xanotherdaydownx's packing post and loved his throw blanket so much I bought my own on Amazon. :D

Right now it has no home, I'll be throwing it in my den once I remodel it. :)

Be sure to pick up The Last of Us Remastered. It's only $18 right now on Amazon and worth every penny. Easily the best game I've played in 10 years.

Here's the link to it brand new on amazon for only 30 bucks. It's also a ram card, so you can play any game with this thing, and it's also a memory card. A definite must have for the Saturn!

I have no idea, but it's selling for 15£ on Amazon and for around 20$-30$ on Ebay. Depending on how much you paid for this game, it might have been a good find.

You can just use hair developer. The main active ingredient in RetroBright is hydrogen peroxide. There are much easier ways to get hydrogen perxoide gel than making it yourself. Here is some on amazon

You still follow the same process. Paint it on the part, wrap it saran wrap to keep it from drying out etc.

I actually got it at Kmart a long time ago (like 4 years ago). I want another one and the only one similar I can find is on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Bath-Products-Glass-Espresso/dp/B00PJR3L0A/ref=pd_sbs_201_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=28AT8927S9QTG7VM08KN

Amazon is getting the Pound HDMI cables for the Dreamcast back in stock on 7/16. $29.99 for it, I have the original Xbox HDMI cable from Pound and it has worked great so far. I'll probably get the Dreamcast cable soon too.

But they last a long time. I bought a 3 pack and I still am using my first one.

A 3 pack is just $9.99 on Amazon

I luckily got it for $22 sealed from amazon prime a year ago. Now its $53 for the same exact thing I got a year ago!

Chrono Trigger https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001E27DLM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_E7j0BbECPFQRW

anyone know why it got so rare all of a sudden?

Prepac Quad Width Wall Storage Cabinet, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001KW0BDI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ejSyFbN63BE2E

It comes with a wall stud but this thing leans against the wall like it has its arms behind its head enjoying doing what it’s doing

The heat flow is literally the only reason I got that type of shelf. This is the Amazon link to it if you're interested in getting it. AmazonBasics 4-Shelf Shelving Unit - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYBQXRH/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_5eZJCb21H30E4

Joycon grips. Makes them feel more like a standard game pad. Pretty good for multiplayer games like MK8d and Mario Party.

definitely the Pokken controller for the Wii U

I had to make them myself. Luckily quite a few games already had cover art so I just had to cut and fit them differently.

I don't know how much this will help or if this is shared correctly, but here are my files that I used. Please keep in mind that I have never before used GIMP or any other Photoshop like software in my life. This was my first experience and I am sure most people could probably make them look better than this lol.

EDIT: The final projects are .xcf files since I made them in GIMP, but you can export them in GIMP to png or jpeg if you wish.

EDIT 2: I already gave credit to wiggy, but if you want more covers for N64/SNES and others just check out his post on thecoverproject.

Very true - AES is a hell of a lot more expensive than MVS.

AES Metal Slug 2 - $2,700

MVS Metal Slug 2 - $49

how's the screen on it?

I just traded my Game Gear with a bad screen (needed caps replaced) for an uninterrupted power supply - specifically an APC Back-UPS XS 1500, new in box!

normally I wouldn't trade away my gaming stuff for non-gaming stuff unless it was a duplicate, but getting something that I can use and that is worth that much for a busted Game Gear was definitely a sweet deal.

He means Players Choice. This copy is the Players Choice re-release after the game became a best seller.
