@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

Quote from: ChuChu Flamingo on 04/17/2017, 10:32 PMOther than the novelty of owning one, im not really sad. Nintendo is literally pants on head retarded for discontinuing it and enabling these scalpers.
my brother is pants-on-head retarded and he takes offense to your post.

Quote from: glazball on 04/13/2017, 02:43 PMThat's correct Hoobs, and you need to watch King of Kong asap.  It's great!

You do look like Billy Mitchell (or Silly Bitchell as the Missile Command wacko calls him)...  for Halloween, you should rock a USA tie and a bottle of hot sauce.  A lot of people hate on Billy Mitchell because of how he is portrayed in the movie, but he's an incredible video game player and a legend imo.  Peter Dinklage's character in Pixels is roughly based on him too.
is Pixels worth watching?

so having 2 show up in the cart was "luck" i guess?
but why purchase 2?
The fact that I had two was amazing since just finding one was almost unthinkable.  Yes having a second controller is nice as well.  Also any navigation on the site was slow and I figured if I wasted any more time I'd lose out.  It was 30 mins of non stop buy it now button hammering on both my PC and cell phone.  I just ended up with 2.
But what are you doing to do with the second one?
yeah.  "why 2"?

i recently got a spare Dragon Slayer case.  Lid is cracked, and crazy as it sounds, i dont have any spare ones at the moment to replace it with. I see a couple in sold listings for $40 and $25.
I will ship this one to the US-48 for $12.50 if anybody needs it.

Quote from: TheClash603 on 04/04/2017, 07:48 PMMaybe I am missing something, but I don't see $700 of value there?

With that said, I love going on adventures and for some reason love flying, so I think the fun of going and getting this stuff is better than the haul.
by some peoples pricing, bomber '93 is $500 alone (THAT CARDBOARD!!!)
Add up 3 boxed consoles at $300 each and he's well in the black.

Quote from: gynt on 04/01/2017, 08:42 PMi sent him a very polite "you probably shouldn't be selling these".
i got three rapid fire responses from him.  will post them in a bit when i am not on my phone.
I bet this went well.
I wrote:
You probably shouldn't be selling these.

Response 1:
I'll take it down if you really think I'm being evil but not everyone has the ability to get these games from the internet and I've had several people thank me so much. Do you think I'm being evil? What about the people that can't do this for themselves and honestly thank me over and over? Will you consider their perspective? If you really think I'm being evil I'll take it down?

Response 2:
Hey, I wasn t trying to be an asshole or smartass, I really wanted your honest opinion. I ve got a great friend I met from on here and we are great friends, and my hand to GOD I asked him earlier if he wanted me to teach him how to do it and he said no I d rather pay you I know how hard that stuff can be and I always get frustrated and pull my hair out. And FYI I send all of my customers free games and DVD movies about video games totally out of the blue. I promise you it s not entirely money based. I really genuinely try to help people enjoy these games for fractions of the cost. Like Keio for Sega cd, it s over a 1000$ on eBay, so most people will never get to play that game. Believe it or not I genuinely care about other people but I ll give you my word, if you honestly think I m wrong after hearing my side of the story. I ll take it down right now. Will you answer as honestly as possible and give me your opinion after speaking to me?

Response 3:
You collect for the Duo? I m in a such a good mood today I ll send you a package. Seriously GOD did some amazing stuff last night for me. Send me your address and I ll mail you out a package today. I really am one good guys bro. Send me your name and address and if you collect for Duo, Sega cd, and Dreamcast, but you gotta hurry if you want me to ship today. Other than that it ll be Monday

I have not responded to him yet.

Quote from: Psycho Alt-Nintega on 03/31/2017, 08:07 PMthe bottom line is the OP is selling these 2 games complete in boxes for the same price these games sell on eBay with case. The moderator posted some links, problem is those were starting bids at 20-50 bucks. Who knows what those game gonna wind up selling for. 80 bucks a pop? maybe?

P.S. Bravoman in box should cost more than Bonks in box. OP I would sell that for 50 also.
lol.

To be honest i'm surprised GVN didn't filter those out. A little while ago it seems to have dominated over VGPC, because of how much more accurate their prices were. I guess these price charting websites still have a little ways to go.
"a little"  lol
until they have a way to only report on paid listings and develop some kind of "look-through" into lots, then these will remain just a loose mess of ebay and amazon "sold" items.

Ugh.  Take your shitty aggregation sites back to nintendoage.  Using these to prove a point shows how out of touch you are.

Look at this listing for Beyond Shadowgate

Then, look at this one

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2008/jun/09/channel4.ofcom

in UK, it's actually a swear word, meaning some one who masterbates, but in the US, i presume the extent of profanity is limited, similar to " jerk"
more importantly, "Wanker" is Peggy Bundy's maiden name.

Quote from: Groover on 03/23/2017, 12:21 PMI have been thinking it would be cool to have a homebrew Tony Hawk game on Turbo. It could be like the Gameboy Advance. or like a sprite hack of Lords of Thunder with Tony Hawk sprite replacement.
like how they essentially copied the mechanics and physics of 720, added an "attack" and called it Yo' Bro

Gynt, I think he was aiming for the letter "E" which was out of sight. He was supposed to wall ride up the fence on the left then ollie off to the right to get it.
ah, you are probably right.  and i think you meant "multiplier", not multiplayer.

it almost looked like he was bailing off the rail, but physics say otherwise.
that striaght ledge looks to be in a horrible spot for attempting stuff down the stairs.  but it could just be the pictures.  do you have any other pics of that rollerblade park?

www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-5200-System-Console-Complete-in-Box-Tested-Working-MUST-READ-DESCRIPTION-/152470078706

QuoteWriting this description causes me GREAT pain because when I was testing the system (which was brand new), I dropped it, shattering the plastic that holds the controllers as well as the front plate (see pics). The system was PRISTINE, still having the brand new scratch protector film (the pink thingys) in tact on one controller and the console. Despite having broken those two pieces, which can be replaced from parts from another console, the system works great and is otherwise in near-mint condition. I still believe this is one of the nicest 5200's I've ever seen, and to anyone that has a spare system to replaces those busted pieces, it'll be a perfect addition to their collection.
Price tag, a mere $400 as of posting.
awesome ebay user name too.  so fitting.
